The program helping small business owners double their revenue.

Small Business Flight School

Your number one fear as a business owner is running out of money.

Without a proven plan for growth, that’s exactly what will happen.

When you guess at how to grow your business you:

  • Constantly worry about cash flow.

  • Waste time and money on strategies that don’t work.

  • Feel like the chaotic startup phase never ends.

Eleven years ago, Donald Miller lost his entire life savings in a failed venture.

Today, he owns a $17M business that he built from the ground up. Small Business Flight School will teach you everything Donald learned so you can scale your business, too. This isn't a business philosophy course with theories that don't work in the real world. It's a hands-on program designed to help small business owners double their revenue with a growth system that works.
