Fact:
The first 90 days can make or break your business.
(No pressure)
In any business, stakes are high. As a corporate professional leaving a lucrative career to navigate the world of entrepreneurship the stakes are insane—But so are the rewards.
The good news is that you’re no stranger to high-stakes scenarios.
Starting a business is always a risk, but you’ve done the calculations.
The challenges ahead are unique, but you’re not the kind to back down when the going gets tough.
There’s just one tiny little thing…
You've been stalling at the starting line.
And it's starting to show.
Without a blueprint, a mentor or a network you don’t know what to do next.
Right now, you’re stuck between the job you left, the steps to take to move forward, and the business you set out to create.
And you have no idea what to do next.
There’s tons of strategies out there, but it’s tough to pick one when you can’t see the bigger picture.
You want to ask questions, but you don’t know what you don’t know.
Even worse, you don’t have anyone to ask. No mentor to lean on because all your contacts are from corporate.
But you don’t have forever to make this work, and time is running out.
And your morale is lower than ever.
Starting out, you didn’t want to make any hasty moves. So you did research.
You read everything from Rich Dad, Poor Dad to The 40-Hour Workweek.
Your YouTube history reveals hours of webinars and interviews.
At this point, you know more about Tony Robbins than the average human.
But now it’s clear you got caught up in the research, and fell behind on actually implementing everything you’ve gathered.
In other words, you made the runway too long—and now you’re struggling to take flight.
It’s becoming clear that you’ve set unrealistic expectations.
When you set out on this new path, you had high expectations. They’re the same ones you’ve had your whole life.
But you’ve underestimated how long everything takes, and overestimated how quickly you could conquer the learning curve of entrepreneurship.
To be as productive as possible, you stuff your to-do list full of tasks until you’re scribbling extra items in the margins.
But something that should take minutes ends up taking hours, suddenly the day is over, and that list never gets any shorter.
You know how they say money doesn’t grow on trees?
Well, when you quit your stable, high-paying job to start a business from nothing, this feels especially true.
Even if you bulked up your savings account before starting out, every dollar holds more weight than it did before.
So when you invest in a course, new software, or a coaching program that results in zero ROI, the loss cuts deep into your bank account.
And the regret cuts deep into your soul.
In this brand new world, you don’t even know Who you are anymore.
For the last 10-15 years of your career, you know exactly where you fit in, how to act, and what you brought to the table.
But outside of the 9 to 5 corporate realm, the confidence that could command a room has melted into insecure uncertainty.
You’re starting at the bottom rung once again.
The rules are all different, and there’s no instruction manual in sight.
Even just finding a network you can click with is hard.
These days when you look in the mirror, a stranger stares back, asking “Do I even belong here?”
And it’s giving you major anxiety.
Right now, quitting your job has put on a strain on your finances, your relationships and even your sleep schedule.
Everyone around you thinks you’re crazy for leaving the stability, pay and prestige of corporate.
You’re starting to think they were right.
While LinkedIn may be calling your name, the last thing you want anyone to say is, “I told you so.”
These are all symptoms of a much, much bigger issue.
You’re lacking the #1 thing a business owner needs to ensure success.
Clarity [klar-i-tee]:
clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from indistinctness or ambiguity.
Meet The CEO
Executive Business Coach, Growth Strategist, Business Consultant
My name is Valerie, and I’ve experienced the best of both worlds.
For 25+ years, I built a successful corporate career at a Fortune Top 50 company as a Senior Sales Leader, where I grew to manage a portfolio valued at over $1B.
I thrived in my corporate career, and I absolutely loved it.
But eventually it was time for me to move onto the next chapter of my life.
I wanted to take on something bigger, more ambitious, and of course—more challenging.
I knew the sense of fulfillment, freedom, and sense of purpose that comes from building your own company.
And I wanted to experience the financial impact that comes with growing a thriving business, making your own decisions, and forging your own path.
Today, I use my expertise and 25+ years of expertise as a growth strategist to help start-ups create growing, profitable and thriving businesses.
Because I’ve been on this journey myself, I know the leap of faith it takes to shift from employee to entrepreneur. I applaud you.
And now I’m here to help you.
Through my Business Fast Start program, you’ll discover the fastest way to flatten the learning curve and navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship.
You’ll finally know how it feels to reap the benefits of using your brilliance to create something bigger than yourself.
You’ll go faster and farther, shifting the trajectory of your life and business.
Right now, you’re just one decision away from achieving a massive breakthrough in your business. This is it.
NOW INTRODUCING
Business Fast Start
A 12-Week Program To Guide Corporate Leaders Turned Visionary CEOs As They Bridge The Gap Between Start-Up and Profit Generation
You’re not the first to leave a high-salaried job to start your own business, and you certainly won’t be the last.
It might feel lonely, but the truth is that so many of us have already gone down this path. So why are you walking it all alone?
Going solo is costly, time-consuming, exhausting and frankly—demotivating.
Business Fast Start is designed to be your guide as you foray into a brand new world.
We'll walk this path together.
No pit stops, no detours, but also no short-cuts that compromise long-term success.
We’ll put in the work so that within 12 weeks you will accelerate your startup, transform your vision into a profitable income and lead your business with the clarity & confidence of a seasoned CEO.
Business Fast Start will help your business go farther and faster in just 12 weeks.
Translation: The second you enroll, it’s crunch time.
Every module, session and private coaching inside Business Fast Start was designed with one thing in mind: success.
That means every single minute is packed with value, there’s no stone left unturned, and the goal is to get you blowing past critical milestones while blowing your quarterly goals out of the water.
Time is money, and we don't waste either.
It all begins with our 3 Pillars.
Structure
Learn how to set up the structure to attract high-value clients that sign on the dotted line
Strategy
Identify the right strategies to generate consistent, profitable revenue and bring incredible opportunities into reach
Systems
Implement the right systems to support business operations so you can make money whether you're working or taking the family on a vacation to Disney
When all three are operating in perfect harmony, you’ll finally experience your Fast Start.
Fast Start [fahst stahrt]:
A phenomenon you get to experience when all areas of your business are working together to ensure it’s operational, protected, and generating revenue on-demand.
Join Business Fast Start
and here's what you'll learn—
Financial Fluency
Right now, business finances are about as interesting as nuclear physics—just the thought is enough to make you yawn (I bet you even just yawned right now).
But finances will become easy and, dare I say—interesting—when you find a way to simplify the entire process down to something you do once a month.
Inside the program, you’ll discover how to keep tabs on every dollar you generate so you’ll always know the financial standing of your business.
The Secret to Productivity
Here’s a hint: The only way to get more done is to do less “stuff”
Here’s how Business Fast Start will help:
Inside the program, you’ll trade in the traditional mile-long to-do list for an Impact List with revenue-generating tasks that move the needle every single day.
The Decision Matrix will show you how to confidently make every choice business throws your way.
And finally, the Daily Focus Formula will help you slip into a productive, focused mindset every morning so you can go to bed every night feeling proud of how much you accomplished.
Tactics VS Strategies
If your “strategy” isn’t working, it’s because you’re focused on tactics.
Strategy is the bigger picture you need to look at first, while tactics are the small details you focus on later.
Imagine taking a road trip from NYC to Philly.
Focusing on tactics is like getting on the highway going any direction, taking right and left turns at random and hoping you’ll somehow, eventually reach Philly.
Following a strategy is pulling up Google maps and loading your road trip playlist before you start driving.
Wouldn’t you rather have the map? Me, too. Inside the program, we’re giving it to you.
How to Lead from the Front
… instead of leading from the back.
In other words, leading others by following orders from someone higher up.
Because when you’re the CEO, there are no higher-ups.
Discover how to be the decision-maker in your business and be confident in your next move so you can serve more, sell more, spend less, collect faster and grow profit.
The future of your business lies with you—leave nothing up to chance.
Discover Your Revenue Rainmaker
Constantly releasing new services and offers to bring in money is exhausting and unsustainable.
Hosting huge launches right after the other will run you into the ground before the year’s end.
Inside the program, you’ll discover your Revenue Rainmaker—a single product or service that generates revenue for you, day in and day out.
It’s consistent.
It’s repeatable.
And it’s much, much easier.
Adopt the Confident CEO Mentality
Going from a corporate leader to fully independent business owner is a full 180 degree transformation—and your mindset must reflect that.
Because you’re not just the owner of your business. You’re the CEO.
Business Fast Start gives you the skills, training and 1:1 support you need to lead with clarity and confidence, while helping you transition into your new role.
Stop editing your resume.
Log out of LinkedIn.
Because when you join the Business Fast Start Program, this is what can happen:
Confidence is key, and opportunity is a door. There’s no better way to boost your confidence than to build a successful business from the ground up, and transform it into a thriving enterprise. Everything inside of this program will give you what you need to transition into a leader with the passion, vision and skills to make this come true—and open you up to a world of new possibilities
Making money is great. Making consistent, sustainable, & predictable revenue is downright sexy. With a reliable income stream you can bank on, you can make plans for the future—like going on a bucket list vacation, investing back into your business, preparing for expansion, and multiplying every dollar you earn.
Finally experience the freedom you dreamed of when you first started out on this journey. Now, the only person who decides how far you can go, how much money you can make, how many milestones you can crush and how big of an impact you can have on the world—is you.
Take the next steps towards turning your purpose-driven business into a legacy that will serve you for years to come. Wake up everyday (alarm clock optional), lead with passion, and make a lasting impact on the communities you serve and the people you love.
Take pride in the fact that you beat the odds, disproved the naysayers, and came out on top. You accomplished something most people never will, and it’s all because you had the guts to see your dream through until it became your reality.
This is your success story.
Now here’s more...
Prior to working with Valerie, I spent the majority of my time repeatedly launching. I was exhausted, and quite frankly, barely breaking even to cover expenses… - Lisa F.
Through the Business Fast Start program, I saw the value in developing my own authentic marketing strategy... - Janet K.
Valerie helped me identify the top priorities in my business, develop a daily plan of action, and delegate tasks to free up my time. Her Daily Focus Formula completely changed how I work and drastically improved my productivity level. I start every day knowing exactly where to spend my time and how to make the biggest financial impact on my business... - Mike W.
“And Valerie is the executive business coach you want in your corner.”
Still on the fence?
Let me make this clear:
a Fast Start spells the difference between…
Experiencing the freedom, fun and flexibility of owning a business—and learning it’s even better than you imagined!
VS
Feeling worried and stressed out by your “freedom” because you have no structure, struggle with self-discipline & have family pressuring you to get a “real” job
Running a predictably profitable business that gives you a higher quality of life with plenty of leftover cash to save, invest & keep growing
VS
Struggling to pay your bills and launching programs and new products every week or month because you’re strapped for cash.
Working less than ever while earning more than ever because you’re able to accomplish all your revenue-generating tasks in just a few hours a day
VS
Being ball-and-chained to your computer and working 10+ hours everyday, without ever making a dent in your to-do list (or seeing your hard work pay off)
Find confidence in discomfort and use it to become a force to be reckoned with. Recognize that discomfort simply means there’s an opportunity—and become more capable, more focused and more likely to tackle the things in your business that will change your future.
VS
Allow discomfort to write the story of your life and business. Stay small, shy away from difficult conversations, and say “I’ll pass for now” to opportunities that challenge you to grow. Ultimately look back on your trajectory years from now and wish that you had been brave enough to venture past the front door of your comfort zone.
Becoming the CEO of a business that becomes bigger than yourself, positively impacts everyone around you and creates a powerful legacy that will live on forever
VS
Finally having no choice but to call it quits, close up shop, get a “real” job—and wondering what could’ve been had you made different decisions
