We meet monthly to tackle key entrepreneurial challenges.
Running a small business can be isolating.
- Mastermind groups provide a sense of community and support, allowing entrepreneurs to share their experiences and challenges.
- Entrepreneurs often struggle with accountability when they are their own bosses. Mastermind groups help members set goals and hold each other accountable for progress.
- No entrepreneur can be an expert in every aspect of running a business. Mastermind groups bring together diverse skills and knowledge, offering a platform for learning and development.
Welcome to the HIVE!

Welcoming Environment
Where everyone feels comfortable!
Each month, we will gather in person to share insights, support each other, and tackle the unique challenges of running a small business. Our journey together is designed to foster growth, inspire innovation, and build lasting connections.
Small Group

As we explore themes like websites, productivity, marketing, financials, leadership, innovation, and work-life balance, I hope you’ll gain valuable knowledge, fresh perspectives, and the encouragement you need to thrive.
Hi, I’m Gretchen

Overcoming personal challenges and finding strength through yoga ignited my entrepreneurial spirit, inspiring me to create a space where others could find empowerment, balance, and growth. Bee Yoga Fusion has flourished into a diverse community, offering classes, workshops, and digital courses for individuals of all ages and abilities.
With fifteen years of experience running a successful small business, I understand the journey you are on. I know the challenges and triumphs of running a small business.

One of the key takeaways from surviving the pandemic as a small business was the value and importance of connection and community. In this supportive space, you’ll find like-minded individuals who understand the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. We’re here to celebrate your successes, help you navigate obstacles, and cheer you on every step of the way.

This is the best investment you’ll ever make for your business.

Additional Information:
Who is this group for?
If you are a small business owner, whether a solopreneur or have staff or independent contractors, you are welcome. We ask that this be your full-time job. This group is not for folks building a side hustle.
Whatever gender you identify as you are welcome!
What if I can’t make a meeting?
Life happens; we all understand that. However, the conversation will continue in the private community group. So join the online conversation and ask questions about what you missed.
Why do we have to pay in advance? Can I join later?
I want this space to feel safe for everyone who participates to share their experiences and build connections with other small business owners. Allowing folks to join mid-way through the year changes the dynamic of the group’s energy. Paying in advance is like telling yourself that you are committing to the growth of your business; you deserve this!
is the space handicap accessible?
Unfortunately, no. Bee Yoga Fusion is located in a historic building, and to access the entrance, you need to be able to climb a flight of stairs.
How should I dress?
Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. There is no dress code, and though this is a business group, don’t feel you must dress to impress.
What type of businesses will participate?
My goal is to have a diverse group of business owners. From yoga studio owner to real estate agents to online influencers to lawyers to brick-and-mortar stores…my hope is that we have a diverse representation of business types within the group.
Will you offer an evening time slot?
If we have enough interest in an evening time slot I will add an additional group. Please email me Gretchen@beeyogafusion.com to let me know you are interested in being in an evening group.
