Building on your own isn't the way to do it
Insights for Rural and Small Town Entrepreneurs
You know what nobody tells you when you start a business?
That doing it alone sucks.
Not just in a “this is hard” kind of way, but in a “this is lonely, confusing, and I have no idea if I’m even doing this right” kind of way.
I’ve been there more times than I care to admit.
When we launched our coffee shop in a small town with no Starbucks… I was looking for a community to lean on.
When we pivoted our old sign business from screen printing to e-commerce… we were making big decisions from a small room in a small town, hoping we weren’t crazy.
And when I started The Ruralpreneur, it came from this exact pain point: realizing that there are brilliant, capable entrepreneurs in rural areas who are building big things, but doing it with very little support.
That changes today.
🎉 The Rural Founders Club is now live. 🎉
It’s something I’ve been quietly building for months.
Not a course.
Not a group chat.
Not a Facebook group that gets ignored.
This is a real community. For rural entrepreneurs who are actively building and want a serious edge.
Inside the Club, you get:
Coffee Calls twice a week — short, live tactical calls every Tuesday & Thursday to spark momentum and strategy
Courses like the Rural Launch Formula — to help you build your business the smart way, not the guess-everything-and-hope way
Private community access — so you’re never stuck wondering “is it just me?”
RP+ Members Extras — coming soon, there will be exclusive features for this group!
Right now, during this early access beta, it’s completely free to join. Just show up, give feedback, and help shape something that could change the game for small-town builders.
Here’s why I believe this matters so much:
Most rural entrepreneurs stay stuck not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because they’re isolated.
When you’re surrounded by other people playing small, it’s easy to believe that you should play small too.
Community isn’t a nice-to-have.
It’s an accelerant.
It’s a pressure valve.
It’s the difference between scaling with confidence and sitting in silence.
So if you’ve been looking for a sign to go bigger, get better support, and actually enjoy building your business again…
This is it.
Come check it out.
Let’s build something real together.
