This presentation will show how Objectivism can be used as a competitive advantage leading to personal success in the "real world" today. The practical application of Objectivist virtues in a non-Objectivist world will be discussed.

In a pragmatic society, for Objectivism to have creditability as a philosophy, it is critical that individual Objectivists be successful. Unfortunately, many Objectivists seem to view Objectivism either as a "game" or a "burden" because of its inconsistency with the dominant beliefs in our culture. In fact, Objectivism is a "real world" philosophy and, as such, is the philosophy of success.
