Michael Jackson gave us a testimonial! Well, the other Michael Jackson "The nature of what goes on inside YAB is sensational. Business relations, everybody discussing and helping everybody else, and a really good group of people." It is great to hear how much of a positive impact YAB has had.

Running a business can feel like standing in a room full of people but still being completely alone. Your friends don’t quite get it. Your family supports you, but they don’t really understand. And traditional networking is often a sea of business cards and surface-level small talk. That’s why YAB exists. It’s not about forced connections or awkward pitches - it’s about real conversations with people who’ve been there. People who get what it’s like to be at the top but still feel like you’re figuring it out. At YAB, you bring your challenges, and the group brings the clarity. No judgment, no fluff - just practical advice and people who actually care. If you’re tired of doing business alone, maybe it’s time to take your seat at the table. #YAB #FindYourPeople #YABCommunity #BusinessSupport

Building a Business is One Thing… Growing it Without Burning Out is Another. You start with a vision. You hustle, you wear every hat, and before you know it… you’re working 7 days a week, 16-hour days, juggling everything just to keep things moving. Sound familiar? At some point, running on adrenaline stops working. You need a plan for growth. But here’s the challenge—when you’re deep in the daily grind, stepping back to focus on the bigger picture feels impossible. ?? That’s exactly why YAB exists. At every YAB session, business owners come together to tackle real challenges head-on—no fluff, no theory, just actionable advice from people who’ve been there. ? Got a business problem? Bring it to a YAB session. ? In just a couple of hours, you’ll leave with solutions (and support from people who genuinely want to help). ?? You’re not in this alone. Fellow YABbers don’t just listen—they take action, offer help, and make introductions. Don’t struggle in silence. If you’re ready to stop running in circles and start growing with clarity, join us at a YAB session this month.
