You’ve had an idea for a while that you want to turn into a business. You’ve maybe even started to sell your products and services and you want to take it from side hustle to full time. You’re ready to take that passion and your skills and make a consistent income from it…but you’re just not sure how.
The questions seem endless and sorting through all the information and opinions out there can make you feel like you’ll never get anywhere.
But the truth is building a business doesn’t have to be overwhelming to get to the rewarding and fun part. With direction, guidance, and the right kind of support, you will be able to cut through the confusion and get the clarity and confidence you need to launch a business you love.
Introducing the Be Your Own Boss Program…
An event series that will help you get inspired, refine your idea or passion, and turn it into a business.
Walk away with a solid business idea and clear next steps to get it off the ground. You’ll learn from entrepreneurs who have been there and experts who have used their skills to help businesses thrive.
Who is BOSS for? If you have thought any of the following….
“I am thinking about starting a business but I am unsure…”
“I have so many ideas I don’t know where to start”
“I know exactly what I want to do, I need help taking the next steps”
“I want to do something I feel passionate about and that supports my community”
“I want to be my own boss”
…Then the BOSS Program is for you.
What’s inside the BOSS Program…
