In the Idea Collective we don’t host events full of lead magnet fluff. Our guests are required to give the information you need to act and grow. Check back here often for free events everyone can join and a few of our premium events happening inside the Idea Collective Small Business Incubator (marked premium). Don’t miss a thing by joining our free Facebook Group and by subscribing to our newsletter.
What is the Idea Slam? Glad you asked.
In the Idea Collective Incubator community, we hold Eight (8) hour-long group brainstorming meetings per month to help you create fresh promotions and solve tough problems in your business. Whether you are wondering how to handle a client situation, need a name for a new program you are offering, or discovering ways to market your business, we can help.
Typically, there are 3-5 people who come to the meeting needing support. The other 7-10 people are there to offer suggestions and brainstorm.
Attendees include the growing family of like-minded and supportive Solopreneurs and Scaling Small Business Owners.
So what are you waiting for?
Follow-Up Strategies That Will Get More Clients and Close More Sales
If follow-up is a hard heavy “to do” then this Follow-Up Sales Strategies Presentation is for you. You’ll learn that follow-up is merely a matter of having effective habits and good systems in place. If you struggle to get your follow-up work done, it’s not because you don’t have time, you’re not organized or you’re not good at sales…it’s because you haven’t learned the right systems and skill set. Understanding this will help put you in the flow of ease of getting this all-important work done on a daily basis.

Strategic Partnerships: How to Grow Your Network and Net Worth
Strategic partners are considered your centers of influence or maybe you call them your board of directors. No matter what your profession is, having strategic partners is a vital part of growing your business.
Finding partners that complement (not compete with) your strengths is key. We all have areas of our business we are not good at, so find someone who shines in that area and form a strategic partnership to grow personally and professionally. At the end, Taren and Lisa will help one participant form a list of possible strategic partners.

The Pat Miller Show is a live show that serves Small Businesses in each show by solving problems, capturing opportunities, and celebrating successes.
Pat is looking to help Small Business Owners, live without a net.
I'm basically speechless. Never have I ever been to a more incredible event for business. I cannot wait to crush my goals and show up to 2022 with them checked off. I deepened existing relationships and more and more importantly got a firmer direction on what I need to do as the leader of my company and what my company needs to do as the leading small business bookkeeping and tax firm 🙂 Thank you Pat for creating space for all of us CEOs to take time to have fun, work and inspiration so that we can change the world!
Megan Schwan
CEO Sidekick Accounting Services
This weekend, not only did I get to help business owners gain clarity around setting themselves up tor success, I hit one of my own goals! I was on the speaker list with Mel Effin’ Robbins and the glorious man in the yellow tux Jesse Cole for this event! As I got serious about being a speaker that delivers for business owners ready to scale, I had to put the work in. I worked on my talks (Thank you to my amazing mentors Pat Quinn and Pete Vargas). I honed my expertise on best practices for Hiring & Management and grew my passion for ensuring that people could use a repeatable process to identify a business need for clarity and results. And then… I put myself out there. Asking for what I wanted and what will allow me to serve more business owners! Yep THAT was the hard part. Thank you Pat Miller for putting me on this event stage (for two talks!) Like I said at the Idea Collective Retreat… It’s not magic. It’s about making the space and time to identify what you want so you can move toward it every step of the way!
