The No More 9 to 5 Club
The No More 9 to 5 Club is a growth ecosystem founded by Jason McNamara that trains entrepreneurs at every stage. We recommend it because the fit is precise: they train the people who become local-business owners; Good Circles gives those owners a marketplace that keeps 89% of their profit.
Why the two fit end-to-end
Starting a local business is a journey: you decide to leave the 9-to-5, build skills and pick an offer, find your first customers, then sell and scale. The No More 9 to 5 Club owns the early stages and the scale stage — clarity, training, coaching, and systems. Good Circles owns the middle: a marketplace where you list free, keep 89% of your profit, and your customers save about 10% while funding a local cause.
