Small Acquisitions as a Growth Strategy
2026-03-04 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83386035902
We tend to think of M&A in terms of selling our firms, but there is plenty of opportunity to grow via acquisition as well. The benefits are numerous, and it might not cost as much as you think to bring a small firm into the fold. We’ll talk through the ins and outs of this under-utilized strategy and answer any questions you might have.

Write The Damn Book Already
2026-04-07 18:30 - 2026-04-08 16:30 | Monday Night Grove, 1500 Northside Drive, Atlanta, GA, 30318, United States
I hesitate to use the word “seminar” for this, because it’s not going to be a bunch of lectures, but more of a hands on workshop where I’ll work through:

When and why to write a book.
Developing the concept.
Rounding out the research.
How to write it.
Three options for getting it published.
Technicalities: copyright, cover, design, illustrations, trim size, editing, proofreading, etc.
Print and Kindle and Audible considerations.
What promotion avenues work (and what don’t).
Cost and revenue expectations.
Making sure it impacts your firm and your personal career.

But it’ll be a small group (capped at 20, but probably 12 there), and each of us will help shape every person’s concept, we’ll start a small group to stay in touch, and will move this forward.
Many of you have a book in you, and there’s nothing quite like spending deep time with a subject to learn more than you could ever dream. It’ll change you, first; forget about the rest of it, because that’s all gravy.
Atlanta, 6:30p dinner on Tuesday night, April 7, and then 8:30a-4:00p on Wednesday, April 8. Previous authors welcome.
