How would you rate how supportive your family, friends, or spouse are with your small business?Gulp. So, like, if you had to rate it on a scale of 1–10 (10 is SUPPORTIVE AF... and 1 is...well...not very supportive at all)How would you answer?Here’s a hint:If you don’t know, just take a peek at your bank account.The amount of support you receive from others is directly reflected in the progress you see in business. (Sad but true.)And as you can guess, it’s pretty hard to grow a business (aka make more money) when you’re on a lonely island, doing it all on your own, without people around you who get it or encourage you or support you to dream even bigger. Finding the right community of supportive and caring individuals is challenging. (And FYI, talking with small business owners at a market who constantly complain is NOT “community.”)But... finding the RIGHT, support community will change how you view yourself and how you view business… which impacts how you show up and the results that you see.AND I’m gonna show you a shortcut to finding YOUR community. Introducing…PBA LIVE: A 2-day in person event in Scottsdale, Arizona that happens only once a year and for Product Biz Academy members ONLY.This isn’t one of those awkward networking events where you hope and pray you’ll find something in common with the person standing next to you before you make an awkward exit to try and find someone else to talk to, and before you know it you’re leaving even LESS motivated than you arrived because you STILL haven’t found “YOUR PEOPLE”.No. This is a 2-day in person event for PBA Members ONLY. So that you get a chance to meet the people you see on PBA Zoom calls, the people you interact with in the PBA Members Only Community, and the people you’ve gotten to know and support online… with a chance to connect even further in person.But this isn’t a 2-day networking opportunity. It’s much more.PBA Live is a one-of-a-kind event to help you grow your business in ways that will drastically change the trajectory of your business.You'll walk away inspired, motivated, with a new level of confidence, ready to take action with so much more clarity in your business... and with new business best friends from the PBA community that you finally get to meet in person.Our 2 days together will install an entirely new program of money, abundance, and success into your life.And here’s the best part...I want to give you a ticket to PBA LIVE (a $997 value), absolutely FREE!This is my gift to you TODAY (and today only) when you say YES to yourself and your future by joining us inside Product Biz Academy before Midnight Pacific TONIGHT.Our next PBA LIVE transformational event is in Scottsdale, Arizona in March 2026 (which is right around the corner if you want to believe it or not). And if for some reason you can’t make it to the March 2026 PBA LIVE, your FREE ticket when you enroll in PBA today will be applicable for the following year’s event. I’ve got you covered because I DON’T want you to miss this life changing event.AND, you can’t get a ticket to PBA LIVE ANY other way… and for years I have had random small business owners ask me if they can buy a ticket to attend this event and I always tell them that it’s exclusive for PBA members ONLY… so don’t sleep on this. This bonus disappears at 11:59pm Pacific TONIGHT!Enroll in PBA now at https://www.monicalittlecoaching.com/promo
