Entrepreneur Boot Camp for Women Home Study

Feel like you’re spinning your wheels and struggling to get ahead with your small business?

It’s one thing to be really great at what you do, it’s quite another to build and grow a business from it.

In fact, this is the place where most entrepreneurs get stuck and stay stuck. But that doesn’t have to be you.

Building a business from nothing isn’t easy … especially when you aren’t a natural marketing genius and you haven’t spent decades learning the business of business. In fact it can feel totally overwhelming.

Chances are you have high expectations of yourself and you’ve been getting poor results and it’s starting to suck the confidence right out of you and make you wonder if you’re really going to be able to make a “go” of this.

What did you get yourself into?

Chances are you became a coach, consultant, copywriter, graphic designer, etc., because you love what you do, not because you wanted to spend all of your time “building” and marketing your business, right?

You probably felt so excited when you initially had the idea of going into business because you imagined the money, the freedom and the lifestyle you were going to create for yourself and it probably hasn’t worked out quite that way…yet. That’s probably why you’re reading this.

You might even be wondering what’s wrong with you and why does this feel soooooo hard.  And you’re tired. And frustrated. And scared that you’re going to have to go back and get a J-O-B.

TRUTH: There is nothing wrong with you, the only thing missing is you simply need to know some very basic business things which will make everything feel easier.

This home study program is designed for new & struggling women entrepreneurs who want to decrease the stress involved with building and growing a business and help you move from “STUCK” to “SWEET SUCCESS” much, much sooner!

Do you know what you don’t know?

The idea of becoming an entrepreneur or going to into business for your self carries a lot of appeal. Plus anyone and everyone is making it look so easy these days. You probably have day dreamed about the freedom you’ll have, the ability to pursue your passion, perhaps even have the opportunity to stay home with your children and make money and have the lifestyle you so dearly want to create for yourself and your family.

And it’s this excitement and passion that keeps you going forward and then after a while, reality sets in and it becomes apparent that there’s a lot of stuff you need to know to grow a business.  And it’s hard, harder than you thought it would be anyways.

Sometimes, you just need….

The whole idea of becoming an entrepreneur is like thinking about how cool it would be to summit a mountain and to stand on top of that peak. It’s so easy to think about the final destination and how awesome that’s going to be and it’s really easy to gloss over the things that you simply don’t know that you don’t know.

For instance it takes a lot of training and gear to hike up a mountain. You can’t just hop in your car in your shorts and flip flops and start walking.  You need to know where you’re going and a map to help you get there. You have to plan your ascent stages. You have to know what the basic equipment is that you’ll need and also the tools that could make reaching your goal easier. You have to understand how the weather might affect your journey. You need to pick the right team members to help you get there. Once you do all that, getting to the top is easy!

Wondering if it’s possible? It is…

Starting and running a profitable business takes the exact same thing. It’s great to have the goal of wanting to be a “successful entrepreneur” (akin to standing on top of a mountain) but you also need to know what it’s going to take to get you there. There are some definite business basics that are required and a lot of little things that, if known from the get-go, can make building a business a lot easier.

Do any of the following sound familiar to you?

• Do you love what you do but feel frustrated by all of the “back end business stuff” you need to do or learn and don’t even know where to start?

• Do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels and never seem to gain any ground?

• Are you sick of all the trial and error that makes you feel like you’re wasting your time and talent, and just want to figure out how to consistently bring more business in the door and have this whole experience feel easier?

If you answered, “yes” to any of these questions, you’re in the right place.

I spent a lot of time there myself when I started my business … too long, actually. There were a lot of things I simply didn’t know that I needed to know AND if I had know them, well, it would have changed my experience of my first “start-up” years dramatically.

I know I can’t eliminate all of the ups and downs that come with starting a business, but I can make the time between set-up and success far shorter.

And that means you can start bringing in the kind of business and money you want faster, so you can quickly create the lifestyle that drove you to do this in the first place AND finally feel like having a business is fun!

How do I know if this program is right for me?:

• You are starting to wonder if it’s even worth all the trouble and you feel like you’re losing your business mojo

• You’re losing your confidence because of all of the pieces you don’t know how to do, and you feel like you’re falling behind

• You are looking for quick, easy-to-follow directions on how to bring in more consistent business so you can quit struggling and start gaining some momentum and make some money

• You want to figure out how to spend more time doing your work, rather than trying to get the work so you can actually help the people you’re here to work with

• You want to learn what things to spend your time on so you don’t waste another minute procrastinating or feeling stuck

• You are ready to learn and do the work necessary to finally feel proud of your business

“Jen – I have to tell you that I was really nervous to register for your program as I am in the process of growing my business right now and every dollar is being spent very wisely. I don’t often enroll in courses like this but am SO happy that I did! I cannot believe how much I learned! You are literally a WEALTH of information. I feel like you did all of the success and marketing legwork for me and then handed it to me on a silver platter. I know exactly what I need to do to create services and products that can be repurposed in all different sorts of formats – this would have taken me forever to figure out on my own. I still find myself going back to the workbooks you created to read over information again when I get stuck and am always finding something new. I appreciated how you explained it all in a way that was easily digestible.”

This program isn’t for you if:

• You are already making 6 figures and/or have more clients than you can handle

• You have a team in place supporting you so don’t have to know how to do things like “build a list”

Gotcha! Give me the goods – What’s in this program?

This is a 6 module (workbook + audio) home study program that was designed to make your life easier and allow you to build your business faster.

As one of the past participants said, “The information is handed to you on a silver platter in an easy-to-understand manner”.

“I had a great idea for a business that I was passionate about, but I clearly needed business direction. A friend of mine recommended your program. Seriously, I couldn’t have been more pleased. It was like you read my mind. Before I could even ask the question, you were already presenting the answer.  When I started Entrepreneur Boot Camp, I literally knew NOTHING. In two months time, I am going from nothing to a full-blown business. I’m amazed and definitely wouldn’t be where I am now if I hadn’t been a part of your program.”

“Jen, I am over the moon with this course and am already seeing significant growth, focus, and new energy in my business. It was like you gave me the “Coles Notes” version of everything I needed to know in order to take my business to the next level.  Your experience, honesty, energy and real world attitude saved me hours of wasted time and research on the Internet sifting through information.”

Small businesses have a discouraging failure rate. In fact over 50% of small businesses will fail in the first five years. A major reason is that the owners start out without the right skills, information, expectations and mindsets and quickly get discouraged and worn down as they encounter one set back after another.

The same thing can happen when you head out to climb a mountain without the proper clothing and gear – there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your goal, your strength or your physical endurance, you simply didn’t plan ahead well enough to support you getting to your goal. This can cause many mountain climbers to turn back and many small businesses to fail.

If you really want to help your business succeed with less struggle and more ease, it’s important to invest in getting the right information without having to waste your time or spend hours and hours researching. I created Entrepreneur Boot Camp for Women to give you the “Coles Notes” on all of the important things you need to know about, ultimately helping you fast track your business and decrease the trial-and-error rate.

I can say with no BS, this class has changed my business. No more floundering, no more “monkey business”!I now have a clear view of where I want to go and what I need to. I’m a busy mom with 2 kids under 3 years old. I didn’t have the time to do all this leg-work! My self and my business cannot thank you enough for creating this!

Want to know my story?

I became a coach because I love working with people helping them create amazing lives and what I didn’t know when I started this whole journey was that I was becoming an entrepreneur too. I truly just thought I could have a website (html at that) that talked about what I did and who I helped and I’d have a waiting list a mile long. I had no idea what “building a list” meant, had no way to build community, I only had the one service I provided (coaching) at one price point as an offer, and I really didn’t think I’d actually have to market myself.

My business did not start off well. At first I thought there was something wrong with me – if there were all of these other coaches out there who were super successful then clearly I wasn’t doing something right. I got really down on myself and the idea of being an entrepreneur and almost gave up. And then I realized that I simply didn’t know all of the business pieces I needed to know. That’s all.

I then spent every waking moment on the internet surfing thousands of websites, downloading hundreds of ebooks, signing up for a lot of different newsletters, and purchased $1000’s of e-products.  I spent three years learning what I needed to do to build a successful coaching business. And now I want to help you because it doesn’t need to take that long or feel as frustrating as it did for me.

FAQ’s:

Do you have a payment plan? I may consider one in exceptional circumstances. Please contact me to discuss it further.

What kind of follow up support is available afterwards? After you’ve completed the program you’re welcome to join a coaching gym/mastermind group that I created JUST for Boot Camp graduates. This group meets two times a month and is a great place to connect with other entrepreneurial women (minimum 3 month commitment).

What if I need more help after the course? Will 6 weeks be enough? If you feel like you want more personal attention after you’re done the course I’ve also created two special business-coaching packages that you can take advantage of. The first is a two call package that allows us to work through whatever specific questions you might have about what you should do in your business first and the other is a 6 call package that allows us to go deeper in your business and the entrepreneur mindset that is required for success.

What if I don’t know what my business is yet? That’s OK.

Does it matter if I don’t have a website? No, not at all. In fact I’ll walk you through all of the different things you need to do to get a website for your business set up (and connect you with people who I think are super helpful)

What kind of entrepreneurs is this program best suited for? This program is perfect for solo-entrepreneurs who have some type of service delivery business  (ie. coaches, therapists, graphic designers, healing professionals, dog walkers…that kinda thing).

Are there any type of businesses you can’t help with? This program isn’t a good fit if you have a brick and mortar business but if you are an entrepreneur and have the desire to have a better online presence and create multiple streams of income then you’ll get a lot out of this program.

Can I share this with my business partner ? If you have a business partner I’m more than happy for you to share this program with them – it will be helpful for both of you to be on the same page, learning the same info so you can talk about it together.
