Membership Criteria and Community Values
See if the SCBiz Mastermind Community is where you want to grow your business
We’ve built something special at SCBiz—a sanctuary where introverted entrepreneurs can show up “as they are,” support each other genuinely, and grow sustainably.
To protect this carefully cultivated environment, we have membership criteria and explicit values to ensure everyone who joins will thrive alongside our current community members.
Business Experience Requirements
You’re established and next level-ready:
- In business for 2+ years (solo or with a team)
- Generating $100k-$675k (or more) annually
Community Values Alignment
You believe in lifting others as you climb:
- Genuinely excited to support fellow entrepreneurs’ success
- Value collaboration over competition
- Ready to both give and receive support
You champion equality and inclusion:
- Believe all people deserve dignity, respect, and equal opportunities
- Support diversity in all its forms
- Value empathy and kindness as business strengths
Personal & Business Growth Alignment
You're ready to do the work:
- Want to examine and challenge your inner critics
- Committed to personal & business growth
- Know your business foundation needs strengthening
You value the introvert advantage:
- Done pretending to be someone you’re not
- Want to see your introversion as a superpower, not a limitation
- Want community without the anxiety of “networking”
Commitments & Expectations
Time and Commitment Expectations
Engage in a way that works for you (choose one, some or all of the options available)
Participate as your schedule and energy allow
Honor commitments when you make them (specifically if you opt in to small groups or 1:1s where others are counting on you)
Investment Expectations
You’re ready to invest in building your business the right way
You’re open to hiring expert help when it makes sense for your business (we’ll help you figure out what and when)
You understand that sustainable growth requires support, not doing everything yourself forever
Your Business. Your Budget. Your Choice.
Traditional Masterminds: $10K-$50K. SCBiz: Intentionally Less.
Here’s why: Every business is different, and yours needs different support at different stages.
We don’t bundle expert services into one expensive package because that only makes sense if everyone needs the same help at the same time. They don’t.
Instead, we keep membership affordable and give you access to our vetted Expert Circle and then you choose who to hire based on what your business actually needs right now. Website help? Marketing? Bookkeeping? Strategy consultation? Ad support? Etc. You decide, you hire, you control the budget.
Red Flags (What Doesn't Fit)
Certain approaches simply don’t align with our community culture.
- Looking for quick fixes or get-rich-quick strategies
- Promoting discriminatory views or harmful ideologies
- Treating community members as potential customers rather than collaborators
The Path to Participate
Step 1: Apply for a trial meetup ($25, credited toward membership if you join)
- Experience our community firsthand
- Ask questions in a low-pressure environment
- See if we’re a mutual fit
Step 2: If it’s a fit, submit a request to be an official SCBizzer!
Step 3: When accepted, pay your membership fee & you’re in!
