Grow beyond your personal limits. Make breakthroughs as you redefine and realise your goals in life and in business.
You’ve already made a mark, but you’re seeking more: A bigger impact. A trusted peer group. A stronger foundation. New wisdom. Inspiration.
We help transform the lives of the entrepreneurs who transform the world.
The choices you have as a member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organisation (EO) are not set along a specific path, but rather a wide-open playing field for you to expand your interests and learn from others who challenge your perspective, and encourage your personal and professional growth.
Benefits / Forum
A member-led, confidential, peer-sharing program. A unique communication model that provides unparalleled access to the wisdom of peers during confidential monthly meetings. Forum is designed for members to tap into a group of 7-10 fellow business owners that can offer direction based on experience. Held monthly, Forum meetings allow members to dig deep, personally and professionally, in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Looking to draw from the expertise that only another entrepreneur would have? Forum offers a format where the complex intersections between your business, personal life and community engagement can all be addressed head-on, so that you can achieve fulfilment in all of your endeavours.
