Offering $150,000 worth of advice for only $100
 During CBU's November Producer Forum, our Vice President Jac Arbour, announced an offer specifically for CBU advisors from bestselling author Harvey Mackay*.
In 2011 Harvey Mackay had a vision. Could he take an elite group of America's most successful business owners to the highest level - the zenith of accomplishment? Harvey invited a diverse group of 30 top entrepreneurs to meet privately, hear presentations by leading authorities on business and life, and exchange their most effective success strategies. All agreed that the experience was worth many times the $75,000 per year cost of admission.
In 2014 Harvey Mackay had another vision - take what transformed the lives of 30 Roundtable Members and make it affordable to every business owner, manager and entrepreneur in the country.
Through Jac's association with Harvey Mackay, for just $100, you can now access $150,000 in transformational business advice and life savvy. Normally $990.
