Small Business Accountability Group is a weekly group that meets both in person and online. About this event Join us as we reach our goals together weekly! An accountability group is where entrepreneurs meet to share their business goals, report successes, share knowledge, and support each other in reaching those goals. More importantly, it's about crucially holding each other accountable for achieving them. We will start each session with letting everyone know what our goal is for that session. Getting thru emails, Social media posts, bookkeeping and we can work quietly or chat on the side. Availability to meet in person as well as over zoom.
