Close the year right.
Start the next one stronger.
Most business owners hit January with ambition but no actual plan. GrowthX changes that. A focused 2-day intensive at year's end — to close out what happened, lock in what's next, and build the roadmap and budget that turns your goals into a plan.
January 1st arrives whether you're ready or not.
Most owners spend December coasting on momentum from the year that was — and then spend January trying to figure out what the year ahead is going to look like. That gap is expensive.
GrowthX puts you on the other side of that equation. You'll enter January with a complete roadmap, a budget that reflects your actual goals, and a clear set of priorities so you're not just busy — you're building something specific.

What's Included
Two days. One complete plan.
A Complete Annual Roadmap
You'll build a fully actionable plan for the year ahead — with clear targets, priorities, and the strategic decisions made so you can execute with confidence from day one.
A Budget & Financial Forecast
Stop guessing what your year will look like financially. GrowthX walks you through building a real budget and revenue forecast — so your numbers become intentional, not accidental.
Education + Strategic Planning
Two days isn't just planning — it's education. You'll leave with new frameworks and sharper thinking on strategy, execution, and what actually drives sustainable growth.
A Clean Start to the New Year
Most owners enter January still carrying the weight of the year they just had. GrowthX closes out the old year properly and sets you up to start the new one with full clarity and momentum.

Investment
$697 per ticket
Two days to build a complete annual roadmap and budget for your business. One of the highest-ROI investments you'll make all year. For context, a single day of 1-on-1 coaching costs more than this two-day build.

Questions
When and where does GrowthX take place?
December 3–4, 2026. Day 1 (Thursday) is fully virtual — join from anywhere. Day 2 (Friday) is in person at SouthStar Bank, 10737 East Crystal Falls Parkway, Leander, TX. Both days run approximately 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
How do the two days work?
Day 1 is virtual learning: two breakout sessions (you pick one topic in each) plus an AI-marketing keynote. Day 2 is the in-person build — you turn everything from Day 1 into your finished 2027 roadmap, budget, and quarterly plan with your coaches in the room.
Is this different from GrowthCLUB?
Yes. GrowthCLUB is a quarterly 90-day planning event. GrowthX is a 2-day annual event focused on closing out your current year and building a complete roadmap and budget for the year ahead. They complement each other well — many attendees do both.
Do I need to have attended GrowthCLUB first?
No. GrowthX is open to any business owner. That said, if you've been doing quarterly planning through GrowthCLUB, you'll find the annual planning process even more powerful.
Can I attend just one day, or virtually only?
GrowthX is built as one complete two-day experience — the Day 1 virtual sessions set up the work you finish in person on Day 2, so the days are designed to be done together. Your $697 ticket covers both days. There's no single-day or virtual-only ticket; Day 2 is in person at SouthStar Bank in Leander, where you build your finished 2027 plan with your coaches in the room.
What should I bring?
Bring your current-year financials (revenue, expenses, profit), your team structure, and a rough sense of where you want to take the business next year. We'll provide everything else — and lunch is catered in on Day 2.
What's your refund and transfer policy?
You can request a full refund up to one week before the event. If something comes up closer to the date, reach out — after a quick conversation we're glad to transfer your ticket to the following year's GrowthX.
