    We have been pushing the CEO Mindset course offered by JULO Strategy for a full year now. Along with the great results being achieved by it's graduates, veteran business owners and CEOs (or other executive roles) in Florida can attend the Phase 1 at no-cost thanks to a grant provided by Veterans Florida. A dozen or more FAVOB members have gone through the program and we've gained members out of it as well thanks to our partnership with JULO Strategy to facilitate getting more veterans into the class.

    If you can give three hours every Wednesday evening for six weeks (plus some homework in between), then we highly recommend that you participate in this CEO Mindset course. This is really a rather easy way for business owners to invest in themselves. Please take a hard look at this right now and jump on it if you are tired of being your best/only employee, doing too much on your own, or not seeing the needed growth in revenue. Don't keep thinking that you are too busy to do CEO Mindset. The reason you are too busy is because your business is running you instead of you running your business. Learn to ADE yourself - Automate, Delegate, and Eliminate.

    Our next CEO Mindset™ course is right around the corner! Seats are filling up fast! You must apply for this cohort and the deadline is OCTOBER 28th! Reserve your seat before they are gone! https://lnkd.in/dD5zdXR

    DATES:

    Wednesdays Nov 4th through Dec 9th, 2020 5:30 pm-8:30 pm

    Wednesdays Jan 6th through Feb 10th, 2021 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm

    Have more questions? Please reach out to Beth Zimmer at beth@julostrategy.com!
