Our Story

History of The Biz Hive and Thrive360 Group

After years of business coaching, training, and process implementation in small companies, Founder and CEO Janice Jokkel saw a common theme.   Each client had unfinished tasks and wore multiple hats.  The tasks they seldom handled were answering their phones while out of the office, responding to email leads, managing marketing, and handling human resources tasks.  Each owner was so busy working "IN" their business instead of "ON" their business and stayed stuck not getting out of the weeds.   Janice took a step further in helping her clients complete these daunting tasks by cost-sharing the hours of her office assistant.

This success sparked an idea!

On March 18, 2021, the office complex she rented was sold, leaving her without office space. This helped move her idea into reality!  

On April 21, 2021, Janice ribbon-cut her first office in Medina, Ohio! The Biz Hive is a boutique-style business center that offers coworking, private offices, and meeting room rentals; a virtual mailbox service that provides a "real address" for home-based businesses; and a talented team that provides office support for small businesses.  

On February 12 2026, Janice's Business Coaching, rebranded as Thrive360 Group, was re-launched as a sister company to The Biz Hive. 

At the core of everything we do is a simple belief: business owners shouldn’t have to choose between growth and sanity. They deserve companies that run smoothly, scale intentionally, and support the life they want to live.

That mission is powered by two complementary companies working together — 

Thrive360 Group and The Biz Hive.

The Biz Hive is a full-service business support company that provides the hands-on execution required to keep organizations running efficiently day-to-day. We act as an extension of your team, delivering practical support that frees owners and leaders to focus on growth.

Our services include:

• Administrative and operational support
• Marketing and brand execution
• HR and people support services
• Ongoing business infrastructure support

The Biz Hive is where strategy meets action. We are the doers — the team that helps implement plans, maintain momentum, and turn ideas into measurable results.

Thrive360 Group is the strategic engine behind our ecosystem. We partner with business owners and leadership teams as a Fractional COO firm, helping them design stronger organizations, develop better leaders, and install systems that drive sustainable growth.

Through our proprietary frameworks — including the Thrive Forward™ Framework and LeadSmart™ Leadership Model — we bring clarity to strategy, structure to operations, and accountability to execution.

Our work focuses on:

• Executive partnership and Fractional COO leadership
• Leadership development and team alignment
• Installing scalable operating systems
• Training programs and educational resources
• Books, courses, and intellectual property that support long-term growth

Thrive360 doesn’t just offer advice. We guide transformation from the inside out, helping leaders build businesses that are resilient, profitable, and built to last.

Thrive360 designs the blueprint, and The Biz Hive brings it to life.

Thrive360 Group and The Biz Hive are intentionally designed to complement one another.

• Thrive360 provides executive leadership, strategy, and framework installation.
• The Biz Hive delivers the operational execution that sustains those strategies.

Clients can engage with either company independently or combine both for a fully integrated growth partnership. Together, we create a seamless bridge between vision and implementation — ensuring that great ideas don’t stall, and strong strategies translate into real progress.

Across both companies, our commitment is the same:

• Build stronger leaders
• Create scalable systems
• Deliver real execution
• Help businesses move from surviving to thriving

We exist to simplify growth, strengthen teams, and give business owners the structure and support they need to work less, lead smarter, and move forward with confidence.

Two companies. 

One ecosystem.
