Business Professionals Dinner Alexanders Steakhouse Cupertino | Nov 12, 2026

Complimentary invitation-only dinner on growing and scaling your business, hosted by Growth-Scaling.com at Alexander's Steakhouse Cupertino. Join business owners and leaders in law, healthcare, construction, architecture, engineering, and other related industries on **Thursday, November 12th, 2026, from 5:30PM to 8PM at Alexander's Steakhouse Cupertino**. Private dining room, dinner, and it's complimentary. **Why free?** This is how we meet the business owners and business leaders in Cupertino we want to know. The dinner is our introduction. You leave with a full stomach and a clear picture of what's actually holding your revenue where it is. **The talk: How to Grow and Scale Your Business** Most firms don't have a marketing problem. They have a scale problem, the owner is the bottleneck, revenue plateaus, and every new client adds work instead of profit. **David Mitroff, Ph.D**. and **Steven Lockhart** walk through the five-phase Growth Scaling Method from their book, the same method they use with their own clients: • **Orient** — the one number every firm owner needs to know before spending another dollar on growth • **Measure** — where your leads, revenue and time are leaking right now • **Engineer** — picking the one growth path that fits your firm, and saying no to the rest • **Build** — the systems that let the firm grow without you working more hours • **Compound** — how referrals, reputation and online presence stack on each other year over year Seating is limited and attendance is by invitation. Reserve your complimentary seat now — once the room is full, it's full. **RSVP NOW: [https://alexanders-business-dinner-sc.eventbrite.com](https://alexanders-business-dinner-sc.eventbrite.com/)** ***RSVP on Meetup does not guarantee admission!*** Prefer to talk to a person first?

Most owners have never run them. * **Where practices lose patients.** The gap between the phone call and the appointment, and what it costs you every month. * **Being found, trusted and chosen.** How patients — and now AI search — decide which practice to call. * **One path that compounds.** Why one finished acquisition channel beats five half-built ones. * **The first ninety days.** A sequence you can run in your own practice, starting the next morning. **Who's leading it** **David Mitroff, Ph.D.** is a business growth strategist and keynote speaker with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. He has taught at UC Berkeley, spoken twice at TEDx, mentored for Google for Startups, written five books on business growth, and advised over thousand of clients. **Steven Lockhart** has spent more than 25 years growing healthcare practices — SEO, websites, content, reputation and patient acquisition.

JOIN US IN PERSON OR ON ZOOM TO BUILD YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS

We have a hybrid meeting each and every Wednesday morning starting at 7:15am. Join us for an action-packed hour of fun and learning. If you want to attend via Zoom, please contact the meeting Organizer, Janice for the link At a typical meeting, we have 2-3 prepared speeches from members. Speakers get candid, constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement. We will also practice answering impromptu questions during the Table Topics section of our meeting. Ever been tongue-tied when your boss asked you a question in a meeting? Table topics is a great way to practice the skills of thinking and speaking on the fly. Great conversations happen after the meeting too! Join members for breakfast after the meeting, if you have the time.
