“I asked him if he would come up with a few options, and he said, ‘No, I will solve your problem for you and you will pay me. You don’t have to use the solution. If you want options go talk to other people.’”

Outside Help

Sometimes you need a lifeline. Sometimes its impossible to stay afloat.

Implement your idea & improve your business by adding six figure salaries at a fraction of the cost. If you are like most small businesses you cannot afford a single MBA to help you with your business. Much less multiple people with numerous 3 letter initials behind their name. We aim to solve that. We will put the resources you need together for you. Extend your business. Add External Resources. Add External Thought.

Who Is External Thought?

MBA = Focus on Revenue or Costs

One of these MBAs literally wrote the book on Business Plans, but they can both explain why a business plan that costs $10,000+ probably isn't going to be very effective for your business. Together let's figure out a way to turn that $10,000 into sales.

MSE = Focus on the Market, the IP, & the Exit (or alternatively "Building Something")

MPS = Focus on People

Psst... We'll Let You In On A Secret. We Aren't Experts In Everything.

However, we do have connections with all of the best-of-the-best. Our connections become your connections. In fact, depending on the program you participate in ... we'll even absorb all of the cost of using our connections.

How Does External Thought Give Back to the Community?

  • We sit on the Board of Advisors for USF's Center for Entrepreneurship.
  • We donate to local charities (personally). Including Kimberly Home and the Homeless Emergency Project.
  • We give away some of our best thoughts for free.

How Much Does External Thought Cost and what do we get?

We have full time jobs. We actually love our jobs, but...

We also like working on new projects. Having said that because it is not our primary source of income we are afforded the luxury of being picky. External Thought's services are not for the faint of heart. You'll be putting yourself through business bootcamp. Hire Us or learn more about our process.
