Solve challenges, strengthen your team, expand your network
This year’s Focus On Competitive Advantage is all about elevating your family business. It’s time to take things to the next level, and this event will get you there! Bring the entire team to maximize goal alignment, communication, and renewed passion!
We will help you elevate these aspects of your business:
YOUR PEOPLE
Your team is everything. Establishing efficient processes, effective communication, and eliminating drama will keep your team fulfilled and productive. We will look at your organizational structure, interpersonal relationships, and “right person – right position” matching to elevate your team to the next level.
YOUR PASSION
Your team won’t be passionate if you aren’t. As an owner/leader your passion for the business must be unmatched and infectious. Let’s renew your passion and inspire your team.
YOUR PROFITS
It’s not ALL about the money, but the money is important and every family business wants to maximize profits. There’s a lot of “economy concern” right now, and we will address these issues and help you plan wisely for the future of your family business.
Arthur Greeno: Owner/Operator of multiple Chick-fil-A restaurants, World record holder, Amazon best-selling author, Husband, Father of six, Mentor, Speaker, and Coach.
Coming from a broken home, Arthur endured hardships in his family financially, as well as emotionally. As a man of faith his story of overcoming adversity is amazing, to a point where his motto is now to teach, inspire, and serve.
Arthur has been involved with Chick-fil-A, a family-owned business, for a total of 34 years with 30 of those years as an owner. Going from running a small store to being a multi-store owner was not easy, but creative community outreach, dedication to culture, faith, and more than a little stubbornness allowed him to achieve much over that time. Arthur also has two of his six children working with him.
Arthur is asked to speak all over the nation due to his success with leadership, inspiration and drive. Chick-fil-A’s forefront of customer service is to serve, and Arthur trains his team to do just that. Serve them first and then serve them Chikin! Teaching his team and others about how to HONOR their guests is an integral part of his business model.

Have you been hacked yet? If you think family businesses won’t get targeted…thing again. If you want to learn how to secure your business from hackers, who better to learn from than a former black hat hacker? But you probably don’t know any hackers…
Good news! Back by popular demand, Hector Monsegur will be joining us at the year’s Focus On Competitive Advantage event (FOCA)! Hector is a former black hat hacker, turned FBI white hat, and now works for one of the country’s foremost cyber security firms.

We brought him to FOCA for the first time in 2021, and after a super useful and intriguing session last year, Hector is returning! This year’s session is a Q&A format, giving you direct access to the answers you need to protect your family business!
