Welcome to the Start Something Studio Community for small business owners and entrepreneurs in the Fox Valley

welcome to the

Start Something Community

Entrepreneurship is often lonely, but frankly, we’re tired of this being the norm! This is why we’ve created the Start Something Community.

The Start Something Community is a space for sharing and collaborating – a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who get it. It’s a non-competitive community where we will celebrate your successes and help you from being too hard on yourself. It’s full of people you can turn to when you need to talk something through or are looking for a tech recommendation.

Consider a Studio Membership to be like a fitness pass… for your business

People typically purchase gym memberships or fitness passes when they want to set aside time to work on their bodies. Gyms may have equipment you might not have at home and gym rat inspiration around every corner. There can also be a sense of camaraderie you won’t get by going on a solo walk at lunchtime. A gym membership allows you to commit to setting aside time to focus on YOU.

We hear you saying, “well, duh.” 😉

Nobody questions the need for a gym membership but our question for you, fellow small business owner, is how often do you set aside time to focus on YOUR BUSINESS beyond surviving the day-to-day?

A Studio Membership is like a fitness pass for your business. Our goal is to encourage you to set aside time to regularly work on a small (or big!) aspect of your business. Come on in and work in a group setting while getting encouragement and advice from peers and learning from experts. Whether you fine tune something you’ve been working on or learn a new skill, we want you to take your business to the next level.

Start Something Studio - Fitness for your business

We have lots of tables, chairs, and couches, but you’re totally welcome to bring a yoga mat to our Studio, if you prefer.
