Small Business Incubators have proven to be an incredible resource for brick-and-mortar business start-ups. Many entrepreneurs have benefited from these amazing organizations which have provided training, mentoring and support that may well have been the difference between success and failure. For the online
Mentoring That Makes A Difference
business community (one of the fastest growing business sectors), however, the small business incubator system has not kept pace.
Small Business Incubators — Opportunities Scarce For Online Businesses
While incubators do exist for online entrepreneurs they are few and far between and not readily accessible to the masses of new businesses that start online each day. The failure rate for these, without the professional support they need, exceeds 93%.
A failure rate of this magnitude is alarming, but not surprising. Most successful business owners will readily attribute much of their progress and accomplishment to a meaningful support and mentoring system. Lacking this, new business owners are left to fend for themselves. The failure rate proves that going it on one’s own is a very risky proposition.
Small Group Training Leads The Way At Small Biz Incubator
Small Biz Incubator was formed because its founders were unable to find the training, support and mentoring they needed to grow their personal online businesses. Even with years of conventional business experience they found conducting business online to have unique and challenging requirements. So they set out to develop a training and mentoring program that would be beneficial and affordable for anyone seriously committed to building an online business presence. What resulted was a world-class learning program, designed around live webinars and small support groups that virtually assure success. Now anyone, no matter what level of experience they possess, can find the training and mentoring they need in a self-paced and supportive environment.
What really makes the program a standout is the way it’s been organized with Affinity Groups at its core. These small, closely knit groups work together in a way that makes learning sometimes difficult concepts both fun and simple! For those actively participating in these groups, success is no longer “just out of reach”. In an Affinity Group learners are never alone. There is always a real, caring human being ready to lend a helping hand.
Affinity Groups Foster Understanding
Small Biz Affinity Groups are truly the core of the training program. These small groups tend to become very close and attached as they work through the sometimes challenging materials. Most amazing, perhaps, is the high level of respect and accountability that develops! Every Group Leader and member is committed to mutual success. Their motto is “no entrepreneur left behind”.
It is the job of the Affinity Group Leaders (AGLs) to provide follow-up assistance within the business development modules. Training begins with live webinars, video and/or written training, providing in-depth coverage for every essential concept. Then the training is reviewed in live weekly Affinity Group meetings, held online, which include Q & A sessions. Members confirm that the Affinity Groups have provided the key support necessary to keep them in the game.
There isn’t much about the Internet that is static. As with most technologies, new innovation arrives about every six months. Staying current with the latest “best practices” is more than a full time job. This is a huge advantage of belonging to a membership forum such as Small Biz Incubator. Its leaders are constantly scouring the technical forums, and reviewing programs to keep training current. Courses are updated regularly, and new developments are introduced in live training webinars as soon as they have been validated. This constant “eye on change” is not easily duplicated by traditional Small Business Incubators.
