Mike Rayburn is uniquely qualified in the world to teach this program. While there are many speakers who study successful people and teach what they’ve learned, Mike Rayburn doesn’t teach what he thinks… he teaches what he knows by literally doing it. In fact, Mike has achieved top 1% three times in his life:
- In the world of college entertainment there are tens of thousands of entertainers. Mike was voted America’s Campus Entertainer of the Year three times in four years (by 5400 colleges and universities). No one has done that before or since.
- Beyond the college market, Mike rose from playing for seven people in a bar in Virginia, to eight command performances at Carnegie Hall, and recording a “Live At Carnegie Hall” CD. Few entertainers in the world have achieved this.
- As a professional speaker, Mike was recently inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame. Fewer than 1 percent of speakers have achieved this.
But please make no mistake, this is not an ego-centric presentation, these are merely credibility points. Mike draws examples from many great achievers… from Lance Armstrong to Neil Armstrong, from business, sales and entrepreneurial successes to sports, music and entertainment.

What If…?
“Mike’s program was amazing! He was a joy to work with, he made me look very good and I appreciate that! I cannot recommend him enough … FANTASTIC!”
“Mike Rayburn is an incredible speaker and an inspiring individual! Mike opened up our two-day training with his “What if…” presentation. What a way to start a meeting! He was the perfect choice as he set the tone for the whole conference. Between laughing and being entertained, it made everyone think deeply about the human potential inside all of us. It has been said that if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. With Mike asking this group of financial advisors “What if?” it opened up the opportunity to look at things differently. Mike Rayburn is an incredible speaker and an inspiring individual!”
“Mike Rayburn was the best keynote speaker we have had so far. That will be hard to top. What I liked best is he showed you how it applies to each one of us and how to do it.”

Mike Rayburn’s incredible talent, humorous delivery, stage presence and ability to connect with the group kept us all engaged and entertained. I cannot remember the last time one of our speakers concluded to a thunderous standing ovation like Mike did. I continue to receive “thank you” calls from our attendees on Mike’s behalf.”
“What a wonderful performance Mike Rayburn did for my client, the National Association of Mortgage Brokers! This is typically a tough crowd to win over, but Mike’s talent had them calling for more. In my ten years with this client, I have never seen them call for an encore. I am so grateful that Mike happily obliged. I would highly recommend Mike to other clients I have. It is a pleasure to work with him before and during the event!”
