The values that underlie
everything we do at SPI
Mission
A mission is a company’s north star. It establishes a reason for being — a “why” we exist. All of our work is guided by this simple, empowering, unifying statement.
Our Mission: To guide new entrepreneurs from idea to income through education, feedback, and accountability.
Vision
A vision is a direction, not a current-state reality; it’s something we work to achieve. Our vision is informed by the mission and describes that mission in precise, actionable terms.
Our Vision: We believe entrepreneurship is the best path to personal fulfillment, financial independence, and controlling your future.

Community is at the heart of everything we do
Hey, hi, hello! We’re Pat and Matt, the two entrepreneurs behind SPI. To us, community is more than a buzzword. It’s our purpose and our business model.
Pat created SPI back in 2009 — this was at the beginning of what we now call the “creator economy.” SPI quickly became one of the best places to learn the ropes of being an online entrepreneur. Since then, SPI has grown to an audience of over 130,000.
Matt joined forces with Pat at the end of 2018. He led the charge to create SPI Pro — our first community, which launched in 2020. To date, we’re proud to serve and support over 1,200 entrepreneurs committed to finding success on their terms.
We’ve lived the journey you’re on now. It’s thrilling. It’s hard. It’s worth it. Keep going. And if you like, let us (with our team and community of peers and experts) help you. We’re in this together.
