If you’re a business owner in Birmingham, Alabama; whether you’re just starting or looking to scale, you’re not alone in the hustle. But what if I told you there’s a hidden gem in our city offering free, game-changing resources to help you grow?
And even better, there’s now a partnership in place that’s about to make those resources more accessible, more practical, and more powerful than ever before.
I’m proud to officially announce my partnership with Bob Dickerson, CEO of the Birmingham Business Resource Center (BBRC)— a name that carries weight, legacy, and impact across the Birmingham entrepreneurial landscape.
This collaboration is more than just an alliance. It’s a movement to create more sustainable, successful, and supported businesses right here in our city.
Let’s break down what this means for you—and how to take advantage of every free tool and opportunity available through the BBRC.
Who Is the BBRC, and Why Should You Care?
The Birmingham Business Resource Center has been helping minority-owned, women-owned, and small businesses grow for nearly three decades. Under the leadership of Bob Dickerson, the BBRC has helped thousands of entrepreneurs:
- Access capital
- Navigate government contracts
- Receive expert business coaching
- Connect with mentors, bankers, and decision-makers
- Build sustainable business strategies
And the best part? All of these services are available at no cost to business owners.
If you’re in Birmingham and you’re trying to launch, grow, or stabilize your business—you need the BBRC in your corner.
What This New Partnership Means for You
As someone who’s built brands, grown agencies, and trained thousands of entrepreneurs across the country (and especially here in Alabama), I’ve always believed that strategy and access should go hand-in-hand.
That’s why this partnership between myself and the BBRC is so important.
Here’s what we’re bringing to the table:
- Monthly Business Workshops Across the City
From Irondale to Bessemer, we’ll be hosting practical, strategy-focused events to help local business owners learn the exact systems top companies use to scale. These aren’t motivational talks, these are tactical trainings with real, measurable outcomes.
- Access to Free Digital Marketing and Automation Support
As part of my Profitable Pro Accelerator framework, we’re showing business owners how to automate their marketing, clarify their message, and consistently attract premium clients, without tech overwhelm.
- Hands-On Help Navigating Capital and Contracts
Through the BBRC, you can get connected to local banks, city and state contracting opportunities, and funding partners. We’ll help make sure your business is in position to qualify, and win.
- Personalized One-on-One Business Consultations
Whether you’re struggling to get your business off the ground or you’re trying to hit your next revenue milestone, you don’t have to guess your way through it. Schedule a free consultation with the BBRC and get real-time, strategic feedback from experienced business leaders.
