Join Us For a Dinner Gathering of Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders to Meet New Colleagues, Discover New Opportunities, and Gain Valuable Insights That Will Accelerate Your Most Important Goals and Squash Your Most Frustrating Challenges

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dear Fellow Business Leader,

As an entrepreneur and thought leader, you know the value of connecting and conversing with like-minded people. Two hours in an inspiring setting while breaking bread with the best and brightest is guaranteed to give you a fresh perspective and maybe the exact insight you need to accelerate your mission and vision.

You’ve probably noticed that things are changing for thought leaders on the Internet. Strategies that once worked well for attracting an audience and selling your expertise don’t work as well as they used to.

The hype and noise are at an all-time high and will only continue to get worse, making it harder to stand out. The market is flooded with products and services that over promise and under deliver.

The thought leadership industry has been homogenized and commoditized by marketers in leader’s clothing. Creators of online programs and courses are resorting to lower prices and longer payment plans in order to compete.

This has led to a new set of challenges for thought leaders like you who want to grow their income and influence without joining the “cycle of sameness,” the “hype and hustle” hamster wheel, and the race to the bottom on value and price.

But as you know, with these new challenges also come new opportunities for those who are ready to innovate and elevate the way thought leaders grow their income and impact on the Internet.

That’s why I created the Business Builders Think Tank — to bring together like-minded influencers to share a meal and the latest insights about what’s working now and what’s next when it comes to growing a brand and business. But this goes beyond just swapping tactics, strategies, and resources.

The Business Builders Think Tank is about creating a place where we can sift through the noise, go beyond the one-size-fits-all advice, and put aside the supposed “shoulds” of business so that you can design a business that fits YOU. Your vision. Your values. Your mission.

There are 1,837,043 ways to grow your brand and business both online and off. You might as well choose one that fits you. I’ve designed the Business Builders Think Tank dinners to help you do exactly that.

When you attend one of these networking and discussion dinners, you can rest assured that you’ll walk away with…[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Connections, Resources, Perspective, and Insights that Align with the Way You Want to Lead and Grow Your Business

I know you value your time and energy. To ensure that you get a high degree of value, this is an invitation-only dinner. That’s not to be “exclusive” or create an “in-crowd.” This is to ensure that everyone who attends knows that the conversation and connections are curated to align with your values.

When you attend this dinner can expect to:

  1. Extend your network and reach new opportunities
  2. Meet new friends and potential collaborators who share similar values and vision as you
  3. Discover what’s working right now (and into the future) for growing your income and reach
  4. Discover fresh, innovative ideas to fuel your creativity and vision
  5. Work through concerns and challenges in a confidential, casual, and safe space (we will have a private dining room to give us a separate and quiet are to meet)
  6. Gain valuable insights and discover new resources that will accelerate your most important objectives
  7. Enjoy a quality meal in an inspiring and enjoyable setting

The Future of Thought Leadership

I’d like to quickly share one more thing that you get to be a part of when you attend a Thought Leader Think Tank dinner.

New thought leaders come online every day to create a platform and share their message. Over the last fifteen years, the Internet, mobile technology, and numerous new media channels have changed the game, allowing anyone to bring their perspective and story to light.

The world has a great need for more thought leaders like you. With countless problems to solve, communities to help, and dreams to realize, the only way to shine a light on and provide solutions for all of them is with an army of self-made influencers, each bringing their unique awareness, experience, and perspective to serve a specific niche.

We are seeing the creation of the “long tail of influence.” In other words, the collective power of the thought leaders like us and those who are following behind will outweigh the ability of all the big “blockbuster” influencers like celebrities, big companies, large organizations, and top politicians.

This groundswell of new influencers need successful, established leaders like you to demonstrate how to grow their platform, share their message, generate impact, and — of course — make money without compromising the integrity of their message, mission, or ability to effect lasting change.

It’s up to those of us who have been online for a while to help forge a path that is not bogged down by hypnotic hype, shiny new strategies, and one-size-fits-all business models that have become too prevalent in the marketplace.

By being a part of a Thought Leader Think Tank dinner, you not only gain insight into growing your own business, you help all of us set an example that empowers an up-and-coming wave of new thought leaders.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Reserve Your Spot, I’ll Take Care of the Rest

This dinner is limited to only ten to twelve attendees. This will preserve a cohesive group discussion and allow everyone time to share their perspective. Your ticket purchase reserves your spot and covers your three-course prix fixe meal as well as two hours of red and white wines, beer, soda, juice, coffee, and tea.

I don’t make money on these dinners. I’ve priced the tickets to just cover the cost of the private dining room, food, drinks, and gratuity.

Buying your ticket and meal in advance allows us to reserve a private dining room and keeps the logistics simpler for me and you. It ensures everyone who wants to attend has made a commitment to show up and participate. Just come to the dinner ready to meet new friends, take part in an insightful conversation, and enjoy a meal together. Everything will be already taken care of.

Dinner and Discussion Format

Prior to the dinner, I’ll send out a list of everyone who is attending with basic bios and info so you know who you will be connecting with. At the dinner, we’ll do some short, fun introductions to get to know each other a bit better. As we eat, we’ll have a discussion around the planned topic. I’ll have a few questions prepared to get the ball rolling.

I’ll follow up by sending you a summary of key insights, takeaways, and resources that were shared. You’ll also have everyone’s contact information to do any individual follow-up that you want.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
