Small Business Academy

The Small Business Academy is not what you might expect. There are no lessons, no classrooms, no talking heads telling you what to do, no theory, no MBA-speak.

The Small Business Academy is 3 things.

It is a list of projects that guides you step by step to creating a highly-profitable, effortless business.

It is an online space with other small business owners just like you, working on the same projects as you, in their business. Join in the discussions; ask questions and give answers.

It is a treasure trove of curated resources. What you need when you need it. Just in time, not just in case.

Be helpful. Be courteous. Be present. Be engaged.

Are you starting or growing a business? Are you feeling overwhelmed, not knowing what to do, when and in what order? You have come to the right place.

After being a serial entrepreneur and working with 100s of small business owners, I know a few things about you:

  • You learn best by doing.
  • You don’t have the patience to wade through long lessons.
  • You’re not interested in theory, you want to work on your business.
  • You want to hear the stories of how other small business owners like you solved the very problems you are working on.
  • You know the whole world is changing and that means opportunity for you. It also means that what worked in the past may not work in the future, so you are open to new ways of doing things.

Every week I post the next Project. You are welcome to work on it here, ask questions in the comments, answer questions in the comments and let us know how you are doing.
