What I loved most about The Start was Sara’s energy and the way she made everything seem clear and easy to understand. I felt like each module I not only learned and understood more, but I got a shot of motivational encouragement to go along with it.  I appreciate the time and energy that Sara put into creating this course and how genuine her engagement is. I was also repeatedly blown away by how much knowledge and information Sara has and is willing to share and give. I love how she thinks and how her brain works! When I began The Start my business was a wish and idea. By the end of the course, I had already had my first discovery call and was a million times more confident than when I started. The Start truly set me up with a business and the confidence that I needed to move forward.   

The Start was perfect for the guidance and accountability I needed at the time where I had nowhere else to turn and very little money to invest in my learning. I loved how Sara really wanted us to use the knowledge that we had to secure our clients with no pressure of learning new tools.  The Start gave me the foundation that I needed to figure out how to price my services and plan out my income. It also provided the framework for the messaging that I still use to describe how I can help my potential clients in my So-That Statement. Since completing the program, I started my boutique Strategic Management Firm and now know that my tangible strengths are in Management and Operations.  

When I began The Start, my business was a dream and now it is a reality that is bringing in income. I knew that I could do this, but having templates and business models provided and explained provided so much value that I was able to instantly implement into my business. I loved that The Start did exactly what I wanted it to; it took out so much of the guessing game especially around what services I provide and pricing for my services.  I launched my business after 2 weeks of going through The Start. Since then I have had 5 clients; 2 project based and 3 on monthly retainers. My goal initially was to make $1,000 my first month and $2,500 for November and December. So far my income for the combined months is $3,000 and will be at least $3,600. Because I was provided so much knowledge during The Start, I’ve been able to launch my business with confidence. I know my value add and what I can offer. I also know that I won’t land every client, every discovery call won’t be a match and that’s okay.  

I’d say that prior to The Start, my confidence and sense of self-accomplishment was very low. But now that I have graduated and have been able to put the program into action, my confidence has sky-rocketed! Being able to do what I love, in the capacity that I have with the encouragement from Sara, has made all the difference. In my first month since completing The Start, I’ve signed 4 clients and have matched my 8am-5pm Full-Time job Salary! I can’t wait to scale more over the next month and leave my 8am-5pm for good.  I don’t know if there is a way to describe HOW beneficial it was, but if I could rate it on a scale of 1-10, I would have to give it an INFINITY. I am a REAL business owner now and it’s unreal to even think of.  

The Start provided me with small bite size info, mentorship that was empowering, and a good level of technical info. It helped me to have a better understanding of my baseline, where to go from there and how to achieve results in my business.  Because of this program, my biz now has a clear statement. I now know my direction. I understand my values and I know how to sell my skills! All of that is pretty awesome!  

Even though I have exceptional professional and leadership experience, I knew nothing about starting my own business as a service provider. I’m so grateful I came across The Start program! It allowed me an opportunity to set myself and my business up with the guidance of Sara, an expert in this arena. The Start helped me build a solid foundation that immediately began forming an actual business. When I signed up for The Start, I was still trying to understand how to make my skills turn into a profitable business. In 4 weeks of  going through The Start, I booked and had several discovery calls. By week 5, I had signed my first 3 paying clients! By the completion of The Start, I had a new confidence about the value I bring and new clients that saw that value as well.  

Since I’ve completed The Start, I have much more confidence in my business and ability to sell my services out. I have had more discovery calls than ever before, and signed on a new client. The Start has given me the confirmation that what I am doing is correct and to keep moving forward with my business. I definitely recommend this program!
