Free 6 Month Membership

Covid19 Small Business Help Package

Trade Online and Benefit from Shop Local Support

This membership is an opportunity for you to take action to connect. Connect with people locally who want to support you with online sales.  Connect with others in small business who are navigating a completely new environment.

Connect and support each other, because we are in this together.

The Arena’s mission is to support small business owners to connect and support each other.  Never has there been a time when this is more important.  As well as supporting each other, we all live in communities that want to help us survive the sudden stop in consumer spending. People want to purchase from local businesses to help them re-open on the other side of ‘social distancing’ periods.

Our first priority is to help every small business to create an online store for free, and make it easy for people in their local community to find them, and support them.

With our free membership you can create a store, get listed in a business directory by region/location, within your store, categorise the products and services you can deliver even during your local ‘social distancing’ and ‘lockdown’ conditions.

All you need to get started is a Paypal Account.

This is exactly what you can expect from the Free 6-month membership:

• Sign-up and create a Profile Username for yourself personally that is not linked to your business name (for total confidentiality to discuss all the challenges of business without reflecting on your brand).

• Automatically receive a Business Directory Listing, where people world-wide can find your store by location, and product category.  The store will be public-facing, so anyone will find it, including people in your local area who are searching for small businesses locally to support.  People will be able to find you when they search for products that are in the ‘contactless delivery’ category for their local businesses.

• Come onto the Forums and share knowledge and information to help others, as well as benefit from this yourself.  No one understands what you are going through right now better than other small business owners.  Now is a time to support each other.

You only pay fees when you make a sale.  Perfect for cashflow.

What you receive when you become a Paying Member

B2B Barter and More

If you upgrade your membership from free to $37 AU per month you will receive TWO amazing things in addition:

1. Engage in Business to Business Barter with other members
   
   We allocate ‘Community Credits’ to you automatically when you participate in the community.  You can then use these credits as a currency to barter on the stores with other business owners.  Continue to trade with others in a cashflow crisis by using a completely different form of currency inside of the community.   We can help each other to shift our inventory and still receive goods and services throughout this period, starting right now!
   
   During the Covid19 crisis we are also offering to credit all new paying members $500 AU worth of credits when they do two key things...click here to learn more

2. Discover your Entrepreneur Profile
   
   When the dust settles and you are working online at home, if you would like to make good use of spare time with some professional development, we offer you the world’s best profiling tool (like a personality report, but better).  You take a survey and receive results for 48 different thinking and attitudinal patterns, then you can work your way through our online learning to understand exactly how each one relates to success in a small business.  Interact with us on monthly live calls to understand your results, and dicuss with other members on the Forums.  Come back from the isolation period knowing exactly what your strengths are in small business, and the ways of thinking that are not serving you.
   
   When you are ready to take the journey, you just start by taking the survey!

The Mastermind Membership

Help each other get through the Covid19 Crisis Together

Connect online with other Small Business Owners to give and receive support through this time

This is the ultimate form of collaboration and it is both completely online and facilitated during the Covid19 Crisis period.

During this time the Mastermind Groups will only be available for established businesses who are creatively problem solving how to come through this crisis and still be standing at the other end.  The Masterminds are NOT intended as ‘start-up’ programs.

During the Covid19 period the Masterminds will meet fortnightly for 2 hours and will be facilitated by a qualified Coach with business experience.  The Facilitator will NOT be offering advice, but facilitating group members to support each other through creative problem solving with knowledge, advice, introductions, referrals and more.

The Mastermind Groups are held online using software that makes it easy, you will not need to have any additional subscriptions to attend and all communication between meetings will be in one place that is easy to find.

You will be matched into a small group of no more than 6 people.  We will work to match you with others who are working in similar conditions:

• Region/location
• Business size
• NOT in competition (different industry)
• Service based vs Product based

Mastermind Group Members receive all the other benefits of Arena Membership (online shop and forum access, the ability to earn credits and barter, and their Entrepreneur Profile).

This is $200 AUD per month, commencing immediately. Your subscription is fixed for 3 months only.  At the end of 3 months you will be able to review whether to continue or leave. We understand that conditions are changing rapidly and it is difficult to commit, however a Mastermind group does require a minimum commitment to deliver value.
