PARTICIPANT COMMENTS

“Overdelivers at every turn. Being part of a talented and giving peer group and exposed to world class teachers, mentors and content is a real game changer.”

“To say ELP is anything other than life changing would be an understatement. On the surface it is a connection to group of driven people, along with training sessions in every aspect of business. But dig a little deeper and you discover a community that want YOU to succeed, a support network that is willing to be brutally honest, positive and supportive with the end goal of transforming you into your highest potential.”

“It’s been said that below average talk about other people. Average people talk about things. Above average talk about ideas. WMI is a great place to discuss ideas.”

“The McCains are renowned for their family business.  The WMI ELP mixes these elements of family and business.  You quickly feel like a family unit; and know the members have each other's backs, rooting for each other's personal and  professional success.”

“ELP is a 4th dimension for me, it will optimize your life in every way.”

“The ELP program is a unique opportunity to be a member of a peer group that supports each other to grow and succeed.”

“Becoming a member of the ELP Program has given me a unique opportunity to be surrounded by and have access to a diverse group of successful entrepreneurs.”

“Sensational speakers and a fantastic peer group. The ELP is extremely high value and has lasting benefits.”

“Joining ELP and WMI has been a tremendous opportunity for me, not only in building a family of like-minded entrepreneurs, but by helping to broaden my focus on the success of my business in the Greater Atlantic Area.”

“If you're at a potentially pivotal point in your business, you feel you have too much going on, not enough time for a program like ELP, or you don't think it's for someone like you...then you should make the time to do this now.”

“ELP has given me a group of friends that ‘get it.’ The understanding and support provides confidence as does being exposed to probably the brightest group of personal business coaches that could be found anywhere.”

“People dream about being an entrepreneur.  Very few will actually take the plunge, but those that do will realize the value in what the McCain Institute has offered.  Being selected to be a part of ELP10 has been a life changing opportunity for me.”

“If You Don’t Want to Grow, This Isn’t For You! I grew from 12 locations to over 100 because of ELP. You will only grow as much as you are willing to listen.”

“This has enabled me the time to work on my business instead of always working in it... without ELP this simply wouldn't happen.”
