One Summit Format · Multiple Cities · One Builder Movement
Why the Builders Summit Exists
Builders create businesses, jobs, opportunity, stronger families,
and stronger communities. Yet too many independent business owners
are expected to build alone.
Four Hours. Four Acts.
One Clearer Path Forward.
Every Summit follows the same practical four-act experience,
built to move a Builder from understanding to clarity,
from clarity to action, and from action to leadership.
Act I
The BIG Setup
Understand the economic, technological, demographic,
and competitive forces reshaping independent business.
Act II
The BIG X-Ray
See the strengths, weaknesses, risks, constraints,
and opportunities inside your business.
Act III
The BIG Playbook
Turn insight into priorities, practical systems,
and a focused 90-day operating plan.
Act IV
The BIG Owner
Strengthen the financial, emotional, physical,
intellectual, and spiritual capacity of the Builder.
The Summit Promise

your priorities, and yourself as the Builder.

Organizations Standing With Builders
The Builder Movement is strengthened by organizations committed
to independent business, practical guidance, and stronger communities.
We’re all about Builders Helping Builders grow their businesses.
Where you are today
Which best describes your business?

Your current reality
What are your biggest challenges?
Select everything that applies.
The resource constraint
What is holding you back?
What we’ve found with Builders just like you is that independent business owners often know what must be done but lack the resources to do it.
The independent-business resource gap
Large companies rarely build alone.
They can call upon strategic consultants, assessments, executive coaches, planning teams, and professional networks—including organizations such as McKinsey, Accenture, Boston Consulting Group, Vistage, and many others.
Independent businesses need practical access to the same categories of resources:
Strategic perspective — typically $10,000–$50,000 per engagement
Business assessments — typically $5,000–$25,000 per assessment
Practical planning — typically $5,000–$15,000 per project
Execution support — typically $5,000–$26,000 per month
Experienced relationships — typically $200–$500 per hour
A trusted executive community — typically $1,000–$1,700 per month
Accessing these resources separately can cost thousands of dollars. BUILDERS brings practical versions of them together for independent business owners.
Illustrative market ranges; actual fees vary by provider, scope, and level of service.
Like other Builders, would it help you to have access to these resources?

Still have questions?
Let’s talk about BUILDERS.
1. What exactly is BUILDERS?
BUILDERS is a business growth platform and community created for independent business owners. It brings business strategy support, assessments and practical planning, and a trusted community together in one affordable membership.
2. Who is BUILDERS designed for?
BUILDERS serves solopreneurs and entrepreneurs—from those considering a business through owners building, growing, reinventing, or preparing to monetize their companies. It is especially designed for independent businesses that cannot justify the cost of a traditional advisory team.
3. What do I receive for $25 per month?
Your membership provides access to BUILDERS business insights, assessments, practical planning resources, learning tools, and a community of fellow Builders. These resources are designed to help you identify what matters most and take practical action.
4. How will BUILDERS know what my business needs?
Your journey begins with onboarding and a business assessment. Your answers help BUILDERS identify your most important challenges, priorities, and opportunities so your experience can begin with what is most relevant to you.
5. Is BUILDERS a consulting or coaching firm?
BUILDERS provides strategic insight, assessments, planning resources, technology, and community support. It does not replace an attorney, accountant, financial adviser, or specialized professional. Instead, it helps you think more clearly, prepare more effectively, and recognize when outside expertise may be needed.
6. What does “Builders Helping Builders” mean?
It means you do not have to build alone. BUILDERS brings independent business owners together to exchange experience, perspective, ideas, introductions, encouragement, and practical help. Helping one another is not simply our motto—it is our purpose.
7. Do I need to be technically experienced?
No. BUILDERS is designed to be conversational and practical. Your onboarding process will introduce you to the available resources and help you take the next appropriate step.
8. Why does BUILDERS cost only $25 per month?
Our model is built around shared technology, shared knowledge, and Builders Helping Builders. That allows us to make valuable business resources available to many independent owners at a price that does not place another burden on their businesses.
9. Is there a contract or long-term commitment?
No. Membership is $25 per month, with no long-term commitment. You may cancel at any time.
10. What happens after I become a Builder?
After submitting your membership, you will begin onboarding. Once your membership is approved, you will move into the assessment phase, establish your starting priorities, and begin using the BUILDERS resources and community to help your business grow and thrive.
Welcome to BUILDERS
Congratulations on making a good decision.
It’s a decision you will never regret as your business continues to grow and thrive.
Let’s get you started. Once your membership is approved, you’ll move directly into the assessment phase during your onboarding process.
