The Starter Kit

I've been running a virtual business for the last eight years. I'm not going to say it's easy, but I really do think anyone can do it. And it's wildly rewarding to own your time. So if that's what you're looking to figure out, you're in the right place!

I’m so pumped about this series of courses, I want to make sure I’m providing everything I possibly can to set you up for success. Think of me as your personal business nanny. I’m your helping hand to get everything done. I know you’re capable of making this business a reality, so just holler when you get a little stuck or need a boost of some sort.
