If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re already part of my little corner of the internet — my email list.
You’ve been here through the stories, the messy moments, the wins, the honest truths, and all the “well… that didn’t go as planned” parts of building a rural business.
You didn’t find this page by accident.
You were invited.
This isn’t something I’m posting publicly.
It’s not on social.
It’s not on my website.
It’s just for the people who’ve been with me long enough to understand the heart behind what I’m building.
Think of this like when a friend sees your porch light on and pulls in the driveway just to check in.
No formality.
No “please schedule an appointment.”
Just real life — showing up as you are.
That’s the energy of this membership.
No polish.
No perfection.
Just rural entrepreneurs coming together, figuring out business in the middle of the beautiful chaos we all live in.
You’re here because you’ve been part of this from the start… even if you didn’t know it.
I’ll be honest — I didn’t plan to open The Rural Business Lounge™ this soon.
I built an entire sales page about all the amazing things that are coming.
I thought I needed every lesson polished and every worksheet perfect before anyone saw it.
But that’s not how rural life works.
Out here, things are busy, messy, and never on schedule.
Cattle get out. Kids get sick. Bookkeeping piles up.
And business planning definitely doesn’t wait for the “right time.”
So instead of pretending everything is tied up with a bow, I’m opening the doors now — early, imperfect, and real.
Why?
Because the people on my email list don’t need perfect.
You need support, community, direction, and a place where your rural life actually makes sense.
You don’t need a full library today.
You need a seat on the porch and someone to say, “Alright, friend… let’s get you ready for the year.”
That’s why you’re here early.
And why you get to help shape what this becomes.
Welcome to the Back Porch Crew — the beginning is supposed to look like this.
Before we go any further, I want to be completely transparent:
This is not the full, polished membership yet.
Nothing is “done.” Nothing is “pretty.”
This is the early, pull-up-a-chair stage — and that’s exactly the point.
Here’s what you get the moment you join:
THE BACK PORCH CREW COMMUNITY (DAY 1 ACCESS)
A private space where rural business owners can talk honestly without judgment, pressure, or perfection.
This is our gathering place while the rest of the membership is built.
WEEKLY COMMUNITY CHECK-IN THREADS (YOUR BUILT-IN ACCOUNTABILITY)
Running a rural business can feel lonely — and it’s easy to lose focus when life gets busy.
That’s why you’ll get Weekly Check-In Threads inside the Back Porch Crew.
Each week, you’ll answer a few simple prompts: What are you working on? What’s tripping you up? What do you need help deciding? What’s one win you want to celebrate?
It’s not content — it’s accountability, clarity, and connection.
Think of it like a friend leaning over and saying,
“Alright, what’s your plan this week? Let’s get you moving.”
These threads help you stay on track, stay supported, and stay consistent — even on the weeks when nothing goes as planned.
BOOKKEEPING POWER HOUR
Turn on a video → sit down → do your books.
No fluff. No overwhelm.
Just guided time to get what matters DONE.
Save yourself from the chaos of leaving your books unattended and start gaining real insight into your operation.
TAX DOCUMENTATION ORGANIZATION VIDEO (SIMPLIFY THIS YEAR + GET AHEAD OF NEXT YEAR)
If tax time usually feels like a frantic scavenger hunt, you’re not alone — rural businesses have receipts in glove boxes, feed store invoices stuffed in drawers, and records scattered between phones, emails, and notebooks.
Inside the Back Porch Crew, you’ll get a simple system I use with my bookkeeping clients to help you:
wrangle the chaos from this past year
Organize what you already have
find what you’re missing
and get a head start on next year’s tax season
This isn’t a full course — it’s a follow-along setup video where you turn it on, gather the materials on the list, and get everything organized step-by-step.
By the time you’re done, you’ll have a clean, simple structure in place that makes tax time dramatically less stressful — and sets you up for success moving forward.
RURAL BUSINESS GOAL-SETTING SUPPORT (YOUR REAL-LIFE ROADMAP FOR 2026)
This is the real work — the kind that helps you understand why you want this rural business, what matters most in your life, and how to make it all fit together without burning yourself out.
Inside the Back Porch Crew, you’ll get a guided walk-through to help you:
get honest about what you truly want in your business and your life
dig into your deeper “why” so your goals actually mean something
do a simple time audit to see what’s working (and what’s not)
map out goals that fit your real schedule, seasons, and energy
create a 2026 plan that’s doable, aligned, and sustainable
It’s less about filling out worksheets…
and more about getting clear on the life you’re building and the business that supports it.
This is the exact framework I use myself.
SKILL ASSESSMENT: WHAT TO LEARN VS WHAT TO HIRE OUT
A guided reflection to help you stop doing everything yourself and start working smarter.
Clear, simple, honest.
FOUNDING MEMBER STATUS ($27/MONTH — LOCKED IN FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION)
This is your seat on the porch.
You get every future lesson, every tool, every update — all at the lowest price that will ever exist.
This offer is only for my email community and will not be offered again.
THE FULL LESSON LIBRARY IS COMING.
You’re joining the early, community-first stage — not a completed membership.
Everything beyond this list will roll out piece by piece, with your feedback guiding the build.
Because you’re joining at the very beginning, you get to be part of shaping what comes next.
This isn’t a finished membership — it’s a growing one. Piece by piece. Season by season. With your feedback guiding the build.
As we move into the new year, lessons will begin rolling out inside The Rural Business Lounge™.
No rush. No overwhelm. No “surprise, here are 40 modules you’ll never have time to watch.”
Just steady, purposeful support.
Here’s what you can expect as things unfold:
Weekly Lessons Inside the Rural Business Roadmap™
Covering the five stages every rural entrepreneur needs:
Define Your Direction
Plan & Prepare
Brand with Purpose
Market with Intention
Legacy by Design
These will show up gradually — in a way that feels doable, not demanding.
Videos, Worksheets & Simple Tools
Think: clarity over complexity.
Everything is designed for rural life, not corporate hustle.
Short, practical, and easy to implement even on your busiest days.
Monthly Themes & Guidance
Each month, we’ll focus on one area of your business — so you don’t get pulled in ten directions at once.
“Build-With-Me” Updates
You’ll see exactly what’s coming next, why it matters, and how it all ties together.
This membership won’t be built for you — it will be built with you.
Community Input That Shapes the Content
If the Back Porch Crew needs something sooner, we’ll bump it up.
If everyone is struggling in the same area, we’ll tackle that first.
Your voice helps steer the direction.
Founding Member Perk: You Get Everything We Add
Every lesson.
Every tool.
Every template.
Every update.
All at your locked-in $27/month rate.
You could wait until the membership is fully built.
Until every lesson is uploaded.
Until it looks polished and complete.
But here’s the truth — this stage is where the real magic happens.
This Founding Member invitation won’t be open forever.
The Back Porch Crew is limited to 100 founding members or will close on January 8, 2026 — whichever comes first.
.Joining now means:
You’re part of the Back Porch Crew from the very beginning
You get a community that already feels like home, not a crowd of strangers
You have a voice in what gets built and when
You get support now, not someday
And you lock in the lowest rate this membership will ever offer
This $27/month Founding Member rate is only available during this quiet, email-list-only opening.
Once the doors open wider and the lesson library grows, this price goes away — permanently.
If you’ve been craving a place where your rural business life makes sense…
If you want accountability without pressure…
If you want community before content…
This is your moment to pull up a chair.
This founding offer is available through January 8, 2026 — or until the Back Porch Crew reaches 100 members.
This offer is only available to my email list.
