Welcome to Edgewater EducationEdgewater Education Founder CEOCash Flow and Employee Retention Program

We Didn't Build This Just to Get By.

Small Business is the Backbone of Our Economy.
It's time we got treated like it.

Built by small business owners, for small business owners. We started with the problem — and built the solution for YOU. This is where the market becomes your business partner.

Built by small business. Designed for small business.

You've been carrying the weight the system was never built to support.

Every year takes a little more. Your time. Your margin. Your energy. You've shown up when the road got rough — and still the returns don't match the sacrifice.

When good people leave, everything suffers — your culture, your cash flow, your future. Employee retention isn't just an HR problem — it's a business survival problem, and it deserves a real solution. That's exactly what this program delivers.

You took the risk. You built the foundation.
Now it's time the strategy finally matches the sacrifice.

Beyond the Program

The Room Is the Product.

Participants here are not called students. They are partners. They step into a room of like-minded founders who share ideas, build affiliations, and create opportunities that no course could manufacture.

 

Small business is the backbone of the economy. When driven founders find each other — armed with the right tools, strategy, and vision — the value of that room becomes unlimited.

What Our Small Business Move Makers Are Saying
Founders · Partners · Affiliates
“This is different! Too often, programs claim they will solve all of a business’ problems with one simple solution. Edgewater’s system approaches it differently, recognizing that hard work and dedication are required to enable my company to realize its desired successes. By teaching me and my leadership how to maximize our efforts, minimize the downturns and make the market our partner, Edgewater has opened new avenues and opportunities. As the founder and CEO of my company, the passion I bring to our company has been reenergized, as additional capital helps minimize my concerns. Thank you Tom, Earl and team!!”
JEFF
Business Partner
“As a small business owner in the world of commercial real estate, there are many times when cash flow is a huge issue. My deals come sporadically like most real estate broker experience. With the Founder /CEO program, I am able to navigate my cashflow issues more readily with a peace of mind that was never there in the past – and that is with just a couple of the strategies in the Founder CEO program. As I learn more, my future looks brighter and more stable than I could have ever imagined it being in real estate. This program has changed my mind set and the profitability of my business! Thank you to Tom and Team for helping all of us in the small business world that need cash and comfort to make it to the our next deals!!!”
Barry
Real Estate
“The CAGR approach changed how I think about growth entirely. Compounding isn’t just for Wall Street — it’s for us too.”
Dena
Small Business Owner
“I have been a small business owner for over 35 years. During that time, there were several periods of financial distress where I had to personally loan money to keep my business afloat. That would never have been the case if I had this cash flow system. Applying the concepts from both the Foundations and CAGR Trade now gives me the additional cash flow to protect my business — and increase my employees’ bonuses.”
Mimi
Small Business Owner & Investor
“The partnerships module opened doors I didn’t even know existed. I’ve built more meaningful business relationships in this program than in the last five years combined.”
Michael
Partner & Affiliate
“I came in skeptical and left with a cash flow strategy, a retention plan, and a network of people who are serious about building something real. This program doesn’t just teach — it transforms.”

The Program — Your Path Forward
1
Module 1 · Developing the Founder CEO Mindset
Before the Strategy — The Shift in How You See Yourself
This is where it starts — not with a trade, but with an identity shift. You stop operating like someone who just works for the business and start leading like the Founder CEO of your own financial future.
Most Founder CEOs carry the weight alone — payroll, growth, family, and every decision landing on their desk. Before you learn a single strategy, you learn to see yourself differently. It's the mental shift that makes everything after it possible.
This is the foundation everything else is built on.

Module 2 · Foundations Course
Learning the Languages of the Markets
Stop guessing. Start learning the languages of the markets and use them as a business tool — not a gamble.
Discover how to read market movement, understand trading language, and apply those mechanics directly to your cash flow strategy. The market doesn't have to be intimidating.
This is your first step to making the market your business partner.

Module 3 · The CAGR Trade
Compound Annual Growth Rate — Your New Benchmark
Developed by Francine Migue — a strategic approach to growing cash flow with compounding precision.
The CAGR Trade is a disciplined, systematic approach to options trading built around growth-rate thinking. Learn to let time and compounding work for you — not against you — as a real cash flow engine.

Module 4 · Partnerships & Affiliations
This Is Where the Magic Happens.
Like-minded builders, strategic partners, and affiliate connections — brought together with one purpose: to strengthen the backbone.
This is the most powerful module in the program. When driven founders find each other, the game changes. Through curated partnerships, affiliate expansions, and a community who refuse to settle — you stop building alone. This is where relationships become revenue and vision becomes legacy.
