History

What happened in those rooms.

What happened in those rooms is well documented. And it’s happening again right now.

2017

BusinessGPS launches its first chapter out of the NexCore building in St. Louis and grows to multiple chapters. From the first weeks, its rooms taught the same four practices members learn today: Listen, Invest, Nurture, Kindle.

What the rooms produced

Relationships that outlived the meetings.

New partnerships formed between members. New businesses created.

One member walked in as an employee — and walked out a founder. Her company now has employees of its own. One of them is a BusinessGPS member.

“The relationships built in that first year of BusinessGPS are some of my strongest business relationships today. And that was nearly ten years ago.”

Jim Shelvy · Founder
