Build lasting relationships and
grow your business in The Network
Join a generous, relationship-first Slack community of B2B service providers who collaborate, refer, and grow together.
Build authentic relationships
Collaborate confidently
Enhance business growth
You’ve been doing it alone, but you don’t have to.
As a solopreneur or small agency owner, you wear every hat. You’re managing clients, trying to market yourself, and chasing growth mostly alone.
You’ve probably tried networking groups or online communities, but they felt spammy, shallow, or just not your vibe.
You want something real. Something warm. Something that actually helps you build relationships with people who will speak your name in rooms you’re not in.
When you surround yourself with the right people everything changes.
The Network is where you can build your business.
The Network is a Slack-based community who believes in collaboration over competition.
Build authentic, strategic relationships that lead to real deals, stay sharp and visible through events and engagement, and feel seen, supported, and part of something bigger.
You’ll be in good company with…
-
Consultants and strategists
-
Marketers, copywriters, and designers
-
Operations pros, IT experts, and cybersecurity advisors

Accountants, lawyers, and fractional executives

Small agency owners, freelancers, and solopreneurs
Everyone in The Network is a B2B service provider running a business or leading a small team. We’re a community of abundance thinkers who believe there’s more than enough work to go around. And we’re all here because we care about relationships, not just revenue (though there’s plenty of that, too).

Real stories from real members on how The Network made an impact on their life and business.
Speed Networking paired me with Cinthia three times—and for good reason! She’s now translating a brochure for one of my clients. I also connected with another member just this afternoon, and we’ve already kicked off phase one of a three-part project. It’s nearly a perfect-fit client for me. So yes—big wins already!
Being part of The Network has been a game-changer for me – not just professionally, but personally, too. I’ve gained so much by hearing other people’s perspectives, whether they’re a few steps ahead of me or just navigating things from a different angle.
The feedback loop here is incredible—you can bring your ideas, questions, or struggles to the table and know you’ll receive thoughtful, helpful input. And just as importantly, you’re encouraged to give back and support others, which creates this amazing cycle of mutual growth.
The panel discussions are always packed with value. I’ve walked away with new systems, fresh insights, and inspiration I can immediately apply to my business. The people in this community are generous with their knowledge. They genuinely want to help, cheer you on, and see you succeed.
I believe this kind of supportive environment doesn’t just happen by accident. It’s a reflection of Erika Bryant, the founder. Erika shows up with heart and purpose every time, sharing her wealth of experience and making sure everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered. She’s built something truly special here.
Just a reminder that you are fantastic at what you do. This series you’ve done in Business Mindset Mondays has been my favorite so far. Thank you for sharing your talents with this community!
Erika is a diamond in the rough! With all the claims out there of people offering connection and impact. She actually follows through and is an incredible leader. She has created a community of people that are supportive and leaders themselves and also know the value that this community brings. As one of my mentors says ‘Proximity Is Power’ so are you surrounding yourself with the right people? This could be your tribe.
Within The Network, I found camaraderie of people that I like genuinely as well as leads for business, skilled contractors that I can send leads to, and just a variety of ideas and personalities. Several people I have networked with in the past in other communities reconnected with me in The Network to hire me for opportunities that we talked about months ago. Some that I had even forgotten about.
I’m really grateful to have this place to stay in touch with so many awesome people and the resulting revenue that has brought me. If you’re not already in The Network, I strongly recommend signing up.
This community has pushed me to grow into the next-level business owner I didn’t know I was ready to be. Every workshop challenges my thinking, and the group is so generous with their knowledge, you’ll find yourself double-checking that they’re offering it for free. It feels less like networking and more like showing up to a group chat of immensely talented friends who are suspiciously obsessed with seeing you win.
Clear expectations create a better experience
Boundaries, guidelines, and everything keeping this community generous.
The Network is a relationship-first business community for professional service providers to connect, learn, and strategize.
I’m all about building and leveraging relationships to create a win-win for everyone involved – and that’s what we’re here to do! To ensure this community is a space that achieves that mission, here are some guidelines I’d like to ask all of you to be mindful of as you engage in this community.
Foster genuine connections
Business opportunities flourish through authentic connections. Engage with others in a way that shows genuine interest and care by sharing your experiences, listening actively, and being open to learning from one another. Collaboration over competition is what we’re doing here.
No slimy sales tactics
This is a no-slimy-sales zone. If you have an offer, awesome! Drop it in the #shareyourstuff or #promoteyourself channel… not
Communicate with kindness and respect
Kindness, consideration, and empathy are expected in this community. Constructive #feedback is welcome as long as it is courteous and considerate. Discrimination, harassment, or any form of disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. This is a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We will all treat every member with dignity and respect.
Be professional and supportive
While I encourage friendly and informal interactions, remember that this is a professional community. Maintain a level of professionalism in your communications and be mindful of the content you share. We are here to support and connect with one another. Share your knowledge, offer help, and celebrate each other’s successes. When we lift each other up, we all thrive.
This is your community
Your active participation helps The Network grow stronger. Introduce yourself in the aptly named #introduce-yourself
Together, we can build a thriving community that fosters genuine relationships and opens doors to new opportunities.
Growth happens in good company.
This is your invitation to a network of like-minded B2B service providers excited and ready to collaborate with you. Join us in Slack for authentic connections, collaboration, and endless opportunities to grow together.
Meet the connector behind the magic
The Network is my absolute favorite place to be.
I’ve always been a connector. An includer with a knack for introducing the right people to do business together. You’ve probably felt it if you’ve been on the receiving end of an introduction from me. That warm hug of ‘you’re amazing and you need to talk about this with so-and-so’. And you do. And you make money as a result.
This space has grown organically since 2021 – and more rapidly in the last year or so. It’s my favorite place to show up and hang out. Whether at a carefully curated event with guest speakers, a standard Speed Networking or Business Mindset Monday event, or in a slack thread chatting about something interesting.
I can tell you this: the people in this community are the most incredible, generous business owners on the planet, and this slack channel is ripe for connecting in the ways you’ve been hoping for in your business – deep connections with well-connected people ready to become strategic referral partners.
Stuff people always ask (so you don’t have to)
What's the cost to join?
Right now, it’s completely free to join. That may change in the future, but the intention has always been to keep this accessible and values-aligned for B2B service providers who want to build with generosity at the center.
How much time do I need to commit?
This isn’t a course or a program—it’s a community. That means you can participate as much or as little as you’d like at your own pace. We do recommend attending at least one event a month and checking Slack regularly to stay plugged in and visible
Remember: you get out what you put in.
Can I promote my offers?
Yes! We have two channels specifically for that:
-
#shareyourstuff— for free resources, tools, or offers you think others would genuinely find helpful -
#promoteyourself— for your paid offers, launches, workshops, and anything you’re selling
We ask that you lead with generosity in the community and use these channels thoughtfully, not as a megaphone.
Can I invite others?
Absolutely! We’d love to share this space with the colleagues and people you adore!
What if I'm introverted or not all that active on Slack?
You’re not alone—and you’re absolutely welcome here. You don’t have to be loud or constantly posting to be part of the community. Many members show up in quieter ways: attending events, sending thoughtful DMs, making referrals behind the scenes.
We value presence over performance.
What if I don't know anyone yet?
Most people join not knowing anyone. That’s kind of the point. You’ll quickly find that this is one of the most welcoming corners of the internet. Start by hopping in the #introduce-yourself channel, jumping into a convo, or attending a low-pressure event like Speed Networking. It won’t take long before you feel like part of the crew.
Do I need to come to events to participate?
Most events are held during afternoon U.S. business hours and are informal—but if you can’t make them, that’s okay. You can still engage in Slack, make connections, ask for feedback, and give value. Many members get a ton out of the space without attending every event.
PS. Most sessions are recorded and sent to the registration list post-call
Is this for me if I’m still building or pivoting my business?
Yes—as long as you’re a B2B service provider and aligned with the values of collaboration, generosity, and mutual support. Whether you’re just starting out, evolving your offer, or scaling a small team, there’s space for you here. And plenty of wisdom to tap into.
