What you'll accomplish

Founders

Their journey, their words

“I started my journey with Building Tulsa Business Coaching in September of 2023. I had this really great idea, but I didn't know how to make it into a reality. I didn't know what the next step would be or the step after that. At this point, I've won $10,000 because of the business idea that I have and because of the support and guidance that I received through the business coaching — it's been incredible to really dig into every aspect of the business and have someone there really guiding me and helping me figure out what's next.”
