A gamechanger for any changemaker

Despite what many people think, most entrepreneurs don’t start a business because they want to retire on a desert island.

They might be feeling trapped and want to chart their own path or feel more alive.

They are a human being with unmet needs.

And those needs don’t necessarily go away because you make lots of money.

“I have a need for impact, autonomy and creativity.”

Something is not right and you want to address it.

This doesn’t tie you to one idea, it frees you up to build the business you need.

This is the inside-out approach.
Where you lead with needs, not your idea.
Where the excite strategy replaces the exit strategy.

“This program is critical for new and experienced entrepreneurs! Where else can you be surrounded by your peers and encouraged to grow both personally and professionally?! I’ve loved being part of both the big group and my small cohort! So much so, we’re continuing on together past graduation!”
