Hi, I'm Megan.
I spent years running a shop — and I built The Local Biz Club for everyone trying to run their own place. It's the room I wished existed when I started: real talk, real numbers, and owners who've already been where you are.
Running a small business is one of the best, hardest, loneliest things you can do. The Club is the part that makes it less lonely.
I started a business to support other small businesses — and somewhere along the way it grew into a multi-million-dollar shop. I learned the unglamorous stuff the expensive way: pricing, marketing that actually works, hiring, the holiday scramble, reading a P&L without crying.
What I kept wishing for was simple: a room full of people who actually get it. Not a guru on a rooftop. Not a corporate networking event. Just other business owners swapping what's working, what's not, and where to get good coffee on the drive home.
So I built it. The Local Biz Club is a membership app, a stack of courses, and the 1:1 work behind it — all aimed at one thing: helping independent small businesses actually run the damn place, together.
What the Club believes.
Peer, not guru
I've been in your shoes, not advising from above. Everything here comes from years of actually running a shop — wins, mistakes, and all.
Rooting for the little guy
This is for the independent operator. The corner shop, the studio, the service hustle, the makers. The ones who make a town feel like a town.
No bullshit
Plain talk, real numbers, no funnels from hell. If something doesn't work, I'll tell you. If it does, you'll get the template.
Come hang out.
Join the club, or start with the free Tuesday email — what I'm seeing in the wild, what's working for small businesses right now, and the one thing worth knowing. See you next Tuesday.
