The right fit for you
Our Model applies the right fit for your business. Which Program is right for you?"Business Essentials"
Group Coaching
If you are not ready for a dedicated Executive Coach and Peer Advisory Group, we offer a do-it-with-help approach to move at the right pace and cost: the "Business Essentials" Group Coaching Program. For a variety of reasons, we find that Solo-Entrepreneurs (solopreneurs) may not have the resources (i.e., time, money, people) to leverage dedicated Executive Coaching and participate in Peer Advisory Groups.
Our "Business Essentials" Program provides an opportunity to meet monthly (90 minutes) with like-minded business owners. We supplement this with weekly "Ask the Expert" Calls.
"Mastermind"
Peer Advisory Group
Our Mastermind program includes a Peer Advisory Group, Executive Coaching (90-minute monthly 1-on-1), and "Business Essentials". The Peer Advisory Group (Board) is 8-14 CEOs (Members) from diverse industries and backgrounds. In our monthly Group Meeting, we offer a structured, half-day session with other CEOs and experts where we:
• Focus on one Member's Business (Host Presentation)
• Address Member Issues (Group Input across all Member businesses)
• Deliver Impactful Content (Subject Matter Exerts, articles, books, etc.)
• Provide Access to Other CEOs
You also get a monthly, 90-minute 1-on-1 session where we focus on your Business Goals, Strategies, Objectives and Tactics to achieve your Vision.
We get in the trenches alongside you to supplement your efforts. This helps you maintain perspective, develop and execute superior strategies, and create an organization that will work for you. Our coaching allows you to concentrate on driving your business forward, not getting bogged down in the day-to-day grind. Face-to-face coaching plays an integral role in providing the needed perspective, accountability, and encouragement to take strategic action steps. Move farther, faster, on your most important goals!

"Deep Dive"
Private Client
Some entrepreneurs want to dive deeper into their business, get more access, and get faster results. We offer the option for a customized, deep-dive into your Top Three Struggles. These differ from Member to Member.
We will work with you to understand where to focus. For some Members, the challenge may be with staffing. With others, it may be financial or operational. In some cases, there may be personal challenges that need attention. Regardless of the symptoms, we will work with you to identify the root cause and get traction accordingly.
Group Meetings
During the monthly Group Meeting, one Member typically provides a Host Presentation on her/his business. We use this as an opportunity to update the Group on their business, discuss issues their business is facing and provide recommendations to address the issues. Our structured approach provides a risk-free zone to build leadership skills with feedback from an unparalleled audience on issues that are important to you.
During the Issue Discussion, we gather issues across all Members and use a proven approach to clarify the issue and solicit feedback from the entire Group. The diversity of the Group inevitably brings ideas and perspectives not available otherwise.
We also bring Content to you. Our rich history, partners, and network enable us to attract leaders who have in-depth experience in key areas we jointly determine are important to your business. Years of experience, coupled with an understanding of your situation, allow us to tailor curriculum that is foundational in nature. We take the time to apply the lessons to real-life situations.
Most importantly, we provide access to other CEOs. Not only do you get one half-day with Member CEOs each month, but we also extend an invitation to join other CEOs from around the country for our National Client Retreat. During this annual event, we share best practice and peer learning with the extended family of CEO Focus Members and Franchisees.

John
My CEO Focus coach asked me one question that changed my life: “What is your million dollar opportunity?” I instantly knew the answer. I also knew that I probably wasn’t giving that opportunity the time and attention it deserved. Being part of the CEO peer group has helped me stay accountable to that opportunity. And my business revenue has increased by 80% over the past 19 months! ”

For 30 years, I had been working ‘in’ my business. CEO Focus has taught me how to work ‘on’ my business. Not only that, they’ve given me the tools and support to be a better CEO and create a better company.”

CEO Focus “is based on what you put into the program. I ALWAYS take something away…[and] every year when I do an accounting of the program, I have gained exponentially my financial and time commitment to the program because of the key members participating. This is a good group with solid values and a desire to always improve.”
