• “My belief is you need to step out”

What makes a superstar in business? What makes most just muddle along, never touching the top,? Roy Osing has an idea. Or as he might put it, an audacious idea.
The veteran entrepreneur outlines his thoughts in this edition of Bizgnus Interviews.
“My belief is you need to step out. You need to do things that others don’t do,” Mr. Osing says. “You need to get away the world of copying. You need to do things bold and courageous because, quite frankly, that’s what we need in the world.
As president of a major Canadian data and internet company, he credits his “audacious” leadership ways in helping grow the internet-based company from its early stage to $1 billion in annual sales when he left the firm. The company has since grown its internet, television, and cellular telephone sales further, posting operating revenues in excess of $18 billion in its fiscal 2022.
In the years since leaving the company, Mr. Osing says he has devoted his efforts to inspiring leaders, entrepreneurs and organizations to stand apart from the average to achieve their true potential.
“There’s always going to be superstars. The problem is, the percentage of superstars is really, really, small,” he says. “So you have this bell curve with the majority of human beings stuck in the middle of the bell curve. It’s my view that we can move them ten points toward the superstar. Imagine the power, the energy and the performance that would unleash.”

Mr. Osing is the author of the “Be Different or Be Dead” book series. He says its latest book, his seventh, “The Audacious Unheard-Of Ways I Took a Startup to a Billion in Sales,” (Morgan James Publishing, May 2022) helps small businesses and nonprofits develop strategic plans.
“You don’t need a five-year plan,” he says. “And you don’t need a $50,000 consulting arrangement.”
