The CEO and Entrepreneur Boot Camp: The Art & Science of Business Design - executive training seminar.
Senior Executive Management Training
Seminar
Learn A
Comprehensive System to Grow Any
Company Into a $100 Million Business From Someone Who Has
Done it Twice
This Executive Management Seminar is a Comprehensive
and Practical Executive Training Program in Entrepreneurship.
You Will Learn An Integrated System For Starting and Running High Growth Businesses Developed Over the
Last 15 years By A Successful CEO and Serial Entrepreneur.
Bob Norton, the developer of this
executive seminar program, and
author of four books on entrepreneurship, has grown two businesses
from
$0 to over $100 million in sales and also generated over $1
Billion in shareholder value. This comprehensive senior
management training is available nowhere
else.
This strategic level executive management training and entrepreneurship
boot camp will turn entrepreneurs into more successful CEOs
and raise the performance and success levels of any CEO, or
senior executive, to a world-class level. Over a dozen systems
will be taught at this intensive management training seminar, crossing
all the major business disciplines including sales, marketing,
finance, operations and product development. Systems and tools are also
taught for strategy, hiring, management, employee development,
risk management and corporate vision development.
These entrepreneurship systems are the "best of
the best" distilled down from 23 years experience and over
1,000 business books and integrated into a system and
philosophy that can grow any business into a $100 million
entity more quickly and
smoothly...
You will easily get an ROI of at least 100
times your investment!

From the desk of Bob Norton
Imagine if a very successful
serial entrepreneur, who had grown two companies to over $100
million in sales, condensed everything he had learned into an
integrated system and packaged it into a single seminar. How much faster could you reach your goals?
How much money and pain could you save? And how much bigger
and stronger might your company become?
Well I
have now worked for over two years to painstakingly
document the most important business models, systems, ideas and
lessons I have learned and developed during the last 23 years.
I have collected the best ideas and
systems from over 1,000 top business books I have read over
the last 15 years while
I was
a CEO?
Imagine the impact such
knowledge could have on your business and your career. The Art and Science of Business DesignTM
Boot Camp
incorporates everything I wish I had known when I founded
my first business in 1989.
During my career, I have been
intricately involved in entrepreneurship and the success of
two multi-billion dollar corporations and eight startups, and
I've learned lots of hard lessons along the way, too.
At one point, I was creating and
launching a new product and business each year and achieving
eleven times the industry average productivity in product
development.
The Fatal
Flaw of Most CEO Career Paths:
We all start our career in a
single specialty. We might develop into experts in two areas, but
when you take on the role of CEO or founder you need to be
very good at all the required disciplines, or at least know
how to select and manage people that are. You need
to know how to design, plan and manage each of the enterprises
key disciplines: Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations and
Product Development.
You must know how these
disciplines interact and
compete - how to balance priorities. You need to know how to recruit, hire, motivate and
manage the best people in each discipline. You must also know
how to get people and departments to work together, so that
everybody is on the same page strategically.
Why Most Seminars and Books Don't
Work For This Challenge:
When I
first became a CEO, I began reading four, five and even six business
books a month. I subscribed to books on tape. I attended
management trainings, executive trainings and seminars of all
kinds – to say nothing of workshops, boot camps and other
executive forums. However, I never found a good
entrepreneurship training program of any kind.
And then I began to notice
something. All these trainers and authors were experts
in only a single discipline. They could never tie everything
together in a framework that would promote success and growth
across the entire organization.
In any real-world
business, all these disciplines are tightly interconnected.
Yet very few people have had the broad scope of
responsibilities to understand them all and integrate them
effectively, never mind high-growth experience in all size
businesses, from startup to to multi-billion operations. This
can only be gained after many years experience as an operating
CEO!
With that unique perspective I
knew I had to create a new kind of CEO and Entrepreneurship
Boot Camp– The Art and Science of Business Design. The
framework we have designed draws on everything I have learned
over the course of my 23-year career as a VP, CTO and
CEO. You will learn a comprehensive
system for designing, developing, improving and running
businesses, spanning the high level of all the major business
disciplines.
Even though I already had
many years of business experience in senior management roles,
nothing ever fully prepares you for stepping into the role of
CEO. If you are a CEO, GM or COO, or are close to launching a
company of your own, you really can't afford to miss this
unique event.
Attending this seminar will allow you to save, or make, at
least an extra $100,000 for your company in the following
year. Enrollment is currently limited to 40 people per
event, so I urge you to register
now. You will get hundreds of new ideas and any one could pay
back 10X your investment of time and money!
"It's a great course - very
comprehensive. I think it can really help people look at their
business in a new way. I can tell you it gave me new vision. Bob
teaches practical lessons people can actually apply."
This senior management
training seminar is designed for CEOs, senior executives and
entrepreneurs who wish to broaden their experience and skills in
business by learning a practical framework, with superior methods
and approaches to designing and running businesses for high growth
and profit. This could be called just a "CEO Boot Camp," but the ones we have seen
are so much less, because they are mainly anecdotal, not a complete
blueprints for success.
New
CEOs and Entrepreneurs
CEOs and founders with less
than 10 years running growth companies
Any CEO that has not grown a company from $0 to $30
million in revenue
Chief Operating Officers
General Managers
Aspiring entrepreneurs
Senior managers who recognize
that they
don't know everything and can benefit by leveraging the
experience of others to improve their career and business
scope
This is an advanced seminar so
a minimum of three years of management experience is required
to attend.
The Art and Science of
Business DesignTM is
strategic and high level, so you will learn to design departments,
and to set up and manage these business functions successfully. This
is the 25,000 foot strategy view for running your business. This
seminar will allow
you to architect and improve your business model and performance
immediately.
You
will learn to use 12 different entrepreneurial business design
tools that will improve any business, and many
shortcuts that will save you hundreds of thousands of
dollars. This is not just a list of
things you need to learn or do, but a series of proven models,
methods and systems compiled from decades of experience, plus the
best ideas from over 1,000 top business books.
This executive level
management seminar is an investment in your abilities and skills
that will last a lifetime and can literally generate millions in
extra profits for you and/or your company. If you are a CEO, or want to be a CEO, or a General
Manager, of a growth business, or if you are thinking of
launching a company, this will be the best investment you
will ever make.
You will learn practical "How To" techniques that
will build any business faster and more profitably. This
executive management training seminar will also help you design,
launch and improve any new products or businesses by broadening your
executive skills and becoming more fluent in the business areas you
are not expert in today.
"I thought this seminar was appropriate
for any senior level executive to get on the same page
strategically with their team and boost their business. I feel
I greatly underpaid for the value delivered."

Optimizing your business model for minimum risk and capital

how to figure out which you have and which you don't.
Raising capital in any market from the best
sources (angels, VCs, banks, alternative sources)
Developing a marketing, communications and messaging plan
and department that is accountable to a return on
investment
Designing and positioning your brand with a
step-by-step system to develop your brand, brand personality and
USP that will make your growth faster
Developing and validating your vision better and developing
a business plan

objectives
The list of 11 things you should never
do as a CEO
that most CEOs do not know
The strategies you can use to grow
YOUR business to
over $100 million in revenue
How to shift management gears 5 times as your
company goes from $0 to $100 million
How to improve your corporate culture
How to break through invisible growth barriers
that are most often about YOU changing the way you operate and
manage
And too much more to list here . . .
Each hour is so packed with valuable, practical content you will
be amazed!
Most people
will NEVER
figure all these models and systems out for themselves –EVER– even with
10 years in a rapid growth CEO position. This system
contains the combined wisdom of some of the top thought leaders
in business over the last two decades. What I have done is
combine and integrate these ideas into a framework that can work
in any size business.
"In building First
Call Corporation, Bob Norton, was my secret weapon in getting
a really audacious job done not only on time and under budget,
but done so well that it revolutionized how equity sales was
done on Wall Street. His abilities to understand complex
requirements, to synthesize elegant solutions, and then to
manage a team to get it done, are still the best I've ever
seen."
– Jim Rutt, ex-CEO Network Solutions, The Internet
Registration Company, Thomson Technology and other companies

Camp
Executives in established businesses will learn to inject intrapreneurial spirit into their
organizations and improve results. All
sessions are taught by experts who have "done it before."
Robert Norton, founder of C-Level Enterprises, will teach most
sessions in their entirety with several
other expert guest speakers.
Mr. Norton is a serial entrepreneur who has launched over 30
products and eight different businesses successfully, as well as learned how
to avoid many business missteps through a systematic business design
approach he developed over the last 15 years.
Past Attendee Testimonial:
"The boot camp gave me all the information I needed to fill
in the blanks as I develop my new company. Even though I
sold a large Inc. 500 company before, this gave me the
models I needed to just drop things into place and greatly
improve and speed up my business development process."
– Susan Chandler-Duquette, CEO DEI Business Consulting
The wisdom of
1,000 business books:
All this is distilled down to the best ideas that work
together in an integrated system. This
is a highly pragmatic "How To" course that will give you a framework
and all the tools you need to start and run a business. This is not
just a seminar consisting of many industry luminaries, panels and
CEOs waxing poetic on their past successes, or spinning entertaining
anecdotes.
These are valuable and fun too, but they do not
present a unified and integrated framework for starting and running
a business. This structured framework can be used to evaluate,
design, improve and launch businesses in any
industry. Typically these lessons are not taught, but learned
through long, hard and expensive experience.
Bob is one of those
rare people who can rub two sticks together and create a
company.
– Senior Partner, Charles River Ventures

One attendee on 4/21/05 said:
"I would have
avoided a huge mistake several years ago if I had used Bob's
system when I hired a CFO who cost my company over $40 million,
and we would have saved another $10 million several years before
that mistake."
You can either
learn from
someone who has done it already, or you can try to reinvent the
wheel over many years.
Don't miss this boot camp, as that mistake will definitely cost
you millions in extra sales, company equity value and mistakes
over the coming years!"
Several experts have told us we should be
charging "at least $5,000" for this event, and one even said
$25,000 because of the huge value provided and the leverage of
using this information. We want to make it more affordable than that, so anyone who is
serious can afford to attend. We want to impact thousands of
companies over the next few years, helping to create jobs and
new companies.
So what will this event cost you? A seminar guaranteed to be the
most valuable seminar you ever attend and to change your entire
business for the better within just 90 days? What could
you possibly buy for only $2,195 that would have such an impact.
That works out to about $6 per day for the first year you use
these systems alone - and you will be using them for the rest of
your career.
So ultimately your investment is just pennies per day when you
look at using these systems in your business for the next 10, 15
or 20 years. Every graduate has said they got their
money's worth and far more - you will too. This event is
guaranteed 100% or your money back. How can you afford NOT to
attend this event?
I hope to see you
there!
P.S. If you are still on the
fence, feel free to call me at my direct line: (508) 625-2130
to discuss what you can learn by attending, or what we can do

After only the first complete day of the seminar one attendee
stood in front of the entire group and said: "If I had know these
things two years ago I would be worth millions more today." –
CEO of a high-tech Canadian company who does not want his
competitors to see his name here and attend this program (now he
is in Bob's weekly coaching program)
So you could spend the next five or ten years
learning these lessons yourself, and repeating the many mistakes I
and others have made over and over again. You could spend $50,000 or
more and two years on an MBA program -- Or you can cut out all
the fluff and invest two intensive days and a couple thousand
dollars to avoid these hard lessons and take advantage of the most
practical entrepreneurship and CEO training available. I

company. Entrepreneurs must be decisive, recognize
