    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    WHAT DOES CEO FOCUS DO?

    CEO Focus is a national organization comprised of local peer groups of company presidents and CEOs. In our group meetings, we work on business issues confronting our members. Groups meet once per month and consist of 8-14 members from various industries and backgrounds. Although the benefits of group membership can be difficult to quantify, many members find benefits in:

    • Increased accountability
    • Business owners with similar backgrounds to bounce ideas off
    • A strong support network
    • Access to professionals with complementary strengths
    • Improved delegation skills
    • Higher quality of living
    • Increased profitability
    • Improved level of business expertise

     

    WHAT DOES A CEO FOCUS LEADER DO?

    Our program has two main components. The first is the one-to-one meetings. Each month the facilitator goes to the client’s business for a coaching/consulting session. These sessions have a coaching flavor rather than a “program.” CEO Focus uses a variety of coaching tools when working individually with clients. However, the most important tool is your business acumen. Your skill as a business person is just as important as the coaching tools we provide.

    The second component is the group meeting. Once a month, the entire group convenes to discuss issues, best practices and conduct an “informal board meeting” in a structured format. Your job is to help each CEO get the most out of themselves and their business through our process. You will be facilitating the group meetings and working with the clients individually at their one-to-ones.

     

    HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND? We have been leading CEO groups since 2001 and involved in CEO peer groups since 1994. The industry has been around since 1957. There are CEO peer groups worldwide. This is a concept that works anywhere.

     

    WHAT DO CLIENTS SAY ABOUT CEO FOCUS? Sometimes a CEO may be reluctant to join; however, once they join, they STAY! Our average member stays 3-4 years. Once CEOs are involved in the process, they love it. Here are some of their comments:

    "Ignorance is NOT bliss. We never knew how much we needed a group like this until we joined! The group and individual sessions add an extra dimension in our quest for balance in our professional and personal lives.”

    "After joining the group, I realized there was life outside work."

    "Membership inhibits my ability to procrastinate. The facilitator and the group hold me accountable."

    "CEO Focus is an excellent medium for sharing ideas and experiences associated with running ones' own business."

    "The Group has helped develop my skills as a CEO and develop a broader picture of issues outside of my industry. The friendships that are also gained are even more valuable."

     

    WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN REGARD TO INCOME? There are quite a few variables: how well you market, how hard you work, and how well you do the coaching. Another variable is how you want to work with CEO Focus. We offer several ways to work with us, so your pay may vary. Our most common employment option pays you over 50% of the total revenue. We are growing and need qualified coaches in several markets. The bottom line is: members pay $595-$795/month. A group of 14 members takes one week a month to run. You do the math.

     

    WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN REGARDS TO MY LIFESTYLE?

    The workload will definitely be heavy at the outset. However, this is never a 16-hour-a-day job. Ten hours is a very full day in our world. Once you get your groups going, an 8-hour day is the norm. Our model not only allows for frequent vacations, it allows for guilt-free ones. You can schedule vacations, so the clients will never know you are gone.

     

    IS THERE TRAVEL INVOLVED?

    Yes and no. We operate in metro areas. Clients are almost always located within fifty miles of downtown. By grouping client meetings by geography, there is minimal driving. You will sleep in your own bed every night.

     

    I’LL BET THERE IS A TON OF COLD CALLING OR SOME NASTY SALES ACTIVITY

    There is NO cold calling. However, you will be required to perform marketing activities to acquire group members/coaching clients. We use an educational content marketing system, which we will show you to use to fill the room with prospects.

     

    WHAT DRIVES CLIENTS TO THE SEMINARS?

    Some of our secret weapons are Business Models for Dummies & The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them by Jim Muehlhausen, the Founder and President of CEO Focus. The 51 Fatal Business Errors book provides an intriguing seminar as well as quality content for attendees.
