It’s always the people. I had the opportunity to have deep conversations, many which changed the trajectory of my business and life, this past weekend. Invest in people - and that includes you. It’s the greatest ROI you’ll ever get.

Think about it. There’s tons of help out there for people just getting started. By the time you’re making millions you’ll have a big team. But right now, you’re making big decisions and important choices to shape your future success and you’re probably doing all of that by yourself. This conference and community is focused on those of you that know how to make money - but now you need help learning how to take your business from "started" to SUCCESSFUL.
At the SBOC Conference, we’re not only going to address the real issues you are facing on a daily basis, we’re also going to surround you with a collaborative community of give-first entrepreneurs that want to walk with you on your journey. No spammy offers, no sharky connections…real small business owners that believe in collaboration over competition.
And, to make sure that you’re not lost in the crowd, we’re capping the number of guests that can attend so every attendee gets time to feel seen, heard and connected so our guests become connections. The 2024 conference will be capped at 300 guests.
You’ll be plugged into a vibrant community of small business owners. Meet new people, share ideas and experiences, and build lasting relationships - the ones you truly need to navigate your small business journey and help your business grow. Forge partnerships, exchange ideas, and build friendships that extend beyond the conference walls.
Gain invaluable insights from a lineup of speakers who have walked in your shoes and emerged victorious. Our sessions cover crucial topics like sales, audience growth, mindset, effective marketing strategies, and leveraging the latest digital tools such as AI and automation, all tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by small businesses.
Return to your business with a clear action plan and renewed vigor. Our focused sessions and collaborative environment will equip you with both the inspiration and the strategies needed to accelerate your business growth.
Participate in our new “SBOC Awards” event - a special awards ceremony that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of small business owners like you. We will also enjoy our Celebration Dinner gala for you to raise a glass and reflect on all you’ve achieved in the past year. This isn’t just an event; it’s a recognition of your hard work and a chance to shine among your peers.

I love the Idea Collective Small Business Community for so many reasons, but this week the Idea Slam is my favorite one. Recently, a dozen small business owners rallied around me to help me mastermind a name to clarify my proprietary business process! I've been brainstorming for months, but couldn't nail it down to something I could get excited about.I brought this challenge to the Idea Slam, and this community helped me create something meaningful in 10 minutes! There is so much power in like-minded people cheering each other on and helping each other navigate the struggles of entrepreneurship. It's truly special.
