"Fire Drills" are all about removing the major barriers to growth. Business owners usually have a list of "I need this done asap" items. Let's put out those fires so we can focus on what matters. Growth.
Mission Cultivate
We strengthen small businesses to strengthen our communities.
It's Marketing. It's Finance. It's a Growth Model.
It's a Movement.
It's Marketing. It's Finance. It's a Growth Model.
It's a Movement.
The Mission
If we work together, we can build and strengthen our communities.
Small businesses are the backbone of America. They employ the majority of the population and their revenue is more beneficial to our communities. If that's the case, why don’t we do a better job of challenging big business?
The easy answer is “convenience”, but the real answer is that we’re set up to fail. We live in a society that lends itself to big business. This presents an opportunity to shift the paradigm.
We believe in making an unfair playing field, fair again. We believe we can build strong communities ourselves, because the government isn’t going to do it for us.
This is our mission.
This is our battle cry.
Let’s band together and build together.
For every $100 dollars spent at a local business, $68 will stay in the community.
For national chains, it's only $431
91% of local business owners contribute to their community
through schools, non-profits, community groups, volunteering, and donations.2
Small businesses employ more than 52% of the nation's employees.3
Small business. Big deal.
The Movement
We believe in standing with the underdog. Even when society is stacked against them.
We live in a world where the best and brightest minds dedicate their lives to making big businesses bigger. These businesses have all the resources they need. Their annual marketing budgets are 7-8 digits. They have brick and mortar locations in every major area. They get super bowl commercials and A-list celebrity endorsements. The menu at McDonald's shows 9 cups of coffee in the morning because they have data to prove that that sells more coffee!
It's not fair, really.
Walmart averages a profit of
$1.8m
per hour4
With over 750 watercraft, Disney has the
5th
largest navy in the world5
On average, Starbucks has launched 2 locations per day for the last 25 years.6
1 in 10 European babies are conceived in an IKEA bed.7
Every day, about 1% of the population of the entire planet eats at McDonald's.8
I'm hatin' it.
We stand with
the underdog.
