I’ve been working on two new presentation formats, and can’t wait to introduce them.

If you are attending any of these events, please come over and say hello afterwards.  I always try to make time for a few questions after each event.  And if we miss one another, you can always email me.  I make a point to post questions and my answers to them here at the blog.

I really am enjoying the great ideas you all are sharing on this blog.  We are all learning from one another.

To reward and encourage your commenting, I will be giving away a copy of my book,  The 5 Catalysts of 7 Figure Growth, to the reader who makes the most comments here during October.   (Naturally, spam comments will not be counted.)

All you need to do is keep commenting.  Early in Novemeber, I will add up the comments and will email the person who leaves the most comments to get your mailing list.

So keep those comments coming and earn a book.

I am excited to launch Birol’s Blog.  It will be a platform to help continue discussions with you after you may have heard me speak, or read or watched me online or in the media or were referred to me by a mutual friend, colleague or client.

For those of you finding me for the first time through the Web, let me introduce myself. 

I am the owner of Birol Growth Consulting.  BGC is a consulting and publishing business that helps owners “Get There®” by growing their “Best and Highest Use®.”   You can find out a lot more about my background here.  

 Here are a few fun things I thought you’d like to know about me:

• I love to travel and pride myself on having been to 46 states, over 60 countries and soon to be all seven continents 
• My entrepreneurial journey started with the need to provide for my daughter, who has cystic fibrosis and has taught me more about growth than anyone else
• Every year I hold a big bash for clients and friends.  This is representative of my style, where I enjoy creating personal relationships with my clients and business partners.
• I love cutting to the real issues behind more challenges, problems and debates, even if it ruffles feathers along the way

Most of all I like to watch and help my clients to succeed and “Get There”  on their own terms.  I hope this new vehicle, Birol’s Blog helps me to do this with and for many more owners.
