The Common Mistakes

I've watched entrepreneurs go it alone, and the result is often less-than-desirable and far more costly: delayed launches, substandard sites, customer dissatisfaction, lost sales, time away from the main business, and the inevitable burn-out from putting the heart in the right place but trying to do too much.

You need help building a course but hiring a consultant is out of the question.

You don't have spare time to spend "figuring it out" and it's super risky considering all of the tech, tasks, and competition.

Breathe with me. There is good news! I'm stepping in and hitting the "easy" button for you. I've launched a successful training business, I'm a certified Thinkific Expert, coach, mentor, optimist, realist, and fellow entrepreneur. I'm going to guide you through this.
