Breakthrough Groups

“My goal coming into the group was growing my company by focusing on gaining new clients. During the group time period, I doubled the number of clients (which grew revenue by 40%) and took a bold step to hire business development help that will likely double revenue in the coming 3 months. Unexpectedly, I also had a breakthrough in my marriage that came from taking the initiative to have some good conversations that felt hard during a busy time of life.”

“Three things I loved about the Breakthrough Group. Number one, you give us 10 minutes every time for journal time. And it's a chance to slow down and identify the breakthroughs we're seeing that are all around us. Number two, the challenging questions you ask us. You assume positive intent and follow through. Third, the vulnerability of the group. It's been powerful just assembling a group of like-minded individuals we can be vulnerable with, rub shoulders with, and learn from.”

“I walked into it with a lot of unknown. I had a major transition in my career, and a lot of open doors, but not a lot of clarity on where to go. The Breakthrough Group helped me take action steps to pursue those doors to close them to open others. And I'm walking into a role now as an executive director that just couldn't have even imagined back then.”

“I totally feel a different shift in my mindset. I was operating in a scarcity mindset, trying to control outcomes, and really frustrated, like I was in this never-ending loop. Where maybe fear and anxiety would lead the way I respond to a challenging situation, I'm noticing that I'm much more calculated and calm. I am not trying to control outcomes, but believing that the outcomes are going to happen for me, and I'm really leaning into my strengths and my passions.”

“What I love about to Breakthrough Group model is the mindset that is brought into it. Number one: Here’s an inflection point. And here's what you're going to do to try to work through that...all the way to getting feedback and then reiterating on that. It harkens back to Jim Collins concept of the flywheel. And I felt that it was a visceral, pragmatic way of applying that flywheel into my day to day life in different ways.”

“Breakthrough Groups are different from others largely due to the simplicity of the model and how much they encourage focused action and self-reflection. It was foundational in helping keep me on track with my business goals. I realized that my capacity is much higher than I initially thought and that I need to create better autonomous systems in my business.”

“Most groups have a pendulum problem. They either swing too hard towards an outcome that they lose the human element or vice versa and fail to meet the objective. I found my Breakthrough Group experience to be the perfect balance between the two. It raised the volume of my awareness to a degree that my personal and professional goals aligned in a new way. I wouldn't have the momentum I have now without it.”

“Clarity.  The right question.  A tight summary.  A structure that inspires forward motion.  You'll get all these things in a Breakthrough Group.  But it's working with Curtis Carnes that will make the difference.   Curtis is an excellent coach and wants to see you succeed.”
