About Us

Our Story

Hi, we are Jeff and Tracey. We are lifelong entrepreneurs and small business owners. Pre-pandemic, we owned multiple organizations, including a female fitness center with 800 members. In the first year of lockdowns and government mandates, we lost more than half of our members. With great regret, we had to shut our doors in October of 2021.

The truth is we did not have to lose this business but because there is only one narrative being promoted, the reality about what is happening in government and legislation is not getting exposed. The magnitude of the issues is enormous with much of it designed to choke small businesses.

We simply had to do something, so we started the Go Big Small Biz Network!

The Go Big Small Biz Network launched in August 2022 with little more than a vision to see small business united in a way that allows their voice to be heard and to support each other through advocacy, education and communication. The response from business owners, legislators and other associations has been incredible.

Collectively, we can give a Biz Voice to Small Business. Join the movement.
