DOMINATE Entrepreneurial Summit Returns to Tampa Bay with Special Bonuses from Top Entrepreneurs

CLEARWATER, FL, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The 2026 DOMINATE Entrepreneurial Summit will bring together an expanded panel of 12 nationally recognized business leaders to share their advice on what it takes to run a successful business today.

This summit will provide an opportunity to learn from some of the top entrepreneurs in the country as they share their knowledge on four topics that are essential to thrive in business today, including marketing, artificial intelligence, mindset, and finance.

In addition, in-person attendees will receive a set of three powerful books from some of the top nationally recognized entrepreneurs in America, including Derek Carlson, Sharron Lechter, and Jordan Samuel Fleming.

These entrepreneurs are leaders in their respective industries, and in addition, have a history of going above and beyond to support fellow entrepreneurs through information, mentorship, and direct support. The contribution of their books, which will be given away for free to all in-person attendees, is a continuation of their commitment to the entrepreneurial community.

Derek Carlson, who will be speaking on the mindset, resilience, & overcoming adversity panel says, “Entrepreneurs often focus on strategy, marketing, and sales. Those are essential, but many do not prepare for the emotional weight of entrepreneurship until they are already facing a crisis.”

Before his current role with Realty ONE Group MVP, Carlson founded and led a brokerage that grew to more than 1,300 agents at its peak. After years of high-stakes litigation, the company ceased operations, and Carlson continued his work in real estate leadership.

“The mindset I developed throughout my career helped me continue moving forward through one of the most difficult periods of my life,” Carlson explains. “I have seen major setbacks overwhelm talented entrepreneurs. If sharing what I learned helps one person face adversity, regain perspective, and keep going, I will consider that a win.”

This mindset is outlined in Carlson’s bestselling book, Unlock Your MVP, which provides a clearly documented framework to master your mindset, expand your vision, and live your purpose, and is based on his own journey through intense adversity.

Sharon Lechter, known best for her role in co-authoring the bestselling, Rich Dad Poor Dad, as well as her national financial literacy initiatives under several presidential administrations, has graciously provided one of her bestselling books, Outwitting the Devil.

She said, “Fear, doubt, indecision, and uncertainty can become invisible prisons. Outwitting the Devil challenges us to recognize those forces, and shares how to break free from them. It teaches us that our greatest obstacles are often not outside of us, but within us. When we take ownership of our thoughts, our decisions, and our actions, we reclaim the power to create our own future and create the success we deserve.”

Lechter has positively impacted millions with possibly one of the most widely-read books for entrepreneurs, and despite this mammoth achievement, she has never rested on her laurels. Instead, she’s continued to double down, year after year, with her free information, multiple books, financial literacy initiatives, mentorship, and even sharing her expertise in entrepreneurial communities like Family Mastermind.

And Jordan Samuel Fleming, nationally recognized AI evangelist—and more importantly, AI realist, has provided his bestselling book, The AI Workforce, which cuts through the AI hype to help entrepreneurs implement AI in a strategic and scalable way to maximize impact in their own businesses.

“Too many companies are investing heavily in AI tools without seeing the growth they expected. The problem usually isn’t the technology…it’s that they’re trying to force AI into a company structure that was never designed for it. The greatest opportunity of our generation isn’t simply using AI to do the same work faster; it’s redesigning how businesses operate so that people and AI can each do what they do best. The entrepreneurs who recognize that shift will build the defining companies of the next decade,” he explains

Fleming is best known for his role as the Co-Founder & Chairman of smrtPhone.io, an Agentic Conversation Platform that helps businesses reach more prospects and convert them into paying clients, and in recent years, has built a name as one of the leading voices in the AI space, both due to his own use of AI and his mentorship in helping other entrepreneurs effectively implement AI in their businesses.

He will also be speaking on this topic on the leveraging AI panel as well as the event’s Power Track, which is a series of quick-hitting three-minute presentations, delivered in a condensed TEDx style where each speaker shares one laser-focused piece of insight, actionable advice, or strategic question for entrepreneurs to ponder.

David Bell, CEO of the national workplace safety company, USAMDT and a returning panelist from last year’s event said he’s excited to learn from these entrepreneurs.

“These are people I’ve followed for years because of the insight and motivation they provide. I’m honored that I’ve been asked to speak again, which is due to the insight I’ve developed over a long career of adapting to business challenges and overcoming intense adversity. But I can honestly say I wouldn’t have been able to achieve that without the mentorship, both in person and through books like these that are being given away at this year’s DOMINATE Entrepreneurial Summit, that I’ve received over the years. It’s an honor to share the stage with so many people I look up to,” he explains.
