I’m now a few months out of the program and I can’t even quantify the impact that it has had on the direction of my business. I’ve had a wellness-focused personal chef business locally for almost 5 years, and I knew I wanted to scale to help more people cook and eat well than I could one-on-one. I knew I should be doing things like “growing a following” and “creating an opt-in” but I really didn’t understand how these pieces fit together or how specifically they would generate revenue. Amanda explained so simply how an online business actually works and which pieces you need to have in place first. I’m actually having fun putting the pieces and programs together because I have a crew in my corner telling me right off the bat if something is good or bad so I don’t feel dread or hesitation that comes with being uncertain. Since the program, I’ve organically grown my email list from about 100 people that I had never emailed once (I know, I’m the WORST) to now about 300 people that I email weekly with information that they’ve told me I want to hear! I used her target market research strategy to understand my audience and craft an opt-in. In January I plan to launch a beta paid online program designed just for them. Amanda herself is knowledgeable and extremely generous. I feel like she is genuinely invested in my success and helps me stay on task. Although, the program is not focused on technology and specific implementation, I’ve found Amanda and the community to also be a great resource on what digital tools to use and how to use video, email marketing, and design tools (aka the bane of my existence.) Amanda’s a total tech geek whether she’s willing to admit it or not. Huge help for all us wellness hippies. I feel confident that I’m now at the stage where I “know enough” and can just implement for months.

Since working with Amanda I have so much more confidence in my website. I’ve had a number of people sign up to my email list, and I’m excited to make online a bigger part of my business strategy!
