Harness Your Restlessness
Acton is not for the faint of heart. You’ll face challenges that require courage, grit, and a never-give-up attitude. You’ll be put to the test day and night. When you finish at Acton, you’ll have already faced the brutal questions that real entrepreneurs face everyday in life and business. And you will join an elite corps of individuals—the Acton community of scholars who have mastered the habits that lead to success and who see the invisible patterns that bring strong companies to life.
Our Program
Training by Entrepreneurs, for Entrepreneurs
Our teachers aren’t theory-driven academics. They’re successful entrepreneurs who started small. Through trial, error and perseverance, they have grown their businesses into a combined $4.5 billion and counting. And when they arrive each day to serve you, they bring with them hard-won lessons from the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the business world.
Our Teachers
More than Just the Bottom Line
Character is destiny
We believe that clear thinking leads to good decisions, that good decisions lead to the right habits, that the right habits lead to character, and that character becomes destiny.
Called to change the world
We believe that each Acton scholar can change the world in a profound way.
Doing is learning
We believe in learning by doing. Our entrepreneur-teachers use the case method to help you develop the habits, judgment, and character of a master entrepreneur.
Clarity and competition
We believe that clear contracts and a competitive grading system encourage the perspective, discipline, and accountability required to run a successful business.
Individual responsibility
We believe in economic, political, and religious liberty. We are dedicated to graduating entrepreneurs who have a strong sense of individual responsibility and a willingness to invest in a healthy civil society.
Living a meaningful life
We believe in building profitable businesses, but know that living a meaningful life is much more important.
