If you're launching an organics business or brand, this course will walk you through every essential step. 

Say no to guesswork, boost confidence, and gain clarity by having a solid, successful strategy for business development for your first 90 days and beyond.

Too many new business owners make these mistakes--do they sound familiar?

"I can do it on my own."

"There's not that much I need to know."

"I'll learn as I go."

"If I don't treat it like a business, it will just be a hobby."

"My business is too small--I'm just a solopreneur."

Fear of launching, growth and success can cripple a new business. Yes--it's exciting to launch a new brand. But if it's a launch with no impact and no future, it's really a waste of time, effort and money.

Believing you can do it on your own through "trial and error" is belittling your own dreams.

Or believing that you can save money by not investing in solid training will waste thousands of dollars in the long-run.

And many of us creative types immerse ourselves in the creative side and ignore the legal side--to the demise of our businesses!

There are consequences!!

  • Your business will lack the authority it needs to succeed.
  • Your customers will become frustrated, causing you to lose sales.
  • You'll be unable to build a strong team, leading to disastrous launches and no sustainability.
  • You'll WASTE time with trail and error (trust me, it's not worth it!)
  • You'll feel overwhelmed with the work needed to begin.
  • Your products--especially the perishables such as creams, lotions, honeys, and beverages--will end up lost because of poor planning and management.
  • You may feel bitter and alone when you realize it takes more than doing it solo
  • You may develop a great product but you suffer with inadequate processes and systems.

There is a better way!

Instead of floundering and working by "guesswork," get trained! Learn the essentials of:

  • strong pricing strategies
  • functional budgets
  • team-building basics
  • helpful money mindset
  • and setting up your company properly.

Who is this course for?

This course is especially for small and new businesses in the natural & organic product market:

  • skincare, clean beauty & cosmetics
  • botanicals & plant-based products
  • retail & wholesale
  • crafting & Etsy sellers
  • apothecary owners & herbalists
  • aromatherapists

PLUS

  • soapmakers
  • honey
  • chocolate purveyors

and people selling products at stores, farmers markets, studios, boutiques, artisan fairs, galleries, as well as operating wholesale and online accounts.

If you're starting a business that sells physical products --especially artisanal or handcrafted or batched products -- or you're launching a new product or service, this course is for you.

Mistakes can be costly!

"When I started out, I opened a small apothecary because hand-crafting herbal goods was fun. I enjoyed it! But for it to be a business and not a hobby, I quickly realized that I needed to implement systems, processes and strategies that would bring in revenue. Consistent, reliable revenue that paid my bills and then some.

This course is the result of 30 years of my multiple businesses and my learnings from launching dozens of product lines, leading seminars, hosting retreats, and delivering retail and wholesale products in the natural products industry.

Going it alone is a costly waste of time and effort. I wish I'd had this type of training when I started--a welcoming, non-judgmental training that walked me through everything I needed and helped me brainstorm so my business could be the best."
