Dear Business Owner,
If you are contemplating an MBA or realize your company is stuck and it is time to do something responsibly different, you may be a good candidate for the BETA Paladin Principals MBA* class. Starting on June 17, 2008 with graduation on September 12th.

FULL! Applications will be accepted again as of August 15, 2008.

Does this Sound Good to You?
Recession, downturn, whatever! NOW is the best time to grow your business. Learn why and exactly HOW. What you absolutely MUST do to thrive in this economy.

500% return on your investment in 87 days or your money back. Real sales, real customers.

Having a Mentor show you specifically HOW to implement the business-building advice, not just telling you WHAT to do and leaving you to figure it out on your own . . .

Independent Investors answer your questions about IF, when and how to raise Equity capital; how to create an investor-friendly environment and ultimately how to position your company for sale at maximum price when you decide you want to sip umbrella drinks with your toes in the crystal blue waters somewhere warm.

Attorneys answer the non-obvious questions about entity formation, questions about choosing counsel - how to get the best advice you can afford, how to negotiate a lower fee with your attorney.

Accountants who point you to the resources for tax laws that apply to your situation and the specific questions you must ask to find local help for the broad range of record keeping and form filing you specifically need.
 

What you get:
14 weeks total of instruction in 2 hour coaching calls on Tuesday evenings
One-on-One coaching and feedback
Unlimited forum interaction with instructors and fellow participants
3 week Master Project graded by industry experts and potential investors
One-on-one constructive feedback from the Industry Experts grading your project
Access to a stellar Board of Directors
Exclusive interviews with some of the absolute BEST practitioner-instructors in each subject
Additional Interviews with the most relevant practitioner-partners: Attorneys, Accountants, Advertising specialists, Bankers, Independent Investors

If you are looking for Venture Funding or an infusion of Private Equity dollars, this opportunity cannot be missed. The investor panel members are active private investors looking to place anywhere from $.5M/deal to $50M/deal.

Not interested in raising capital?

This course is even better for you. We push you to build a strong, healthy, solid, GROWING business, even if you barely have two nickels to rub together today. By the end of the program you will have a flourishing business if you put the lessons into practice. Dream big and let's get to work!

***CAUTION: This course is not to show you how to write a business plan! We strongly recommend that you produce a Business Map in 1-2 pages and get to work. A business  map is simple, but not easy and requires you to verify your market externally before making any further investment. We will show you how to develop your business map and how to put it to work immediately.

"The most daring business-building experiment ever conducted!"

Outline:
How to think about business: paradigm shift, big business versus small business, skills versus knowledge, what you do now.

Capstone Project: you will incorporate all the skills in an ultimate project to be graded by the instructor, non-competing expert practitioners within your industry and, if you choose, an investor panel.

If you are just starting a business, this is brilliant. You will have a broad overview of how to structure your enterprise for the best long term results, and you will have significant sales before the class has ended.

If you are in business and have hit a plateau, this is the information and serious prodding you need to kick start your growth engine. Before you hire an expensive consultant, consider getting a better understanding and taking some time to work ON your business instead of in the day-to-day detail of your business. Most consultants echo the thoughts already in your head. Be self-reliant and maximize the value of any consultants you do ultimately hire.

Your Instructor: MBA from UNC - Chapel Hill, previously responsible for $450M annual P&L, runs consulting and coaching shop out of Dallas with clients across the English speaking part of the globe. Has started, run or turned around over a dozen businesses since 2005.

P.S. If you are looking for a program that will make you rich in 10 days while sleeping on your sofa, this is not it. Your application will be discarded.
