Each month from 9am-10am\, members come together at the Hurt Hub for community building and focused discussions on common challenges faced by solo business owners. The program includes facilitator-led discussions\, peer learning opportunities\, and dedicated time for members to share their victories and obstacles in a supportive environment. This intimate community serves as both a professional resource hub and a vital support system\, ensuring that while members may run their businesses independently\, they don’t have to face their entrepreneurial journey alone.  After the Solopreneur Circle ends we open “The Lab” for an optional hour from 10-11am. During The Lab\, two individuals bring their works in progress to the room. A training they’re testing. A new offer they’re not sure about. A demo that needs real people to react to it. It doesn’t have to be polished. As an audience member\, you might be asked what you think. You might end up in someone’s speaker reel. Come open-minded\, curious\, and supportive. Ground Rules for The Lab: Presenters must sign up with Amy in advance and have attended The Solopreneur at least once previously. No hard sales-this is about practice and feedback. The Lab is a growing environment\, respect these are works in progress Honor what kind of feedback is requested by The Presenter. Keep it specific\, constructive\, and kind. Lead with curiosity before opinion Filming may occur.  By attending\, you consent to being captured on camera Questions?
