Your Business, Better! Bootcamp

Building Solid Business Foundations, Part 1


Sorry, Postponed to January 2016!  Contact us to get details and/or signup!  Stay tuned for updates.


So, how’s business?  OK, could it be better?  We’ve all heard the statistics about the failure rate of new businesses… something like 9 out of 10 fail before 10 years.  Of course, nobody thinks it will be their business.  So what is it that separates that one from the pack?  There are lots of factors, but we’d argue the most significant factor is that most businesses haven’t done the homework necessary to build a strong foundation and deep understanding of their business. 

We get it, you're busy.  Too many get caught up working IN their business, and fail to do enough work ON their business.  That’s what this bootcamp is all about!  Come join us!  Register now to reserve space for your company - spaces will fill up fast.

We’ll help you take the time, systematically and thoroughly, to look at your business through some important filters to help you really understand your business and its opportunities to grow & thrive.  We’ll meet every other week to give you the time to do your homework (exercises focused on digging into YOUR business) and absorb the lessons & insights gained - all while still managing your day-to-day responsibilities.

Created & Facilitated by Mike Ames

  • Pricing
  • Positioning
  • and a few other important P's 


Group discussions with your peers and our Founder Mike Ames.
  • Specific objectives and assignments for each topic will be assigned and expected to be completed in-between sessions
  • This is not a classroom, a collection of lectures, or a bunch of case studies spouting theory, you are here to work ON your business, one digestible piece at a time, so you can gain a thorough knowledge of your business and its opportunities
  • Just like in Las Vegas, what happens in the room, stays in the room - confidentiality, constructive criticism, active participation, moral support, basic courtesy, & respect from all participants will be expected (we reserve the right to dismiss abusers from the program without a refund, if necessary)
