Change Your Story
What if your life looked different by 2028? Real different.
What if you could increase your income by as much as 91%? What if you finally had the support, accountability and community to help you move toward the future you’ve been trying to build? Applications are now open through June 30th.
Life is expensive right now.
Rent keeps going up. Groceries keep going up. Gas is just disrespectful. But for many here in Cobb County, their paycheck stays the same. That math’s not mathin’. It’s why so many hardworking people like you end up taking on second jobs, side hustles and extra shifts just to stay afloat. And even when you’re doing everything you can, it can still feel impossible to truly get ahead. At some point, surviving starts taking all your energy.
And when that happens, these things start feeling like they’re slipping away:
Your goals
Your future
Career growth
Going back to school
Building stability
Creating the life you really want
That’s where Circles Cobb comes in.
Circles Cobb is not a quick workshop.
Most people already know they should budget better. That’s not the problem. The problem is trying to change your life alone.
Circles Cobb is a long-term program designed to help you build a better future now through: Goal-setting, Accountability, Community support, Career growth, Financial growth, Encouragement, Real relationships and Access to resources and opportunities.
This is not a “one-night class.” It’s a real commitment to changing your life with people who want to see you succeed.
Who is this for?
Circles Cobb is for hardworking people who are ready for more. You might be: a single parent trying to create more stability, a CNA working long hours and still struggling financially, a front desk worker trying to move up professionally, a server or bartender juggling multiple jobs, a warehouse employee trying to increase your income, a struggling entrepreneur trying to grow your business, a new realtor trying to create consistency, someone trying to go back to school while working, someone tired of living paycheck to paycheck. You do not have to have everything figured out. You just have to be willing to grow, commit and keep showing up for yourself.
What makes Circles Cobb different?
At Circles Cobb, you don’t do this alone. You’re surrounded by people who encourage you, hold you accountable, connect you to resources, push you toward your goals, celebrate your wins, help you stay focused when life gets hard. You’re already working hard. Circles Cobb helps make sure your hard work leads somewhere.
This program is selective.
We intentionally keep each group limited because we invest deeply into every participant who joins the program. This is not for everyone. It requires consistency, commitment and a willingness to grow. But for people who are ready, the impact can be life-changing. In our first graduating class, participants increased their income by an average of 91% over the course of the program.
Ready to take the next step?
If you’re ready to stop surviving and start building toward something better, we invite you to apply before June 30.
Meet Myeichia — entrepreneur, mother of five, graduated participant (a.k.a. Circle Leader) and a highly powerful example of resilience in action. When Myeichia joined Circles Cobb, she was rebuilding after COVID while running a small janitorial business with just four residential clients. Like so many working families, she was doing everything she could to create stability for her children while navigating challenge after challenge. Through Circles, she found what she calls “familyship” — a community of people who encouraged her, supported her, and helped connect her to new opportunities.
One of her SMART goals during the program was to secure a commercial client. Today, her business is now nearly 85% commercial work, including a 40,000-square-foot medical building contract. Her income has grown by nearly 600%. But beyond the contracts and business growth, perhaps the greatest impact has been at home — where her children have watched their mother persevere, advocate for herself, and keep moving forward no matter what.
