Are there times you feel isolated, questioning the decisions you make and worrying about falling behind in this fast paced and changing business climate?

You’re not alone! We have all faced the range of emotions from fear to anxiety and more.

One way to build your business, make better decisions, and challenge yourself to grow professional and personally is peer learning forums with Growth 10. www.growth10.com These confidential discussions provide a place to talk about those things that you can’t share anywhere else.

It’s a think tank where you have the support of others who are facing similar opportunities and challenges.

It’s a safe place where members can challenge themselves and each other.

It’s a confidential forum to talk through the tough decisions it takes when running a business.

Person Thinking

These dynamic, engaging half day meetings once a month will provide you with dedicated time to work on your business instead of working in your business. These groups are not for everyone, which is why it’s an invitation only organization based on both company profile, the needs of the applying member as well as the other members in the group. 

Group size is limited to 10 members.  We have found this is the critical mass that creates  energetic discussions.  This is not a book club or social club, it’s a hands on, fast paced real world learning environment for those that want to go to the next level.

Group Vision

Doug’s vision for his Growth 10 group is to assemble a diverse group of entrepreneurially minded business leaders who are challenging themselves to go to the next level. This will involve a willingness to bring forth the real issues while also supporting others as they toil through their own opportunities and challenges.

Member company’s are from a variety of industries anywhere east of the Mississippi. This diversity is key to building thinking models and gaining a broad perspective. Revenue size is $1MM-$25MM (15-250 Employees).

More important than size, industry or location is the mindset of the member. A selection interview allows both the Practice Lead (Doug) and the prospective member to see if there is a fit.  Other members may also be involved in interviewing a potential member.

Think Tank

  • Speakers are offered each month outside of the regular meeting on a variety of topics. These are available to all members. Recordings are also available of current and past presentations.
