Once Barney retired from his career in the music industry, he realized that he wasn’t yet ready to step out of the business world. Instead of working on his golf game with his retired peers, he began consulting with small businesses. After a while, he noticed that across industries and sizes, many small businesses were facing similar challenges. Over the next several years, he explored those challenges and systemized his tried-and-true solutions to them so that he could more easily give them to his clients. After spending some time compiling all of this information into a teachable format, The Business Tune-Up was born. For the next 5 years, the class was taught exclusively in-person to small groups of business owners. However, their success was so great and the demand for this kind of business support was so high, that Barney decided it was time to put his material online so that it could be accessible to more people. With the help of two tech-savvy Millennials, The Business Tune-Up was carefully converted into an online experience that small business owners could access at their own pace and on their own timeline, with the heart of the content and the value of Barney’s 50 years of experience remaining intact.
