"Outstanding from A-Z. The GrowThink Team does it right! The Business Blueprint Live event I attended was packed with useful, insightful, and *original* content. Unlike so many other conferences that simply use the seminar to sell sell sell, GrowThink creates a tremendous amount of value for a very affordable price, I learned a TON. Highly recommended."
"Who said Growthink is professional?
If you are interested in a template to write a business plan, I guess Growthink is a good starting point. When it comes to you and your business I doubt they can support you.
They don't take care of you and the way they treat you is very unprofessional.
We had a chat with somebody at Growthink who hadn't done his homework, was absolutely unprofessional and didn't take our business serious.
Growthink's Email reply poilicy is a disaster.
You can be lucky if they answer you. And when they answer there is no reply to your questions.
Growthink is good at motivating by Newsletter and their presenations are useful, but don't waste your money with them."
"Very very very innovative. It's among the best in this generation."
"This site it´s the best for small businesses or startups, I had downloaded several programs and modules from Growthink and they are great. I´d like to display or send us an example of business plan (with no company name of course)to understand more how a bp needs to be done."
"Dave
I almost couldn't wait to tell people about Growthink, I read your news letter every morning at 6am this has inspired me to move forward in my start up business. I have a small liquor company based out of New York City. I've created the worlds first formulated vodka tequila blend and while Reading your daily Newsletters it has inspired me to grow my company and place things in the right perspective as far as, seeking investers knowing the diffrence between venture capatalist and angel investers that will help your company grow by having the right finacial backing for a successful future in business I actually have a few meetings with Investers this week.
I've even learned how to keep my employees motivated and already I have them vision the bigger picture so that they push harder to make this dream a reaility.
I Ordered your free book "Start At The End" it arrived in perfect time and while I haven't had chance to read it yet I'm dedicating a few hours this weekend to relaxe sit back and enjoy the great teachings it has in store for me. Thanks Dave I think everyone who owns a Business or have a start up company should really consider using Grothinkas a tool for success.

"I bought the Growthink business plan and am very pleased with the ease of use. I will be submitting it for an SBA grant to remodel my real estate office. I reccomend anyone who wants a professional quality business plan without having to invest thousands of dollars and hundreds of house to invest in it."
"I bought several products
a. growththink university, b. business plan, virtual assistant, crowdfunding. I was astonished by the dept and ease that Growthink presents difficult issues and guides you through to understand it. I follow regulary Dave on the facebook and email and I find very practical and focus information on business but also on the emtional side of decision makeing."
"Dave Lavinsky and Jay Turo are sharing real experiences, precise details, and their overall performance methods for us to follow.
It's not a matter that most of us are leery of your methodologies and experiences, we are happy to read these treasures.
Sometimes, when I want to order a specific product, you introduce a scammed marketing ploy and 'boom', I'm out of there. I don't order - why? Because I don't have any money and when you offer something for free, then ask money for this and that...you are in fact, taking away the few dollars that I have to live on and become a lair, even when you're into your credit card, merchandising product flow.
So far, the plans that I have followed have produced very good results but watch it...WE entrepreneurs, are neither only Right or only Left, politically - we are from both sides and we can 'see' 'what we want, when we want it' and are looking for that perfect system that comes from your company to help our tactics become a reality at every milestone of the Series of Rounds funding towards that Exit Strategy.
If this does not happen, I will delete you completely, just as I have done several others because of their political bent, shallow determination, false secrets, that I know it's just not true, so I know better.
In simple terms Dave: Stop selling yourself and offer me better gifts, tactics and life-saving Deals.
Best Year 2013;

"Growthink is an invaluable resource for entrepreneurs and business owners. I've purchased several of their online programs & templates, and they're excellent because there isn't a lot of fluff - just concise, useable material. But Growthink's best business insights are available - free of charge - simply by signing up for David Lavinsky's blog.
Like me, many entrepreneurs realize we don't have all the answers to the myriad issues we face, and being a sole proprietor, can literally be a lonely business. Who can you ask for help? Dave's blog is "the silent partner" that encourages and keeps me & others moving forward. His insights are gained from personal experience, not pie-in-the-sky academia. Plus he offers tips from other successful entrepreneurs - from funding to strategic planning - which helps immeasurably.
As I get closer to launching my e-commerce website in a few months, I have many individuals to thank, not the least of which, is Dave Lavinsky & his dedicated colleagues at Growthink.

"I paid $97 for your business plan templates and found them to be outstanding for completing the descriptive part of the plan but a dismal failure for doing the Microsoft Excel pro forma financial statements.
I had expected to find "straw man" pro formas with links to the downloaded business plan which would require me only to fill in actual projections for the business I am developing.
When I downloaded the Microsoft Excel work sheet, however, it was completely blank. Even though I have 49 years of experience in Science & Technology with a degree in Physics and a MBA, intructions in the business plan to create the pro formas were so befuddling that I have not yet been able to complete even a draft of the pro formas.
Because of this glaring defect, I would not recommend your business plan product at this time to anyone else.
I have, however, purchased your book - Start at the End - and found that to be very helpful.
I also enjoy reading your weekly newsletter.

"We've been working with Growthink for 4 years now. Their educational products and systems are a tremendous value, particularly for busy Executives whose time is precious."
"I've had a great experience using Growthink's Ultimate Business Plan Template. It's a straight forward document that helped me think through the important parts of my business plan before my investor meeting. I was able to complete the plan over one weekend, and when I did have questions (right before that investor meeting!) their customer service team was able to get me on the right track. While I personally didn't opt to try their consulting services, overall, I'd happily recommend Growthink's products again. "
"Excellent and top quality service! Really satisfied with them."
"Growthink has been a great service. I purchased their business plan template to open a cupcake café in my town. It was quick and easy to follow. I am also finding my monthly membership to Growthink’s Insider Circle very informative. The weekly e-classes have taught me about different types of investors, as well as multiple tools to help my business grow. You even get a monthly call with the President of the company! Totally worth the monthly membership fee in my option.
"
"Growthink is a complete scam. I said they could charge me a one time charge of $29.95 They keep billing me $97.00 a month for something called Insider's Circle. I never wanted this and I never ordered it. I talked with a lady in customer service named Sarah
two times and she says they don't refund money.DON'T DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!! ****@****"
