Section 1: Overview of our JV Directory
Why did we create the JVDirectory.com?
We realized that one of the most difficult challenges for anybody with a Self Improvement business continues to be Finding and Connecting with the right people, right companies, right tools and right programs.
With that Major Challenge in mind…
We have created a One Stop Shop where business owners can Quickly Find and Connect with every person, company or resource that they need to create and grow their Self Improvement business!
We want to take a minute and describe how we see the Self Improvement Industry.

|
For us, the Self Improvement Industry includes any companies focused on helping people improve their lives. It could be that you focus on helping people improve their health, their finances, their relations, their fitness or mental health. You could be helping people develop business skills or generate income, or greater success in life. We see the industry including all of you plus all of the companies that provide tools and services to help support your business. |
What do you need to succeed in the
Self Improvement Industry?
When we created the Self Improvement directory, we kept asking a simple question. What do people need to create and grow their business?
In order to answer that, we want to take a minute and give you our simplified view of what we see people needing to succeed in the Self Improvement Industry. It’s simple, but it’s not easy. You need 3 things:
⦁ A product or service that people want or need and a way to deliver it.
⦁ A marketing or sales system in place to sell your product or service.
⦁ An Audience of potential clients to buy your product or service.
Each of these 3 steps needs outside support or help. The JV directory is designed to help you find Joint Venture Partners to do this.
Why Joint Ventures?
For our directory, we have redefined Joint Venture very broadly as any time that two companies or two people work together to help create, manage or build their businesses.
The JV Directory is designed to allow to you quickly find and connect with Joint Venture Partners. Let’s take a look at who you need to work with to succeed.
