Top 10 Reasons to Join the Indie Business Network

"The Indie Business Network has been life-changing for me. I started with a mindset of self-doubt even though I KNEW I had a brand that could really help people. I had a love/hate relationship with my business, but the mentoring and masterminding I get through IBN have helped me appreciate me and my capabilities. The insights and encouragement I've received from IBN members over months and years has been priceless. The transformation is worth every single investment. I'm beyond grateful."

Kimberly Cross, US Navy Veteran and Happy Skin Formulator Zhi Bath & Body

Now entering its 24th year, IBN offers general and product liability insurance to small and independent business owners and provides entrepreneurial training and mentoring to empower them to achieve a happy life, a profitable business, and a meaningful legacy; something we call The Ultimate Trifecta.

At IBN, we firmly believe that entrepreneurship is for everyone. That's why our member benefits include exciting entrepreneurial experiences -- live and online -- to coach, uplift and empower our members to build the business of their dreams and have fun doing it. Take a look!

1. Liability Insurance. IBN's affordable product and general liability insurance programs enhance our members' ability to sell products and services with confidence and peace of mind. Coverages include everything you need to sell your products and services at markets, popup shops and trade shows, online, and via wholesale to local and national retail stores.

2. Entrepreneurial Mentoring. Your business will never outgrow your ability to lead it, so IBN offers virtual and physical ("in real life") sales, marketing and leadership training events to help you grow both personally and professionally.

3. Promotional and Sales Opportunities. Our members enjoy opportunities to be featured on our blog, podcast and social media pages, which collectively reach tens of thousands of potential buyers every day. We also host members-only sales and discounts.

4. Private Entrepreneurial Discussion Group. Our Private Discussion Group is a robust platform for learning, growth and collaboration. It embraces every aspect of entrepreneurship: insider supplier information, business and marketing strategies, regulatory reviews, and live business coaching sessions with IBN's Founder + CEO, Certified Entrepreneur Mentor: Donna Maria.

5. Indie Business Network Planner. Our analog planner (currently available only to IBN members) features our proprietary sequential entrepreneurial success path. With it, you can set and pursue clear goals and focus exclusively on the actions that lead to achieving them.

6. Indie Business Book Club. Each month, we read a carefully curated book designed to help you grow as the leader of your business. We highlight key concepts in our Private Discussion Group making it easy for you to embrace new and transformative applications so you can develop yourself as a leader in a community of like-minded peers.

7. Quarterly Planning Intensives. Your business will not grow unless your ideas become goals. At our Quarterly Planning Intensives, you'll translate your goals into the daily and weekly actions that lead directly to consistent progress and success.

8. Mindset Discussion and Problem Solving. Each week, members enjoy training sessions with experts. At these live virtual events, members are mentored in a private environment where they brainstorm and solve their most pressing business challenges together.

9. Exclusive Members-Only Library. Enjoy access to hundreds of hours of categorized training tools and resources to help you make daily progress in your life and your business. Topics include: business planning, trademarks, email marketing, social media, subscription and membership business models, wholesale strategy, pricing, legal and regulatory and more.

10. Fun! Entrepreneurship is a lot of work, but it should also be fun. Your business is only a part of your life, and together we can help you achieve the success you desire personally and professionally -- without compromising either.

Ready to get started? We're waiting to meet and serve you on the other side.

EP 94: Chelsea Selby-Randazza of Witch Baby Soap “My ultimate goal is not to be the biggest or the most profitable brand.

It's to be able to pay our bills, pay our employees and have a comfortable business. My advice is to have a plan, but don't be rigid. When you have a rigid plan, you set yourself up for disappointment if you don't end up where you thought you were going to be. I'd rather go with the flow, where life takes me and be happy about that than be worried about getting to a specific goal post.”

There are a million products out there, folks. For example, says Chelsea, there are tons of bath bombs on the market, but when Chelsea designs a bath bomb for the Witch Baby brand, she's designing more than a bath bomb. She's designing a bath bomb for a specific purpose, for a specific person in her specific target community. Her bath bombs have a purpose. When you create a product, Chelsea recommends that you take a similar approach.

EP 95: Rachel Beyer of Rachel Beyer Artist Apothecary “Community is so important and I feel like ... interacting with likeminded people online and in the Indie Business Network is so important; and being able to ask questions, get feedback, talk with other artists and creative people and business owners has been so helpful and supportive. ... Just as much as I love being on my own in my studio and in my creative zone, I also like interacting with other people.”

Rachel lives with what she describes as chronic pain challenges. These have taught her to listen deeply and intentionally to her body, and to create and honor her own personal pace in life and in business. Rachel has created what she describes as a personalized “ecosystem” that allows her to adjust her schedule around what is going on in her life so she never has to push herself emotionally and physically beyond what is healthy for her. These are lifestyle benefits she never would have been able to enjoy if she was working full-time in a traditional work environment.
