Entrepreneurial Research Institute

The mission of the Entrepreneurial Research Institute (ERI) is to accelerate entrepreneurial success and help business owners grow their personal wealth through research-based insights and best practices.

We accomplish this first through in-depth research of successful business owners who are also the CEOs to ascertain their key concerns, challenges and accomplishments. We then combine our research with the perspectives gained through our decades working with successful entrepreneurs and wealth managers to produce highly accessible content in a wide range of formats. The result is an ongoing stream of practical guidance and recommendations for entrepreneurs to become significantly wealthier as they increase their business success.

Partnership opportunities

The Entrepreneurial Research Institute partners with a small number of select leading mastermind groups serving business owners and CEO. In return for access to their memberships for the purposes of our research, these mastermind groups are able to leverage our research expertise to gain new and valuable perspectives on their own members and how they can be even more effective in helping them achieve their goals.

Our research will be conducted on an ongoing basis, thus providing the opportunity to collect longitudinal data over time, something that is typically very difficult to obtain. All research is conducted on the AES Nation survey platform, with full support provided to partners to effectively reach out to their members to complete the survey.

Below is our projected annual cycle of research, analysis and content creation:

  • July: Create survey instrument; collaborate with partners to develop questions specific to their groups
  • September: Provide survey to partners
  • October: Conduct survey (four weeks)
  • November: Conduct data analysis and formulate recommendations
  • December: Present executive summary of research findings to group leaders
  • December – March: Create book highlighting research findings and recommendations
  • April: Book in stock in digital and softcover format
  • July: Book in stock in hard cover format
