Thought Leaders Business School is proving itself to be one of the most effective business development programs in the world. One of the prerequisites for entry is that you’re already running a practice at white belt — invoicing $10,000 per month as a thought leader.

You might be in a situation where you know that you’ve got your eyes on black belt and that soon Business School will be right for you, but you haven’t reached the white belt revenues required to join the school yet. There are plenty of reasons you could be in this situation, for example:
- you’ve never had any sales training
- you’re still finding your market niche
- you’re still developing your IP
- you’re just launching your practice
If this sounds like you, then the Thought Leaders Preparatory Program might be a good fit for you. Headed up by Linda Hutchings, the prep program is designed to help you put in place everything you need to create a thought leaders practice with a solid foundation. The intent is to help you grow your practice to white belt — consistently invoicing $10,000 per month or more.
