📅 Tuesday, May 14 | 10:00 AM–12:00 PM EST

🎟️ Free to attend

Hosted by Portsmouth local John St. Pierre, founder of 100M Journey and Entrepreneurs United

If you’re generating between $500K and $5M, have a team, and feel stuck in the weeds—you’re not alone. Join a room of growth-minded entrepreneurs for an honest, strategic conversation about what it really takes to break through the "messy middle".

The Messy Middle Is Real.

You’ve made it past the startup grind.

You’ve got clients. A team. Revenue.

But still…

  • You’re overwhelmed by decisions and unclear on what really moves the needle.
  • Your team depends on you for everything—and you’re exhausted.
  • Revenue has plateaued and margins feel tight.
  • You’re growing—but so are your problems.
  • And the worst part? It’s lonely at the top.

This is what we call the “messy middle”—and no one talks about it enough.

This Event Is Different. Here’s What You’ll Walk Away With:

✅ A proven framework for breaking through the plateau holding most $500K–$5M businesses back

✅ Honest conversation with people who’ve been in the game as long as you have

✅ The 3 biggest reasons businesses get stuck at this stage, and how to finally move forward with clarity and confidence

✅ No pitch, just real value

Who Should Attend:

This is not for beginners or hobbyists.

This room is built for:

  • Business owners with 5+ years in
  • $500K–$5M in annual revenue
  • A small team, but still too much on your plate
  • A desire for clarity, strategy, and connection—not another course
  • People who are ready for real traction—not just inspiration
