Classes & Speaking Engagements

Classes

Marion Gropen teaches two ways: online and in-person. Teaching is her first love, and it shows.

Learn Online

The first online course will be offered this fall. When you have finished it, you will be able to:

  • Predict your cash flows, and take corrective action when necessary.
  • Increase your profits, through improved tactics.
  • Predict your results when acquiring, launching and marketing books.
  • Understand the implications of unfamiliar deals and make the best choices.
  • Plan for the future more effectively.
  • Estimate how much capital you need and when.
  • Protect your investment, as well as get the biggest profit possible.

You will get:

  • chapters discussing each week's topic for eight weeks,
  • spreadsheet templates you can keep and adapt to your own situation,
  • practice problems, and
  • membership in a private email-based discussion group where we all ask and answer questions about the material, and about how it might apply to your situation.  

The price contemplated is $150 per student. If you wish to be notified when the start date has been set, or just want more details, please contact me by email.
