LIVE Webinar Scaling Up Rockefeller Habits 2.0 – join me 13 Nov. 12pm ET — you can sign up here. More below, but first…

Buy Then Build eBook $0.99 Until Friday 02 Nov. Walker Deibel's book is subtitled How Acquisition Entrepreneurs Outsmart the Startup Game. Acquisitions are a great way to start and/or scale. More below, but second…

10x People to 10x Company it's an important mindset, to think about how to 10x the firm (drives exponential thinking) vs. just 2x (which drives incremental thinking). And it doesn't necessarily mean 10x revenue — but finding your 10x factor over the competition. A critical component is 10x'ing the knowledge of your team – and why Steve Jobs' last initiative was Apple U to guarantee his baby would continue to scale after he was gone. But how do us "mere mortal" companies provide this corporate university benefit to our team…?

…Please Meet Ross Shott, Formerly Singularity U having helped Singularity University scale from start-up to nearly $50 million, we're excited that Ross Shott has joined our Growth Institute team as COO and Integrator. Post military, he has been involved in turnarounds and start-ups for over 25 years, working with companies from $5 million to $3 billion, across numerous industries. Ross knows how to scale companies and 10x people!

Ross is Scheduling 15 One-Hour Calls serious C-Level Execs wanting to scale, if you're working to transform culture, innovate processes, and develop high performers to take your operations to the next level Ross is taking 15 leaders through a 1-hour call to help them organize, operate, and build a team that can scale by leveraging our educational resources. To schedule your call, please email him at [email protected].

Finally Getting Your Corporate University in Place Since talent is THE constraint for most scaleups, on the call Ross will also cover the particulars of our signature program Master of Business Dynamics (One Pager / Full Description) comprising six master business courses utilizing our 4-step hybrid learning model. You can share this experience with senior team members through our MBD+1 and even provide learning to your entire organization through the scaling up club. Executive education is no longer a "nice to have;" it's an imperative if you're going to drive productivity and effectiveness throughout the organization.

Buy Then Build eBook Despite the popularity of entrepreneurship, we really haven't engineered success into the startup model. Buying an existing business to grow, manage, and innovate creates a margin of safety, accessible capital, and full ownership for starting out on your own. Buy Then Build explores why acquisition entrepreneurship is a better model for most entrepreneurs, and how to successfully outsmart the startup game. Grab the eBook version for $.99 by Friday 02 Nov.

Nov 13 Webinar As you know, for over 20 years it's been our mission to help middle market organizations to scale up quickly, yet sustainably and without drama. You probably already know the basic tools and frameworks from the insights and my books, but the more advanced stuff has been only accessible through our paid training and workshops. That's why I'm so excited to invite you to my live webinar with the Growth Institute to learn how to counter the growth paradox. I'll be sharing our frameworks, along with the most recent (and impressive) case studies of their implementation.

We'll also host a LIVE Q&A at the end of it – so you'll have the opportunity to ask those burning questions. It's happening on Nov 13th at 12pm EST and you can sign up here
