The Functional-MBA – The Business Education You Need

This is the easiest and most affordable way to invest in and grow yourself and your business.

Why reinvent the wheel? In The Functional-MBA, you will learn Best Practices from thought leaders and researchers, like Harvard Business, John Spence, Verne Harnish, Stephen Lynch, and more. You will also be invited to join an exclusive group of people who are investing in their businesses’ growth and evolution.

Learn The 12 Focus Forward Pillars – an online business education Bootcamp with 12 exclusive monthly modules designed to help you establish and follow the “right” rules for your business. Trainings include online lessons with quizzes, videos, monthly module workbooks, and templates for you to use and adapt to make it easy to apply the lessons and processes to your business.

A few of the 12 Focus Forward Pillars:
  • You need (and want) a Playbook! – We start you on the journey to organize and prioritize the processes that will free up more of your time and lead to consistency in your business.
  • Your Vision of Meaning – You will go deep in thought and action to develop your three-part Vision of Meaning to inspire your team, your customers, and yourself. You will implement and use your Vision of Meaning in your strategic planning, management, guidance, decision making, recruiting, hiring, and marketing, to name a few. Your Vision of Meaning will come alive in your business and help drive you to success.
  • Your Profit-First Budget – You will learn and prepare a simple, straight-forward budget with three buckets starting with your desired profit. You will be able to set targets to determine the health of your business and what areas need attention. You will also learn and apply the adage that there are no expenses in business, only investments! And you will ensure that everything you spend in your business gets you a return.

You will also get access to:

  • Exclusive Membership in The Functional-MBA Members-Only Group where you will join and become a part of a community of motivated owners in an exclusive online forum.
  • Monthly group video conference call for Functional-MBA Members Only where members share challenges, victories, and new ideas to help each other’s businesses.
  • Workshops and Training from Thought Leaders and Experts exclusive to Functional-MBA Members Only.
  • 24 hour Access to all Trainings, workbooks, and Workshop Recordings

The Delphi Network

Our Wisdom Sharing Community

The Delphi Network is made up of 3 components:
Best Practices, Implementation, and Community.

Best Practices

Most business owners are great at what they do, at least the technical part of what they do. But while they are really good at their core strength, where do owners get training to run and grow an actual business? In school?

If you scoffed at that, school teaching you the critical skills necessary to run and grow an actual business, then you know that Strategy and Management skills are things most business owners do not bring to their first business. These are things you have had to learn through the school of hard knocks, or piece together from multiple conferences, books, masterminds, and more. And there is always more to learn.

But many of these lessons have already been learned and shared by other business owners, researchers, and business teachers. In this wisdom sharing community, you will learn Managerial and Strategic Best Practices that already exist to help you succeed in your business. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from the great examples of those who have come before you?

These Best Practices are delivered in a straight-forward, digestible, and implementable format, piece by piece with the prioritization and sequencing done for you. No more “which of these 87 ideas should I work on first?”. No more chasing your tail and every new, shiny object. You will know what to focus on and what to do next.

Implementation

This is where the rubber meets the road!

Remember this, if reading the book was enough, everybody would be a champion.

But reading the book isn’t enough! Implementation is key! Knowing a thing is not enough. Doing a thing is your goal.

And Best Practices are not all plug and play. They need to be adapted to your business and your context. And your people need to adopt these Best Practices, processes, and systems that are key to your business’s success. You will need to customize and manage the adoption of these Best Practices in your business to make sure they gain traction and become your new normal.

This component, including learning from the wisdom of the community, is where it all comes together. It is the doing, the implementation, that gets you the results you want.

Community

Support, Sharing, and Learning from each other – Belonging to a group of like-minded owners with vast and varied experiences will help you see things in a new light and from perspectives that you may not have previously considered. Business owners can feel isolated, as if you are the only one experiencing and dealing with the trials and challenges you face each day. As a coach and advisor I get to see “behind the curtain” in a variety of businesses every day, and I am extremely confident telling you that you are not alone! You face the same challenges other business owners face. But if you do not have a great network to share and learn, you may feel like you are alone in facing these challenges, frustrations, and even the successes that being in business brings every day. Learn, share, and glean wisdom, while building friendships with people who get you.

This is the program to get stuff done and make real progress in your business.

These 3 components underpin our Wisdom Sharing Community to help you Focus Forward on the future and rapidly grow your business and leadership skills.

Why Delphi?

Delphi is the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as the seat of Pythia, the Oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world.
