Let’s be real…
Business is hard.
And sometimes really lonely.
You’re juggling all the hats, calling all the shots, and taking wild guesses to figure out what will work.
It’s all on your shoulders and that gets heavy.
But there is another way.
According to SBA.gov, you can double your rate of success with one simple addition:
Research shows that while 35% of businesses make it to the 5 year mark alone, a whopping 70% make it when they add a mentor to their team.
I experienced this firsthand…going from burned out business owner, stuck at 5k months, but thinking I was doing it all right…
Until a mentor peered over my shoulder, pointed out what I couldn’t see, and I went to 300k/yr over the next 18 months and have now grown a multi-million dollar business and net worth.
Since then I’ve become so passionate about the power of small business, and about providing what is so hard to find…
Not just content and courses….
Real, personalized, 1:1 mentoring and community.
The Inner Circle
— with Tara Wagner —
BREAKTHROUGH COACHING FOR THOSE WHO MEAN BUSINESS
Faster Results
Unlimited Mentoring
No More Bottlenecks
Imagine if...
- Someone helped you design the EXACT roadmap to your business...
- You knew precisely where to focus for increased profit, and what you could safely take off your plate without losing revenue...
- You learned what seasoned entrepreneurs know about taking yourself OUT of your business without it falling apart...
- You had one off those seasoned entrepreneurs in your back pocket...24/7, no restrictions, and no topic off limits
- You had a safe, nonjudgmental, and encouraging space full of like-minded people that believed in you, and helped you to play bigger
What would that do for you?

What IS the Inner Circle exactly?
The Inner Circle is a 12-month hybrid group and 1:1 mentoring program helping service-based business owners scale their profits without burning out.
Full details on the hybrid program are shared via application only.
Who this Inner Circle ideal for...
The Seasoned Small Biz Owner
You’re making good money, but you’ve hit a plateau (or a dip). You have too much on your plate, or too many ideas, and you’re not sure what to focus on (or fix) to grow further. You’re tired of doing it alone, and know the value of a mentor to reach the next level.
The "Messy Middle" Biz Owner
You’ve been in business for 1+ years, you’re making some money, but it’s not enough and comes with waaaaay too much work. If you don’t do something quick, you’re gonna burn out, but you’re not sure what “work smarter, not harder” actually looks like or how to make more money without working more hours.
The (re)Startup Biz Owner
You’re NOT new to small business, but you’re starting a NEW business. You know the new biz you want to start, but you don’t want to make the mistakes of your past. You want to do things better than last time – you just need the right roadmap and guide this time around.
Tell me if this sounds like you...
You’re a service-based solopreneur (or have a tiny team).
You want to increase revenue and profits…but with so many ideas and tasks where do you even start?
The phrase “working ON your business, not IN your business” feels impossible with so much to do every day.
You’re tired of DIYing it all too – you want real guidance and shortcuts from someone who gets that burnout is not an option for you.
You aren’t looking for a cookie cutter business…
You want real business acumen and success, not to become a parrot of someone else.
If you are a small business owner who...
…Believes in profits over perfection, while still showing up to serve.
…Understands that “get-rich-quick” doesn’t actually exist, but going slower than necessary certainly does.
…Doesn’t struggle with follow-through, just with knowing what’s worth your time.
…Values and will implement feedback from a seasoned consultant, even when it’s tough.
…Is ready and financially able to invest in your business and make upgrades that will result in higher ROI.
Then apply for the Inner Circle today.

From 14k to 35k a month in 2 months
My revenues were dropping and I didn’t know why. Tara helped me quickly isolate the problem, make adjustments to my funnel, and within 60 days, I was not only back up to previous sales numbers, I’d increased my revenue by almost 15k per month!
Robert S., Executive Coach & Consultant

from 99k to 750k
In the first 3 months of working with Tara, I had fully booked out my therapy practice for the first time ever. Within a year, my practice had grown so much I was hiring therapists to work with me. Within 4.5 years since starting with Tara I am hitting 750k, with a team of therapists, working 2 days per week with clients, and am recognized as a leader and trainer in the industry of play therapy.
Kim F., LISW, RPT-S, USA

20k months in under a year
I launched my business in March 2020…right before the pandemic shut everything down. But I’m lucky enough to be married to a great mentor. 😉 Tara helped me map out my launch plan, figure out how to pivot during the pandemic, and handle the challenges along the way. I was making 10k/month within a few months, even during lockdown, then 20k months within a year working part-time. My girl knows her stuff.
Justin W., Finish Carpentry Contractor, USA

A Huge weight has been lifted
It’s only been a week in the Inner Circle and yet the support and guidance I have received to date have been invaluable! A huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders! Thank you, Tara and team.
Vincent R., Conservation and Restoration, UK

my business has grown by 25% year over year
When I started working with Tara, my business was doing okay, but I was wondering where my revenue was going and always running with very little profit. Now I’ve been able to create a business that fits my lifestyle, I’m running my business exactly how I want, I’ve seen it grow by 25% year over year, and my profit has improved substantially.

New to my world?
Hey, I'm Tara Wagner!
I’m an Accredited Small Business Consultant® helping real people build real businesses.
I’m an Enneagram 4w3, wife to my soulmate, mother to an adult nomad in his 20’s, and we have 2 adorable little fur babies that keep us company.
I’m also a lifelong entrepreneur with over 2 decades experience in small business, a multi-7 figure earner, and I live with multiple health disorders that forced me to figure out a better, healthy way to build a business.
I tried the hustle + grind approach in my first business in my 20’s – I worked 16 hour days, 7 days a week because I was told that’s what it took to be successful. It actually created some of the health conditions I’m still healing from over 15 years later, and it was hurting my family too. So no, I won’t let you make that mistake!
Now I help small biz owners like you learn how to do the same in your own life and business.
Why?
Because I want to see GOOD people making GOOD money so they can do more GOOD with it.
And small business is one the best vehicles of good in this world.
More praise for Tara and her Inner Circle

I have clarity
“…The Inner Circle has really affected the clarity that I have around the things that I need to do. I have much more clear ideas of what I need to do to market, who my target audience is, and I have started making more money month over month in the short time I’ve been working with her…”
Watch the video to hear her describe her experience and what you can expect in the Inner Circle:
Ana N. Operations Strategist, US

Wildfires shut me down...and I still increased profits by 50%!
I own a sustainability focused outdoor clothing brand, in a rural area of Northern California’s, Sierra Nevada mountain range. I’d been following Tara for YEARS, and already trusted her, but had no idea just how much knowledge and experience she had to bring to the table.
I was excitedly learning from her deep well of knowledge, changing my perspective on making money and shedding unhelpful beliefs, and was seeing massive results…
When the biggest wildfire in California’s recorded history broke out a few miles from my house.
Being evacuated, and helping support a displaced and heartbroken community was obviously not in the plans (neither were the new covid variants, or the whole manufacturing machine completely breaking down at the same time). I actually completely stopped everything business related for a second (months) there, and just focused on helping, and that was absolutely the right decision for myself, my family, and my community, because sometimes things happen and you have to deprioritize your business.
BUT even though it wasn’t realistic to reach all my goals that year, because of the mindset shifts and learning how to prioritize profit from the Inner Circle…. at the end of the year, I realized that despite the almost three months of completely dead sales during the wildfires I was still up 50% OVER last year’s profits!
What I learned inside the Inner Circle paid my bills while I took an unplanned break to help my community; it doesn’t get much better than that!
Britt H, Retail Clothing Brand, US

THIS Program MADE IT SO EASY.
The biggest impact you have had on my business is your voice in my ear helping me to prioritize, make the right decisions, and move forward.
You’ve helped me become aware of and navigate burnout, switching of roles in our business and home life, get through the worst agricultural drought our farm and hops business has faced, and still come within 4k of our financial goal with 2 more weeks to go! It is blowing my mind!
Stacey K, Hops Farmer & Soapmaker, Canada
Why I created The Inner Circle
We both know that information alone is not enough.
We can learn something and still not know what the hell to do with it.
We can also be so close to the problem that we can’t even see it.
This is the value of having a co-pilot.
I wanted to give other business owners the kind of mentoring I couldn’t find when I needed it:
Training + community and group coaching + unlimited 1:1 access to an Accredited Small Business Consultant®.
I know from experience that every business has the potential for 6 and 7 figure success.
You just need the right mentoring to get you there.
And that (and more) is exactly what you get inside the Inner Circle.
