PPG Education
Your business can only grow as far as you do. PPG Education is being built to help entrepreneurs keep learning: practical skills from people who have done it, alongside peers who get it. Tell us what you want to learn and we will build it with you.
Our approach
Learn it this week, use it in your business next week. No theory for its own sake.
Local business owners and experts sharing what actually worked, and what didn't.
Small groups of owners at a similar stage, holding each other accountable.
The topics, times and formats come from what members and guests tell us they need.
Topics
Business plans, structure and legal setup, pricing and your first customers.
Pitching, following up, referrals and turning conversations into clients.
Your brand, website, content and getting found by the right people.
Cash flow, bookkeeping basics, taxes, funding and knowing your numbers.
Your first hire, building a team, delegating and leading people well.
Tools that save time, from CRMs and automation to using AI in your business.
Ways to learn
Some of these are part of PPG today. Others are coming as the program grows, shaped by what you tell us.
Available now
Three members present every Friday.
Every PPG Friday, three members share what they do and what they have learned building their business.
Available now
Learn one-on-one from someone who has been there.
Find an experienced member you relate to, online or at a PPG event, and reach out with questions whenever you need advice.
Coming soon
Practical sessions where you leave with something done.
Small-group workshops on one topic at a time, built around doing, not just listening.
Coming soon
Deep dives from people at the top of their field.
Experienced owners and professionals teach what they know best, from negotiating to hiring to financing.
In planning
A small group of peers who help each other grow.
Meet regularly with a handful of owners at a similar stage to share challenges, ideas and goals.
In planning
Learn on your own schedule.
Short lessons you can watch when it suits you, so busy owners can keep learning between Fridays.
Your learning path
Get the foundations right: planning, pricing, legal setup and your first customers.
Turn what works into a system: sales, marketing, money and your first hires.
Scale with confidence: leadership, delegation, partnerships and new markets.
Teach, mentor and present, and help the next owner find their footing.
