Forget homeschooling – why you need to enrol in our new Business Foundation School!

Are you over trying to help your child learn at home? Find out why you should enrol in our brand new Business Foundation School.

One of our favourite quotes is from George Elliott: “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” And it’s in this spirit that this month we’ve opened the doors to our brand new Business Foundation School.

Why do we need a Business Foundation School?

The idea behind the Business Foundation School is based on seven years of working out how to shape a successful business ourselves (and how to earn money from it!), and showing other freelancers and small business owners how to do the same.

After working with hundreds of entrepreneurs, we’ve realised that there are some core (and understandable) mistakes that we all make when we start out. Yes, us too.

These mistakes are easy to correct when you know you’re making them AND have the right guidance. But they”re not always easy to identify and fix on your own.

Indeed, from experience, it’s almost impossible to work out where you’re going wrong if your business feels hard. You know that something isn’t right, but are not quite sure what.

This is when we often fall for quick fixes and fashionable tactics. We assume it’s because we’re not posting daily Instagram stories. Or we’re not using chatbots.

But the reality is that you probably just haven’t got the basic foundations of your business quite right. And until you fix these, all the latest fads, or mindset overhauls in the world won’t work.

Enter the Business Foundation School.

How does the Business Foundation School work?

The Business Foundation School is a carefully curated collection of masterclasses and workbooks that enable you to make targeted changes to your business every month.

It covers 12 key areas – from planning and pricing to sales funnel, SEO and, yes, even mindset. These are all things that we know small businesses and freelancers struggle with, and that are stopping them from earning the money they want (and deserve for the time they’re putting in).

They’re also stopping them from ENJOYING running their business. Because there’s nothing fun about labouring for long hours and struggling to bring in sales. Or being forced to lower your prices again because no one is buying.

What IS fun is confidently knowing what you need to tweak in your business to deliver the results you want, and getting them.

It’s fun charging what you’re worth. It’s fun getting notifications of sales. And it’s fun feeling in control.

And these are all things that the Business Foundation School is designed to give you.
