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.
