The 10X Growth Accelerator Program is strategically designed to help you develop business growth strategies in 14 weeks so that by the end of the program, you are ready to implement those strategies and achieve exponential growth. Each week, we will get together and block out distractions to create a space where you can focus on your business and break out of the daily grind. Expect to question everything in your business, tackle issues you’ve put off for too long, and create a plan for anticipated issues that come with rapid growth.
Here’s what to expect from each session:
The kickoff of this growth accelerator focuses on establishing a 10X growth mindset. As you begin to get out of the daily grind and start to work on your business, it’s essential to establish an orientation toward success. This is your first step.
This phase of the 10X Growth Accelerator develops the strategies that become the economic engine of your business. First, you must eliminate the wide-open approach and articulate your specific solution. Then you can pinpoint the best audience that needs what you have to offer.
After digging deep into the minutiae of your business solutions, it can feel overwhelming to distill those details into a short, punchy message that your ideal audience will instantly understand. That’s where a well-crafted elevator pitch comes in. You can effortlessly introduce your brand to the world in a way that immediately captures attention.
Once you understand your solution and your audience, it’s time to communicate that to the masses. Digital has become the standard for marketing efforts, and there are more opportunities than ever before to reach your audience through the entire customer journey. You need a complete marketing strategy that leads to meaningful conversions.
Many founders agree that sales are vital to their business, yet they struggle to follow a repeatable sales process. You’ve worked to get an audience interested in your solution – now it’s time to make the sale! The good news is that it is possible to implement a proven sales process for your business.
As you begin to see your strategic growth plan take shape, it’s important to remember the role of leadership and culture. Effective leadership and a well-defined culture become the driving force of your organization. We will dive deep into the soft skills that must be present to build a high-performing team.
If you push to 10X by simply selling more things and hiring more people, you are bound to stall or collapse altogether without scalable processes. Assess your operations, including people, processes, technology, and key performance indicators, and look for optimizations that position your company to handle 10X growth.
As you put your business on a 10X growth trajectory, having a clear picture of your financials becomes increasingly important. You will quickly get past operating on fuzzy numbers and feelings, as potential blindspots can lead to disaster. It is possible to manage your business through a vital set of financial metrics without a finance degree.
Digital readiness can be the key ingredient to ignite growth. Businesses in any industry can leverage digital technologies to increase efficiency and productivity in their operations. You will analyze how well you take advantage of technology and uncover new opportunities using data-driven decision making.
Now that your mindset and motivations are clear, it’s time to begin to plan for 10X growth. We will redefine strategic growth planning and introduce a new method that’s concise and actionable. This plan is how we start to define what you stand for, where you’re going, and the DNA of your organization.
With your Mission, Vision, and Core Values defined, it’s time to lay out the specific steps that will become your path to 10X. In this all-day workshop, you will complete the initial draft of your 10X Strategic Growth Plan. Get unstuck with the guidance of your advisors and achieve breakthroughs with outside perspectives from your fellow cohort members.
After 12 weeks of refining your 10X Growth Plan, it’s time to show off your company's future. Share your newly defined Mission, Vision, Core Values, and the Long-term Targets, Short-term Goals, and Key Performance Indicators you will use to get you to your Vision. Finally, declare your brand promise and how you’ll make a difference.
Most people would call the last of anything a finale. For us, however, it’s just the beginning of your path to 10X. That’s why the last week of the 10X Growth Accelerator is the LAUNCH week. It’s time to celebrate all that you’ve accomplished and cheer each other on as you begin your journey to future success.
Throughout the 14 weeks, businesses will be supported by experienced professionals who have helped countless companies succeed. These advisors will provide constant support, guiding companies and ensuring their growth strategies are on the right track.

Your company must meet the following criteria to participate in the 10X Growth Accelerator Program:
The 10X Growth Accelerator is available at no cost for Arkansas-based businesses, thanks to grant funding from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
Arkansas is full of companies with the potential to scale far beyond their current state. The biggest problem we see is the lack of an effective strategic growth plan that sets the business up for sustainable growth. The other problem we see is business owners and executives stuck in the day-to-day so much that they can’t get time to focus on the business.
The 10X Growth Accelerator tackles both of those problems head-on, allowing business owners time to focus on the future growth of their company with the team, tools, and peers to support them along the way. The 14-week time investment will pay off exponentially.
The businesses that see the most success from the 10X Growth Accelerator have a business model that is capable of 10X growth. They also – but not always – have a team (as few as 5 employees) and generally focus on B2B sales.
The 10X Growth Accelerator is housed in the Arnold Innovation Center in Conway, AR. Participants will meet 6 times in person from 9 am to 4 pm with some virtual meetings and asynchronous content in between.
Participants are asked to participate in at least 80% of the in-person and virtual convenings in order to remain in the program. The program has proven to help alumni companies grow exponentially, but in order to experience that growth, participants have to engage actively in the content and actively build a plan for growth.
Companies can bring up to 3 individuals from their organization in C-suite level positions. We ask that all participants who enroll regularly attend the meetings to keep continuity in conversations and content, as well as build relationships within the cohort to provide peer-to-peer feedback.
Now is the time to take your business to the next level with the 10X Growth Accelerator Program. Join other companies across the state of Arkansas that have used this powerful program to achieve their goals of rapid business expansion and increased revenue.
