Get ready to accelerate!
Here at 17hats, we are excited to announce our Small Business Accelerator – a 10-week live webinar series designed to turbocharge your service-driven business. This game-changing course will be taught by our very own Joey Thomas, noted entrepreneur and small business educator.
Oh, did I mention that the whole thing – 10 weeks of don’t-miss small biz education – is free?! How great is that?
But, like everything in life, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. Read on to learn how you can prepare, now, for this remarkable opportunity to get ahead.
First, though? A little more about the course itself.
Ready. Set. Accelerate.

The course itself consists of live, 45-minute webinars shared each Thursday (starting at 11 PDT, or 2 EDT) for 10 weeks. Can’t make it one week? No worries – catch a recording online later at 17hatsUniversity.com.

Getting Up to Speed: Prepare Now.
Next, find a few moments to prepare for the course. Here’s what you can do, starting today, to make the most of the opportunity ahead:
- Make time on your schedule. Yep, it’s a commitment – but one that will pay dividends. Block off 45 minutes each Thursday (with 15 minutes after for Q&A) between 3/16 and 5/25, starting at 11 PDT (or 2 EDT). Pro tip: Consider blocking off the 15 minutes before the webinar too, so you can get settled at your desk and be focused. And you will definitely want to find time, either after class or later in the week, to implement the Small Business Accelerator insights in your own business.
- Think big picture. Part of what we do to help small businesses at 17hats is invite you to work on your business, not just in your business. So take a minute and think about your endeavor critically. What’s working? What’s holding you back? What would even greater success look like? Bear that assessment in mind as you inbound the lessons from Joey. Odds are, you will immediately start to see how his advice can serve your big picture goals.
- Bring specific questions. You’ve thought blue sky – now mull the nuts and bolts. Cast your eyes over the course topics listed above. Ever wondered what the difference is between marketing and advertising? Or maybe you’ve questioned how to overcome customer objections to close more sales. Bring those burning questions to the table. (Chances are good that others will benefit from the answer too!) The live webinars will be interactive, so you’ll have a chance to ask your questions.
Put the Pedal to the Metal.
