Who This Is For

Built for owners who are done treading water.

This program is for small business owners in Bloomington who feel the gap between how hard they work and how little seems to change.

  • Working hard but not seeing consistent, predictable growth
  • Overwhelmed by competing priorities with no clear direction
  • Solving the same problems over and over again
  • Too deep in day-to-day operations to see the bigger picture

"We are currently selecting the 8 businesses for the January cohort. This is a working group, not a course — every session is built around your actual business."

Motti & Fer, Program Facilitators
Why This Approach Works

Effort isn't the problem. Direction is.

Most business owners don't lack drive. They have energy going into the wrong places. This program helps you stop treating symptoms and start addressing root causes.

You'll work inside a selective cohort of eight — small enough for real honesty, structured enough for real progress.

What the Summer 2026 cohort is saying

“

I’m no longer nervous about discovery conversations or selling. Right before a meeting, I realized I wasn’t anxious — I knew what I wanted to say. That meeting produced exactly the outcome we’d planned for.

“

Coming in, I was overwhelmed. Having the insight to untangle my business gave me so much clarity. The accountability was by far the best benefit — a weekly check-in that gave me real motivation to follow through.

Lisa  ·  Creative Entrepreneur, Bloomington, IN
“

The biggest change was knowing my business’s worth — and advocating for my prices, my value, and my brand. I made real partners in small business, and I finally feel like I can stand up for what I’ve built.
