I am thrilled to announce that SmallBizLadyAcademy.com is officially open for business! After months of development, careful planning, and listening to the needs of my loyal women business owner, we’ve launched a platform designed to help you take your business to the next level. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced business owner looking to scale, SmallBizLady Academy is your go-to resource for expert guidance, community support, and all the tools you need to succeed.

In this post, I’ll walk you through the key features of the SmallBizLady Academy and why you should consider joining this dynamic community of boss chicks. I’ll also explain how this platform can help you sharpen your skills and grow your business faster than ever before.

What is SmallBizLadyAcademy.com?

SmallBizLady Academy is an online membership platform designed specifically for women business owners looking to start or grow. It’s a place where business owners can come together to learn, grow, and share your journeys. Whether you’re looking to start a business, grow an existing one, or simply need professional advice we’ve got you covered with practical training, expert coaching, and a supportive community.

We offer two membership levels, each designed to meet the unique needs of different stages of entrepreneurship:

  1. How to Start ($47/month): Perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs who are in the idea phase or just getting started. 
  2. Ready to Grow ($97/month): Ideal for those who are looking to scale their business and build sustainable growth.

Right now, if you join as a founding member, you can join for a discounted rate, that you’ll enjoy for life as long as you stay a member. At each level, you’ll have access to a range of valuable resources and benefits, including masterclasses, coaching, a robust resource library, and a community of like-minded women all striving to have happy lives and run great businesses.

Why We Built SmallBizLady Academy

Since I became the SmallBizLady, 16 years ago, I have been driven by a mission to End Small Business Failure.  As a passionate advocate for women entrepreneurs, I’ve spent years helping women just like you launch and grow small businesses through my blog, books, and coaching programs. However, it became clear that there was a growing need for a dedicated space where women business leaders could receive ongoing support and personalized guidance.

Starting a business can be overwhelming. There are endless decisions to make, and the pressure to succeed can sometimes feel like a heavy burden. But when you have the right resources and a strong community backing you, the journey becomes much more manageable—and even enjoyable.

That’s where SmallBizLady Academy comes in. We designed this platform to provide you with everything you need in one place, from business strategy and financial planning to marketing advice and personal development.

What Can You Expect at SmallBizLadyAcademy.com?

Now that we’ve officially launched, let’s dive into the features and benefits that SmallBizLady Academy members can enjoy. Each membership level offers a suite of tools and resources that are designed to help you grow at your own pace. Here are the key features of our platform:

  1. 30-Day Training for All Members

When you join SmallBizLady Academy, you’ll begin with a 30-day training program that covers the essential elements of running a successful business or developing a scale plan. This training is designed to equip you with a solid foundation, whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow an existing business. You’ll gain insights into areas like business planning, time management, marketing, and expanding your business model and team.

For 30-days, you’ll receive actionable lessons through your email that you can implement immediately in your business. Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to start making an impact from day one. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and receive feedback as you work through the program.

  1. Access to SmallBizLady Coaches

One of the most valuable features of SmallBizLady Academy is access to SmallBizLady Coaches—a team of seasoned business experts who are ready to provide guidance tailored to your unique business needs. These coaches have experience across a wide range of industries, so no matter what your niche is, you’ll be able to find someone who can help you overcome your challenges and achieve your goals.

Coaching sessions are available for members at all levels, but the intensity and depth of coaching increase as you move up to higher membership tiers. For those at the Ready to Grow, this is where you can really accelerate your business growth with hands-on support from people who have been where you are now.

 

  1. Exclusive Masterclasses

At SmallBizLady Academy, we believe that continuous learning is the key to staying competitive in today’s fast-paced business environment. That’s why we’ll host exclusive masterclasses on topics that matter to women entrepreneurs. From marketing strategies and social media hacks to financial planning and mindset shifts, we cover it all.

One upcoming masterclass you don’t want to miss, “How to Use AI to Create Revenue While You Sleep,” taking place on September 26th at 6pm ET. This 3-hour session will teach you how to leverage artificial intelligence to automate revenue-generating tasks, streamline operations, and scale your business. Click here for details. 

  1. Resource Library

Our comprehensive Resource Library is another cornerstone of the SmallBizLady Academy. It includes downloadable eBooks, templates, checklists, and tools that will make running your business smoother and more efficient. The library is constantly being updated with new materials, so you’ll always have access to the latest insights and strategies.

 

  1. Weekly Community Activities

Being part of a community is an integral part of the SmallBizLady Academy experience. Every week, we host activities that allow members to connect, collaborate, and share their experiences. These include:

  • Q&A Tuesday with SmallBizLady: A live Q&A session where I personally answer your most pressing business questions.
  • Who’s Hiring Holla: A weekly opportunity to share job openings, vendor searches, or collaborations within the community.
  • Monthly Member Roundtables: A space for open discussions where members can network, share challenges, and celebrate wins.
  • Self-Promotion Sunday: An opportunity to share your products and services with the broader community.

We’re building a global community of 500 women entrepreneurs, and the energy in these weekly sessions is both inspiring and motivating.

  1. Monthly Ask SmallBizLady Q&As

As a member, you’ll also have access to live group coaching calls every month with me and guest experts occasionally. These sessions are tailored to address your specific business challenges, whether it’s scaling your operations, refining your marketing, or improving your leadership skills. This ideal perk for women entrepreneurs who just want to get their questions answered. 

  1. Member Discounts and Perks

When you join SmallBizLady Academy, you’ll receive 33% off all classes at SmallBizLadyUniversity.com, our sister site that offers in-depth online courses on various aspects of entrepreneurship. Members also get exclusive discounts on live and virtual events too.
