Our Mission

underline-wave.png

Our mission at Be A Beacon In Your Industry is to empower start up companies, micro businesses and solopreneurs to truly understand all of the aspects of running a business in a fun and supportive way. Our cohorts are run by leading coaching professionals to guide the cohort members into a solid business structure with ongoing sustainability.

Our ultimate goal is to increase the number of businesses that survive past the first 5 years by helping them understand how to effectively and efficiently run a successful business while taking the bullshit out of business.

Our Commanders

Strategic Advisor Board​

Rapidly scale your business while giving yourself more freedom & improving your lifestyle. We help business owners finally enjoy the business they worked so hard to build. Now you can have 10 active "working" CEO’s helping you grow & scale your business. Our performance-based model means we get paid when you see results. That’s the power of “TEAM”!

Summit VA Solutions

Summit VA Solutions offers a wide array of virtual assistants for business owners that struggle to keep up with day to day tasks. 

Sharing The Credit

  Sharing the Credit makes everything we touch give.  We often save businesses thousands a year, while showing the business how to legally redirect a fee to their favorite charity. This makes you 'the business with a heart'. You can even get a MC/Visa door sticker showing your charity. We've given away millions that normally just go back into the system, but now go to your cause.

Prepare 4 VC

Prepare 4 VC helps early early stage founders connect with the right people, at the right place at the right time to grow and scale their venture. We started with a simple goal of boosting the 98.5% of startups that are currently left out of VC financing and the 9/10 startups that fail to help you build a successful venture.

Savvy Sales Strategy

Are you at a place in your business where you’re looking to free up time so you can work on your business and with your clients? Maybe the right place is to outsource your sales calls. Learn more below

Dock 2 is our second course where we use the next 8 weeks to coach you on Productive Business Development. We pull from the same facets in this course; business development, marketing/pr, sales and mindset. But we also incorporate what they have learned in the previous Dock and show you how to marry that to the new information learned.

Dock 3

Dock 3 we get into Sustainability Through Growth. During these 8 weeks you learn how to grow and scale your business while also learning how to have your systems and strategies grow with your organization. This unfortunately is where most companies fail, making this entire course a necessary component for success.

    I was very pleased with this online class to help me understand and learn all the facets of business marketing from beginning a business to social media and how to implement. There are so many branches to building a business and so many different ways to reach your clients that this class explains every aspect of helping you to promote and drive more business to you and also helps you to manage your time better. I would recommend this online workshop to anyone who is starting a business and needs motivation and help or to anyone who is already in a business and needs inspiration or to expand their reach.

  • If you want an accounting of your worth, count your friends

    Jessica Smith - Amazon co.
    People who build their own home tend to be very courageous. These people are curious about life. They're thinking about what it means to live in a house, rather than just buying a commodity and making it work.
