Business Growth Forum 

Join the Business Growth Forum and walk away each month with new ideas, better answers, and clearer priorities for growing your business.

 

Growth Should Never Happen by Accident

The Business Growth Forum was built for serious business owners who want more than networking, motivational talks, or a mastermind that meets once a month and then disappears until the next meeting.

Yes, we meet live each month. But the Business Growth Forum doesn't end when the meeting ends.

Members are also part of a private online community where they can post business questions, discuss challenges, exchange ideas with other business owners, and receive my guidance between our monthly meetings.

Because business problems don't wait for your next scheduled meeting.

I've spent more than 30 years building businesses and facing the real challenges that come with entrepreneurship. I've built companies from zero to eight figures, survived setbacks that could have ended them, and learned what it takes to keep moving forward.

I built it. I survived it. Now I teach other business owners how to do it.

The Forum is where I bring that experience together with an ongoing community of business owners who are serious about building stronger, more valuable companies.

Watch the short video above to see why the Business Growth Forum is much more than a monthly mastermind.

AS SEEN IN:

This Forum is Built for Business Owners Who . . . 

• Feel stuck despite working hard
• Want to scale beyond survival mode
• Are frustrated with ineffective marketing
• Need outside strategic perspective
• Want honest conversations instead of generic business advice
• Value practical guidance grounded in real-world experience
• Want a confidential environment to discuss real business challenges, ideas, and opportunities

How the Business Growth Forum Works 

• Identify the business goals, challenges, or growth opportunities you want to focus on

• Participate in monthly live online strategy and discussion sessions with fellow business owners

• Bring real business problems, ideas, and decisions into confidential group discussions for practical feedback and perspective

• Gain direct access to Darlene M. Ziebell during live Q&A and strategy conversations

• Learn from monthly discussions focused on growth, marketing, leadership, operations, sales, and scaling

• Choose additional private strategy sessions with Darlene for deeper guidance and support as needed

The Forum is designed to help business owners stay focused, think more strategically, and continue moving toward meaningful business and revenue goals.

This Forum May Not Be Right For You If…

• You are only looking for networking opportunities
• You want shortcuts or “easy marketing” solutions
• You are unwilling to evaluate your current strategy honestly
• You are not open to practical feedback and business discussion
• You are looking for life coaching, motivational sessions, or personal development programs rather than real-world business consulting and strategic guidance
• You are not prepared to actively work toward meaningful business goals and measurable results

What Members Gain 

The Business Growth Forum is a confidential, strategy-focused environment designed for business owners who want practical guidance, experienced perspective, and honest business discussions focused on real growth challenges.

Members are encouraged to bring real business issues into the conversation including sales challenges, marketing frustrations, operational bottlenecks, leadership concerns, growth opportunities, and strategic decisions. The focus is not motivational theory. The focus is helping business owners make stronger decisions and move closer toward meaningful business and revenue goals.

What Business Owners Are Saying

Business owners join the Business Growth Forum for many different reasons including growth challenges, stagnant sales, strategic planning, operational concerns, and scaling issues. Here are a few comments from entrepreneurs who have participated in Darlene’s programs, workshops, and business discussions.

Hayward Harris, Jr. 

CEO & Founder, The Rib Doctor

I hired Darlene to help me develop and implement marketing strategies. She has worked tirelessly to help separate me from my competitors in a competitive marketplace and encouraged me to cover every detail. The greatest compliment I can give anyone is trust, Darlene has indeed earned my trust!

Mark Seven

CEO, Get Away With Murder, Inc. 

Darlene has a remarkable instinct for business strategy of not only knowing WHAT improvements to make, but WHEN and HOW to implement them. In the 20+ years I’ve known her, she has always provided us with useful management advice including accounting methodology, personnel and legal issues, contemporary marketing foresight, even spot-on location suggestions. Darlene is a true professional, honest and straight forward, whose insights have guided us through nearly 25 years of success as a growing national entertainment company.

Rosanna Marquez

Board Chair, AARP Foundation

Board President, Impact for Equity

Ms. Ziebell was the incoming Chair of the Board of the Eleanor Foundation when I joined it as President/CEO. The organization was in the midst of a fairly radical restructuring that included a wholesale change in strategic direction and the turnover of the Board of Directors needed to effect the change. Ms. Ziebell's directness, leadership, strategic focus, and practical smarts were instrumental to the success of this transformation, which was realized far more quickly than I'd have though possible. Further, Ms. Ziebell also is one of the most entrepreneurial people I have ever met.
