Our Story
In 2020, Fred Parrish of The Profit Experts had an idea about developing a new type of business networking organization that better prepared small businesses and entrepreneurs to be more successful.
To test this concept Fred developed a framework centered around a “live” meeting that ended up being called Prepping for the Sharks.
This business model included a complete meeting structure and presentation format to benefit small business. Monthly meetings were held with growing attendance over an eighteen month period.
COVID ended up taking the wind out of the sails for this startup, and was put on hold until recently. A dream team put together an updated and enhanced Prepping for the Sharks program. The new show will be broadcasted live in 2025.

but were afraid to ask!
It's the mechanism to implement
everything I teach about working
ON your business vs. IN it!”
