TESTIMONIALS
"During the five-month Self-Employed Business Institute journey, I started building my own sustainable self-employed ecosystem. Jeffrey Shaw shares (literally!) everything he's learned in his 30+ years of self-employment experience.
He truly cares about the success of his students and is passionate about all types of small businesses.
Investing in this course has enabled me to create the boldest version of my business and was definitely one of the best decisions of my life!"

"The Self-Employed Business Institute helped me see the business I wanted to create. The group coaching calls were very helpful as we all learned from each other and could bounce ideas off of one another. I especially liked the individual coaching calls that helped guide me towards the steps I needed to take in order to move my business forward. Having Jeffrey Shaw by my side gave me the accountability I needed to take action."

Deb Coviello
The Drop In CEO™
★★★★★
Why Deb joined: She knew she was doing many of the right things but needed support and guidance to get the results she wanted so that all the hard work paid off.
"I am thrilled to have been a part of the Self Employed Business Institute! From the very first meeting when we all introduced ourselves, I was impressed by the variety of professions and the overall caliber of students that this program attracted. As much as Jeff has been the heart and brain of the institute, the members have provided significant value-add to each coaching call as well. One thing I love about Jeff’s framework for the program is how he got me to think bigger, beyond the scope of the day-to-day part of my business. He didn’t just tell us to “dream big” though, he gave specific homework with questions designed to make you think critically, and then we had opportunities to talk about it both during the group coaching calls as well as on the one-to-one coaching calls.
I am so grateful for my time in the Self Employed Business Institute because I feel like it has opened the scope of my goals as well as my trajectory to meet them. If you have read, or are currently reading through the Self Employed Life book, and are interested in putting the content into practice in a group setting with an excellent coach, I would highly recommend you give the institute a look and strongly consider applying!"

Most important, for me, was feeling like he had no interest in forcing me into some kind of prepackaged mold. We approached strategies for growing my business around who I authentically am. Huge."
