  • You Belong Here LLC. 3619 El Cajon Boulevard San Diego, CA, 92104 United States (map)

It’s Like Business Therapy

If you're a small-business owner or aspiring creative entrepreneur who's looking for some morning inspiration and motivation, don't miss In Your Corner at You Belong Here.

COVID created a barrier to real real-life human connection. And it impacted the way we did business. We are still picking up the pieces of the chaos that was 2020-2022. Perhaps you pivoted. Added services. Changed your business model altogether. Started a new business. Maybe, if you are like us at You Belong Here, you are craving to sit down and talk about the lows and highs of operating a business with fellow entrepreneurs, coffee cup in hand.

When it comes to running a small business, most of us will admit that feedback from our peers is crucial. It helps us solve problems, work more efficiently, and holds us accountable to the goals and dreams that we've set for ourselves.

This informal discussion group allows attendees to connect with one another.

We'll take turns presenting a business idea or challenge to the group, in turn for supportive and constructive feedback that will help you make your next big move. Come armed with a goal that you'd like to achieve this next business quarter and get ready to make some new friends!

This Month's Theme: Working Ourselves Out of Impostor Syndrome

May is Small Business Month, and we're all about celebrating those who take the risk to start a business. It's thrilling and scary at the same time. If you're like us, as you're leveling up, it's not only a sign that you're meeting new challenges and growing. However, sometimes lurking BTS is feeling like you're an imposter. The feeling of not being good enough, the self-sabotage, and the voice that makes you want just close up shop and hide, causes you stress, self-doubt, and anxiety even though you're pretty good at what you do, then you're suffering from impostor syndrome.

You are not alone! All of us go through it at some point or another. Typically, it happens when you start marketing, adding services, developing a new target market, leveling up, or just starting shifts in your business.

It often is a lonely feeling not having others root for you! In Your Corner is literally about being there to support you in the thick of it! This next session we are switching it up!

This next session we're dedicating two hours to content creation. We want to celebrate all your accomplishments.

  • Let's share our top 5 successes between our businesses

  • Let's get feedback on where we're struggling and how we can grow from it

  • Make SMART goals

  • Commit to amplifying one another!

  • Before we leave, we'll make an IG reel celebrating our top 5 business successes to share with our community! Celebrate yo'self!


We'll start the day with breakfast and light networking.

We'll be practicing vocalizing and asking for what we need. This will include some light journaling and group breakout sessions for us to dig deeper and get the support we need from our fellow entrepreneurs.

We will also incorporate a resources board for valuable takeaways to help you with any challenges you may be facing.

Who is this for?

Open to all identities from any background and industry. Seating is limited. We're looking forward to meeting you!
