The Journey Is Hard, Don't Go It Alone
Loneliness. Doubt. Knowledge gaps. No peer group for support. No direct access to experts. Relentless distractions. Confusion about tools. Fear of rejection.
Entrepreneurs battle these struggles every day. These struggles can lead to unfocused action, wasted resources, poor decision making, and feelings of overwhelm. Faced with these struggles, it's no wonder why so many entrepreneurs burn out far short of achieving their dreams.
This difficult terrain is all part of the entrepreneurial journey. It'll never be easy. Success will never be guaranteed. But the probability of success—building a profitable business on your own terms—can be dramatically improved by joining forces with others who share your value system and a common goal.
Introducing SPI Pro
At SPI, we're proud to serve a worldwide community of online entrepreneurs in the startup phase of their businesses. This community is public—we rally around our public content and open channels. We've never had a private community…until now!
SPI Pro is our private community for growth-minded entrepreneurs motivated by purpose, committed to self-discovery, willing to do the work, and eager to create their own luck.
All entrepreneurial journeys are unique, but they can all benefit from things like:
- Cutting edge education
- Immersive training
- Professional networking
- Interactive collaborations
- Access to proven advice and powerful tools
Finding value from those experiences is only possible when the culture providing those experiences is rooted in a most sacred quality: safety.
Above All, It's Safe Here
The need for safe places that can be trusted to provide acceptance, development, privacy, and compassion has never been more important. That ethos is the beating heart of SPI Pro.
From that heartbeat flow our community tenets and benefits:
- A safe place to ask questions, experiment with ideas, practice pitches, commit to challenges, and generally learn and grow without fear of judgment or rejection.
- Relationship building opportunities with like-minded entrepreneurs that can yield solutions to problems, lead to prosperous partnerships, and establish friendships.
- First access to new business concepts, content, and other offerings from SPI.
- A community that welcomes members from diverse backgrounds including race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, neurodiversity, and physical ableness.
- A focused environment to accelerate learning and networking due to the absence of fluff content, noisy discussion channels, and immature members.
- A privacy-first attitude toward all current and future aspects of the community.
We're thrilled to establish such a nurturing ecosystem in a singular community void of hate, hype, distractions, tire-kickers, and non-starters. This is where serious entrepreneurs jumpstart their ventures, and it’s where they return time and again to stay sharp, make new discoveries, expand their networks, and elevate their potential.
Inside SPI Pro
Out-of-the-box community paradigms may work for some, but not us. We enjoy pushing the boundaries, being ourselves, and responding to the needs of our audience. That mentality led us to imagining a unique community experience for SPI Pro.
Specifically, SPI Pro is architected upon three core pillars:
1. Private Community
- Learning channels for discussions around skill development topics such as podcasting, affiliate marketing, and email marketing
- Discovery channels for member networking, collaborations, and more
- Monthly challenges that encourage, support, and reward member growth
- Pitch opportunities where members can get exposure for their new thing
- Private channels for focused discussions among member cohorts
- Private 1:1 messaging between community members
2. Curated Masterminds
One of the most popular aspects of SPI Pro membership is our curated masterminds. Every quarter when new members enroll in SPI Pro, we invite members to apply to join a mastermind.
Based on the nature of your business, your current focus, the age of your business, and more, we will hand match you with a small handful of other Pros with similar businesses and goals.
After several months, we have dozens of masterminds running strong. And we maintain a Mastermind Directory for you to join an existing group at any time.
“I have been continually blown away by the value that I'm getting out of being part of the SPI Pro community.”

Motivated Members Wanted
Growth-minded. Driven by purpose. Committed to self-awareness. Willing to work hard. Eager to create your own luck. If that sounds like you, and if you've been looking for a private community of like-minded entrepreneurs to join forces with, then we'd love to welcome you into SPI Pro.
SPI Pro is intentionally highly curated. That's special—for us and for you. It's a moment of exploration. It's a moment of innovation. It's a moment to establish deep roots. If you feel extra motivation to be a part of something special from the very beginning, now is the opportune moment to become an early member of our private community.
But first, let's see if SPI Pro is a good match for you:

What Pro members are saying

Mike Lander
The SPI Pro Community came at a time in my life where I began to completely focus on growing my business. I was getting exciting ideas, learning new things and had no one to share my journey with because my friends and family had no idea what I was talking about. Then comes SPI Pro and when I joined it, I no longer felt like I was on this journey alone. There were people who knew what I was talking about, understanding my struggle to pivot during this pandemic, and we are all helping each other. It felt good to be a part of a community. Something I didn’t have before.”
Erica James
I have created a new online business and presence after being a chiropractor for 28 years. This is a completely new and foreign arena for me and insecurity, doubt, and fear are always lingering nearby when I feel out of my league. But, I made a decision to learn and move forward with this, surround myself with like-minded people, and keep going.
Joining SPI Pro has been the best thing I have done for myself and my brand.
When I feel vulnerable, I can safely turn to my SPI Community for answers, support, and encouragement. Everyone is so generous with their time and knowledge! And Pat Flynn and his team are active participants as well!
If you are looking for a nurturing community to help grow and expand your business, SPI Pro is the answer!”
Dr. Laura Jaget
In just a few months of joining SPI Pro I’ve found the help I’ve needed to launch my first book, segment my email list, find contract help, and to strategically plan my content and launches. There is truly something for every entrepreneur in SPI Pro.
I’ve loved connecting with like-minded business owners, who, like Pat, are truly committed to helping others out and are constantly working to become better themselves. And Pat’s team goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is taken care of!
Each time I’ve hit a roadblock over the past few months, I’ve sent a DM to another member or attended a live class and my question was answered. I’m confident that I will be able to reach my business and personal goals because of SPI Pro, and when I reach my goals, I get to help more people. And that’s why I’m here!”
Andrea Davis
I was following SPI for about 6 years now and I always imagined what it would be like if they organised a platform for the SPI community. I imagined a lot of awesome stuff but this is WAY beyond that!
I was always alone on my entrepreneurial journey because my friends and family never understood what I do and why I do that. I never thought that there exists a place with like-minded and determined entrepreneurs who want to contribute to the world while living a life of freedom and happiness. But SPI Pro is such a place. Not only that, but there are also SO MANY of such people in this place!
SPI Pro is an amazing place where you can connect with people who understand you and help you with everything they’ve got. SPI Pro is worth 100x more than the actual price!”
Zhenya
I was expecting SPI Pro to be a great place to learn and network…and it is.
What I didn’t expect was the community would provide so much motivation for me.
Since I began with SPI Pro, I’ve started creating videos for my sports instruction website. I had tried this before and didn’t get much traction. But other people on SPI Pro really convince me this is critical for my brand. It’s been extremely successful with over 1,000 video views in a couple of weeks so I now have a whole new audience from YouTube.
I’ve also started growing a new community in an underserved niche.
This is a direct result of being part of SPI Pro and I expect it to be a success with support from the SPI Pro community”
