Accelerators help you finish what you start
Accelerators are structured, facilitator-led programs where a small group of members complete a course together on a set schedule (Exclusive to Accelerate and Thrive tier members).
Why join a course accelerator?
Let’s be honest: completing a course alone is tough — distractions win, motivation fades. Accelerators bring people together to stay on track and accountable, so you can keep moving forward. The result? Participants are more than twice as likely to finish as those who go it alone. Structure + support = progress!
As an Accelerate or Thrive member of the SPI Community, you have the opportunity to sign up for accelerators about once a month. Each one focuses on a different course from our library.
When you sign up, you’ll get access to:
A set schedule for completion
A deadline can make all the difference — accelerators give you a clear schedule so you stay on track, know what to complete each week, and cross the finish line.
Progress you can manage
Accelerators break the course into bite-sized assignments so you can fit learning into a busy schedule and enjoy quick wins along the way.
Meaningful connections
You’ll work through your course alongside like-minded entrepreneurs who offer support, encouragement, and accountability. Maybe you’ll even make a lifelong friend or business partner — it’s happened before!
Weekly live check-ins
This is a chance to connect with your facilitator, get feedback, ask questions, and learn from guest experts, including Pat Flynn! Can’t make it live? No problem: every call is recorded for replay.
