In addition to the benefits of being certified local, Indiana Owned members get access to a mastermind community for small business owners, their team members, and trusted advisors who are serious about growing smarter—not just busier. This is where passionate leaders come together to share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and get the kind of real-world support you can’t find in a free Facebook group.
Whether you're refining your customer experience, improving your space, or mapping your next big move, this group is here to help you lead local—and lead well. Inside, you’ll find:
Display the Indiana Owned badge on your storefront, website, and marketing to show customers your business is truly local. Certification helps consumers easily identify and support Indiana-based businesses.
Get featured on IndianaOwned.com with a direct link to all your business websites, plus inclusion in seasonal promotions, interviews, email campaigns, and media outreach.
Access custom-designed graphics, signs, social posts, and promotional tools featuring our Support Local message—perfect for your storefront, website, and social media.
Get direct access to Mel for honest feedback, thoughtful insight, and the kind of support that comes from someone who truly understands what it takes to run a local business.
Join a group of like-minded business owners who know the realities of leading locally. Swap ideas, share experiences, and collaborate with peers who are in it with you—not above you.
Inside the group, you'll find ready-to-use resources, practical tools, and straightforward conversations that cut through the noise and help you lead your business with clarity and purpose.
Bring your questions, half-formed ideas, and real-world challenges to a safe space built for testing, solving, and staying on track—without fear of judgment.
Join our paid mastermind group for daily business prompts, behind-the-scenes support, in-person events, and exclusive access to business growth strategies led by me.
Here’s how it works:
*I lead with daily prompts designed to stretch your thinking, spark new ideas, and move you forward—one smart step at a time.
*Only I post the questions. You engage, reflect, and learn through the conversation.
*Prompts include topics like business growth, mindset, collaboration, strategy, reflection, marketing, and more.
*You will connect with others who understand what you’re building and why it matters.
*We host in-person meetups and workshops throughout the year to deepen relationships, share resources, and work on your business—not just in it.
*You do not need to participate in the online group to be an Indiana Owned member, but it is encouraged.
This space is for business owners who want to grow intentionally, stay accountable, and lead local with purpose. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
That’s it. No monthly subscription, no recurring charges. Just a one-time investment for lifetime access to the group and everything that comes with it.
