What will you learn?
We start with a 1:1 interaction. The goal of this interaction is to understand where you currently stand, what your goals are, and how we can make sure this program will be nothing but success for you.
You are your brand! We start with Finding your niche, nailing down your target audience and value proposition. At the end of the week, you know exactly which message you want to convey to the world.
This week we focus on how you can create the right content without spending endless hours on it. And how to efficiently remix and distribute your content across different platforms.

This week we meet other creators and learn the methods and tips to validate a product. Learn how to monetize your product to onboard your first customers.
Running an online business comes with its own set of challenges. This week, dive into advanced aspects of running your business through KPIs and god-metrics.

In the design of life, I casually have a conversation with my higher self. It is precisely how your mentorship feels to me. I have started believing more in the process, worrying less about the outcome. Additionally, just as I perceive you, I would love to achieve the mindset of staying calm and keeping going on. Thank you, and looking forward to more.
