The Launch Your Business Academy is a six month, end to end program that guides you through each step of building the foundation for a profitable business.

You don’t have to guess anymore.

We give you each step, in the right order.

Launched Logo

Building your business should

NOT be a guessing game.

We created the blueprint.

Stuck in the

Frantic or Famine Cycle?

The Frantic or Famine cycle is the cycle most business owners find themselves stuck in. You are either broke and making no money, or you are frantically working endless hours.

End the cycle with a

solid business foundation

A solid business foundation is what allows business owners to break free of the frantic or famine cycle. The Launch Your Business Academy gives you all the steps, in the right order, to build that foundation.

Engaging and Helpful

“If you own a business, this course is for you. I’ve been hesitant in the past because I feel like I’ve taken courses that didn’t really teach anything new – not this course!

I learned SO many things. Kara is a fantastic teacher and is very engaging and helpful. I love all of the worksheets and accountability you get from the group. Highly, highly, highly recommend!”

The Launch Your Business Academy is an

end-to-end system.

We do not give you pieces of a business to try and fit together,

we give you whole thing.

How it Works

Phase One:

Get Established

In phase one of the academy we make sure your business is set up properly, you have the correct licenses, and you understand how to have benefits while being self employeed.

Phase Two:

Make Money

The second phase of the academy is all about making money. We will walk through how to be remembered, marketing that makes an impact, and getting found online. Get money coming in!

Phase Three:

Growth

Once you have money coming in, we are going to work on how to make sure you have the correct pricing strategy, can scale with demand, and how to reach a bigger audience.

The Core Courses

Learn a little bit more about our core courses. Each course includes 6-12 classes, a workbook, and bonus tools!

Branding & Loyalty

How to created branding that creates loyalty. You will have the opportunity to create (or refine) your brand and your branding message.

When your audience can remember and relate to you, they are willing to spend more money with you.

Marketing

There will be some art projects in this unit as we dive into creating the perfect world for your ideal customer and how to guide them through their client journey.

This means that you will know which marketing investments are making you money and which ones are draining your bank account.

Online Presence

Online presence is so much more than social media. In unit three we will discover the Findability Score for your new business.

A company that is easily found online is a company that has a higher potential for clients.

Get out there! Be proud!

Finance

Finance is not scary! It can actually be really cool and fun. In unit four we will talk all about business finances.

When you understand and actively review your finances you can make decisions that bring you the most money with the least amount of work.

Systems

Systems in your business are what give you business freedom. Systems allow you to grow your business while maintaining good quality control.

When you set up effective and efficient systems you create a more sustainable and profitable business. You also get to work less.

Collaboration

Collaboration creates massive growth for your business. But it must be done. 

We will talk about collaborating with your team, your clients, and other businesses to increase your revenue.

The right collaborations will expand your business in more ways than you can imagine.

It doesn't have to be perfect, but if you are selling puzzles you will need to be less than three months out of having puzzles in hand.

Willing to Learn

Testimonials

“I cannot say enough good things! There are a lot of business coaches and educators out there, but few are as authentic, caring and approachable as Kara and her team.

The courses are dripped out intentionally slow so you’re forced to really take your time and not rush through building your foundation.

It IS that important and she GETS that. The material is also super digestible and focused. 

Thank you SO MUCH for all the handholding and cheerleading! <3″

Escape your Learning Loop!

The most important part of the Launch Your Business Academy is that it was created to help you get out of
the “Learning Loop”
— endless learning without action. Instead we set you up to make actual progress in your business.

Here are three ways the academy helps business owners take solid steps forward.

Weekly Check-ins

Each week you will have the opportunity to check-in with our business coaches. We can check your work, review your website, and give you weekly direction.

Automated Next Steps

As you finish each lesson 1-3 tasks will be automatically added to your task list with detailed instruction. No more wondering what to do next. 

w

Masterminds

Every other month we have a group mastermind. These are true masterminds where you have 3-4 business owners working on your specific business problem.

Clients Stats

How do I know if it is the right time to start?

There is no "right time" in life. We wait and wait and wait for the "right time". And then we wake up and realize that we are still in the same place we were five years ago -- still waiting for the "right time".

If you are dedicated to seeing your business succeed, THIS is the right time.

What if I don't have a business yet?

It depends. If you are just thinking about maybe, someday starting a business, this might not be the right program for you.

But if you are dedicated to MAKING MONEY in your new business within the next six months, this is for you.

What if I can't afford the academy?

Not only is the academy incredibly well priced for the insane level of support that we offer, we also have scholarships available.

Scholarships are awarded at the beginning of each academy round based on the number of members in that cohort.

To apply for a full or partial scholarship please contact us.

I don't have much time. Can I keep up?

Absolutely!!

A super dedicated person could make it through all the course work in four months. But we created the Launch Your Business Academy to be spread out.

We want you to spend time on each topic and implement. You have plenty of time to take a break, to retake a class, and to take your time.

How is this course different than the rest?

If you have taken courses before and never made progress, the Launch Your Business Academy is for you.

We created the academy with specific and intentional steps to help business owners take real action -- not just learn a concept.

WE DO THIS IN FOUR WAYS: 

  1. EASY NEXT STEPS
    Every course gives you 1-3 tasks to implement the concept into your business immediately. These tasks are auto-added to your to do list so you can't forget them.
  2. ACCOUNTABILITY CHECK-INS
    We check in with you EVERY WEEK. These are not automatic check-ins. We manually and 1:1 send you a message every week to check in, hold you accountable, and keep you moving forward.
  3. LIVE CALLS 
    We have live calls every month. These help you connect with other business owners, figure out where you are stuck, and get a dose of motivation.

We created this program to help you move forward and take real action in your business -- not learn and forget.

What date/times do I need to be available?

Our group coaching calls are on the third Thursday of every month. 

You (currently) have two time options: 9am (MST) or 6pm (MST). You get to choose the time that is best for you. These are small group calls, with less than 25 ppl. This means you actually get your questions answered. 

Our Expert Calls are on the fourth Thursday of every month at 9am (MST). If you cannot make the call, it is okay. We record everything and add it to your academy. 

What happens if I don't finish in six months?

No worries! We have a $97 monthly academy extension plan. Joining this program also gets you some great bonuses. If you need a few extra months, there is no worry at all. 

You got this.

 

 You can build a successful business.

We just make it a whole lot easier.

The feedback and ideas have a lot of variety when it comes to thinking about how your audience may relate to you and your offerings. Wish I would have found [Launched] earlier than I did."
