“Better done than perfect.” Built around action, not theory.

The SBU philosophy

Real-world application, not theory

In school you learn theoretical knowledge. With mentors and coaches you learn application. SBU is built on the lessons that actually move a small business forward.

Mindset is the most important concept.

That's why it's Module 1. Eliminate negative self talk, guard your inner circle, and train your brain to look for opportunities to win.

Success leaves clues.

Every successful person has a coach. Find mentors who have done what you want to do, and learn from their wins and their mistakes.

Systems and procedures are the key.

A business that depends entirely on you can't grow, scale, or sell. Build systems so the business runs without you being there.

Better done than perfect.

Don't wait for the perfect office or the perfect video. Get started, then get better.

Your only competition is yourself.

Cooperation beats competition. Some of your best referral partners may be in the same line of work as you.

It's one thing to KNOW. It's another to DO.

Knowledge only matters when you act on it. That's why SBU is built around action steps and accountability.

Who it's for

For owners who don't want to settle for average

If you have the desire to own your own business, you probably don't want an average life either. SBU is written for you.

New small business owners

You just opened, or you're about to. SBU walks you through what most people learn the hard way: getting found, getting reviews, hiring, and managing money.

Aspiring entrepreneurs

Do your research before you jump in. Learn how to test your idea, talk to people who've done it, and figure out what it really takes to start.

Established owners ready for more

Raise your prices, build systems, and start replacing yourself so the business can grow, run without you, or someday sell.

Owners who want their life back

A lot of small business owners work themselves to death. Learn to schedule time off, set clear hours, and trade money for time.

Dr. Daniel Murray
About the founder

Hi, I'm Dr. Daniel Murray.

I'm a doctor of chiropractic who owns and runs a clinic, a licensed real estate agent and real estate investor with a property management company, and a DJ who plays live events. Running multiple businesses means wearing a lot of hats, and most of what I needed to know wasn't taught in school.

Licensed real estate agent with Legendary Realty (Broker: Lucy Huereca)

“Every successful person I know has a coach, myself included.”

I learned from mentors, coaches, seminars, books, and plenty of mistakes. Small Business University puts those systems and procedures in one place, so you can avoid the mistakes I made and shorten your learning curve.
