One simple goal for your attending this event is to leave with an action plan to Connect, Confide, and Collaborate with high-level business professionals. To live your best life!

We will feature several great speakers and multiple opportunities to network with other members. Don’t miss this opportunity to network with purpose-driven business leaders across the country.

A special invitation-only small group event limited to 50 participants. You will create magical connections with successful leaders just like you. Join us for your next big idea! You will learn the secrets of how you can Embrace a Lifestyle of Achievement and live a lifestyle with many experiences. Note hotel reservations will be made directly with Barnsley Resort.

**Please note all overnight accommodations will be booked separately from the two-day event. **

All presenters will practice our ABEL training philosophy:  Action-Based Experiential Learning. We do not believe in long boring seminars; learning comes from doing. This will be an experience like none you have experienced before. Every topic will be taught with an activity. Lunch is included for both days, with some surprise optional events in the evening.

We will focus on creating a life plan focused on your 6 F’s.

Family, Fitness, Finances, Fun, Field (Career), and Faith

You will be active, engaged, encouraged, and inspired by our experts and participants in these incredibly significant areas. You will also develop minimum standards and an action plan to create breakthrough moments for your personal and professional life.

Everyone would agree that having goals for each of the six F’s is an important first step on the road to success.
While it is a step, it’s only the first step; the ability to take action toward those goals is what generates results. We’ll explore goals and steps to kick you into action to move toward the lifestyle of your dreams.

• The objectives for this event:
  Dig into the Mindset of Achievement. We will discover what high-performing business leaders do differently and implement their strategies.
• Connect with other participants in deep and meaningful ways. This is why we are limiting the event to 50 participants.
• We will explore how you have done goal-setting in the past. We will discover why goals don’t work and put a plan in place to fix that for you and your team.
• You will participate in a community impact project.
• Embrace the challenges related to Family, Fitness, Finances, Fun, Field (Career), and Faith, and create an action plan to experience a new level of success in each area.
• Learn from our experts how to focus on developing positive life-changing habits.

The event is divided into two days. Not your usual summit event!

Field Speaker

Cliff Oxford has been a featured columnist for The New York Times and Forbes and was named Atlanta Entrepreneur of the Year by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. His books include Redneck Reverie, Lambs to Leaders, and Know Grow Exit.

Oxford was awarded the 2020 Men Impact Change Award by Dr. George E. Holmes of the Black Caucus Foundation ALC.

Oxford is the founder of CliffCo., an international think tank symposium modeled for a defined third-level leadership that focuses on developing members’ “inner” leadership presence through the three elements of personal leadership: enhancing their technical knowhow and skill, having the right attitude towards other people; and psychological self-mastery. Prior to starting CliffCo, Oxford owned the Oxford Center for Entrepreneurs, which reformed the exit process for companies under $100 million dollars, allowing business exits to properly maximize the value for Entrepreneurs and employees of the company. The Oxford Center contained a portfolio of over 500 companies and Oxford’s Morning ReportTM blog, where he wrote daily columns on politics, pop culture, and business sold to Advantage Media, a division of Forbes Books, in April 2018. Oxford’s first company, StI Knowledge, which was listed as thirteenth on the INC.’s distinguished editorial award list, was sold to Mellon Ventures in 2004.
