Membership Benefits

The help you need behind the scenes of your business

You might have joined a business group expecting valuable help, only to encounter a spammy referral network filled with self-promotion or a program with companies too large to relate to your challenges. Alternatively, a coaching program might have left you overwhelmed without offering clear guidance on how to apply it in the real world.
In contrast, the Small Business Owners Community offers genuine support where members share practical experience and feedback, acting as a personal support team for your business.

We’re a membership where you can be yourself, share honest feedback and learn from others' experience.

We have real conversations about sales, pricing, marketing, motivation, risk, success and disappointment. These thought-provoking conversations will get you the experience you need to solve your toughest problems.

And, you’ll quickly build relationships that will stop the silent killer of small businesses: isolation. Join us to feel the “co-worker effect” as our members quickly deliver a sense of belonging so you’re no longer building your small business all by yourself.

The Idea Collective Small Business Incubator

How It Started

The Small Business Owners Community (SBOC) launched on June 1, 2020 as a place of support and guidance for small business owners. By connecting entrepreneurs during the pandemic on zoom, we helped countless small business owners survive and thrive through a critical period.

How It's Going

Times are changing for small business owners and we’re ready to help you get what you need today.

We are in a critical time of disruption in the workforce. This disruption is driven by AI technology and its reshaping our ability to work, deliver value, and satisfy ever-increasing client expectations. With this disruption, we’ve built a program that will lead participants to remodel how they work, who they serve, and how they measure success.

SBOC Pro is a true place of transformation and collaboration to address this crucial opportunity and leverage our future. SBOC Pro takes our community model from a helpful resource hub to a high-accountability community program centered around a bold, measurable outcome:

Helping small business owners earn the freedom of time and money—starting with Fridays Off.

Why Now?

  • 9 of 10 Small Business Owners are already using AI (Intuit)

    We need to master this technology along with delegation to earn freedom of time.

  • 89% of Small Businesses are not charging enough for their services (Profisy)

    We’re leaving thousands on the table by literally selling ourselves short

  • Global trials of “Fridays Off” show up to 67% less burnout and 52% more productivity.

    (4 Day Week Global pilot program ‘22-23)

Imagine if you were more engaged and doing better work each week?

We’re not chasing a trend. We’re responding to a broken reality—one where business owners are burned out, overcommitted, and still underpaid.

Inside SBOC, we believe:
You will succeed if you surround yourself with the right people to keep going when things get hard – because It’s Your Dream, Don’t Grow It Alone.

Inside SBOC Pro, we believe:
This is a once in a generation opportunity to redefine how we work. Time is compensation and Fridays Off is the new status symbol for outstanding small business owners who run a great business.

A 24×7 vetted online community for business owners who understand your journey and are ready to collaborate with you.

Live, interactive meetings to solve problems, capture opportunities & get stuff done.

Special quarterly events designed to improve your productivity and connect you with small business thought leaders – previous guests include Seth Godin, Mel Robbins, Mike Michalowicz, Dan Martell, and more.
