Hi there,

Have you always wanted to become an Ice House Facilitator but it didn't work with your schedule?

Entrepreneurial Mindset Facilitator Training will now be offered in a 4-week, online course in February 2020. Led by ELI Founder, Gary Schoeniger, and President, Rob Herndon, the program will be a blend of pre-recorded lectures, live sessions, as well as group discussions and activities to immerse new facilitators in the power of the eight life lessons.

No matter what you do for a living, you will see yourself in a positive way after this [training]. The only regret you may have is that you would have taken this class earlier in your life, but it's still not [too] late!

- Shailesh Patel, Entrepreneur

Apply an entrepreneurial mindset to your classroom or community in the comfort of your home or office!

P.S. Do you still want to attend an in-person facilitator training? Don't worry! We will be announcing the 2020 dates and locations soon.

EXPANDING MINDSET

Fortune Favors the Reliable

Many famous entrepreneurs appear to strike gold in their endeavors. Even if we hear the origin story of their success—they often took years filled with difficulty and multiple failures to get where they are—something is missing from the retelling. At a glance, it looks like luck, a chance encounter with the right person or stumbling upon a solution worth enough to sell it.

Ice House Is More Accessible Than Ever

"Who Owns the Ice House?" is available in audiobook format! Now you can take the lessons of Uncle Cleve, Clifton Taulbert, and Gary Schoeniger with you wherever you go. Whether you are engaging with the lessons for the first time or revisiting the stories of Clifton's life, there is something for everyone in this new version of the book.
