About Small Business Owners Community
The Small Business Owners Community is a $9 a month group where owners figure out what to do next, together. It's for the person who signs the checks, solo or a team of twenty. Every Thursday at the Idea Slam, one owner brings a real problem with a real number on it and the group works it live. Founded June 2020 by Pat Miller, host of Businessing, the daily show for small business owners.
