Have you ever felt isolated in your entrepreneurial journey and wished for a network of like-minded individuals to connect with?
Are you committed to learning, challenging yourself, and improving your business strategy, systems, processes, and possibly your marketing and sales?
Are you a solo entrepreneur or small business owner looking to grow and develop your business with expert guidance and a supportive community?
Do any (maybe all) of these questions resonate with you? These are some of the reasons why I am excited to pilot a new offer—Spark Good Collective: A Community of Business Owners Who Make A Difference.
This program has grown out of consistent needs I see with many entrepreneurs…
the need to get out of isolation
the need for more ongoing support
the need to stop spinning wheels
the need for accountability (especially when it comes to sticking with a plan)
✨This is a small group of committed entrepreneurs and small business owners, dedicated to personal and professional development.
✨I will bring my expertise in small business strategy, marketing, and leadership development as well as my experience in group facilitation to lead this group.
✨In our first meeting we will go over your goals and focus on the goals for the current month and commit to monthly actions. Ongoing meetings will offer opportunities to deep dive on business topics, to take turns in the ‘spotlight’ to discuss business challenges (mastermind style) and to check-in and be held accountable to your committed actions.
✨I will be accessible outside of meeting times for monthly 1:1 30-minute meetings and via email.
Key Details
There will be up to 8 entrepreneurs/small business owners
Two 90-min virtual group meetings per month total to provide support, guidance and accountability. Meetings will be held on ZOOM on the first and third Tuesday of the month, 9-10:30AM.
One 30-min 1:1 virtual meetings per month with me (one per month). You will be given a link to schedule these meetings so that they can fit best with your schedule.
Stay connected and get support in between meetings: Enjoy access to our exclusive private area on my website – intended to be a platform to engage and share resources and ideas in between meetings. It will also be where we keep all of the recordings from our meetings. If you have to miss a meeting you can easily ‘catch up’ by viewing a recording.
An initial 3- month commitment is required.
Price
The introductory price is $275/month for three months*
You can choose to pay in full upfront or you can keep your card on file and have an auto-pay each month for three months.
If you need an alternate payment plan, I am open to working together on it.
*By taking advantage of this introductory pricing, you are guaranteed this monthly price through the end of 2024 should you want to continue in the group after the first three months.

All of our meetings will be virtual. While I love in-person, I recognize that a virtual meeting can be a lot easier for more people to attend. Fortunately, I have had a lot of experience with virtual meetings and know that we will be able to have intimate and powerful meetings virtually too!

What others are saying:
While this is a new offer, I have ample experience facilitating groups, coaching groups and individuals and consulting about business strategy. Here are some of the comments people have shared about their experiences in other groups I have led:
(What I enjoyed the most was) listening to and talking about the challenges of entrepreneurship and hearing about how others go about making and living with imperfect decisions.
I really REALLY enjoyed these sessions. They were very helpful for me and I think they really helped me forge deep relationships with the other (members). The last session where we affirmed each other was one of the most powerful moments I've experienced in my professional life. You do such a good job of providing room for individuals to talk about what they feel they need to talk about and, when necessary, you do a very good job of subtly and politely bringing focus back to a topic when we start to veer off course. That kind of facilitation requires a delicate touch and I deeply appreciate your ability to strike that balance in realtime.
Just thank you so much for your support in this holistic approach.
I loved the vulnerability, the humanness, and the way we all center ourselves beyond what we do and what we are. People come alive a little more and that is always a joy to see. Even on the not so bright days, I still cherished the warmth that is present amongst us.
