(If your business is less than 6 figures, or you are looking to start a business, we have the
Business Incubator and Business Accelerator programs that will be a better fit for you.)
Let’s cut the B.S. You don’t need more fluffy “marketing” tips about how to use Facebook. You don’t need tips on growing your Instagram. You don’t need more motivation, goal-setting, or ra ra. (If you’re not already motivated or aren’t clear on your goals, how’d you get to 6, 7, or 8 figures, right?)
What you need is strategy, implementation, and execution advice on your next steps from those who have already been in YOUR battle trenches. We will strategically break down how to scale faster and further, how to fix critical issues specific to your business, how to minimize risk and maximize revenues, increase sales and decrease expenses all while creating a solid foundation for optimization and hyper-growth.
That’s exactly what you’re going to get at Founders’ Business Accelerator LIVE in Scottsdale, Arizona, on October 20-22, 2021.
You’re not going to learn from slick marketers (who have only ever marketed other people’s products). You’re not going to learn affirmations, NLP, vision boards, or any other of that type of stuff.
You can buy followers, you can buy media, you can buy traffic… But you can’t buy experience.
However, you can learn from the experience of others who have already been where you want to go and achieved the level of success you crave, so you can avoid all the costly mistakes they made along the way. We’re going to break down for you what actually works.
The Founder and CEO of FUBU Clothing. Starting with a budget of $40, he eventually grew his business to $350 million in annual sales and over $6 billion in total sales. Daymond has been one of the beloved faces and investors of Shark Tank for 11 seasons. He is New-York-Times bestselling author of four books including Rise and Grind, The Power of Broke, The Brand Within, and Display of Power.
The current governor of Arizona. He is the former CEO of Cold Stone Creamery. Under his business leadership, Cold Stone grew from a single shop in Tempe, AZ, to a national franchise with 1,400 locations before the company was sold.
The Founder & CEO, Spanx. Named by Forbes as “the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world. She was also named by Forbes as one of the 100 most influential women in the world. She was the first female billionaire to join Bill Gates and Warren Buffet’s “Giving Pledge,” committing to giving away half her wealth during her lifetime.
The Founder & CEO of SelectBlinds.com. Rick grew his company from $885,000 in revenue in 2003, its first year in business, to doing over $4 billion in e-commerce sales and have been list on the Inc. 500 Fastest-Growing Companies list. Rick is a 14-time Ironman, and won first place US Male finisher in the 2020 World Marathon Challenge, completing seven marathons on all seven continents in seven consecutive days, a feat complete by less than 200 people in the world.
The Founder and CEO, Founders Organization. She started building businesses at age 19 with no corporate background, no degree, and no money. She was building brick-and-mortar businesses as a teenager and expanded into product creation, e-commerce, retail mall kiosks, and real estate investing. After building multi-million dollar businesses from scratch, and raising millions for her non-profit, she exited her company and now uses her 23 years of real-world entrepreneurial experience to mentor others.
Because you’re already successful (doing six figures of business or more), you get to skip Levels 0-5 (for 0 to 5 figures of business) and go straight to our Advanced Programs.
(No, you won’t have to hang out with “wantrepreneurs” asking newbie questions about how to set up websites or find a product to sell.)
Throughout your learning, you’ll be put into a pod with other business owners at roughly your revenue range, who are in complementary (not competitive) businesses and industries. Your group will be facilitated by one of our master facilitators, so you won’t ever be sitting around wondering what to say/do in your group. Your pod will allow you all to share honestly about your challenges, give you the strategies you need to scale, and hold you all accountable to implement and execute.
Congratulations! You’ve made it past the 6-figure mark. You’re a real business, with real products/ services and real customers.
But you know that reaching this milestone is not just achievement–it’s also a grind. You’re doing all the things in your business, wearing all the hats. Because the growth of your business is one-for-one related to the amount of time and hassle you put into the business, you’re still trading time for money. You still have a job and a tough, gritty job at that–which is exactly the opposite of why you got into the business.
You may have gotten into business to “make money while you sleep”–and that dream has come true: you’re working 20 hours a day, and making money during the 4 hours you sleep! You dreamed of “working from the beach”–but beach vacations are a distant fantasy at this point.
You realize that if don’t create your business into a machine, you’ll just have a 60 or 80 hour per week job for the rest of your life. You know you have to work on your business, not in it–but you don’t even know where to begin. You’re doing all the same things each month and year, but not seeing the growth you
had hoped for.
You don’t have an exact plan on how to get to the next level. If I gave you three hours of extra time and said, “Here, go work on your business, you wouldn’t even know where to begin! Write an email? Write a Facebook post? There’s no plan, no core strategy–you’re just throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. (We’ve all been there)
If this describes you, you’re not alone. This frustration is completely normal for business owners like you in Level 6.
At Level 6, you’ve probably built your business on the fly, changing it as you go. This is normal at your stage–but it’s like building a house on a crappy foundation: eventually, you’re going to have to tear it down and rebuild.
Instead, at Founders’ Business Accelerator, you’ll learn how to build your business right from this early stage, so you’re all set to grow, scale, and leave a legacy.

At this level, you’ve reached the business success that the vast majority of entrepreneurs will never experience in their lifetimes. But you’re still stressed. You know you need to hire more, but the more you hire, the more complexity and headache you’re adding to your business. (As The Notorious B.I.G. said, “Mo Money, Mo Problems.”)
You may realize that your business is ready for a pivot to capture new opportunities–but you have no clue how, and you’re afraid you might destroy all you’ve built in the process.
Or, you may feel you’re trapped in golden handcuffs. You didn’t set up your business properly to scale and exit, so now you’re in a bottleneck in the business and you don’t see a way out.
It’s time to create a workable strategy to scale to 8 figures and help you step out of day-to-day management. That’s exactly what you’re going to get at Founders’ Business Accelerator.
You have your processes in place, you already know how to scale. Now, what you’re looking for is more simplification, time, flexibility, and freedom. You may be interested in going to 9 or 10 figures at this point. Maybe it’s time for a national rollout. If that’s what you’re ready for, our faculty who have already done that know exactly how to get you there.
But just as likely, at this point, you’re looking at how to relate to your business in a way that’s finally going to give you the happiness and fulfillment you’re craving. And more importantly, the meaning.
Social media influencers (who will NOT be at this conference wasting your time with their flashy but superficial BS) have made it look like being an entrepreneur is all fun and games, centered around you and your oh-so-fab lifestyle. But most of these “influencers” have never actually built a business (beyond giving how-to-build-a-business advice!)
As a founder, a REAL entrepreneur, you know that the business isn’t really about you. It’s about building processes and systems that can be replicated and scaled without you. That is what will earn you the huge exit and pay out – or will allow your business to be passed on for generations as a legacy.
At Founders Business Accelerator (F.B.A.) LIVE, you’re going to learn how to remove yourself from your business over time and put scalable processes and systems in place for each of these legs.
This is one of the first and biggest business events since the pandemic. It’s time to come out of our shells and reconnect, creating all the new connections, mentorship, and new business friendships you need to make 2022 the year your business finally breaks through to the next level. (Hello, Level 9 or 10, anyone?)
This is much more than a business conference–it’s a LIVE Accelerator.
You’re tired of the same old thing–the same speakers on the “circuit.” We didn’t book “speakers”—as none of them are “speakers”, they are founders and entrepreneurs.
They’ll be there to answer ALL your questions about how they did what they did, in detailed Q+A. Just hard-hitting, custom-tailored content throughout the weekend.
All for just $1,000. (No, not $997.97. Give me the extra $2.03 and We’ll spare you the bullshit.)
If you register by September 30th for the Early Bird Price (50% off).
Looking back at my 23-year career of building multiple businesses from scratch in multiple industries, I’d give anything to have the opportunity to invest just $1,000 back then to learn all of the action-packed strategies you’re going to learn in this one weekend, straight from the experts.

You couldn’t find a better coach and business consultant.“
Candy is smart, passionate, optimistic, and driven. She thrives on inspiring and motivating women to accomplish their goals and dreams with her support and entrepreneurial spirit. Her vision for success is like no other and her work ethic is unmatched.”

“Candy was the first person to ever tell me that the way my business was operating and how the model was structured, it was never going to scale. Within 2 weeks of working together we restructured everything and mapped out a path to hit 7 figures. By working that strategy consistently, I made more in 6 weeks than I did in the prior 6 months. Without Candy’s expertise I would not have been able to grow and scale my business as quickly as I have. It has truly made all the difference. Thank you Candy!”
