Building a business shouldn’t feel like a grind.

It should feel like growth - rooted in connection, clarity, and community.

Because the truth is: the best businesses aren’t built alone.

It Takes A Village.

We’re a community-first space for small business owners, and solopreneurs who want practical support with getting seen and getting chosen, without the pushy sales tactics or false promises.

Inside the Village, you'll find:

Jordan Japal

Hi, I’m Jordan - founder of Fourth Path & The Derma Lab, sax-playing sales consultant, and creative at heart. For nearly a decade, I’ve been in the marketing world, helping businesses grow their sales with honest, solution focused strategies that actually work. I joined forces with Lianne to create It Takes A Village because I know how lonely it can feel trying to figure out marketing and sales on your own - especially when you’re more comfortable creating than closing. Through Fourth Path, I’ve worked one-on-one with agencies to build confident, consultative sales processes. Now, I’m bringing that same energy into this community: practical advice, no fluff, and a genuine belief that business growth gets a whole lot easier when we do it together.

Lianne Jones

I’m Lianne – founder of Quartz Digital & Spirit of Sapphire, SEO strategist, and digital marketer with 15 years of digital experience under my belt. I started my agency after a well-timed nudge from the universe (read: redundancy), and I haven’t looked back since. From SEO to content to Facebook ads, I help businesses navigate the digital world with clarity, confidence, and results they can actually understand. I’ve joined forces with Jordan to co-create It Takes A Village because I believe marketing and sales should feel empowering not overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt burned by bad advice or confused by jargon, you’re in the right place. This is a community for strategy, skill-building, and support that grows with you.
