Wondering how the Biz Journey Momentum Studio can help you and your business?
Here are 12 Great Reasons to Join the Momentum Studio
Membership is just $20/month
Local businesses are the lifeblood of communities. They support families, build connections, serve needs. They’re creative outlets and mentally energizing.
And, they can be challenging.
That’s why we’re on a mission to go beyond the typical business coaching, mastermind, or networking community. We’re blending the best of all those worlds to help owners thrive, and making it more human with the addition of:
practical guidance, readily available and affordable, from seasoned business owners and leaders,
truly useful resources and training
all held together with connected, supportive, business owner members.
Here are 12 great reasons you’ll want to join us:
#1 Right Priorities. Right Now.
“I’m always solving problems, but I’m not sure they’re the ones I should be tackling first.”
Your quarterly one-on-one consultation helps you step back from the daily demands and identify what matters most right now. Instead of reacting to whichever problem is loudest, you can put your limited time and energy toward the work most likely to move your business forward. Check in at office hours or meetups, or schedule a one-on-one followup with one of our mentors (yes, added private consults have an extra cost, but the focus and experience you’ll benefit from delivers very high value).
#2 More Consistent Sales.
“I’m great at what I do, but selling it feels awkward—and my months are feast or famine.”
When you want it, we’re here with practical sales guidance to help you strengthen how you present, price and promote what you offer.
Bring your challenges, opportunities, and questions to our experts at any of the sessions open and available to you as a member:
Twice-weekly Office Hours via Google Meet
Twice-weekly Owner’s Table meetups in person or via Zoom
At your scheduled quarterly one-on-one consultation.
We’ll help you build a more repeatable approach to finding opportunities and turning conversations into customers—giving you a better foundation for more consistent revenue.
#3 Marketing Guided by a Clear Plan.
Define your goals and outline your strategy during your quarterly private consultation. Take the marketing self-assessment “The Beacon Blueprint “ (provided by our marketing partners at Beacon Creative Lab). Bring your reality check questions to Office Hours, to your peers at the Owner’s Table, or in our chat channel.
You’ll better understand which efforts deserve your attention—and which ones you can stop doing.
And as you take action to close the gaps and drop ineffective tactics, you’ll not only see better results, you’ll feel more at ease in the owner’s seat… and discover that marketing with a plan can actually be kind of fun!
“My marketing feels like a collection of random activities. I’m posting, but I don’t know what’s actually working.”
#4 Visibility and Credibility Building.
“I know my business needs to be more visible, but it feels challenging, and costly, to create the resources and get that type of PR.”
Your professionally recorded and edited video interview—with a transcript—gives you useful content for your website, social media, email marketing and other channels. It is also shared through The Biz Journey’s channels, helping more local people understand who you are, what you do and why it matters.
You’ll also receive a full-page listing in our Business Directory. Add your logo, photo, and business details, all your online social and business links, photos of your work (if relevant), post reviews, FAQs. Link to up to 5 of your most valuable outside resources (e.g., downloads, blogs, videos).
All these visibility elements helps provide 3rd-party credibility for your business as AI tools (and people) scour the web for cross-referencing sources.
#5 Focused Time for Important Work.
“It seems like the work that would really move my business forward never makes it off my list.”
Twice-weekly office hours include breakout rooms for dedicated co-working. So hop on the call, work in undisturbed peace, knowing you can also tap into your mentors if you get stuck on how to get that stalled idea rolling, figure out how to make Canva do that thing you have in mind, or come up with the last social post.
Give that important work a standing appointment. You have a team to hold you accountable, and dedicated time to step away from daily interruptions so you can make progress.
#6 Help When You’re Stuck.
“I can lose an entire afternoon trying to solve something that someone else could probably answer in ten minutes.”
While we can’t promise to be your on-call personal assistant — at least not yet! — with twice-weekly office hours, a quarterly consultation and support from the mentors and peers in your new private community, you’ll have a full “village” ready and willing to help, so you don’t have to stay stuck or solve every problem alone.
You can ask questions, talk through obstacles and get practical input before a small issue consumes your week.
#7 More Confident Decision-Making.
“Every big decision lands on me, and I can spend weeks second-guessing myself.”
An experienced outside perspective is the secret weapon behind countless entrepreneurs’ success. Let us be that resource for you, helping coach you through your options, support your thinking process so you can actually spot what you might be missing — and weigh the real tradeoffs.
You remain in control of the decision with no pressure from your mentors—but you no longer have to make it in a vacuum.
#8 People Who Get to Know Your Business.
“I’ve joined programs that forgot about me the minute I signed up.”
The Biz Journey is on a mission to help members become known—not disappear into a crowd!
We’re here for the long haul. And even better, over time other local owners get to know and love, your business and what you’re working toward, too. This creates more meaningful support, introductions, referrals and opportunities to collaborate.
Our fundamental belief is that when business owners do what they love, they’re happier and bring more of that vibe to their community… which in turn makes the community, and that piece of the world, a better and brighter place.
Membership is just $20/month
#9 Tech Without the Overwhelm.
“Technology and AI are moving so quickly that I feel behind—and I don’t know which tools are worth my time.”
Bring your questions and wishes to one of the live sessions, or drop them into the tech chat channel.
You’ll get practical guidance on which tools make sense for a business your size, for your needs, and how they can help and what you can safely ignore. Now, instead of chasing every new platform, you can focus on technology that saves time, solves a real problem or helps you serve customers better.
#10 Real Accountability (if you want it).
“Nobody notices when I let my own goals slide… so they do!”
Regular check-ins at Owner’s Table and/or Office Hours, as well as those quarterly consults provide valuable opportunities to reconnect with your priorities and make it harder for important goals to quietly disappear beneath the week’s urgent demands.
Want someone to hold you to deliverables? Ask us for a weekly check-in message. We’ll have your back.
And regular attendees know that the relationships they have within the community can be just the thing you need to help you keep moving and accountable—even when day-to-day business gets busy.
#11 A Trusted Place to Speak Openly
“I don’t have many places where I can be honest about the ups and downs of owning a business.”
The private member community gives you a place to talk about what’s working, what isn’t and what you’re still figuring out. You can exchange ideas and receive thoughtful support from fellow owners and team members who understand the responsibility you carry.
In order to hold each of us to a high standard, everyone associated with The Biz Journey Momentum Studio, including members, must commit to follow the principles of the Four Way Test, borrowed from the global service organization, Rotary International (of which both our founders, Wendy and Bruce, are members):
Of the things we think, say, and do:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
#12 A Business That Depends Less on You
Guidance on operations and scaling is critical for taking your business to any level of expansion.
Let’s be clear: if doing all the work yourself serves your goals and lifestyle, there is NOTHING wrong with that! It’s still a “real business” no matter what anyone tells you. It’s your business and you can build whatever you’d like.
For many, however, the grind of wearing every hat — no matter how small — can drain your energy, time, and even your wallet. You only have so much time in the day. Bring your challenges and dreams to Office Hours, Owner’s Table and your quarterly consult.
We’ll help you create simpler processes, capture what currently lives only in your head and identify work that can be delegated or streamlined. Little by little, your business can become less dependent on your constant involvement.
“If I step away, everything stops.”
