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 program. 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.

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.

That guidance shows up through structured group sessions, targeted teaching based on what owners are facing right now, and clear implementation checkpoints so you’ll know what to do next and whether you did it correctly. When something needs deeper clarity, you’ll have defined ways to submit questions, scenarios, or stuck points and receive guidance that helps you move forward with precision — so the structure is implemented correctly, completely, and in a way that fits your unique business situation.

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, how you decide, how you 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 real use of time, not “time management.” How you control attention, priorities, and execution at the level your business now requires.

Standards Playbook

Standards

The operating rules of your business. The difference between repeating problems and building consistency that scales.

Finance Playbook

Finance

Clarity and control. Knowing what the business is truly costing you, what it’s producing, and what must be true for it to work.

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.

How Guidance Shows Up (Without Dependence)

The Success Circle isn’t built around dependence on a mentor. It’s built around strengthening your judgment — so you can lead with clarity, even when the business gets complicated.

That said, there are moments when structure alone isn’t enough. When you’re facing a decision that has real consequences, when priorities feel blurred, or when you’re trying to apply the Playbooks to a situation that doesn’t fit neatly into a template, perspective matters.

That’s where mentoring comes in. Not as the engine of your business, but as a safeguard against misapplication. The role of the mentor is to help you interpret what you’re seeing, spot what you might be missing, and give you direction at the right moments so you don’t waste time, energy, or momentum moving the wrong thing forward.

Guidance shows up in two practical ways:

Twice-monthly Deep Dive sessions

These group conversations are where owners bring real challenges, decisions, and sticking points. You’ll get help translating the Playbooks into real-world application, so you leave with clearer thinking and a better next step — not just more ideas.

Option for 1:1 mentoring time

When a decision needs focused interpretation, you’ll have the option of direct time with a mentor. This is for moments when you need clarity, perspective, or judgment support — so you can move forward confidently without getting stuck in second-guessing.

The goal is simple: you don’t need someone to run your business for you. You need the right guidance at the right time — so you can run it better yourself.

What the Foundation Enables

When the fundamentals are 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.

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.

What’s Included In The Foundation Tier

Everything in the Foundation Tier is designed to give you the core operating layer first — without overwhelming you with extras or pulling you into advanced material before the fundamentals are solid.

The Five Foundational Playbooks

You’ll receive full access to the five non-negotiable Playbooks: Mindset, Time, Goals, Standards, and Finance — delivered through our platform so you can build understanding at your own pace and return to the material whenever you need it.

Twice-Monthly Deep Dive Sessions

You’ll be part of two guided group Deep Dives each month, where real business situations get interpreted through the Playbooks. These sessions are designed to help you apply what you’re learning to what’s actually happening in your business — in real time.

Option for 1:1 Mentoring Time

When focused interpretation or decision support is needed, you’ll have the option of direct time with a mentor. This is designed for moments when a decision matters, priorities feel blurred, or you want experienced perspective before you move forward.

Success Circle Access

You’ll have access to the Circle environment itself — a place to stay connected to the Playbooks, the Deep Dives, and the shared language of ownership as you build consistency in how you think, decide, and lead.

What Comes Next

The Foundation Tier is designed to stand on its own. But it’s also designed to lead somewhere.

Once the fundamentals are in place — and you’re operating with clearer structure and stronger judgment — there are additional modules available that build on this foundation and expand into higher-level ownership work.

Those advanced layers are accessed separately at higher levels of the Success Circle. They aren’t included here on purpose. The goal is to make sure the base is solid first, because everything that comes next depends on it.

When you’re ready, the next level is there. But the foundation is where your business becomes easier to lead.

Investment & Commitment

The Foundation Tier of the Success Circle is $199 per month.

There’s no contract, no urgency tactics, and no pressure to “decide today.” If it’s the right fit, you’ll know. If it’s not, you can cancel anytime.

Think of it less like buying content and more like investing in the ability to operate well — with structure, judgment, and guidance that helps you make cleaner decisions and lead with confidence as the business grows. The return isn’t just financial. It shows up in better priorities, better leadership, and steadier momentum — the kind that keeps paying dividends over time.

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 fundamentals in the Circle apply across industries. Whether you’re in contracting, professional services, healthcare, retail, or something else entirely, the responsibilities of ownership don’t change — and neither do the Playbooks that support them.
That’s often the best time to join. Success doesn’t reduce complexity — it increases it. The Circle helps you keep the business stable and scalable as decisions multiply, and it gives you a structure that prevents growth from becoming chaotic.
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.

If you’ve made it this far, you already know what you’re looking for: a stronger foundation, clearer thinking, and the kind of guidance that helps you make the right decisions at the right time — without carrying everything alone.

The Success Circle is designed to provide just that: structure you can rely on, mentoring that helps you apply it correctly, and a way of operating that makes the business easier to lead as it grows more complex.
