Join us in Austin for one weekend and walk out with a battle plan you can deploy tomorrow – one that delivers both immediate breathing room and long-term leverage in your business. 

We Focus On Three Pilars:
Clarity, Certainty and Intention

Clarity: First, we’ll focus on identifying the main roadblock to growth in YOUR business.  Get real solutions from Codie and her team who have conquered 7, 8, and 9-figure milestones.

Certainty is achieved by aligning your mission and vision. The problem? Most owners can’t “see the forest for the trees”. We’ll realign and re-orient you so you’re only working on the most impactful initiatives.

Intention + Action leads to big wins. Learn growth through 90-day focused sprints and leveraged systems that make revenue and momentum predictable.

Want to Scale Smarter in 2026?

-We’ll help less than 100 business owners, in one intimate room, with hands on help from my senior leadership and executive team. You get access to my team and me, who have scaled 7, 8, and 9-figure companies. Steal our homework.

Why the Growth Accelerator Workshop Might Not Be For You...

‍

If you’re happy grinding for 10% year‑over‑year growth and calling it a win, you probably shouldn’t come to Growth Accelerator.

But if you’re the owner who knows your business could be 3–10x bigger with the right levers, this is built for you.

Most “business events” are TED Talks. You fly in, get hyped, fly home, and nothing changes.

Meanwhile:

- Only about 9% of businesses ever break $1M in revenue.

- Less than 0.5% ever see $10M+

- And a microscopic 0.03% make it to $100M+.

Yet the businesses that do break through have one thing in common: the owner stops acting like talent and starts acting like an operator.

They know their numbers. They know which levers move profit. They build systems and teams that work when they’re not in the room.

Growth Accelerator is three intense days of turning you into that kind of owner.

What happens in the room? This is not “sit and listen.” It’s a diagnostic, discovery, and deployment of a plan.

- You bring your real P&L, products, pricing, obstacles, offers, and org chart.

- We identify the 3–5 constraints that are actually choking your growth: pricing, lead flow, churn, ops bottlenecks, and bad comp plans.

- You leave with a concrete growth plan and a simple dashboard you actually check.

‍

Every block is: learn → apply to your numbers → get feedback from me and my operators → lock in a playbook you can run

"Attending the workshop with Codie Sanchez and her incredible team was a total game-changer. This wasn’t just another hype-filled event — it was packed with real, actionable strategies and hands-on workshops that challenged how I think about business, ownership, and wealth.

If you’re serious about scaling your business, this is where you need to be."

"I have been to numerous business workshops and conferences before, but working with Codie and Ayman was a life-changing experience. I had been searching for a year to understand why my business was stagnant despite seemingly doing everything right.

I had all my answers before lunch on the first day! And the rest of the workshop made me think in ways I had never thought before."

FAQ

Are participants truly screened? Who will be in the room?

Yes, we’re screening who’s in the room. All business owners must show the drive to scale to multiple 7 figures… and have proven to our team they are focused on the key growth levers of hiring, marketing, operations and sales.

How much will Codie be teaching and do i get personalized help?

Yes, Codie will personally be teaching her strategy to grow businesses to multiple 9-figures. You will also be getting hands-on advice and personalized workshops with her heads of marketing, sales, her executive team, her finance team, and her acquisitions team.

These people combined make millions and millions of dollars a year, and you get access to them in this workshop when no one else in the world does.

What happens during these 3 days?

This is a deep dive workshop with my team, and you'll come to my office for part of it. You're going to be grouped with other owners in your same industries and revenue levels so that you can grow with others that are similar to you. You'll also be getting pre-work beforehand to fill out so that when you come, you are getting on-site consulting and engaging with our team on the things directly related to your business.

,There are zero motivational talks during this. There is no fluff, there is no rah-rah. This is only for people who want hands-on advice about scaling and building profitable businesses. If you want inspiration and hanging out this event is not for you.

When you say this will be a small workshop, how small is small?

We’re limiting attendance to around 100 people. We will NOT be adding more seats to keep this workshop high touch and high impact.

Who else is in the room?

This event is only for business owners. You cannot come into the room if you have an idea, an MVP, or a business that is not on the path to making $7M, $8M, or $9M in revenue.

Our sweet spot is helping people get to $5M, $10M, and $20M in revenue from your current status. This is also not a non-profit. This is only for business owners, and we do screen every single person who comes in as we analyze your business in order to do our consulting.

What type of businesses are appropriate for the Scaling Workshop and what will we learn?

The tactics, frameworks, and operational efficiencies we’ll lean into work for both B2B and B2C businesses. These are the exact strategies and tactics that I’ve used to grow a media and education company simultaneously, my VC fund, and holding company that currently has 30 companies under its umbrella.  Without these, you won’t be able to hit your revenue goals and do it while still keeping your sanity. Together, we will:

Can I bring a business partner, life partner, or spouse?

Absolutely! But they’ll need to grab their own ticket too.

Where’s the venue and what hotels do you recommend?

The event will be held in Austin, Texas, at the Contrarian Thinking HQ and another location near South Congress. We recommend booking accommodations around the Downtown Austin area.
