How the tracks relate
- Each track is independent, with its own dashboard and its own progress. You can own one, any two, or all three.
- You can own one, any two, or all three.
- Where subjects overlap, each track teaches them at its own depth. A link between tracks is always optional.
- The Deal Lab is where you apply the method to a deal. It is a working tool, not a fourth course.
Where the method comes from
Built from about 25 years of buying and integrating businesses. Field experience is always labeled as experience and never presented as a statistic.
