Excited to grow your business, but don't know how to start?

We've been helping women-owned businesses develop their next generation business model for nearly three decades.

What is a mastermind and why do you need one?

A mastermind is not a membership, it is a community of like-minded individuals, on a similar journey, eager to share best practices and provide accountability to ensure you achieve the goals you desire.

A mastermind is where you can learn and test your ideas, gain feedback, and grow confidentially in your next business shift.

Why THIS mastermind?

The Growth Shift Mastermind is a community of women business owners that share a similar journey to yours, eager to share best practices and provide accountability. In our three decades of working with women business owners through the Women's Business Development Council of Florida (WBDC FL), we continue to help our members successfully scale their business by providing:
