You’re in the Right Place

Being here suggests you’re ready for something to change. And that matters — because the Success Circle isn’t for beginners, and it’s not for owners looking for shortcuts.

It’s for business owners who are actively building, facing real complexity, and recognizing that clarity, structure, and direction now matter more than sheer effort — and that the right guidance is more valuable than information itself.

That’s exactly what the Success Circle is built for.

The Success Circle is brainSHARE’s operating system for business owners — installed through the Playbook Series — so you stop relying on guesswork, instinct, or another scattered set of ideas.

And because every business is different, Joe’s guidance is built into the system — so you implement it correctly and completely, inside your business, not someone else’s.

All Playbooks are included at every stage. But the intensity of implementation guidance adjusts to match your growth stage — so you get the precision you need, right when it matters most.

If you’re ready to build with clarity and control — this is where it begins.

Here’s what’s happening.

As your business grows, the challenge becomes decision overload. The number of decisions increases — and the decisions themselves carry more weight. More people. More moving parts. More tradeoffs. More consequences.

That leads to second-guessing — reacting instead of responding — and carrying more of the business on your shoulders than you should. Your business has outgrown "effort" as a strategy. What’s missing is a way to navigate complexity with structure — so your effort produces traction again.

What the Success Circle Actually Is

The Success Circle exists for one reason: to help you run your business with clarity, judgment, and control — even as complexity increases.

Most owners don’t need more information — they need structure they can actually use. That’s what The Success Circle delivers. Not as a course or content library, but as a business operating system — installed through the Playbook Series — so you can run your business with structure instead of guesswork.

And because every business is different, Joe’s guidance helps ensure it’s implemented correctly and completely — inside your unique business.

Does This Feel Familiar?

You’re bombarded from all directions — AI tools, employees, customers, news, the people who count on you at home, and everything else — and making high-stakes decisions can feel like sorting through endless search results: lots of advice, plenty of confidence, but nothing that truly fits your business.

If that’s you, The Success Circle gives you a clear structure for making decisions — plus guidance that helps you apply it to your business — so you can cut through the noise and know what fits.

Does This Feel Familiar?
Built for Business Owners Who...

Bombarded with advice — and still unsure what fits

Are done trying to solve growth with effort alone — and want a structure that holds when things get complex.

Making high-stakes decisions without enough structure

Need clarity in the middle of real pressure — decisions, people, cash flow, and competing inputs.

Tired of carrying too much of the complexity

Want a system that fits their business — Growth is here — not generic advice that works somewhere else.

Ready to stop reacting and start leading with control

Are ready to implement structure correctly and completely — so the business stops depending on constant improvisation.

Looking for a system you can actually implement

Lead with clarity. Build with structure. Execute with control.

The Three Stages of The Success Circle

The Success Circle is designed for business owners who want a structure that’s strong enough — yet flexible enough — to maintain as the business gets more complex and the decisions carry more weight. Every stage includes the full Playbook Series, but the intensity of implementation guidance changes. As a result, you’ll know what applies, what comes first, and what “done” actually looks like in your business. And this isn’t meant to be a forever path. You may complete one Stage or continue through all three — the path is structured, but it’s not one-size-fits-all. Each stage is built to be completed within a realistic time frame, with Joe’s guidance built into the process so the structure is implemented correctly, completely, and in a way that fits your unique business situation. Continuity is woven throughout the Circle to keep your implementation connected as you progress.

Stage 1: Foundation (3–6 months)

This stage is where structure begins. You work through the fundamentals that everything else depends on — including the Mindset, Goals, and Time Playbooks — and start applying them inside your business so you’re no longer relying on memory, instinct, or sheer effort to keep things moving.

Guidance in Foundation is designed to help you implement the system in the right order, with clarity and confidence, so the base is solid before you expand.

Stage 2: Strategic Growth (6–9 months)

Once the foundation is in place, the pressure shifts. Growth creates new demands — more people, more moving parts, more decisions — and now the structure you’ve built needs to be strengthened and applied across the day-to-day reality of the business.

Strategic Growth is where you apply the full Playbook Series to build operational consistency, sharpen execution, and establish leadership rhythm so progress doesn’t depend on constant improvisation.

Guidance at this stage becomes more situation-specific and focused on the decisions you’re facing now. This helps you translate the Playbooks into real priorities and real implementation inside your unique business situation.

Stage 3: Executive Authority (6–12 months)

At this stage, the goal is simple: the business runs with strength and consistency without depending on your constant presence. You lead as the executive — setting direction, building leaders, and ensuring the systems hold even under pressure.

Executive Authority is where you use the full Playbook Series to deepen delegation, strengthen accountability, and build the management structure that supports scale without chaos.

Guidance at this stage is designed to help you apply structure at the highest level — refining what’s already in place, strengthening what’s cracking under pressure, and ensuring the business can perform consistently as complexity increases.

The brainSHARE Way: Structure + Guidance That Fits Your Business

Why tools aren’t enough

There’s no shortage of sophisticated tools available to today’s business owner. You can automate tasks, track performance, and move faster than ever. But tools don’t tell you what matters most, what comes first, or what “done” actually looks like inside the realities of your business.

That’s the intentional difference of The Success Circle.

Technology does what it’s designed to do: organize, automate, and accelerate. But judgment — deciding what to prioritize, what to ignore, what to fix now, and what can wait — is still the owner’s job. The Success Circle strengthens that judgment by pairing structure with guidance, so you’re not just collecting tools… you’re applying them correctly.

How Joe’s guidance shows up

And because you don’t need to be babysat, the Circle isn’t built around ongoing one-on-one dependency. Joe’s expertise is delivered through structured mechanisms that respect both your time and his, so you get the right guidance at the moments that matter — in the right format, for the right amount of time.

While you’re inside a Stage, guidance is focused on correct implementation:

  • Structured group sessions focused on what owners are facing right now
  • Targeted teaching that turns real situations into clear direction
  • Clear implementation checkpoints so you’ll know what to do next — and what “done” looks like
  • Defined ways to submit questions, scenarios, or stuck points and receive guidance that helps you move forward with precision
  • Community proximity with owners using the same structure and language

Depending on what you need, guidance can take the form of focused Deep Dives, concise video responses, written feedback, and a growing library of real examples from inside the Circle. The format serves the guidance — not the other way around.

The Playbook Series

Inside The Success Circle, you get the complete Playbook Series — twelve Playbooks built to strengthen the core components of a business and give you, as a leader, the structure to lead with confidence. As your company matures, the demands shift, and certain Playbooks become more significant at different stages of growth. That’s why the stages of The Success Circle are designed as they are — so you’re always applying the right Playbooks for the season you’re in. And it all starts with the Mindset, Goals, and Time Playbooks, because they lay the foundation that turns effort into traction and helps you lead with clarity and certainty.

Foundation Stage
Mindset Playbook

Mindset

Not motivation — ownership. How you think, decide, lead, and what you tolerate.

Foundation Stage
Goals Playbook

Goals

Clear direction and measurable targets, so effort is aligned and progress is real — not just busy.

Foundation Stage
Time Playbook

Time

The use of time, not “time management.” Control of attention, priorities, and execution at every stage.

Standards Playbook

Standards

How you operate the business. Not repeating problems, but building consistency that scales.

Finance Playbook

Learn to measure communication by response — so your message lands, aligns people, and drives action.

Sales Playbook

Educate potential clients so they can clearly decide if your offer improves their business or life.

Marketing Playbook

The process of generating quality leads, creating irresistible offers, and driving real growth.

Strategic Compass Playbook

Strategic Compass

Establish the four pillars that clarify who you are, what you stand for, and why people can rely on you.

Systems Playbook

Valuation Playbook

All twelve Playbooks work together to give you a complete system for running your business with structure and confidence — so you’re not guessing, patching, or piecing things together as you grow. And while the Playbooks give you the structure, The Success Circle gives you the guidance to apply it correctly inside your business.

What the Foundation Enables

When the Foundation is strong — and you have the right guidance at the right moments — the business starts to feel different. Not because you’re working harder, but because you’re operating with clarity and order.

You make decisions faster, with fewer blind spots and less second-guessing. Priorities get cleaner. Conversations with your team get simpler. And instead of carrying everything in your head, you’re able to lead with structure that others can follow.

That creates something most owners are chasing without realizing it: sustainable momentum. Progress that doesn’t depend on heroics, constant firefighting, or pushing harder every month just to stay ahead.

The end result isn’t just a better business. It’s a better owner experience — more confidence, more control, and a stronger sense that you’re steering the business instead of being pulled by it.

Clarity: faster decisions, fewer blind spots.
Structure: cleaner priorities, simpler team conversations.
Momentum: progress without heroics or firefighting.

Staying Connected as You Build

We know the value of staying close to the structure and the thinking that helped you create momentum in the first place. That’s the role of brainSHARE Continuity — keeping the Circle present as you build, not just after a milestone is reached.

Because business doesn’t get simpler as it grows. New decisions show up. New pressures hit. And even strong owners can lose clarity when they’re back in the noise without the right reference points.

Continuity keeps you connected to the Circle through lighter-touch guidance and proximity — shared language, community context, and defined ways to bring forward questions or scenarios when clarity matters. The goal isn’t to rebuild. It’s to stay aligned with the structure, thinking, and examples that keep decisions clean and execution steady.

Investment & Commitment

The Success Circle is a structured implementation path — not an open-ended program. It operates as a single, ongoing Private Network designed to support you as your business evolves.

For $199 per month, you gain access to the complete Success Circle system. Most owners complete all three Stages in about 24 months and every Stage includes the complete Playbook Series. What changes as you progress is the intensity and focus of implementation guidance, not your access to the system.

Foundation is the prerequisite for Strategic Growth and Executive Authority. When it’s done correctly and completely, the next Stages can be built on a solid base, not guesswork or patchwork.

Stage 1: Foundation (3–6 months)
This is where structure begins. You work through the fundamentals everything else depends on — starting with Mindset, Goals, and Time — and apply them inside your business so you’re no longer relying on memory, instinct, or sheer effort to keep things moving.

Stage 2: Strategic Growth (6–9 months)
Once Foundation is in place, the pressure shifts. Growth creates new demands — more people, more moving parts, more decisions — and the structure you’ve built needs to be strengthened and applied across the day-to-day reality of the business.

Strategic Growth focuses on situation-specific guidance for the decisions you’re facing now, helping you translate the Playbooks into real priorities and consistent execution.

Stage 3: Executive Authority (6–12 months)
With Foundation and Strategic Growth established, the goal is simple: the business runs with strength and consistency without depending on your constant presence.

Executive Authority focuses on delegation, accountability, and leadership structure — so you lead as the executive, setting direction and ensuring the systems hold even under pressure.

Continuity (included throughout)
Continuity keeps your implementation connected — so progress compounds. It reinforces shared language, structure, and decision-making as you move through the Stages, helping prevent drift and keeping the system active as the business evolves.

Continuity does not imply ongoing private 1:1 time with Joe. Any direct 1:1 support is structured separately.

Consistency & Commitment
The Success Circle rewards consistent implementation — that’s where the change happens. Consistency is what allows you to maintain the foundational components in a way that can sustain your business, and it’s what makes the later Playbook easier to implement without backsliding.

And it takes commitment. When you demonstrate that the system matters enough to follow through, your people follow the standards you put in place. When you don’t, the standards fade and the business can drift back into reaction mode.

Anchor-Common Questions

Common Questions

Yes — and that’s exactly why the Circle is built the way it is. The platform gives you the fundamentals at your own pace, and the guidance is there when you need it. This isn’t designed to add more to your calendar. It’s designed to help you make better decisions with the time you already have.
You’re not required to show up live every time. Each Deep Dive includes an instructional component, and that portion is recorded and made available as a replay, so you can stay current even if your schedule doesn’t allow you to attend.

The open discussion portion is intentionally not recorded. That space is meant to be candid, practical, and owner-to-owner — so people can speak openly without worrying about being on a recording.
No. The Success Circle isn’t built around hype, motivation, or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s a foundational operating layer — structure delivered through the platform, paired with human guidance so you can apply it correctly in your own business.
No. The Circle is designed to build your judgment, not replace it. Mentoring is there to help you interpret complexity at key moments and avoid misapplication, but the goal is always for you to lead with increasing clarity and confidence.
