Is it for you?

The pilot is small on purpose. Here's who it fits and what it asks of you.

Who it fits

Owners at any stage: an idea you haven't started, just launched, early revenue, established, or turning things around. Your track is set to where you are.

You finish with an operating plan for your business that you built, tested and can defend at your final presentation.

What it asks of you

  • Tuesdays, January 5 to March 23. The first and last sessions are in person; the rest are on Zoom.
  • 3 to 5 hours a week, most of it in your own business.
  • To complete the program, attend at least 8 of the 10 weekly sessions and give your final presentation.
How it works

You move ahead by showing what you did.

Every week has the same rhythm: a short lesson, practice on your own business, one real action that week, and proof of what happened. If something doesn't land, we fix that one piece and keep going. Nobody repeats a week. "Not yet" is a timeline, not a verdict.

Ten weeks, ten skills

Session zero on January 5 sets your baseline. Then one skill a week.

  2. 2. Drive Jan 19
