COME IN WITH AN IDEA, WALK OUT WITH A BUSINESS…

You’ve been working hard on starting your service-based business - but the freebies, Google searches and generic advice just hasn’t been cutting it.

I see you - truly trying to get your business off the ground for months or even years now!

You know what you want to do (even vaguely), but you can't find the words to concisely explain it. Or have it resonate with your right people. Or know how to best deliver or price it.

You signed up for Squarespace (or Wix or Showit), but don’t know what to do with all those templates. And design options. And blank pages where copy should go.

The certification program you graduated from had a “business building” module, but it left you with was a bunch of scattered notes and lots of “what do I do next?” questions.

You’ve collected lots of marketing tools, but it’s led you to think that in order to get clients, you’ll have to do things you just don’t want to do. Like be on Facebook. Or disclose personal details about your life. Or create false urgency.

Or maybe you’ve actually launched a business before - but it fell flat, and you’ve been holding yourself back in case history repeats itself.

So, even though you’re committed to your entrepreneurial future, -you're not making any real progress (even though you’re putting the time in!).

But you need to know…

There's an entrepreneur inside of you, ready for the freedom, meaning, and impact that being a business owner provides. One that allows you to:

  • create your own schedule

  • feel valued day-to-day

  • choose who you get to work with - and what you work on

  • have financial independence

  • be of service to others regularly

  • feel aligned with your values, goals, and priorities

  • show up as your true self

  • build generational wealth

  • do work that feels engaging

  • be your own damn boss!

WHEN YOU’RE NO LONGER WONDERING…

…“Do I need a niche? And how do I figure it out?”

…“What’s the right first step? And then what do I do next?”

…“Where should I build my website?”

…“What do I do to create a business that’s aligned with my values, ethics and priorities?”

…“How do I market myself without being sleazy?”

…“Do I need to be on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and/or YouTube?”

…“What am I offering and how do I price it in a way that serves both myself and my ideal client?

…“What do I say when someone asks about my business? How do I talk about it?”

…“Could I actually make real money from this? ”

YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT…

…the overwhelm, procrastination and perfectionism you’ve been experiencing doesn’t keep you in pre-launch mode forever.

…you get clarity on that sweet spot between the business you want to run and what your ideal clients are looking for.

…your business doesn’t require you to compromise your values, priorities and ethics to be successful.

…you have a plan to bring in your first clients that is rooted in relationship-based marketing instead of sleazy, spammy techniques.

…you know exactly where to start - and how to keep making progress, step by step - so that you can open your business doors with pride and confidence.

…you are part of a community of likeminded creatives who are supportive, kind, smart and resourceful - and can become your first networking group of potential clients, referrers, collaborators and friends.

AND WHAT WILL GET YOU THERE?

A high-touch, proven group program that gets you to Launch Day - and beyond!

  • “If you ask me to pick a highlight, I’d respond with ‘Literally everything’"

    90 Day Business Launch covered every base - from business idea, concept, pricing, website to marketing. I felt fully prepped when we wrapped. Michelle kept it light and fun while doing the "serious" work of building our life dreams! She was super knowledgeable and smart, full of resources, and was very clear when explaining concepts. I LOVED doing this in community and felt 100% safe on the calls. vp, the Business Coach for our private BIPOC calls, was amazing. I really loved that we had our own space to connect and work through things. 90 Day Business Launch was beyond helpful and valuable for my confidence and my growth as an entrepreneur.

    -Ariane Hunter, My Mentors Circle

  • “I grossed $60k my first full year in business”

    90 Day Business Launch was the best investment I could have ever done. It was the beginning of taking charge of my career and my life on my terms, and I'm so glad I had Michelle by my side; from the idea development, to getting the work done, to my regular freak outs, to finally launching the business. She kindly guided me along the way, and I seriously couldn't have gone through it and launched without her. Michelle is the kind of person that sees through it all and will help you wholeheartedly. I could not recommend her more!

    -Verô Souza, verô

  • “I’m a full-time business owner now”

    90 Day Business Launch gave me my own personal roadmap to get my business started, and to check in on when I felt lost or confused. Since I launched in early 2019, I’ve run classes, worked with 1:1 clients, wrote an ebook, went from charging $27 for a professional bio to $400, and my new coaching rate is $450 an hour. I feel confident every time I need to set up a new product or launch a new round of coaching sessions. I know what I have to do to keep my business healthy, active, and on message. It would have taken years to get where I am now without this program.

    -Suzie McLellan Soloviev, The Narrative Solution

  • “I wrote 8 proposals and have gotten 5 of those jobs!”

    Sure, I started the LLC process and had a name and logo for my Architecture business - but I felt completely lost with lots of questions. Michelle had all the answers, and my 90 Day Business Launch plan along with her guidance gave me the courage and confidence to present myself in the best light to my future clients. I wrote my first major proposal only a month into the program, which Michelle kindly reviewed for me and gave me so much great advice! Having support and encouragement - not feeling alone in this endeavor - was huge. There is so much to know, and you absolutely don't have to do it all yourself! I wish I didn’t put pressure on myself, and just joined sooner!

    -Soledad Mendez, Bellwether Architects PLCC

  • "4 years later, I'm making multiple six-figures"

    I was stuck in a perfectionist mindset. I wanted to do everything in the right order, and it had prevented me from taking action. Also, I was making 6-figures in my 9-5 so there was doubt about how I was going to create that as quickly as possible. This program gave me the confidence that I could create a business that would more than replace my 9-5 income. It offered a safe space to openly discuss getting started. I felt I could be vulnerable and honest and receive the support and encouragement to keep going. 90 Day Business Launch was the catalyst for my business., and now I’m building the strategy for a seven-figure business.

    -Aimee LaLiberte, The Finance Edit

  • “Michelle managed to make me feel like I got 1-on-1 coaching ”

    I’d been part of group programs before that promised a lot but never provided the individualized feedback I hoped for. 90 Day Business Launch is different. I was no longer relying on peer feedback or surface-level feedback on group calls. All the feedback for ME that I was missing in previous programs, I found here. Not only was this experience worth every dollar, it is also worth the time that I put into it. I was able to gain more insight into where I wanted to head in my business, and what I no longer wanted to do. I gained the confidence to create my website myself, and this is truly the first time in the life of my business where I feel like my website speaks to my heart. Michelle is a joy and a miracle.

    -Brittany Tam, The Financially Empowered Entrepreneur

  • “My business was a dream for 5 years, and in just 90 days it came to life.”

    I knew that I had a business inside of me that I was ready to share with the world, but I needed a roadmap and a sense of community. Now, I know that my business is built to last because I built it in a sustainable way that’s authentic to me. I am so proud of my website as a reflection of both my business and myself that I would sky-write the URL if I could. My multi-phase marketing plan is already in place for the next 6 months, and it’s honestly a joy. Within 1 week of launching, I received my first speaking invitation! My level of confidence as a new business-owner wouldn’t have been possible without this program. It is truly worth every penny.

    -Emily Pantel, Self Over Should

  • “Got me to launch and provided tools for the initial growth of my business”

    All the encouragement throughout the program towards progress over perfection, and the deadline of ending the program with the cohort, helped me get to Launch Day on time. Also, the intentionality in having a separate space and time to discuss BIPOC issues with vp wright really drew those thoughts out of me and others, allowing us to deal with them instead of brushing that stuff under the rug. The highlight of the program was the sixth sense Michelle has about the internal thoughts and feelings of creative entrepreneurs, and her ability to address the blocks to launching. She is amazingly responsive, really keyed into her niche, and helped us get on track when we strayed from the plan. That and the positive energy made all the difference for me.

    -Sunita Puleo, Fuse Integrative Arts

  • “A week after launching, I have a signed client, a soon-to-sign client, a podcast appearance and my first connection call scheduled”

    I was clear on my biz idea, had done the training and had the vision but I desperately needed a structure and some kick-ass tools. With 90 Day Business Launch, I accomplished in 3 months what it would have taken at least a year to put together without the program. The landscape looks so different from what it did 3 months ago! I have a business now, I am a CEO, and it’s exponentially deeper, yummier and shinier than anything I could have dreamt of! I feel confident that I can take things forward, that there is nothing I can't achieve with the right support and that I have given myself the *best* possible start in my biz life.

    -Adrienne Zitt, The Body Joy Academy

  • “No more having a little side hustle, this is the real deal!”

    “Start a business" was a big scary item on my to-do list, and I didn't know where or how to start. 90 Day Business Launch took me through all the steps. Working through the marketing pieces helped me really get clear on what I wanted to say to people and how I wanted to position my business. It gave me a complete website that I have the skills to change at any time I want (because I learned how to in the program). I wouldn't have been able to get all this together on my own, and definitely not in 3 months. I've learned to see myself in a new way - as a business owner, with a REAL grown-up business that can earn me real money.

    -Karen Styles, Flow + Fire

  • "Three months after launching I have taken on 6 new clients."

    People find my value proposition unique and engaging. I have received various compliments on my website. The tools Michelle recommended have helped me present myself in a professional and confident manner, and having my 90 Day Business Launch Plan to refer to was everything I needed to get from day 1 to 90 without having a panic attack. Her positivity and ability to help me build upon MY goals made our time together insightful, enjoyable and inspirational! I am feeling the positive momentum build for the services I'm offering - and I now have the confidence that I could make a full time job with my business.

    -Sara Goldstein Evans, Sara G. Evans Career Consulting

  • “Comfortable, easy and natural every step of the way”

    I wanted accountability, help making decisions, clarity, and focus to make things happen faster without second guessing my decisions, so I signed up for 90 Day Business Launch. I’m so glad because Michelle listened/heard me. She saw me for me. Supported me and my ideas. And she helped me run with it! It was a scary process to start. I am more confident in my coaching and my business!

    -Kathy Hubler, Ladies Against the Grain

  • “It gave my businesses instant direction”

    90 Day Business Launch gave my business instant direction. Now, my website is finally up after years and years of trying to get it off the ground! I feel a security in knowing the work I do is real. I'm more confident working with my current clients, not noodling around with pricing, deadlines, expectations, but just saying, "Hello, this is what I do! Thanks so much." Thank you, Michelle, for your calm, absolutely confident and enthusiastic coaching and communication. It was such a joy to work with you!

    -Yuki Tejima, Cotoba And Things

  • “5 clients before I actually launched”

    I was dragging my feet on getting my business going - getting a website up, working on an offering and getting the word out about what I was doing. 90 Day Business Launch gave me a doable plan for getting my business off the ground. Michelle helped me squash the stories in my head saying I can't launch my own business. And because she broke it all down into doable pieces, I felt much less overwhelmed with the business and all the moving parts. 90 Day Business Launch is a no brainer if you're ready to start your business, since you will have an actionable plan and someone to guide you through each step. Michelle is a business coach with a side of cheerleader, and this program is the fastest way I've seen to get things rolling.

    -Lara Gwyn, Lara Gwyn Wellness

  • “Truly transformational”

    90 Day Business Launch allows you to build your confidence along the way, and as you accomplish your tasks, you're ready for the next challenge. Michelle has been my personal fairy godmother, helping me make a plan (easily and quickly!) and providing the support and guidance I've needed at every step. I actually took action and did the work! The pride I have from getting to this point is priceless. I'm not the person I was a few months ago.

    -Carolyn Glasser, UX Made Simple

  • "I had everything I needed to start taking on clients and making money!"

    It was such a relief to sit down everyday and know exactly what I was supposed to be working on next. I’ve continued to grow my business using the 90-day timeline. It’s such a good way to outline everything you need and want to do, while also allowing you to zoom out and take stock of the future.

    -Courtney Fanning, Big Picture Branding

  • “Extensive and value-packed”

    To go from a fuzzy business idea that I was not confident about AT ALL to having a website I'm proud of, templates/directions of what to do post launch, and clear steps of how to show up in my business while tracking the results is HUGE! Michelle did a great job of leading us through the program, content, and making herself available to answer any and all questions. She's extremely knowledgeable and an expert with many years of experience while also authentic and real. I am so grateful for 90 Day Business Launch!

    -Kiara Santos, Committed + Connected

I’m Michelle Ward, & I’ve been a business coach for 15 years

I've helped hundreds of creatives - just like you! - discover, launch their dream businesses since 2008. 

When I decided to become a career coach for creative people back in 2007, I put the wheels in motion to transition out of my job as an Account Manager with a verbally abusive boss who made me psychosomatic. My breaking point was having to run off a rush hour train to dry heave into a trash can at one of the busiest NYC subway platforms… and feeling fine when I was heading home and knew I didn't have to go into work that day. Talk about a wake-up call!

Soon after, I got a "bridge job" as an Executive Assistant so I could get my financial needs met while devoting more time and energy to getting my coaching certification and building my business. It took me two years and seven months to make it happen, but I was able to give notice in March of 2010 (mid-recession!) and become a coach full-time.

I've never come close to having to put my Plan B into motion, and I now have a consistent six-figure business that makes me feel more authentic, valued, and fulfilled day-to-day than I ever have before!

ALONG THE WAY, I’VE BEEN FEATURED ON:

 
 

How does the magic happen? With the focused & streamlined…

HEAD-TO-WEB PROCESS!

Start with your fuzzy business idea, and walk through this proven process to start your business and bring in your first clients!

  • Clarify & articulate all the pieces that make up the foundation of your business, including:

    ✔️ who you serve, including their challenges and ideal results

    ✔️your offer(s), including the pricing and onboarding process

    ✔️messaging, including your business name, title, and elevator pitch

    ✔️ marketing plan, including social media channel(s) to start with and content ideas

  • This is the easiest way to write your website copy, create your brand and build your Squarespace site! When you have step-by-step lessons and personalized feedback, you’ll not only look and feel professional, but you’ll attract your right clients.

  • Go through the odds & ends checklist and create your announcement so you can open your business doors with pride and be ready for sales and inquiries.

  • You’ve launched! Now what? I’ll take you through the top ways my clients and I are getting clients in uncertain times while feeling authentic, building relationships, and utilizing social media how and if you want.

And sure, I could have said, "Here's the Head-to-Web Process! Good luck!" and sent you on your way, but I know that won't get you where you need to go. So here’s the support that will get you to launch day & bring in your first clients:

  • 120 days of access

    While we aim to get you launched in 90 days, you’ll have an extra month of access to the community, calls, and lessons. That way, you’ll (a) have a buffer juuuuuuuust in case you don’t launch exactly in 90 days, & (b) you’ll have time to work through the post-launch Connecting with Clients phase of the program.

  • Step-by-step lessons

    No need to make your schedule work with my availability. The Head-to-Web lessons are autonomous, so you can log in when it’s convenient for you, work through the lesson, mark it complete and go on to the next. You’ll never need to wonder “what’s next?” when it comes to your business launch again.

  • A private community site *off* Facebook

    Coupling our calls with a private Mighty Network group (yup, no Facebook nonsense here!), you always have a place for your questions, vents, wins, resource shares, feedback requests, accountability needs and ongoing support - and you won't have to wait more than 48 business hours to receive a response from yours truly.⁠

  • Twice-weekly group calls

    While you can go into our private community at any time to ask your questions, our Tuesday Q&A calls are the place for us to dig a bit deeper, get more specific coaching, or have more of a dialogue with the group.

    On Thursdays, we meet for Co-working or Conversation (your choice!). This is where the community is built, the hive mind gets elevated, and you walk away knowing you’re not alone!

  • BIPOC support from Business Coach vp wright

    Because I can’t speak to the identity shifts that occur for my clients of color, BIPOC Launchers have a private subgroup + calls with master Business Coach and DEI Educator vp wright so they can be seen and supported. Many of my BIPOC clients say this has been one of the highlights of the program, with comments like “vp is a VAULT of info and insight”, “so much inspiration” and “my mind is blown right now”.

  • The YAY! Business Planner & post-Launch library

    A digital copy of my Undated YAY! Business Planner - a fillable PDF file that will prompt you to plan, review, and track your business stats regularly - is yours as well as 15 marketing & admin lessons. All to make sure you keep going showing up for your biz - and get clients! Download them to your own computer for forever-access and always have them at your fingertips.

ALSO! ⬇️

ALSO! ⬇️

Make copywriting easy with ChatGPT!

I know you don’t consider yourself a copywriter - and now, you don’t have to be! Using what you’ve already written paired with done-for-you ChatGPT prompts, the first draft of your website copy will be done way quicker & easier than you’d believe! The first Launcher who used it said “It was a complete game changer!”

Get personalized branding feedback from Verô Souza, an accomplished designer!

What would you need to pay to get customized feedback from a brand designer who has a decade of experience and has been featured in Vogue, Forbes, People & more? Nothing - it’s included in 90 Day Business Launch!

Snag a free Squarespace template!

You won’t be staring at a blank slate (or website!) when you’re given this template! Created by yours truly (a Squarespace circle member), it follows our copywriting lessons to the letter. All you need to do is update it with your branding (that you’ve already set), copy and paste your words (that you’ve already written), and customize it as much or as little as you’d like!

Pop the bubbly for a Launch Day celebration!

In 90 days, you'll be live on the web and ready to take a payment from your first client or customer! And with your approval, I'll feature you on my Instagram feed and in my newsletter so you can get thousands of eyes on your business straightaways - just like Quiana here. Get excited!

Forever-free access to my alumni networking group!

The buck doesn't stop when the course ends! You'll immediately be brought into my private alumni networking group space, where you have access to 150+ creative entrepreneurs + our monthly networking calls. It's the easiest place to find resources, potential clients, collaborators and a business bestie.⁠

THE TOTAL PROGRAM VALUE IS $7,600, but you can join us for $525/month for 6 months - or pay $3000 in full.

Want a consultation call first? You can make that happen here.

  • “I was shocked it worked!”

    At the end of 90 Day Business Launch, I had a website ready to be launched, an empty email list ready to be filled and an offer ready to be signed up to. And I got 3 clients that same month! What I hadn't counted on, though, was my new work ethic. I had proven to my inner critic that I could use my limited time and energy to work in very small steps, single parent my kids, work my full time job and still be launch ready. I know that if I hadn't been part of the 90 Day Business Launch I would have given up. I wouldn't have believed it was possible.

    -Lisa Townsend, Change Your Badge

  • “In 3 months I was able to accomplish more than I had in a year ‘preparing’ for my launch”

    I was stuck in a time-consuming job with little direction for how to launch my business successfully. I had attained an LLC and domain name but had not built a website, gone public with my offers, nor received any payment for my services. Because of 90 Day Business Launch, my site and logo are very professional and my public presence is far beyond what I'd accomplish on my own. I needed the community, accountability, and the deadline to achieve my goals. Michelle believed in me. The creatives in the group believed in me. I am now believing in myself more.

    -Jacqualyn Jackson, Investment Inspectors LLC

  • “Two months later, I’ve left my job and secured over $34k in new contracts”

    I was stuck knowing that I was a strong coach, but unsure how to put all the business pieces together. I felt unsure of who I wanted to serve, how to share what I was doing publicly, and lacked confidence in my pricing structure. I gained an intangible amount of confidence in .0 Day Business Launch. So much so that I left my full time job of over 9 years, renegotiated a large coaching contract to better serve me, and got the website monkey off my back. The highlight of the program is the support Michelle gives as you work through the core elements of your plan from who you're going to serve, to how you're going to talk about it, all the way to how you'll get paid for the work you do.

    -Jennifer McDowell, Common Good Coaching

  • "The structure, resources and insights I needed"

    Within the first few weeks I knew this was the right program for me because I was actually making progress. And as an experienced DEI professional, I loved how intentional Michelle was in creating a brave space for her clients and providing clarity on her policy if harm was experienced or witnessed in the space. Her energy, support, empathy, knowledge, and transparency are the makings of an amazing leader and guide. I would have been lost without 90 Day Business Launch. It was just what I needed to turn a long-term dream into a reality!

    -Valencia Gomez, Built to Liberate

  • “A full-time business that I love and dream clients who are paying $10k!”

    I knew I wanted my own business and I knew I NEEDED to get out of my 9-5, but I just didn't know how to make it happen! I had no idea how to start making my business a real thing. 90 Day Business Launch gave me clarity around my business and the knowledge of how to actually get it started. I learned strategies and tactics to start attracting real paying clients. Most importantly from the fabulous support system Michelle provides, I gained the confidence to know that I could do it! THIS. PROGRAM. IS. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY.

    -Kristen Good, Kristen Good Collective

  • "10 months later, my rates have tripled"

    90 Day Business Launch was so much more detailed than anything I’ve ever seen. It was structured, it was customized to me, and the fact that Michelle had done it so much before gave me confidence. I just knew that if I followed the process, I was going to launch – and that’s exactly what happened. In the first year of my business I equaled my old salary. In the first 6 months of this year, I made that same amount! I love my business and the people I work with. There’s no way I’d be where I am without 90 Day Business Launch. No way.

    -Erica Ando, Erica Ando Artist Coaching

  • “Joining 90 Day Business Launch changed everything”

    People would tell me all the time they love my art, but I didn't have any place for them to buy it, and most of it wasn't finished. I'd set goals, do the work, and then wouldn't take any further action towards my goals. 90 Day Business Launch gave me a guide moving forward. I now have a clear structure I can use over and over again to support my growth as an Artist and Business Owner. The biggest highlight was getting constant feedback and gaining a new network of friends who support one another in their business. I feel confident, and I believe I can do this more than ever.

    -Jennyann Cathern, Paint is Thicker Than Water

  • “I grossed $100k in my first year of business”

    90 Day Business Launch gave me the starting point I needed, and led to the launch of my business, complete with a mission, packages, website, business cards, email list service - the works. Feeding off Michelle's enthusiasm and brainstorming new ideas for my budding business made my dreams tangible and, though no less scary, accessible. Working through many of the details of launching my business that kept me paralyzed allowed me to confidently put myself and my offerings into the world. I've learned to have a big picture vision while putting one foot in front of the other. I have a full pipeline with an estimated gross revenue of $250k next year. I am confident I have what it takes to run a successful company and learned how to push through the unknown.

    -Misty Molloy, CoCreative Interiors

  • “Would have taken months or years to get to on my own"

    Signing up for 90 Day Business Launch was the best decision. Michelle was the best sounding board for ideas, great at setting me straight when my shiny object syndrome kicked in, and I really respected her feedback because of her knowledge and experience. She has such a thoughtful and fun way of directing that our work together was not work, but something I looked forward to. I'm ready to move forward, together with my fears and doubts, and make this shiz happen!

    -Wendy Conrad, Your Happy Workplace

  • “I have the foundation needed to continue building my dream business”

    I was stuck on creating my offers, getting clarity on what to do, making decisions and focusing. Because of 90 Day Business Launch, I have offers that are clearly communicated and a completed website. I've gained momentum in showing up consistently for my business and have a stronger belief in my work. I really value personal connection, so I appreciated the personal videos Michelle made me with her feedback on my work. Having a coach that shows up and believes in me is priceless.

    -Nunya Herron-Stewart, Soulfully Livin’

  • “I finally feel like I have a strong foundation to build my business on”

    I tried to put together and launch a website for four years and just couldn't get it done. I was overwhelmed, big time. Because of this program, my website was done in a few months and it's something I'm super proud of sharing! Michelle treats your ideas with so much love, respect and care and also gives so many tough love reality checks. And sharing space with other motivated, driven, multi-passionate people was just what I needed - it felt amazing to know I wasn't alone.

    -Larissa D'Silva, Three Circles Wellness

  • “After six years of getting nowhere, I have a wonderful new biz”

    I was so stuck on my own overthinking! I had worked out different plans on my own and only felt overwhelm, self-doubt, and paralysis. Having a clear path forward and milestones for the 90 days made all the difference in the world. While I still have moments of insecurity and self-doubt, I have better strategies to deal with them. I know that I am well set for success.

    -Sheryl Gervais, Sheryl Gervais

  • “I know the voice of my business finally!”

    I’ve owned my business for 10 years and struggled with holding myself accountable, finding progress in the core foundation of my business, and figuring out a way to pull in more clients. Because of 90 Day Business Launch, I have a clearly defined core audience and a website that speaks to them! I've simplified my offerings and identified a clear marketing focus that I feel confident in implementing. This program will be the catalyst to move your business forward.

    -Emily Marko, Emily Marko

  • “I can DO this”

    I was stuck with moving forward. I worked a lot of hours and felt like I had barely made movements towards the coaching career I wanted. With Michelle's energy and support through 90 Day Business Launch, this business had come to life. A year later, I was asked to do a workshop at a retreat and it was a success. The work that I did during 90 Day Business Launch meant that I didn’t have to “think” about what I was gonna share. I only had to act.

    -Tanya Robinson, The Bitch Whisperer

  • “I would still be staring at the blank page if not for this program”

    Michelle got me solidly on the business part of the path to my passions. It’s all part of a longer trajectory to a more fulfilling life than what I have been living now no matter what happens. I know there is more to learn, but even then I have excitement working on those mundane things because finally every piece of learning and work is mine and there to grow my OWN beautiful business.

    -Tracy Lakshmi Cunningham, Spiral Heart Healing

  • “A perfect programme”

    I thought that 90 Day Business Launch was very professional and organized. A lot of resources. I got clear direction, good deadlines, loads of support, and it was easy to ask for help. It’s clear that Michelle is a specialist in this area and has done this many times. She is dependable, knowledgeable, and gave top notch feedback. Everything I wanted to create a credible business, I have now.

    -Cliodhna Nolan, Hypnotherapy & Life Coaching by Clio

  • "First clients and first guest appearance”

    I grew up with so many limiting beliefs about having your own business, that I didn't even think it was manageable. Michelle brought me to deeper thinking in a fun way and cleared me from this fog of questions and doubts. In just 3 months I had a clear business plan, my own business cards, my own website, and a program to offer. Soon after launching I got my first clients, found a better day job, and got booked on an online talk show!

What will it feel like to wake up in 90 days and (finally!) be a business owner?

You'll feel proud of the work you're putting into the world, because you can tangibly see it online and know it's how you’re uniquely able to help others.

You'll know how to make time for your business no matter your limitations, since you've spent the last 90 days showing up over and over again.

You’ll have a clear client onboarding process so you know exactly what to do when there’s a knock on your business door.

If you’re a product-based business owner, you’ll have a shop hosted on your own site, all set up for sales and customer info.

You'll know how to answer the dreaded "So, what do you do?" question as it relates to your business, with a clear and concise elevator pitch.

You'll have a simple, authentic and effective marketing plan that is rooted in building relationships, not being all over social media.

You’ll have a professional website that will do the heavy lifting for you and that you can’t wait to share.

You’ll be ready for your first networking group of likeminded creative entrepreneurs (that’s full of my former clients and forever free!), ready to be your clients, collaborators, and friends.

You'll have a bigger belief that you can actually make this work.

You'll (finally!) be out of your head and taking action instead of overthinking.

You can truly see how you can make real money from this, and can start to make a plan around leaving your day job that's based on a real timeline.

You'll (finally!) be working in the business instead of on it.

You'll have tapped into what your heart and gut have been telling you what you need to do for yourself, your future and your freedom - and you'll be listening.

FAQS ⬇️

FAQS ⬇️

 

  • Head to 90daybusinesslaunch.com/register to claim your spot! I can’t wait to work with you!

  • If you’re a creative human who has an idea for a service- or product-based business, then 90 Day Business Launch was made for you.

    Meaning:

    If you want to work directly with clients - whether as a coach, consultant, teacher, or some form of creative (copywriter, designer, etc.) you’re in the right place!

    If you want to offer your own products that you hand make, order in small batches and/or print on demand, you’re also in the right place!

    If you’re looking to start a brick-and-mortar venture, want to manufacture products, and/or you need traditional business loans, this probably is not for you!

    But if you wanna double-check, book a no-obligation consultation and I’ll be happy to chat with you about it.

  • Absolutely!

    Once you register, you'll get a welcome email along with immediate access to all the 90 Day Business Launch lessons. You’ll be able to join our private Mighty Network group - where you'll have direct access to me and your fellow Launchers - and start working as soon as you’d like!

    The lessons are autonomous and held in a course platform called Kajabi, which allows you to have a unique log-in so you can keep track of where you are in the program.

    You’ll also receive a link to add our biweekly calls to the calendar, and you can jump into the next one without missing a beat.

    For 120 days from your enrollment day, you’ll have access to:

    • the lessons in Kajabi

    • the private Mighty Network community

    • our biweekly hour-long calls

    • the private BIPOC calls and subgroup, if applicable

    • the call recordings

    You’ll also receive the Squarespace template as well as full ownership over it, so that’s yours forever.

    And once your 120 days are up, you’ll be added to my alumni networking group for forever-free access to that separate private community along with our guest workshops and monthly calls.

  • I don't offer any full or partial refunds at any point before, during or after the program. When you make the commitment to join 90 Day Business Launch, you make the commitment to pay for the entire program whether you're able to do all the work or not. The good news is that your show-up rate tends to skyrocket when you put your time, energy, and money behind your goal...and that the plan, worksheets, and template are something you own forever and can come back to at any time.

  • My payment plans take the full price of your package and divides it into 6 equal monthly, automatic payments. There is only a 5% fee for choosing a payment plan over paying in a lump sum. You can see the details here.

  • We'll meet every Tuesday and Thursday for group calls, but I move the times around between 10am-6pm Eastern each week to better accommodate all time zones (and avoid the dreaded “But I can never do Tuesdays at 3pm!). There's a handy-dandy add-to-calendar link when you're inside so they can get on your calendar in a snap.

    Tuesday will always be our open Q&A calls, where you submit anything business-related that’s on your mind. While I’m there to give my take and thoughts on anything - I’m always the first one to offer my response - your fellow Launchers are also there to chime in, give resources , offer support, etc. This is where the beauty of the hivemind really shines through!

    Each Thursday, you choose either Coworking or Conversation. If it’s the former, you’ll come with whatever work you want to move the needle on and I’ll put you in a breakout room with other working Launchers like you. If it’s the latter, I’ll give you prompts and put you in a few different breakout rooms so you can connect further with your fellow Launchers and get support, insight, and camaraderie. And who knows? In these calls, you might find your next collaborator, or client, or referral, or accountability partner, or mastermind group!

    Then, once a month, there’s a BIPOC-only call with vp wright, a business coach who is Black.This is a safer, inclusive space to talk about any challenges or concerns you’re experiencing as a woman of color that relates to becoming a business owner.

    BIG NOTE: You are not expected to be on every call, so take the pressure off. With the exception of the Thursday calls (where the action happens in breakout rooms that can’t be recorded), everything is recorded and available within a few hours of wrapping up.

  • Mostly me! I’m the only coach here - really! No admins. No junior coaches. None of that.

    I lead every call and am in our private community 3 times/week. That means you shouldn’t ever have to wait more than 48 business hours to get my response to anything you post.

    The only other person you’ll interact with is vp wright, the Business Coach who leads our private BIPOC calls and subgroup.

    Besides us, you’ll have some expert teachers delivering lessons on branding (Verô Souza) and legalization (Michelle Wilson Murphy).

  • In 2021, while some of my current clients struggled to work through their launch list under the weight of the George Floyd trial, the passing of multiple family members, and chronic illness flare-ups - that the 1-way-to-launch-your-dream-business-effectively-and-impactfully that I was touting wasn’t just untrue, but harmful.

    I cleared my calendar the day I realized this and spent time creating Optional lessons - aka “nice-to-haves” for launch that aren’t necessary.

    That means that we can work with whatever bandwidth you can bring to the table. If you can do the Optional lessons in time for your launch, great! If you wanna skip over them and circle back to ‘em later, great!

    This is a big reason why I prioritize making this a “high touch” program, though - so I can meet you where you are and give you whatever you need. Just chime in on our weekly call or our private Mighty Network group with what’s been challenging and where you want to go, and I’ll be there to help you come up with Plan YOU.

  • Absolutely! My free training gets super specific, so grab your fave notetaking tool and sign up right here.

  • I'm committed to an ongoing anti-racist education, and actively creating and changing policies to reflect all I'm learning. You can learn about my teachings, goals and stats right here in my DEI Statement.

    With that, I have a Zero Tolerance policy for hate speech in any group I run. These include - but are not limited to - statements that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic. Microaggressions, tone policing, name calling, gossip and bullying are also not permitted. If any words or actions are causing or have caused harm in the community, I have the right to review the situation and make a final decision as to how to give reparations, including removal from the group sans refund.

    In addition, private, monthly group coaching calls and a private space within our Mighty Network group will be available for my BIPOC clients during the course of this program - led by vp wright, a Business Coach who is Black. It’s about time that you have a safe and inclusive space to unpack what you’re going through as an aspiring business owner of color, and I’m hoping these spaces will provide just that.

  • Yes! I’ve committed to giving full scholarship spots to 10% of my clientele, and applications open up yearly. If you identify as part of a further marginalized group and would like to apply for a need-based scholarship, you can learn more here.

  • They don’t! I’m really proud that you can come into the program on your timeline, and launch your business 90 days later. No need to wait for a new group to start!

    That said:

    I can’t guarantee that the pricing won’t increase or the bonuses will still be here If you hold off on joining. Those are always subject to change.

    It’s worth noting that I’ve been coaching since 2008, and I’ve never had a client say to me, “Wow! My schedule is wide open and I have zero commitments. It’s the perfect time to do this work!” The real question is whether launching your business is a priority right now, and if you can make some hard decisions in your life as to what you need to say NO or NOT NOW to currently in order to say YES to your 90 Day Business Launch.

  • This is a big reason why you’ll have access to all 90 Day Business Launch lessons, calls and community site for 120 days total. If you need a buffer, it’s right there for you.

    And:

    I am not here to uphold hustle culture and bro marketing and tell you that the only way to have an impactful and effective business launch is to complete everrrrrrrrrything I lay out for you by launch day. We have to take into account what’s happening in our world and in our own backyards, and ensure we care for ourselves along the way. That is why I give you optional lessons to complete for a hustle-free experience. You can decide at any time whether to implement or skip, and I’m always available to support you along the way. My goal is to get you to your entrepreneurial starting point, no matter what that looks like.

    And and:

    If you do need more time, you can add an additional 30 days to your end date for $494 with payment plans available. You can start the additional 30 days right away, or anytime up to 3 months after your initial start date. Hope that helps you breathe easier!

  • Absolutely, depending on your bandwidth! With bite-size, streamlined, simplified and autonomous lessons - some marked OPTIONAL, as they’re nice-to-haves but not needed for your launch - you can make a lot of traction in a little amount of time.

    As I’m writing this, a Launcher has already breezed through Phase 1 (foundational business pieces) + the branding and copywriting lessons…and she’s only been in the program for 16 days! She wants to launch in 30 days and we’re both optimistic she’ll get there.

    (And yes, I’m considering renaming this program 30 Day Business Launch! #halfkidding)

  • Yes! I have a list of trusted referrals in my front pocket that I don’t keep to myself. You can reach out to them anytime and hire your favorite!

    But also, you’ll have to trust me when I say that you might think you can’t do this yourself…but you haven’t met this process, these lessons, and my personalized feedback yet! I’d say 90% of Launchers have chosen to DIY it - and you wouldn’t know the diffrence!

  • Absolutely! Contact me and let me know about your business idea and preferred start date. I’ll send along a consultation call link so I can lay out the details and we can chat about it further. Please note that a private 90 Day Business Launch costs $5776, and payment plans are available.

    It’s also worth noting that you can absolutely add on 1:1 time during the program for $800 per session. It’s also also worth noting that only a couple of Launchers have taken me up on this since I created this option is 2021. As my former Launcher Brittany says, “While this is a group program and you have the community of peers going through a similar process, Michelle has managed to make it still feel like I get 1-on-1 coaching.” So as long as you show up and ask for what you need along the way, I’d be surprised if you needed anything additional.

  • Absolutely! I could actually call this program 90 Day Business Re-Launch :)

    I often have Launchers who are existing business owners, but know they need to (re)visit what makes up their business foundation - and rebuild their offers, branding, and marketing plan accordingly.

    Some have been at this for a little while without many clients to show for it, while others have been in their business for years and know things need to change. As long as you’re a creative person who feels aligned to this process, structure and support - and your business offers a service - then this is the right place for you.

  • I'm totally challenging that, since I've found that some people who claim they have no ideas really do! Even if you're skeptical, tell me more in my contact form anyway. I'll be honest as to whether 90 Day Business Launch is for you, and refer you to some really great coaches if not.

  • Here’s what I recommend you’ll be paying for:

    • Squarespace for your website platform. You’ll just need the Personal plan, and I have a code for you to save 10%. That would make it about $21/month or $173/year.

    • Your domain. You get a free year of your domain with your Squarespace plan, but subsequent years should cost you about $8-$15/year depending on the hosting service you choose.

    • Your business email. No, I definitely don’t want you to use your @gmail.com or @yahoo.com email addresses for your business. For $6/month or $72/year, you can get an email address that ends in @yoururlhere.com and makes you look super professional.

    • Your business address. If you’re utilizing email marketing and/or you incorporate your business, you’ll need an address that’s not your private residence. For $5-$15/month, you can have a virtual mailbox that can be used for business purposes.

    • Your newsletter (optional). If you decide to launch with a newsletter, MailerLite (my suggestion) is free to start, YAY!

    • Filing your LLC, S-Corp or Sole Proprietorship (optional). If you choose to incorporate sooner rather than later, fees vary by state and seem to range from$40-$370. If you choose to have someone file on your behalf (like your accountant), that would be an additional cost.

    There you have it! You only need about an extra $50 on hand to start many of these subscriptions, minus the filings. And if you want to pay these platforms annually, about $500 should do it.

  • This is how I see it: no matter what, you need to pick your stress preference. What feels more stressful: Working for someone else, having to abide to their rules and schedule and whatever they ask of you while probably not feeling super authentic or connected to what you do but having access to a steady paycheck and benefits...or being able to work when you want with who you want on what you want but have 100% ownership on where your next check comes from? If it's the latter, you can absolutely be a successful entrepreneur.

  • Certainly not! 90 Day Business Launch is different because it's customized to you and your business, but any other knowledge you have about marketing or running your business is yours to use and will put you ahead of the game.

  • Absolutely! I'd be happy to chat to see if 90 Day Business Launch is right for you, and answer any questions you have. Book it right here and know there’s zero obligation attached.

  • Possibly. And then you're gonna feel so.much.love and support and pride that it's not even gonna matter! One of my most recent Launchers emailed me midway through her Launch Day with this all-caps message: “IT FEELS LIKE MY BIRTHDAY!” That can absolutely be you, too!

  • "If you have a passion, but no structure to it, THIS IS YOUR PROGRAM. "

    Launching a business has been similar to my experience with pregnancy and motherhood. There's so much prep work (pregnancy) that goes into being a mother... but then you have your baby and the doc is like, okay, time to go home! And you freak out. Well Michelle served as my prenatal yoga instructor, prenatal doula and now also my postpartum doula, nurse, confidant, and lactation consultant! In the launch of my business she has been AMAZING. I'm leaving feeling so organized, empowered and would recommend this program to anyone who was in the same spot. The "90 day" timeframe also allowed me to stay focused and finish what it is I started, rather than just putting it off time and time again.

    -Serena Tillman, Theikos Health

  • “Everything I knew I needed in one program”

    90 Day Business Launch helped me build my business from a strong foundation. The lessons were incredibly detailed and really broke down the process into digestible steps. This helped me take the next right steps without feeling overwhelmed. Michelle is kind, knowledgeable, supportive, assertive, patient, and understanding. She helped me see that what I have to say IS actually important and that someone out there needs my message. I’m so proud of myself for what it was able to accomplish in 90 Day Business Launch because I know I never would have gotten this far on my own (I know because I’ve tried several times over the past 6 years!). I’m beyond grateful for the support, community, and the lessons I’ve learned.

    -Danielle Facchine, The Single Life Revolution

  • "This is the first business program where I felt seen, known, and valued"

    I had tried many other programs to get me on the path to a business that makes money, but I felt lost and didn’t make progress. Enter 90 Day Business Launch. The methodology and framework gave me clarity on my audience, offerings, and how I wanted to show up and be in service. Michelle’s feedback and guidance is unrivaled. The statement of inclusion and the system that’s in place for harm gave me comfort to be myself and know that if I were harmed I would be heard. The highlight has been developing a polished, professional website that I would be proud to send people to and an offering that I can now launch and market. I am confident in my business direction and know that I will start to bring in clients and create more programs.

    -Dr. Abigail Joseph, The Innovation Doctor

  • “8 clients & a booked speaking gig within 2 weeks of launching”

    Because of 90 Day Busieess Launch, every cell in my body felt incredibly confident, excited, and PREPARED! And now I even have the program on a waitlist. Michelle had unwavering faith in me, and provided positive but realistic hope and expectations. She is someone that I want in my "circle" for many years to come!

    -Angela Kadin, Angela Kadin

  • "Went straight to having a clear, real business of my own"

    With 90 Day Business Launch, I got to skip over the “learning it all the hard way on my own” phase. Michelle gave my business personal, detailed attention. I felt like I had a business partner to keep the momentum moving and to lay out a roadmap to make it all happen. She zeroed in on the key elements that made it cohesive, clear, and manageable for a launch. She was decisive when I couldn’t be.

    -Carole Ann Penney, Penney Leadership

  • “A fantastic guide and brilliant facilitator”

    I worked with Michelle years ago, and we had such a blast, and I derived so much clarity from our time together, that it was a no-brainer to work again with her to bring this new business to life! A Little Awareness would not be the living, breathing paradise it is without 90 Day Business Launch. Michelle will steer you in the right way. Trust yourself and trust her.

    -Suset Laboy-Perez, A Little Awareness

  • “My life saver and confidence creator”

    I was completely lost as to what I needed to do when I made the decision to start my coaching business. This program gave me step-by-step guidance and easy-to-understand pieces along the way. I also now have a solid understanding of what it will take to continue building it to the success I will achieve. Michelle gives unlimited support, a wealth of knowledge, and is so energizing to have on my team. 90 Day Business Launch is amazing and I won't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

    -Goldie Hartford, H.A.V.E. Solutions

  • “A 10/10 across the boards’”

    90 Day Business Launch felt like such a right fit for me to do the darn work to launch! And every launcher was cheering each other on. The love and support of my fellow launchers and Michelle helped keep my inner critic at bay. She was always kind and supportive and having an answer to my questions, even when the answer was that it was my decision. The knowledge and expertise and resources shared have been so helpful, and I know they will continue to be helpful, too. I learned so much about being a CEO, how to freaking launch and how to trust my instincts from the love and support here!

    -Casey Anselmi, Embrace Your Spark

  • “I’m living the life I was meant to live.”

    I knew 2021 was the year I wanted to launch my business, and the process felt massive and overwhelming. When I started 90 Day Business Launch, I was working full-time in a 60-plus hour a week day job. I had trouble saying my idea out loud. Now I’m my own boss, with multiple clients and a pipeline that grows each week. I have the confidence to describe my business and what I offer to anyone. I charge what I think I'm worth, and people pay it! On launch day, I had four potential clients reach out to ask how to start working with me. I also landed a speaking gig at a national conference before my business launched.

    -Portia Stewart, Midfull Creatives

  • “I felt totally supported’”

    In 90 Day Business Launch, everything was clearly laid out, there was built-in accountability, and the targeted feedback from Michelle was just phenomenal. She shows up in every way, knows her shit and knows how to gently (but firmly) guide people to launch and beyond. I found her coaching to be resourceful, precise, and actionable. I loved the guidance and fun, renewed energy I felt (and still feel) towards my business. I'm really excited about the possibilities of what I could provide, what my secret sauce is, and how I can best serve others while not draining myself.

    Sarah Davis, The Connected Podcaster

  • “Useful, practical, detailed material and an enjoyable process”

    The lessons in 90 Day Business Launch are presented in clear and accessible ways -- with Michelle's incredible enthusiasm and energy!! Despite the amount of deep work involved, it's an enjoyable process. The mindset work at the beginning of the course set me up for success. Referring back to my business plan, when it was time to do the copywriting and website pieces, made creating my website easier. I benefited from the continual support of the other Launchers throughout, which kept me from feeling too stuck or overwhelmed. I launched my business on time! It's been a great experience and I'd definitely recommend it!

    -Addie Kugler-Lunt, Two for Tea Studio

  • “I was able to focus on the essentials and not get distracted by the noise’”

    90 Day Business Launch was so fun and approachable and complete. Without the program and the insights about what is actually important and what to let go of, I would have spent all my time perfecting things that are not essential to launching. I loved knowing that others in the community were going through the same challenges and wins; that helped to validate my journey. The aspect of community was scary at first and now I am really going to miss it! And while I thought Michelle wouldn't be able to convey such support through videos and not being live, it really worked. She really understood what I was going through at every stage. Now I have a complete set of tools, both physical and mentally, to move forward confidently. I also have an awesome community of support.

    -Juliet Jones, More Sustainable Consulting

  • “It felt like a breeze”

    With 90 Day Business Launch, I gained the confidence and peace to launch my business along with some wonderful resources that I will continue to use to grow my business. I met some wonderful and supportive people in this program - including myself! I know I grew a lot in this program. I felt supported every step of the way, with Michelle making all the Launchers feel heard and equally important. She brought an infectious exuberance and energy to every call, every recording, every written message. The highlight of the program is hard to pinpoint. It all worked together so well, so smoothly. I was able to do a hard, life-changing thing!

    -Jessica Brant, Cosmic Chord with J

  • "Nothing could have been better"

    The program gave me everything I needed to launch my website/business in 90 days! The information and resources were so enriching, and the checklists and plans were the best in helping me stay on target to get to launch day. It all flowed so perfectly over the course of our time together. Michelle was super encouraging and so resourceful throughout the entire program.

    -Sunni Dineen, Sunni Dineen Handcrafted Design

  • “Exactly (and more!) what I was hoping to receive”

    Throughout the program, I got to begin the practice of both loving on and practically bringing to life the business of my dreams. I now know what it looks and feels like to regularly love on my business baby that is in alignment with my energy level, my essence, and my JOY! It is a tremendous gift to be living in this reality. :) I am incredibly thankful to have this dream made into reality!

    -Naomi Faith, Lead + Transform

  • “Enabled me to change my life”

    I've learned what to offer, how to market myself, and the confidence to do so. The one-on-one attention during the Q&As and in the Mighty Network group was by far the most helpful. Michelle is kind and helpful and everything I needed/wanted as a leader/guide. I'm going in a completely different direction with my career and I'm so grateful.

    -Victoria Veldhoen, Questions Unasked

  • “I am no longer at a standstill!”

    I hit a wall with my previous attempt at launching my business. I saw many roads and was stuck at the fork! But Michelle is present and supportive, here for everyone and anyone who needs guidance or assistance in any way. She's upfront, open and genuinely cares. Because of 90 Day Business Launch, I'm the CEO of my own destiny... and have met some amazingly talented and supportive people along the journey!

  • “Opportunities that actually feel aligned with what I do, who I am, and what I care about”

    I started my business seven years ago, but felt limited by what I could do and overwhelmed with what to focus on next. Now, I finally have an expansive vision of what my business can be. My website actually feels like ME and I feel proud to show it off and excited for the space to evolve too. I've been able to generate more content without overthinking it and my marketing feels way more fun and easy. More than anything, being part of this program helped me believe that I can trust myself. I am the CEO of not only my business, but also my life. Just a few weeks post-launch, I've already left behind freelance gigs in order to pursue the heart-work that actually excites me. It finally all feels possible now.

    -Lindsey Jo Scott, Lindsey Jo Scott

  • “Made me accountable to do the damn thing already!”

    Being stuck on the details have held me prisoner before, and it was such a relief not to be enslaved to that. I did what I was supposed to do and launched my business, coming out with friends in the process. Michelle attracted the right energy and gave awesome coaching.

    -Kat Poulos, Fit Fierce Coaching

  • “I feel hopeful and prepared that this business will grow”

    I felt tired, frustrated and lost, like I had this dream to build a business but I didn’t know if it could be real. Because of 90 Day Business Launch, I am excited instead of embarrassed to talk about this business. The group was so helpful when problems came up, and I feel amazed at what I put together. It feels like a kind of coming out... I am an entrepreneur, I have built something that I feel proud to share, I feel confident it will grow, I feel amazed at what I put together!

    -Christine Soja, Art Alchemy

  • “A fully supported and engaging program”

    90 Day Business Launch was well thought out and set up, and the environment was safe to show up and admit "I have no clue". Michelle was involved and present throughout the process, reviewing content and providing feedback. At times it felt like she had "fail proofed” the program--like making sure the crib sides were up to catch us...I felt supported and cared for. As a woman of color I deeply appreciated the BIPOC sessions. It seems like Michelle had thought out all the obstacles and created support structures and/or sessions to keep us all engaged or willing to get back on the horse.

    -Ruth Littlejohn, Ruth Littlejohn

  • “Finally feel like I’m going somewhere in my life and am enjoying every step on the way”

    I developed a fuzzy business idea but it was so overwhelming that I didn't even know where to start. I joined 90 Day Business Launch, and it gave me everything I needed to believe in myself and in my ideas! Plus the blueprint to actually launch a business within 90 days. Absolutely f***ing amazing! Without it I would have spent many more months on researching, feeling totally overwhelmed, lost and alone. Then, I most likely would have given up on the whole idea. But instead, I was able to build the groundwork for my business, and am so proud! I now know that I can figure out everything, one step at a time. And that gives me deep confidence.

  • “Greatly helped me stay accountable and on-track, hitting each milestone and reaching launch day”

    I gained (1) greater clarity on the ideas behind my business and the audience I wish to serve, as well as (2) an actionable plan to write copy, build a website, and begin marketing. Without 90 Day Business Launch, I know it would have taken me months or years to figure everything out on my own. This program broke down the major steps we each needed to take, making goals doable and achievable in a relatively short time frame, and taking out lost time and frustrations due to trial-and-error. I am currently in the process of working with my first two clients, and I am proud of the professionalism of my website, copy, opt-in -- everything! I have greater confidence because of this experience; I feel like I can continue to model this structure with both my business and personal goals and continue to see positive results.

    -Erin Schalk, Bridging Art

  • “I’m so proud of myself for finally doing it”

    I had been wanting to start a business for the last 25 years. I knew I needed structure and accountability to do it. Because of 90 Day Business Launch, I now have a beautiful website. I have a business and many ideas for offerings. The support from Michelle and my fellow launchers - as well as the structure of the program - was key.

    -Jodi Crane, Art & Play Haven

  • “A roadmap to success”

    Prior to 90 Day Business Launch, I had no idea what my first steps should be. I found myself going in circles between market research, website design, branding, etc without making much progress in any direction. Now, I'm very proud of my professional looking site and my plan and strategy in place.

    -Maria Stawnichy, Future Me Finance

  • “I would never have gotten here so quickly”

    It was awesome to get clear on my business right at the start, and build the core foundations to bring me through the rest of the 90 days. It was like building a map of the whole forest when I was lost in the trees, and it made me feel better having a group of people who did this alongside me. Now I know I'm not alone in the process of building a business for myself, and I’m no longer running around in circles.

    -Melissa Brumm, Slow Life Revolution

  • “I am proud of my authentic business”

    I couldn’t figure out how to communicate what I was trying to offer my clients and was overwhelmed by all of the launch related tasks. I didn’t know where to start. Committing to launching a business in 90 days felt like a stretch, but I am SO proud to have kept this promise to myself. I’ve gained confidence by taking the launch process one step at a time and being successful. I’ve learned how resourceful I am about finding solutions to technology related problems. I’m proud of how my copywriting, branding, and web design feels. I’ve got a realistic, minimalist marketing plan that I’m implementing without feeling too overwhelmed. This was a 7 year old goal that I finally got to check off my list.

  • “I now have a clear offering that resonates with my ideal clients”

    I had been offering 1:1 services and knew I was ready to transition into a different type of offering, but I wasn't clear on how to pull that together. I was stuck on how to package and present it and honestly, I was feeling a bit defeated. As a result of 90 Day Business Launch, I was able to bring my vision to life. I've learned that when I have structure, a timeline and support, I can finish what I start. My inner critic isn't quite as loud now and when she does speak up, I have more tools in place to navigate the conversation. My biggest takeaway from this program is that massive progress can be made in a small amount of time when that time is focused on the right tasks, quality resources are used and you have guidance.

  • “Indisputably changed my life”

    I have not only gained the confidence and tools to finally begin a business that I cannot wait to get up for, but I have also finally shirked the paralyzing perfectionism that kept me from going for my most exciting goals. It was the permission I needed to finally put it all out there, be vulnerable, and have the courage to be seen. Michelle was my first fan, and that enthusiasm rings true as my business continues to grow every day. She made me feel completely attended to on a highly personal level, and I was so grateful for every minute. I am enjoying the alumni group as a continuing element, and have recommended this program to many peers.

    -Shelby Lewis, Big Bold Choices

  • "I quit my job"

    I immediately gained a sense of clarity around the steps I needed to take to get my business off the ground, and a timeline to do so. Michelle's concrete plan after our daylong planning session, broken down into monthly tasks, was such a lifesaver. I immediately felt like this was a viable, marketable business and that I could absolutely succeed as a badass business lady! Less than 2 months after I launched, I quit my day job and am devoted full-time to growing and running my business! On my own I'm not sure I would be where I'm at now.

  • "Clinical business knowledge and genuine care"

    If you could bag up Michelle’s positive energy, motivational ability, attitude and enthusiasm, people around the world would be running into shops and frantically asking the staff if they “have any bags of ‘Michelle’ for sale?” She will make you feel like she is your business ‘Mom’, mentor, muse and spiritual guide, all wrapped into one truly brilliant business coach. This combination is baked into a batch of ‘you will succeed in business’, sweet, heavenly brownies (aka tasks, lessons and group calls) that you will want to devour over and over. Honestly, she WILL help you succeed.

    -Gavin Byron Harris, Everyday Poetry

  • “The guided progress was so valuable!”

    I was spinning my wheels trying to DIY my business launch. The program helped me focus on exactly what I needed! Michelle knows the steps necessary to reach your business launch. I stayed focused on the areas she outlined, and it helped me not get overwhelmed with all the other things I thought I "should" be doing. Save yourself a year of back and forth not knowing what and how to launch your business and sign up for 90 Day Business Launch. I'm so glad I did it and am looking forward to staying connected with the other Launchers in the future!

    -Amber Pecoraro, B’Joyed Coaching

  • “A legitimate and professional business”

    I wanted accountability, encouragement and support to get my website and business off and running and I received that in spades! Michelle really cares about making sure that everyone feels supported and gets what they need about the program. Being able to jump into this community and connect with everyone else as my business owner self really has helped re-affirm my decision to run my own business. I now have the ability to move past the perfectionist thinking that was keeping me stuck and from moving forward. Being able to hear Michelle's voice in my head encouraging me to "make a wobbly CEO decision" and turn in my best B work has been game-changing. In a more practical sense, I now have a very impressive website and Instagram page.

  • "Launched my business professionally in record time"

    I was telling myself that I wasn't able to succeed, that nobody sees my capabilities, and that I was doing it all wrong. But with the support of the 90 Day Business Launch community along with Michelle’s accountability and guidance, I gained confidence in myself and my ability to share my knowledge. Michelle was always there for me with great insights and compassion. The program is well structured, with excellent advice from an awesome coach.

    -Sofia Mourato, The Communications Ecologist

  • "Exactly what I needed to get myself unstuck”

    90 Day Business Launch set me on the right trajectory to learn how to do the solopreneur thing. Michelle is a treasure trove of knowledge and experience. Her insights and advice are always so spot on and her enthusiasm, support, and guidance are nothing short of pure gold. If you’re someone who wants to get your business off the ground, and let’s be honest, a little hand holding along the way - Michelle just “has it”. She is the most authentic, empathetic, hilarious, supportive, cheerleader of a coach that anyone could ever ask for and I’m so lucky that I found her.

  • "Getting feedback as I was working through each phase was a game changer"

    I've spent the last decade taking sooooo many sales/marketing businesses programs and they were either too much info or not enough. This just felt right. Everything was laid out perfectly and each module lead to the next. It was so simple and easy for me to complete and this course really took the stress off my plate because I didn't feel pressured to have to finish certain things that weren't really necessary for where I'm at in my business. The encouragement and belief Michelle had in me was a huge part of why I was able to make my launch day.
