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 teach and is very engaging and helping. I love all of the worksheets and accountability you get from the group. Highly, highly, highly recommend!”

Academy Details
Here are the details on what you can expect to learn from the Launch Your Business Academy.
Branding & Loyalty
For an entire month we will talk about branding and loyalty. You will have the opportunity to create (or refine) your brand and your branding message. We will write company values, learn about how your customers’ brains work, and discover how your brand can break through the mental filters and be remembered.
When your audience can remember and relate to you, they are willing to spend more money with you.
Marketing
Month two is all about 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. We will create a plan for reaching out to your audience and how to track what works and what doesn’t.
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. You will have guidance in setting up your social pages correctly, understanding SEO (how Google finds you), creating business listings, and ensuring that your company can be found online.
A company that is easily found online is a company that has a higher potential for clients. How can people buy your goods and services if they cannot find you? 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: how to track, the differences between personal and business finance, and what in the world you need to learn from your business reports. We will also analyze your cash flow cycle, as well as teach you how to price your products/services.
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. In this unit we will teach you how to create systems, when to hire, and how to know where you should hire. Systems also allow you to create automations so your business can keep running without you.
When you set up effective and efficient systems you create a more sustainable and profitably business. You also get to work less.
Collaboration
We will end our six month program by learning about collaboration. We will talk about collaborating with your team, your clients, and other businesses. When done correctly collaboration can be one of the most profitable ventures in your business. You will learn about setting expectations, creating affiliate offers, and finding the right collaborators.
The right collaborations will expand your business in more ways than you can imagine.
Recorded Classes
This six month program has weekly classes. These classes are 10-20 min each and are pre-recorded so you can learn at a time that works with your schedule.
Live Calls
Each month there will be a live group call about the unit we are working on. You can ask questions, work though roadblocks, and move forward together. Coloring will likely be included.
Expert Coaches
You can upload your work, questions, and offers to our community groups. In these groups you have access to our expert coaches who will be thrilled to give you feedback, tips, and direction. We got you!
Clients Stats
We believe in measurable results
When clients start working with us we do an onboarding survey to give us a benchmark number. We do another survey at three months, and a final survey at six months.
This is what you can expect from our program:
- Increase in General BUsiness Knowledge by 291%.
- Increase in confidence by 252%.
- DECREASE IN OVERWHELM BY 55%.
Our Promise
I am not going to promise this academy will fix all your problems. I am not going to promise that you will hit $100k and never have problems again.
I have been promised those things before – we all have. And the truth is they are not promises, they are wishful thinking.
What I do promise is that you will have the tools, knowledge, and COMMUNITY to get through the tough times in your business. The Launched Your Business Academy prepares you for business. That doesn’t mean we bless you with magic and luck.
We give you the tools to create your own future and get through all the blocks standing in your way.
How to know if you are ready
Launched is here to help women start their new business.
But, there are few things that you need before we can get started.
Have a product/service
Before you enroll in the Launch Your Business Academy you need a product or service near ready to sell.
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.
5 -10 Hours per week
The Launch Your Business Academy requires a least 5 hours of work at week. If you are not able to dedicate time to your new business just yet, that is okay.
You will just want to catch the next program start date instead. We enroll a new cohort every three-five months.
Reliable internet access
This is an online program so you are going to need regular access to reliable internet. If you are in a rural location without internet, coaching calls might be a better fit for you. Also check your local library and schools and see what they have available.
Dedication
Starting a business is hard work! The Launch Your Business Academy gives you all the steps and simplifies the process but it cannot make up for hard work and dedication.
If you are ready for this program, you need to be dedicated to seeing it through.

It is 100% free to apply for the Launch Your Business Academy. We will email you and let you know if you were accepted.
NOTE: We only take twenty-five business owners into this program at a time.
What if I already have a business?
Perfect! This program was created for business owners that are less than three years into business.
what happens after we apply?
We do not take every woman who applies into our program. You have to meet the criteria mentioned above. After you apply you will get a confirmation email and about 30 days before the program is scheduled to start you will receive another email letting you know if you were accepted into the program or not.
If you are not accepted into the program we will let you know why and what you can do to be ready for the next program start date.
If you are accepted into the program you will have seven days to accept or reject your admittance offer.
How do I know if it is the right time to start?
There is will never be “right time”. It is up to you to decide when you are ready to dedicate time and energy to making your business dreams a reality.
Do I get my own private coach?
Hiring your own private coach is an option that you can add to your Launch Your Business Academy.
Our coaches are afforadable and eager to help. You also get a discount on coaching services if you are an academy member.
Is there anything the Launched doesn't help with?
The Launch Your Business Academy does not help with product development. If you think of business as a ship, we help build the ship. The cargo that the ship carries is your product or service. Those products and services vary with every business so this program does not help with product development. You want to have your product or service nailed down pretty well before you start this program.
