This is an EOSF RISE event, open to prospects and other entrepreneurs interested in scaling their business.
Every entrepreneur can run a company. Far fewer build one that runs like an elite organization: clear on where it's going, aligned from the top down, and carrying real momentum even when the founder steps out of the room. What separates the two is not luck or a bigger market. According to Michael Erath, it comes down to five obsessions, and he has lived every one of them.
Michael scaled his family's business from $8 million to $45 million, with 200 people across six continents, and then lost it all in the wake of the 2008 recession. He rebuilt from nothing, took a new venture to the Inc. 5000 within five years, and has since become a four-time Inc. 5000 CEO. Today he guides other entrepreneurs up that same climb as founder of Next Level Growth, and he does it as a fellow EO member who has sat where we sit.
In this evening talk, drawn from his new book, Michael unpacks the five obsessions at the heart of elite organizations: great people, inspiring purpose, optimized playbooks, a culture of performance, and growing profit and cash flow. This is not one more rigid system to bolt onto your business. It is a principled, battle-tested way to see what actually drives clarity, alignment, and unstoppable momentum, with practical tools you can put to work the very next morning.
We are hosting it at The Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio. Come on your own, or bring your SLP, entrepreneur friends, prospects, and your forum; this is the kind of evening that is better shared and easier to act on when you have heard it together.
This event is open to prospects and other entrepreneurs interested in scaling their business.
You will leave with:
- The five obsessions that separate elite organizations from everyone else
- An honest read on where your own company is already elite and where it is not
- Practical tools and language you can put to work with your team right away
- An evening well spent among entrepreneurs building at the same level you are
