Patrick Gentempo discusses BFS... 
|
"Do you know the principles of business? Business Finishing School is like a key that unlocks painful shackles that prevent entrepreneurs, professionals, and business people from experiencing the success and happiness they deserve. We suffer needlessly. I say this based on my own experience. As business owners, we need to know the foundational truths of business. And that is exactly what Business Finishing School provides."Patrick Gentempo, Jr., D.C. |

What Is Business Finishing School?
Business FINISHING SCHOOL is a completely new and unique online business training course. Also, once you are enrolled in the program you will have the opportunity to attend our Live Business Mastery Intensive 3-day Boot Camp.
Each month, you will have online access to a new video module, featuring Rick Sapio with support from Dr. Patrick Gentempo. Each module has a companion guide and additional assignments. You will learn why to 'not be addicted to yes' and the 'simplicity imperative'...or why you need a 'doorman' guarding who you let into your business and life. In all, there over 4 years of material, with the first year of the program teaching you the 12 Foundation Principles of Business (one each month).
The power is in the simplicity! Each module is 30 to 60 minutes long and can be accessed by one computer (1 IP address) that you register for the course. From each module, you will learn the business principle and there will be discussion as to how it applies to business. The design is for you to be able to apply what you've learned to your business immediately. If this seems overly simple, it is because it is! These concepts are easy to understand and put into action. When you apply them they are game-changing. Here are the module descriptions for year one:
| Module 1 | |
| Values-Based Decision Making You will learn one of the most important "rules" regarding long-term business and personal success, i.e. how to institute a "values-based culture", in order to create a sustainable business. This lesson will show you how to leverage yourself and your business so that you can accomplish more, with less investment of time and resources. |
|
| Module 2 | |
| Life and Business "Catalyzing Statement" and
Management-by-Objectives ("MBO") An age-old business principle, brought current with the introduction of the "Catalyzing Statement". You will learn how to use a Catalyzing Statement, and MBO, to pull everyone in your organization onto the same page, in order that they all "sing from the same sheet of music." This organizing principle will add predictability to your business. |
|
| Module 3 | |
| Using Rhythms to Amplify Time and Success It's been said that successful businesses are comprised of good habits, and unsuccessful businesses are comprised of bad habits. You will learn how to institute rhythms and habits into your culture, so that your organization is not reliant only on you. |
|
| Module 4 | |
| New Profit Paradigm Organizations need to learn how to partner, outsource, and leverage resources, so that they can do more with less. Here you will learn how to align all resources to produce the most value in the marketplace, in order to achieve more success. |
|
| Month 5 | |
| Business Entity Structure to Leverage Long-Term Wealth Businesses that have thrived for many decades understand that there are universal rules for success built around organizational structure. Most entrepreneurs believe that wealth is created by taking money out of a business, when the opposite is often true. You will learn how to maximize wealth opportunities inside your business. |
|
| Module 6 | |
| Lessons from The Billionaire Mind Rick has spent time with 14 self-made billionaires, and 11 other individuals that have achieved much in the world. He will share with you many common traits that they possess, that you can implement in your life. Even if your goal is not to become a billionaire, you will learn an immense amount in this session. |
|
| Module 7 | |
| The Battleship Principle (Asset Protection) In order to sustain themselves, long-term growth companies possess many common traits. Many of these companies started as one-person operations. You will learn how to fortify your business to withstand the sometimes harsh realities of a long-term existence. |
|
| Module 8 | |
| Simplicity On The Far Side Of Complexity Having a successful business life and personal life is often far simpler than most of us believe. You will learn how to focus, organize for success, and leverage your resources to produce more with less, while creating more profits and impact. On a personal level, you will learn how to organize your family life, so that all of your priorities are getting the attention they deserve. |
|
| Module 9 | |
| Rules-Based Business Decisions Many small businesses operate in a sometimes random fashion. Here you will learn how to add predictability to your business. You will be introduced to the concept of "having a deliberate business." The goal is to allow you to be fulfilled, achieve your goals, lower your stress, and have impactful employees. |
|
| Month 10 | |
| 5,200% Rule: How To Consistently Hire And Attract Talent There are universal principles around attracting talent that are often overlooked by over-committed small business owners. Here you will learn insights about the difficult task of recruiting and interviewing potential employees that you've likely never heard before. Many entrepreneurs and business owners don't realize how much poor talent is holding them back in business. |
|
| Module 11 | |
| The Stop Doing List: How The Ability To Say "No" Will Transform
Your Business And Your Life You will learn that your "To-Do List" is a thing of the past. You will see that many of the things you are currently doing are moving you away from long-term success, not toward it. This module promises to bring you breakthroughs in thinking that will have immediate impact. |
|
| Module 12 | |
| Lifelong Investing Success Many business people and small business entrepreneurs often are the worst investors. You will learn principles that are easy to implement, and that have long-term impact. You'll notice a common theme in all of these modules around values like "Simplicity" and "Leverage", and this certainly applies to investing as well. We find people tend to complicate, rather than simplify, and we will illuminate the difference. |
|
Year one of the program is about the 12 Foundational Principles of Business, described above. Year two is about Business Acceleration, which teaches you how to leverage what you learned in year one. Year three is about personal and business accountability, and year four is about legacy, i.e. your personal and business legacy, and what you can do to alter them.

"Business Finishing School is a powerful program designed to provide the Business professional with the tools we were never taught in school, OR ANYWHERE ELSE!! Rick Sapio's brilliance shines through, and inspires and leads us to define our business goals and vision in a meaningful way, which will propel us to greater clarity and success." Mark B.

"Business Finishing School has been an amazing source of business knowledge. The information I have learned and implemented in my practice has radically improved our operations by making us more efficient and effective. Procedures such as 'values-based decision making' have helped to automate our business decision-making process. Decisions that may have taken days to finalize, are now made in an instant. Also Rick Sapio's teachings about "management-by-objectives" have allowed me to manage my staff without having to micro-manage them. I have 8 employees, and everyone is crystal clear on what is expected of them and by when. That means each staff member can self-evaluate and know exactly how they are performing at any given time. This frees up my time to be used for its highest and best value. Our off-site office business retreat was so powerful that my practice grew by over 25% immediately. Now my staff generates more new patients that I do, and all of that is because of adhering to Rick Sapio's business principles in Business Finishing School. I am grateful to Dr. Gentempo and Rick Sapio for packing so much value into this program. I look forward to learning more." Amir Rashidian Frederick, MD |

"Business Finishing School has transformed our office. We utilize the BFS principles in our staff meetings and trainings to hone our mission, vision and purpose. By applying the principles learned in BFS we now have every member of our staff engaged, motivated, and inspired to help us serve others. Starting with the 'doorman principle' and 'values-based decision' making, which helped us recognize that our values must match the decisions we make. Each meeting incorporates the 'management-by-objectives' goals for every team member, as well as our company as a whole. I have personally implemented all of the rhythms, rituals, habits, patterns, and meetings into my life; and put it to paper. Powerful!!! Business Finishing School is the educational program that will transform our profession!!!" Mike Acanfora Bayonne, NJ |

"I have been in practice for 27 years. I have managed multiple offices and have been very successful. I have had MANY ups and downs. Most of the chiropractic seminars and consultants are of great value if you apply what you have learned. I've attended most of them. Business Finishing School is NOT a seminar or learning experience like any other. It is the foundation, the standards and principles of business which will allow you to make any of the other seminars a successful venture. I completed the first module about five weeks ago. The re-foundation I am creating from that module will certainly make me millions in the next few years! It will enable me to serve many more patients more effectively. Our offices are already being transformed and the result is a passion that is naturally coming forth from the entire staff. Patrick, thank you! Rick, thank you!" Steve Hoody New York City, NY |

"The most impressive thing about Business Finishing School is how tangible the advice is. After each lesson I have a handful of axioms that I can start implementing in my practice immediately. Rick presents his knowledge in a very accessible, layperson manner, which removes the all-to-common step of deciphering when knowledge is transferred from one profession to the next. As co-host, Pat offers salient examples on how to apply Rick's lessons. Basically, if Rick's clear presentation and focused message don't deliver the goods, Pat's experience in our field will help you marry principles to practice." Jessica Dietrich-Marsh Pelham, AL |

"This is the best business program I have been through BY FAR in my career. I have implemented many of the things taught. Among other things, I have implemented a pay-for-performance system for our employees, so raises are not automatic. They can be earned at any time with better performance. Most importantly, I have become clear on what I want, got rid of certain people and things in my life that did not contribute to achieving my goals, I say NO far more often, and my mantra lately is 'better a small pain now, for long term benefit vs. small benefit now for long term pain later.' Thanks for all you do!" David A. Packer Chesapeake, VA |

How does Finishing School work?
Finishing School is a membership-based, community of learners, committed to being effective and growth-oriented in their business and personal lives. (see below for more info)
Here is how it works:
- Each video module is presented by Rick Sapio and is co-hosted by Dr. Gentempo. In each module the general business principle for that month is presented and discussed in depth and then the application of that principle to business is taught.
- Each module will be accompanied by enrichment notes and homework will be assigned after the completion of each module.
- FREE Live Business-Mastery Intensive Boot Camp: Rick Sapio and Patrick Gentempo will be hosting a Live Business-Mastery Intensive Boot Camp: As an introductory offer, graduates of the Finishing School online course will receive one free admission to this 3-day live event where there will be live work-shop applications of the principles being taught during the online course. Please mark your calendars now for the next Boot Camp, which is taking place on September 21st to 23rd, 2012 . The location of the LIVE Boot Camp is not yet determined, but will be posted here later.
