What People Are Saying

The MBD is the single biggest influence on the decisions I made in my business then and still to this day.

Dwight Cooper

CEO, PPR Talent Management Group

Disruption is the new norm. We need to know it, expect it, and figure out ways to embrace it. Growth Institute and the MBD program give you the tools, support, coaching, and peer masterminding to help you navigate the milestones and challenges of growing your business exponentially…

Pamela Carrington Rotto

The MBD made me rethink what was going on in my business. I’m now coaching seven companies which average around $100 million dollars per year, and they want to grow much bigger than that.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've already taken some of these courses. What are my options?

Have you taken Topgrading or perhaps Scaling Up? No worries. We are offering new Master Courses in 2018 and more every year. This means you can start the program with a course that you have not taken, and select others when new ones launch. Plus, your payment for your previous course(s) will count as a credit, so you’ve already partially paid for your MBD.

What does the application process look like?

Upon submission of your application, you will receive an email immediately with more information on next steps. The timeline for acceptance will be within a week of your submission. Once you have been notified of acceptance, you will have 2 weeks to pay to hold your spot in the program.

When can I start my MBD program?

Each Master Course is held once per quarter. You can join the program at any time and will be given the options for when the next courses will be starting for you to join.

I'm starting a Master Course this quarter. Can it count towards my MBD?

Yes! If you are enrolled in a Master Course that is starting this quarter, we will count it towards your MBD as credit.

Can I count the MBD towards university credits?

The MBD is an accredited certificate program. It is not the equivalent of a University’s Masters Degree. The acceptance of MBD courses as university credit would fully depend on the institution granting your degree.

What does it mean to be accredited?

The Gazelles Growth Institute is a Corporate and Digital Learning Institution. We are regulated and accredited by an AdvancED. This means that we are audited by strict guidelines that ensure quality of learning.

Is Growth Institute a university?

We are an official Corporate and Digital Learning Institution but not technically a university.

For the purpose of synergy, we have to gather a group of CEOs, executives and entrepreneurs from companies that have already achieved a certain level of growth — reflected especially in the size of their projects, teams and the revenue. We also have to make sure that you’ve reached the stage where our methodology can be implemented effectively.

Ideally, you have already completed one of our Master Business Courses, implemented its solutions and you are able to share your results with us. 

There’s no application fee. You can apply individually or as a team of executives.

 

Because this course is highly interactive, in the application process we’ll ask you about:

  • Your top skills and what can you bring to the table;
  • Your business background and experience;
  • Your previous achievements;
  • Your company’s mission and current goals.
