- A circle of owners you can call when you're stuck
Who it's for
Any business owner who is ready to invest in themselves, at any stage. If you want steady customers and a business that doesn't depend on you for everything, this is your seat.
What we ask
- Come to at least six of the seven sessions
- Do your one action each week
- Keep what's shared in the room, and don't sell to other members
