3 Issues Facing Firms Owners as they Grow Their Firms

Like any other company owner, firm owners face growth issues too. But many firm owners don’t view their firms as businesses to be grown and managed. Thriveal wants to teach firm owners to look at their firms like entrepreneurial businesses. For any entrepreneurial company, there needs to be a leader leading the firm through the vision. Deeper Weekend is a place where entrepreneurial firm owners can be together, discuss their paths of growth, and challenge each other with their own personal learnings on their entrepreneurial journey.

3 Ways to Approach Work Like an Artist to Increase Customer Value & Employee Engagement

Who is Deeper Weekend NOT for?

It’s true, we are not for everyone. Unlike most accounting firm conferences, we are not for everyone. In fact, this is what makes Thriveal’s Deeper Weekend a special experience. If you are right for this event, then you will automatically be with other attendees that are also right. And that creates magic like you’ve probably never experienced. It’s all intentional and part of the plan. The food, the venues, the speakers, the topics, and everything else are all part of an intentional plan to create a deeper movement in the the firm owner. So let me try to explain who should not be there in October.

A Review of the Book, Traction

As many past attendees of the Deeper Weekend conference know, our event goes deep into one topic. This year we will be talking about the mechanics and strategies of scaling and growing a service based company. We’ll be doing this by leveraging the book Traction through our journey. The book Traction is a detailed explanation of the Entrepreneurial Operating System, developed by Gino Wickman. It is a system and rhythm that gives an entrepreneur something to hold on to as they build their company (typically to a larger size).
