Register for The Most Comprehensive Business Development Conference Available Today:
June 15-17 | |
When Dave and Katie Carmichael, owners of the Main Street Lanes bowling center in Farmville, Virginia attended my Destination BootCamp last year, Dave gave me this compliment: "Your BootCamp is much better than any industry conference. This is the most comprehensive business development conference available today! It's nice to have all this information in one setting."
Dave said it best: In one place, over 2˝ days, you will learn my comprehensive 14-step business strategy that you have never been taught at any conference you've ever attended.
Think of the typical conference you attend and then, compare it to our BootCamp:
I am the only one presenting this material, and there is new information presented in every BootCamp. When you are here, I don't just tell you what to do and let you go home. I show you what to do and what to do first when you get back to your business, so your business can start its reinvention immediately.
Typical conferences can have hundreds or even thousands of attendees. Our BootCamp size is limited and we typically have between 20-40 business owners attend. I know you need to have time to ask individual questions in class, and outside of class where you can work with me one-on-one, either before class begins, or in the evening.
When was the last time you were in a class with other successful, passionate business owners all focused on the same goal? Our June 15-17 BootCamp will be our 22nd BootCamp we've conducted, and at every one, we have Graduates who retake the workshop, just so they can stay up-to-date on the newest Destination tools.
One last question: When was the last time you took three days away from your business to actually work ON your business, rather than just working IN it? The BootCamp is your time!
We've posted a short 15-minute video that shows what you'll learn at the BootCamp. Go to www.DestinationBootCamp.com and click on the BLUE wording that says "Watch a BootCamp Informational Webinar" and it will begin automatically. Look, don't believe me: Go to our Testimonial page and call any of the business owners who are listed on that page. I don't care who you call, but ask them this: Whether the BootCamp was worth the investment, and whether they grew their business because of what they learned. Read about the businesses who have grown their sales 5-fold, who have made their businesses famous, and who are now understanding how much more fun it is to own a business that actually generates profits! As one owner told me: "Until I attended the BootCamp, I was playing too small a game." Some of you might not understand this, but if you have ever looked at your business and been dissatisfied where it's at and you've wondered if your business in its current state was as good as it was going to get, take this opportunity to attend our June 15-17 Destination BootCamp, here in Longmont, Colorado, and start playing a larger game! It's your choice! Click here to register for our June 15-17 Destination BootCamp, or go to www.DestinationBootCamp.com to learn more. |
