Art is a wealth of knowledge on many subjects; he always takes the time to get to know individuals personally and connect with the people he interacts with. I’ve learned much from Art and had the pleasure to have him as a guest on my podcast, “Superhuman Longevity Podcast,” to discuss the importance of connecting with one’s health, longevity, and business success.

“As I see it, everybody is a leader and makes leadership decisions. What I share with people in leadership is learning how to create more options to choose from and how to apply them.”
– Art Bejarano
Create the future
you always wanted
Connect to create the extraordinary is about generating a multitude of options for yourself to gain more control on your career, business and life.
We often lose sight of who we are, get bogged down by routine, and limit our own opportunity set and growth. This transformational mindset enables you to rapidly seize the opportunities that inherently surround you.
I share with clients and audiences alike my personal experience of reinventing myself and my business in 2008 and thriving during the crisis.
By reaching out to create synergies that would allow my company to survive, I developed a powerful method to facilitate a new personal and professional paradigm. The objective is to identify opportunities and embed connecting with others as a vector to create the team and package you can leverage to close more and better deals.
Escaping the old and embracing the new is a frame of mind that initially challenges one’s own beliefs of what is possible. Yet, connect to create the extraordinary is a powerful mindset that drives to achieve more by doing less by understanding that connecting and sharing is the ultimate transformational force multiplier.
It is a new way of running your business that will allow you to reframe your future knowing that you are creating the conditions for you to gravitate to better opportunities and attract synergetic partners to grow your business.

Creating force multipliers within your company by redefining the leadership paradigm
As business managers, our job is not to manage people. Art believes it’s not enough for people to do their job “properly,” but rather empower them to do their job exceptionally well.
He always got the best results when every person on the team assumed leadership in their area of responsibility, ensuring they had all the resources needed to get the job done to its highest level and to the best of their ability.
When working at the SITIX Sumitomo silicon manufacturing plant, he first told his team, “You are the professionals here; I shouldn’t have to tell you what to do or how to do it. You are already trained for this. I need you to tell me what you need from me so you can do your job to the highest standard, be most efficient possible and get home safe.”
The results were phenomenal because a large part of what the team needed was communication-based, and by improving internal flows, we achieved results around force multiplying principles.
Talk takeaways
Art shares his methods to empower teams and leaders with the knowledge, mindset, and confidence to perform at their best.
The credibility process method forces team members to become more congruent and confidently communicate what they are doing.
Force Multipliers Make You More Money
Thinking out of the box helps you identify and leverage connections between needs and people to create an abundance of opportunities that generate more revenue.
In 2008, Art lost over 50% of his business from one day to the next and was faced with laying off a significant number of his highly trained and experienced engineers and designers.
This perspective was painful since it took him years to assemble the right team. The loss of business was also putting his company’s future in jeopardy.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and he needed to think fast to find solutions. Then it struck him. As the director of business development of my own business, creating and leveraging connections seemed the logical solution and the way forward.
He reached out to his competitors in the same predicament and proposed collaborating to retain their workforces. The proposal consisted of “leasing” members of each other’s workforce as extra business arose. These short-term contracts would prohibit either company from fully onboarding new hires due either the lack of schedule, skillsets, or expertise required. Each person leased was able to retain their current employment and benefits. Each business kept its valued employees and split the profits after costs… win-win.
His proposal fell on friendly ears and was soon put to good use on a large Orion Crew Vehicle project that was seriously behind schedule. They went on to deliver the project three months ahead of schedule.
Art subsequently replicated this model numerous times and decoded and quantified it into a method that he now uses with his clients.
Talk takeaways
Art shares the secrets and mindset to systematically use synergies and collaborations as force multipliers and how to extract exponential value out of your network to achieve extraordinary results.
During market downturns, I have experienced Art’s ability to adjust his business strategies, which has always given me the feeling that I am in good hands in whatever project we work on.
I continue to be impressed by his hard work, laser focus, and diligence to ensure that his clients and staff are taken care of, and their expectations are exceeded.

Art Bejarano is a serial entrepreneur that grew his business during the 2008 economic downturn.
This was a total game-changer for him because he developed the unique expertise needed to attract strategic partners and build the teams to drive the solutions you need to cost-effectively reposition your business and achieve rapid growth.
Key to reinventing his business in 2008 was his ability to spot trends, create new connections, and identify value opportunities.
The solutions he offers help companies learn how to create new or build upon existing connections, take advantage of such trends, and leverage their intrinsic value.
Reframing and repositioning play a crucial role in this transformational process and call for managing and indeed changing one’s ego, beliefs, business culture, or practices, especially self-limiting ones.
Transitioning away from the old way of doing things is how you create a holistic environment in which new opportunity abounds and value is created.
