Description:
Being a business owner comes with its own set of challenges—and rewards—that can be hard to explain to people who haven’t lived it.
Whether it’s the pressure of making payroll, the thrill of landing a new client, or the quiet weight of being the final decision-maker, ownership brings a unique perspective.
This group is for current business owners who want to connect with others who get it. It’s a space to share ideas, talk shop, trade notes, and support each other through the highs and lows that come with running a business.
No pitches, no posturing, no ego—just good conversations and sharing with people who understand what it’s like to carry the whole thing on your shoulders.
Rules
1. No Soliciting or Pitching
This is strictly pitch-free/solicitation-free group. First offense gets a polite reminder; second offense, a polite goodbye.
2. Advice by Invitation Only
Offer insights only if someone asks. Unsolicited advice, even with good intentions, can crowd out open dialogue.
3. Give More Than You Take
Share generously, contribute thoughtfully, and focus on helping others grow.
4. Confidentiality & Respect
Keep discussions private, respect differing views, and aim for honesty without ego.
