The entrepreneurial genius, who has founded and nurtured twelve businesses over two decades, has turned around businesses that were making enormous losses and has consulted to countless successful companies including Goodyear, Baskin Robbins, Subway, Fisher & Paykel and many more.

Hazard’s business talents earned him international respect, so much so that he was elected by the world’s foremost business leaders for the role of Global President of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, a role he says was one of his greatest challenges.

“That was by far the toughest leadership position I have held,” he admits, speaking of an organization that represents a global community of successful business owners.

Hazard’s experiences in the business world have allowed him valuable insight into the workings of organizations and the minds of customers. His particular area of specialty is in the franchise space where he has been a leading consultant for nearly 25 years.

He is also the host of his own Cable TV talk show in the USA – ‘Gettin’ Down 2 Business’, on the BizTV Cable Network and TiVo broadcasting into 30 million homes each week, and a regular Co-Host on ‘The Big Biz Show’ on the CBS Talk Radio Network and the Business Talk Radio Network broadcasting to 1.5 Million Radio Listeners, and simulcast the BizTV Cable Network.

​Purpose, Passion, People and Profits - 'Guiding your business with clarity and vision to a more profitable future'

What if you knew the ‘one thing’ that would show your business the path out of the GLOOM and into the BOOM? Serial entrepreneur Troy Hazard believes the answer is not found within something you seek, but more in something you already have and may have forgotten.

Troy is an entrepreneurial veteran who had bought, sold and grown more companies before his 40th birthday than some business people would even consider in a lifetime. As a result he has seen his fair share of cycles in the economy. In the first recession of the late 80’s he lost $250,000. In the second one in the mid 90’s the amount was closer to $1 million. In the tech wreck and the more recent correction of 2008, it was an entirely different outcome!

It was through these tough lessons early in his business career, that he developed a powerful personal strategy that helped him unlock greater purpose. This strategy reignited his passion and in turn that of the people he led, so he could go on to grow and develop a series of successful profitable companies over the course of a decade.

In this keynote Troy provides simple steps to the clarity of vision you need to give your business a more purposeful view of the future.

He will show you how to:

 

  • Unlock the true value of the clarity of vision.
  • Find your personal purpose.
  • Use passion to drive power.
  • Inspire the people you lead to have the same vision, purpose and passion.
  • Master the strategy of profits to the POWER of 3.

 

​Revenue Through Relationships - 'Developing significant customer connection'

In a world of connectivity, why is it that we sometimes fail to really ‘connect’ as humans? In our personal lives we all enjoy relationships that revolve around authenticity, honesty, openness, vulnerability, and respect. Yet in business we often treat the development of key relationships as a mechanical, somewhat technical event, as opposed to an emotional bond with another person. Why?

Given the new normal for business is faster, better, yesterday, it’s no surprise that the way we interact with our customer base has changed. However, the core reason for them wanting to connect has not.

Troy will demonstrate how to develop effective and efficient strategies to embrace the true emotion of a relationship in business and harness that with the technology we have come to rely on so heavily.

He will offer real world examples of what he has done in his businesses to not only stay relevant to his customer base, but also remain significant, in turn facilitating extraordinary growth.

Troy’s presentation delivers answers for how to:

 

  • Identify the 5 key reasons why people do business with you.
  • Use the new voice of word of mouth.
  • Talk TO your customers not AT them.
  • Maintain relationships that are emotive, distinctive, and collaborative.
  • Develop the 6 relationships that drive revenue in your business.

 

​Embrace Evolution - 'Be first to change of first to die!'

It’s a fact – change is constant, change is inevitable, change is good… Unless, of course, it’s forced.

As business leaders we’d all love to tell our team to Change or DIE! For many years this was the catch cry in Troy Hazard’s businesses – until he learned that the more effective way to facilitate change was to ’embrace evolution’.

Through his 20 years as a business consultant and business owner of eleven companies Troy has turned around countless businesses. His philosophy is that you make change a consciousness in the business, not just an action. And to do that, you need to embrace evolution.

In this presentation Troy will walk you down the path to conscious change. He will identify the killers of change and how to avoid them, the drivers of change and how to harness them, the facilitators of change and how to inspire them, and how to put this all into your master P.L.A.N.

Troy’s presentation delivers real life lessons for how to:

 

  • Avoid things that cripple a culture of conscious change.
  • Develop evolutionary awareness in your business.
  • Create a culture in your business that drives change.
  • Hire and inspire team members to be evolutionary.

Ask a leader of leaders. Troy Hazard is a business veteran with eleven companies he has founded, built and sold over 20 years.

​Going Global - 'The street fighters guide to the global economy'

It’s a question that is on everyone’s mind. How am I going to compete in a global economy? Should I be focusing on defending my ground against global predators, or attacking them on their turf?

For many the thought of competing in a global economy is nothing more than a nervous distraction. Do you simply circle the wagons, or face the challenge of time zones, long flights, and language misinterpretations. Or should you be doing both?

Troy Hazard has lived some of those frustrations. And from that has developed some simple street fighting steps to take your business to the suburbs and cities of another country, all the while keeping a watchful eye on your backyard.

Through his 20 years as a business consultant and business owner of eleven companies Troy has worked and consulted in 16 countries, and spoken on international business in 23 countries around the world.

Add to that he is a past global president for the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (www.eonetwork.org) and you have a wealth of knowledge that will cut days and months off your strategic development on how to compete in a global economy.

In this presentation Troy will offer up answers to some of the questions that are on your mind and give you a roadmap on how you can approach a strategy to go global.

Troy’s presentation delivers street fighting solutions for how to:

 

  • Be ‘open’ for business on a global platform.
  • Avoid the 6 rookie mistakes when considering a global strategy.
  • Navigate the 6 keys on how to raise money for international expansion.

STRONGER TOGETHER: ‘Unlocking the power of unity in your business.’

Doing more with less, pushing harder for the same results, and asking your people to conquer an increasingly competitive market requires a cohesive team, working in a collaborative, constructive, and unified culture. Sounds easy…right?

All too often business leaders talk about unity in the business, but fail to identify what will actually unify those they lead. The key is to match personal and business Visions, Values and Victories.

In this presentation Troy will reveal the 5 steps to creating a true culture of unity in your business. He will draw from 25 years as a business leader in the 11 companies he has owned, and offer real world examples of how to develop a Stronger Together mentality and strategy in your business. He will also step you through the Stronger Together strategies he has developed for some of the world’s greatest brands; how they worked, why they worked and for whom they worked. Troy’s presentation gives clarity to why UNITY starts with “U” and the power for how to:

  • Align personal Vision with business vision to deliver clarity of purpose
  • Develop a strategy for sharing Values to create ‘culture consensus’
  • Leverage a mindset of shared responsibility to share Victory
  • Implement Stronger Together as a sustainable strategy in your business

Let me preface this by saying I am not an economist, nor am I am accountant. So outside of what you pick up from my personal experiences and business journey, you should seek your own professional advice with a financial advisor.

What I have done is steer 12 companies through 4 major economic shifts over 29 years and survived. So let me share with you my 5-point survival guide to Future-Proofing Your Business through the next, inevitable, financial correction.
