90-Day Live Event - Reflect & Review

Every Quarter (around the end of the month or the start of the new month) we get the whole group together and have a half-day live event at a convenient location. We ask ourselves questions about what we did, how it worked and what we would do differently. We have guest speakers, experts, hot seats and a detailed and thorough look at your strategy.

The Private Accelerator Facebook Group

The backbone of our group is the dedicated Facebook group.  The Private Facebook Group. Your team, all working for you. This is where you ask questions, help others with their questions and hang out by the water cooler. Feel stuck? Post in the group and together we’ll get you unstuck. We’ll also celebrate our wins and have a shoulder to lean on when poop hits the fan.
