Members onlyMost of the operators we work with one to one are running $300k to $5M+ businesses. Plenty of people who find us are earlier than that. New owners, side hustles going full time, first real revenue. You do not need a $5,000-a-month engagement. You need the education and the systems first. That is the gap this fills.
$10/month. Learn the operating playbook and apply it yourself. Built for new and early-stage owners getting the foundation right.
$2,500 one time. We map your whole business and hand you a 90-day plan to install the operating layer. The bridge to fractional.
From $5,000/month. We embed and install the operating layer for you. The done-for-you tier for operators in growth mode.
The full operator curriculum, organized into four pillars. Over 21 modules today, with new ones added regularly. No theory for the sake of theory. Every module is something you can put to work in your business this week.
The four-box business model, your offer, positioning, and the operating fundamentals most owners skip. Get the base right so everything you build on top of it holds.
Lead generation, pricing, customer profiling, offers that sell, and conversion. How to bring in revenue on purpose instead of hoping it shows up.
SOPs, delegation, hiring scorecards, KPI dashboards, and the operating cadence that lets the business run without living on your shoulders.
Capacity planning, financial command, sellability, and building a business that is worth something whether you keep it or sell it.
The full library, available the moment you join. New modules added regularly.
Find your archetype and get the custom guide that tells you what to work on first.

There are a lot of ways to learn how to run a business. Most of them cost a fortune or waste your time. Here is how this stacks up.
Two years out of the game, heavy on theory and case studies, light on what it actually takes to run a small business day to day.
Helpful if you find a good one. Often generic advice, rarely backed by real operating experience, and the meter is always running.
The operating playbook from 15 years in the C-suite, built for small business, ready to use this week. Cancel anytime.
JT spent 15 years in the C-suite as a COO, CMO, and CFO, scaling companies from $500k to over $1B in revenue across multiple industries. The Small Business MBA is the operating playbook from that career, translated for owners who are earlier in the journey and want to get it right.
This is the stuff I wish someone had handed me when I was starting out. Not theory. The actual operating moves that decide whether a business runs you or you run it.
Immediate access to the full operator library: over 21 modules across the four pillars (Foundation, Market and Revenue, Operations and Systems, Scale and Exit), ten bonus courses, the Operator Readiness Assessment, and the workbooks you fill in inside the platform. New modules are added every month. You log in, you start, you are using it the same day.
Yes. $10/month, month to month. Cancel in two clicks inside your account. No contract, no minimum term, no phone call, no email to chase. We would rather you stay because it is working than stay because cancelling is hard.
The fractional services are done-for-you. We embed in your business and install the operating layer ourselves, starting at $5,000/month. The Small Business MBA is do-it-yourself. You learn the same playbook and apply it yourself for $10/month. It is the on-ramp for operators who are not ready for a fractional engagement yet, and the playbook reference for the ones who eventually are.
New operators, soon-to-be operators, and operators running businesses under $1M who feel like they are figuring it out from scratch every day. If you have already built an operating layer, hired well, and your business runs without you, you do not need this. If any of those are still in front of you, this is the most affordable way to get the playbook in your hands this week.
No, and we will never pretend it is. The Small Business MBA is a practical operator education. It is not an accredited academic degree and does not confer a Master of Business Administration. It is the real-world version: what running a business actually requires, taught operator to operator.
Yes. The private operator community is live now, and every member gets access the moment they join. It is a space to ask questions and learn alongside other operators, included in your $10/month membership at no extra cost.
The Small Business MBA is a practical business education program offered by Notebook of a COO. It is not an accredited academic degree program and does not confer a Master of Business Administration or any academic credential.
