Want to Buy or Sell a Business?
I am a business broker. I help my clients buy or sell a business at the best price possible and as quickly as possible.
During our one-on-one private meeting, I will give you clear and concise answers to common questions like: Why do 75% of small businesses never sell? What happens to that 90% of an owner's total net worth that is tied up in the business? What does the buyer want as part of a transaction? What is my business worth? How long will it take to sell my business? What can I do to improve the value of my business and make it easier to sell? What are the benefits of using a business broker? What are the main steps in the actual buy/sell process? If you want the answers to these and other questions, sign up for my video conference!

Pro Referral Networking Women's Group
“I track my success to the people I know and can reach quickly. My business would not be possible without the quality of my personal network. “
-Dale Carnegie
Here's what you will get:
Access to the top female entrepreneurs in the South Bay.
This group is women's only, but we have many other groups that are for men as well.
Here's how it works:
This select group meets each week to reconnect with the sole purpose of supporting each others businesses - specifically to give warm referrals.
We give leads that are from highly trusted sources within our group of long term members.
Here's what I want you to do next:
Apply for the group on the link below. We will review your application and discuss it with the group to see if it is a good fit.
The goal is to find entrepreneurs who are hungry to grow. You don't have to have a huge business, only the fierce burning desire to connect with South Bay businesses.
We help you do this by offering tools to scale your business, implement new growth strategies, connect with subject matter experts and get your high level questions answered.
Each week we meet to go over what we learned the previous week.
You will meet the same people each week, get to know them and understand their business.
This is an intimate setting for CEO's and business owners to get referrals, learn new information and get moral support.
The CEO's journey can be lonely, this is a place to regroup and recharge.
We are all supporting each other go grow our businesses, and the synergy created is greater than you could do alone.
At the end of the meeting you will have a dozen new friends, ideas that will give your business a spark, and possibly new referrals that will be ideal for your business.
Who knows, you may even get a million dollar idea, which is what Colleen had when she started this group.

Whether you are a business owner, or you want to be a business owner, or you are an employee or volunteer, if you want to launch something new, join us here in Denver any Friday from 2:30 to 4 p.m. the hard workers can then return to their work, others can take off early for the weekend.
If you or any of your associates are visiting Denver, be sure to visit us. If you like the meeting we can help them start something similar in your hometown in cooperation with their local chamber or service club and community newspaper. We say it's 1X because if we are successful you will be too busy to come back the next week!
_________________________________________________
WE need your help to help YOU!
Starting now each Online IDEA Circle will be NEW, we will keep it fresh by using the dynamic Socrates Cafe format (thanks Chris Phillips), but limiting the focus to topics having to do with startup, a one time meeting where anyone can bring their startup problems and opportunities for a Fresh Thought Hunt (FTH,) for more about FTH see the HBR Press book "Just Start."
We start and end with a meeting of the whole, the Fresh Thought Hunt itself will take place in groups of 3 through the magic of computer science. RSVP here now to make sure we save a seat for you.
'
The NEW IDEA Circle is free and open to anyone and everyone who is starting something new, a new business prior to the first sale, or an established business or an individual who wants to start in a new direction. The only requirement is a clear statement of what you want the Fresh Thought Hunt to focus on for you.
The first 10-minutes of each NEW IDEA Circle will be recorded and will be posted on our YouTube Channel for SBCC that has been inactive from it's founding long ago. (On YouTube search for Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc. or via Facebook/SmallBizChamber.)
We encourage each of our SBCC fellow members to join us at a Socrates Cafe Online, Fridays, Saturdays, 1st Sundays, and Tuesdays, 6:30 p.m. Denver time, 8:30 p.m. Eastern, 5:30 p.m. Pacific, suggest the topic of startup or whatever topic might help you the most, and to eventually form a similar Socrates Cafe and New IDEA Cafe in your local library, coffee shop, or other public meeting place with the sponsorship of one of your local chambers of commerce and your local community newspaper. For more see our Facebook Page via www.SmallBizChamber.org and "Visit Group" to join while it's still free.
Once you have started a Socrates Cafe or a NEW IDEA Circle, you will be invited to JOIN OUR NEW SBCC WREN COLLEGE and a FACULTY PEER GROUP, see https://WrenCollege.org for online application for being a faculty member and a student, and to request help starting your new Socrates Cafe. Questions about this are answered each week at our Monday Noon Newcomers workshop.
____________________________________________
We encourage you to: Watch one; Lead one; Start one!
Be a startup catalyst for your community by starting an IDEA Cafe with your local community newspaper.
Starting in a new direction? No matter what you want to start, a new career, a new project or campaign, or a new business, we can help you start faster, cheaper, and with less risk.
The Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc. and our free, open meetings and peer groups are inspired by the clubs that formed in London during the English civil war that resulted in Sir Christopher Wren giving the first talk in a Franklin Circle type meeting that eventually became the Royal Academy.

If you are a non-technical person with an idea for an app, you’re probably looking for a technical co-founder to help you build the app.
However, you can launch a tech startup by outsourcing code!
In the early days of your startup it can be challenging to attract a technical co-founder to build your app. But by knowing how to efficiently outsource the building of your MVP and gain some traction, you can de-risk the opportunity for the tech person and change the conversation from "I Need You" to "Here's an Opportunity".
In this webinar, the speaker will discuss the best way to outsource the development of your app, including:
1) Why outsourcing may be the best way to find a technical co-founder
2) Outsourcing best practices
3) How not get ripped off in the process
and more!

Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison.
Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are.
Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
Sip & Read: *Founder Edition* Meetup: Book/Venue TBD
Calling all founders, CEOs, lawyers, doctors, and entrepreneurs to join our special *Founder Edition* of Sip & Read meetup event. Let's sip on fine wine and discuss our first book **The 5AM Club- Own Your Morning Elevate Your Life, by Robin Sharma**. We will pair this book with our favorite wine at **Wine on High** and engage in thought-provoking discussions on startup businesses and entrepreneurship, and network with like-minded individuals in a cozy book club setting.
Come prepared to discuss this month's book. At the end of each book club meeting, we will take next book and venue suggestions from the participants for the next meeting.
Whether you are a book lover, women entrepreneur, or a content creator, this event is perfect for sharing ideas and insights with other funders and founders in the entrepreneurial world. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together. Sign up now to reserve your spot!
*Fun fact! This meetup was established in 2015 and had over 1,000 members. I had to shut down operations while attending law school, but we're back!!*
Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
