Change, Courage, Unity, Innovation and Hope

Mar 1st

Posted by Steven Schussler in Authored

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of being a Keynote Speaker at the SATO Leadership Conference in Orlando, FL.  I was given five words to base my speech around; Change, Courage, Unity, Innovation and Hope. I’d like to talk a little about these five words because I feel they are important to remember and initiate in day to day business or activities. We always hear the saying, “Change is good.” I agree with this saying. If it wasn’t for change we would have never been able to advance in technology or the medical fields. Courage is a word I know well, and talk about in my book, It’s A Jungle In There.  I talk about how it takes Courage to live out your dreams even if people tell you you’re crazy. Unity is a word that everyone has been a part of, whether it’s working on a business project or making dinner there is always someone there to give you a helping hand. Innovation is the key to new ideas and contraptions. Without Innovation we would not have the light bulb or Twitter. Last but not least I’d like to talk about Hope. Nothing can be accomplished without Hope. Hope is the fuel that drives you to Innovate and Change. Hope brings people together and gives you the Courage to keep moving forward day after day. Please feel free to share your comments on this blog.  Steven Schussler

“Never cut what you can untie.” – Joseph Joubert

In Steven Schussler’s book, It’s A Jungle In There, Chapter 26 talks about bridges and crossing them a second time.  At some point in your entrepreneurial life (maybe at many points) someboby is going to disappoint you or, possibly, take advantage of you.  When this happens, should you just write this person off and decide to work with him again?  To learn more about what Steven has to share on this topic in his book  go to It’s A Jungle In There to order your autographed copy.

People – Have a Caring Attitude Toward All Living Things

Jan 17th

Posted by Schussler Creative in Authored

Chapter 20 of It’s A Jungle In There by Steven Schussler is about PEOPLE.  Do you care about the feelings and needs of others and take active steps to help them achieve their personal goals?  Think back for a moment and identify someone you really respect — somebody for whom, if he asked you to go to the ends of the Earth, you would make the trip.  Chances are this somebody is a person who cared about you.  Giving others the sense you care about them is one of the most important elements when it comes to make a positive impression on them.  This and many more Inspiring Lessons, Hard-Won Insights and Other Acts of Entrepreneurial Daring are written in Steven Schussler’s book “It’s A Jungle In There”. 

“I will pay more for the ability to deal with people than any other ability under the sun.” John D. Rockefeller

Steven Schussler: ‘I’m not one who gives up’

Steven Schussler: ‘I’m not one who gives up’

Creative stunts helped Steven Schussler launch his career and later get Rainforest Cafe off the ground.

By WENDY LEE, Star Tribune

Before Steven Schussler created and sold the Rainforest Cafe, his neighbors thought he was into black magic.

Schussler spent nearly $400,000 turning his St. Louis Park home into his concept, with sound systems, waterfalls, 40 tropical birds, two 150-pound tortoises and other exotic animals.

He painted his ceilings black, so that when the greenery couldn’t cover all parts of the wall the rainforest facade would look more real. He spent nights crying and at times, even he questioned whether he was psychotic.
