Questions

Frequently asked

Is six weeks really enough?
It's enough to validate, set up and start. The goal is momentum and a working plan — not a finished empire.
What if I haven't fully decided on my idea?
Perfect timing — week one is validation, and it's far cheaper to test an idea now than after you've committed.
What does it cost?
Fixed program pricing with payment options — provided at your discovery conversation.
