You Don't Have To Learn The Hard Way.
We believe that a better future depends on a small business revolution. Join us!
What is it?
Small Business, Big Picture (SBBP) began as a series of ten classes for the current or aspiring small business owner, regardless of the age of their business. In Summer 2023, we made the decision to shift to a subscription/membership model in order to make information more financially accessible.
Learn from fashion industry professional Amanda Lee McCarty and successful vintage business owner Courtney Rolnick (Sonic Wave Vintage) as they share best practices around pricing, day-to-day operations, marketing and so much more. The goal of SBBP? Fostering small business with a goal of redistributing wealth from a small number of huge corporations to a thriving network of hundreds of thousands small businesses.
Monthly membership includes one class session from the SBBP curriculum (including homework and a workbook), one session on a related topic, and a third virtual member hangout/best practices sharing session. All sessions take place via Zoom and are recorded for members to watch again on their own time.
