Atlanta, GA — Thousands of business owners, budding entrepreneurs and others seeking financial security for their families are expected to convene in Atlanta for Conquer Business 2012, a two-day conference to equip, empower and prepare those with a vision for success. The conference will be held on November 15-16 (Thursday and Friday) at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park, a suburb of Atlanta.

Conquer Business 2012 will offer workshops from some of the most renowned successful businessmen and financial leaders to help others succeed by providing tangible tools, models and formulas for success. Additionally, conference attendees will receive private question and answer sessions with T.D. Jakes, secrets for establishing and maintaining successful businesses, meetings with top investors and financiers, and ways to develop sound reliable business plans for immediate financial success.

The conference is sponsored by Kings & Priests Unlimited, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing world class educational environments, conferences and workshops that provide critical thinking, uncommon solutions and practical answers to life’s challenges.

With the current looming financial crisis facing our nation, according to Kings & Priest Unlimited and Conquer Business 2012 Founder Robert Watkins, the conference will allow individuals the opportunity to manifest their own personal destiny.

“We believe business ownership, good financial stewardship and creative entrepreneurship are keys to ending the financial struggle for many families and small businesses, said Watkins. He added, “With unemployment at record high numbers, hundreds of college graduates unable to find work and many others under-employed, Conquer Business 2012 will offer innovative, lasting solutions to pursue non-traditional opportunities for success.”

Jakes, Founder and Pastor of the Potter’s House located in Dallas, will share his personal business model for creating generational wealth. “We live in a society that equates wealth with power,” said Jakes. “The most impactful way to level the playing field is to extend our spending power beyond a single generation through the establishment of successful entrepreneurial endeavors that are stored up as a legacy for our children’s children.”

Other conference speakers include: Valery Burton, featured guest on Dr. Oz, Oprah Winfrey Radio and Essence Magazine; Bishop Dale C. Bronner, founder of Word of Faith Family Worship Center and Chairman of Bronner Brothers Hair Care Products; Robert Watkins, author, businessman and founder of Kings & Priests Unlimited; Vaughn McLaukin, CEO of Kingdom Mall of Jacksonville, Florida, Glenn Henderson, renowned business growth expert, Wendy Walters of Palm Tree Productions and others.

Conquer Business 2012 will cover topics such as leveraging technology for success, developing wealth from God-Given talents, building successful enterprises at home, developing eight (8) income streams, Book publishing and many others.
