You’re Not Crazy.
Scaling A software company Is Hard.

What other founders are saying
“Key to our success was Purpose, Values and Mission and consistently aligning our team to that. We learned how to do this work from Elite Entrepreneurs, and I still reference many of the tools and examples we received as part of that training.”
Over the past 14 years I’ve seen what Elite has done to take gritty, scrappy entrepreneurs and turn them into capable, company-building CEOs. The growth in those founders and in their companies has been transformational. As I see it, other operating and scaling methods or service providers (like EOS, Entreleadership, and Scaling Up) all have merit. But, in my opinion, no one is better than Elite Entrepreneurs when it comes to creating Purpose-built, Values-based, Mission-driven companies with happy, engaged team members who are all pulling together towards a common goal. For 7- and early 8-figure PHX software founders, Elite is the right choice if you want to build a great company.
