What is Be Strategic? The Be Strategic program provides a unique opportunity for local, non-competing businesses to work alongside one another to create a strategic business plan for growth, make meaningful connections, and improve their business within a supportive group setting.

Who is it for?  Be Strategic is for growth-oriented business owners in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Ideal participants have been in business for a couple of years, are ready to take the next steps in growing their business and are willing to be held accountable to reach their goals.

Why is it different? The six-week interactive course is designed and facilitated by EFund advisors who have years of experience helping businesses grow. Participants work through various business topics, including defining their mission, vision, and core values, identifying trends in their industry, creating a marketing plan, and refining their 10-year target. By the end of the course, each business owner walks away with a strategic plan to help them achieve their growth goals.

How do I apply? We are still finalizing more 2026 classes. If you are interested in having a class near your community, let us know. Email Event Coordinator Caleb Hacker at calebh@efund.org. We prioritize hosting courses in areas where we see the most interest and where there is the greatest need.

We will soon be accepting applications for the 2026 Grand Rapids Class. Once posted, complete the application form. Our team will review your application and notify you of your selection two weeks prior to the first meeting.
