Our Story
In 2014, Miles Turner found himself at a crossroads. After leaving a promising startup job in Austin, Texas—one that ultimately folded overnight—he returned to his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, with no income and a head full of lessons learned the hard way. With nothing but a laptop full of spreadsheets and an undying passion for helping others, Miles began helping local businesses in his community navigate the complexities of digital marketing and business setup.
That insight led to the birth of Start Biz Journal. Miles had been helping friends, family, and local businesses for years, but he realized there was an even bigger need for real-world, hands-on advice for aspiring business owners who didn’t have access to fancy degrees, venture capital, or a Silicon Valley network.
After nearly a decade of consulting, side hustling, and getting his hands dirty with everything from eCommerce platforms like Shopify to business accounting tools like QuickBooks, Miles created Start Biz Journal as a way to share the lessons he had learned the hard way. The goal was to build a resource he wished he had when he started—a place where new entrepreneurs could get straightforward, no-nonsense business advice.
Today, Start Biz Journal continues to empower everyday people by providing the knowledge and resources they need to build the businesses of their dreams. From in-depth guides to essential business tools, we help you cut through the noise and focus on what matters most: practical advice that works.
