More than the Law of Attraction, this course is about the Law of Action!!

Here are some of the key learning areas you will experience:

UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
Your business requires a unique value proposition. What is it and how do you create one? Does the business or franchise you are considering have one? Can I take a business without one and modify it successfully? Learn these answers and more as you lay the foundation of all highly successful businesses.

“Your UVP transforms your business knowledge into the ‘BUSINESS PROPHET’, Thanks!”
Bruce Blankenhorn

STRATEGY AND MARKETING
Learn from real examples of how to study a marketplace, capture and evaluate the data, and make key strategic decisions for a business. This is the second foundational layer required of all successful businesses. Learn the SWOT analysis, data sources, guerilla marketing research, go-to-market strategies and more.

FINANCE PRINCIPLES
This segment covers the key principles that skyrocket individuals from nothing to super successful following proven principles. Many of these are not taught in MBA schools. You will learn key financial measurements and practice applying them. You will evaluate real business statements to learn what to look for and why! Learn corporate structures and how to take advantage of them.

“Steve is an incredible teacher. He makes the most ‘dry’ subject, like finance, both fun and interesting.”
Walter G.

PERSONNEL / TEAM BUILDING
How you build your overall team determines the height of your success. Learn solid principles and how to fire someone when you have to. One person can only reach a certain level when they are not leveraging the key components of highly successful people.

CAPITALIZATION & FUNDING
All business schools normally teach only 3 ways to fund a company. Here we discuss raising capital from various sources including Angel investors, Venture Capitalists, traditional funding and a total of 20 possible funding opportunities. You will learn why ‘traditional’ methods are often the worst and why no one tells you this. Everyone should know how to buy a business for ‘nothing down’!

INVESTOR PRESENTATIONS
What do financiers and investors look for? Why do they approve or disapprove a funding request? Apply principles you have learned earlier in the program to get the money you need to buy, grow, or fix your business.

YOU OWN THE BUSINESS, NOW WHAT?
Take your lessons learned so far, gather your team, and develop your action plan. This is the time you take your lessons learned and apply them to define your success. This group dynamic is the first of several challenges you must fact to Master Your Business.

NEGOTIATION SKILLS
The most forgotten about, the least taught and most valuable skill of business and life is negotiating. This segment is based on the one-of-a-kind teachings of Mr. Burgess who covers the fundamentals for negotiating and lays down the principle of ‘Mutually Agreeable’ solutions. In the roll plays you get to test your skills as well as the ability to identify opportunities. Then you implement your skills and test the results in a realistic environment. These skills have had a profound affect on participants and helped them to realize phenomenal results again and again!!

“The negotiating skills will make a significant difference in my future business endeavors.”
Bruce Blankenhorn

THE COMPANY GAME™
You are part of a team with a number of problems to solve. Together you must get the Company moving forward and weather the storms that come at you. Interactive, challenging, real-life experiences will test your resolve, your skills, your communication abilities, your leadership, your teamwork and much more. The Company Game™ is unlike anything you have ever done and it prepares you for the real world it comes from!

“Walter analyzed my business in no time and presented his findings and recommendations for my business. I had to learn some very tough lessons and implement changes I did not understand at the time. Within three months my business was turned around and back to a much better profit!”
Ronny Heuberger

VALUATION & EXIT STRATEGIES
One of the most important elements taught in the course is the way companies are valued whether being purchased or sold. Learn the best techniques and how they affect your exit strategy (and why you must have one!).

LEVERAGE YOUR NETWORK
Businesses make the most money for their owners when they are leveraged in all ways including Other People’s Technology, Other People’s Money, Other People’s Skills, Other People's Knowledge and Other People’s Networks. Learn to leverage your business and dramatically increase your results.
