08 Sep Lateral Thinking: The Wealth Secret Behind NAO Success Stories
Lateral thinking is one of the secret sauces behind my success in business and life. Instead of marching in a straight line, it’s about zig-zagging, cartwheeling, or even moonwalking around problems until you hit a smart solution. That’s why I teach it in my 250 business management lectures at National Academy of Osteopathy—because why just be a manual osteopath when you can be a wealthy one? 😀
Take Sensei Raz Chan, one of Canada’s top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coaches. During Covid, when gyms were shutting down, he spotted a loophole: gyms with rehab clinics could stay open. So, he added an osteopathy rehab clinic to his gyms—completely legal—and while competitors closed, their students flocked to him. Today, he’s one of the wealthiest manual osteopaths in Canada and he credits NAO for his success!
He’s referred many students to NAO, and when he attended my free tax seminar last month, he was surprised to find one of his own students, Jesse Kim, sitting in the class!
That’s the power of lateral thinking. At NAO, we don’t just create manual osteopaths—we build wealth-building, problem-solving champions. ❤️
Here’s what Sensei Chan posted recently:
“Thank you Dr. Pourgol for being such a great business mentor… the business knowledge has enabled me to think big and outside the box, allowing me to live my dream life. 🥋
