I'm thrilled you're here! Thank you for joining! You'll find our Utah Approved directory HERE. Want to be added? Go to the Classroom tab → Join the Directory (it usually takes 1–2 days to go live). This group exists to connect Utah business owners with the people who actually need them. 👇 Start here by introducing yourself: - Where in Utah are you? - What do you do? - What’s something you'd love to try someday? Once you’ve commented, take a minute to reply to a couple of others (especially if they’re near you or doing something interesting). This group works best when we actually know each other! Then feel free to jump in and start sharing your business or what you’re looking for! WELCOME TO UTAH APPROVED 🤍

This group is me trying to fill a need I've seen! I'm in many groups on Facebook where people ask for a service (like a web designer, lawyer, specific type of doctor, etc.), and these types of things get in the way: - Maybe their post isn't seen by someone who can help - They get 100+ responses and then have to sort through to find one that actually works for them - They might not be aware of services that exist that could solve their problem, so they ask for A when what they really need is B Skool allows you to categorize your posts, making it harder to get lost in the weeds! It's also SEO friendly, meaning your posts can be pulled up in response to a Google search! When this group gets bigger, I'll add paid tiers, but to thank my founding members (up to the first 15 to join), I'll upgrade you for free on the backend! So while you won't pay for anything in this group, I will eventually turn on the affiliate option in Skool, meaning if you get someone into this group using your link, you'll get part of their monthly payment as long as they're in here! To be transparent: I'm new to running a group, so I want to hear any feedback you have (whether now or later)! Whether it's features, assets I should create, post category ideas, or wording that should be updated, I'm all ears!

At one point in your life you weren't a business owner, and something pushed you over the line to start your business! What changed?

It was initially hosted on Google Docs, but I've moved it to Notion so it's easier to filter and find exactly what kind of business you're looking for! Take a look and give me feedback (especially on your own listing if you have a business listed on here)! Link to the new directory. @Risse Hancock I think you're the only one who doesn't have an entry on here so far, and I see in your bio that you own Embrace Counseling! If you want to add it to our list, simply go to the Classroom tab and fill out the form 😊 And tell us in the comments about your clinic - I'm a huge advocate for therapy!

Utah has some amazing hidden gems! Which small business have you supported recently and in what way? And if YOU are a small business owner, promote yourself!
