For small businesses & solo operators

The club for people who actually run the damn place.

A membership, the tools, and the backup to run the place — for independent business owners swapping what's working, what's not, and how to do it without losing your mind.

The short version

I spent years running a shop, and I built the thing I wished existed back then: a club for people doing the same. Real talk, real numbers, and a room full of owners who've already been where you are.

Three ways in

Pick your pace.

The club and everything in it, someone in your corner, or a website that's done for you — start where you are.

01Membership

Instead of testimonials

The club is new. Here's the receipts.

I'm not going to fill this page with quotes from people who don't exist. So here's what I've actually done, and you can decide.

The background

I ran the place

Years on the floor of my own shop — pricing, hiring, the holiday scramble, reading a P&L without crying. It grew into a multi-million-dollar business, and I learned every bit of it the expensive way.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks.

The stuff people email me before they join. Answered here so you don't have to.

What actually is The Local Biz Club? +
A monthly membership for small businesses and solo operators. You get AI content plans built on your own pillars, a Reel Builder and hook generator, live trend alerts, scored audits of your website, Google Business Profile and pricing, plus grants, platform updates, SOPs and a vetted-pro directory — all in one app. Two tiers: Member at $29 CAD/mo and Member Pro at $79 CAD/mo.
Is this just another course I won't finish? +
No. It's a set of working tools you use on a Sunday afternoon to get your month planned, plus audits that hand you a prioritised list of fixes. Courses are in there too — 20% off on Member, included on Pro — but the tools are the thing you'll open every week.
Who's it for? +
Independent operators. Retail stores, florists, candle makers, accountants, photographers, salons, studios, cleaners, coffee shops, service businesses, makers. If you run the place — or you are the place — you're the person this was built for.
Can I try it before I pay anything? +
Two of the tools are completely free with no login and no card: a website audit that scans your site in about five seconds, and a content idea generator that writes five ideas for your business. Both tiers then start with 7 days free.
How much time does it take? +
An hour on a Sunday gets you a month of content planned. The audits take about five minutes each and you only run them a few times a year. This is built for people who don't have spare evenings.
Do you work with businesses outside Canada? +
Yes. It's all online and members run businesses all over. Billing is in Canadian dollars, which for a lot of people works out cheaper than it looks.
What's the difference between the club and working with you 1:1? +
The club gives you the tools and a room full of owners who've been where you are. Consulting is just you and me on your business — a strategy session, a custom package, an automation and SOP build, or a full VIP day. Plenty of people do both.
Can I cancel? +
Any time, in two clicks from your settings. No call to book, no guilt trip. You keep access to the end of the period you've paid for.

The Tuesday email.

One email, every Tuesday — what I'm seeing in the wild, what's working for small businesses right now, and the one thing worth knowing. See you next Tuesday.
