Program Structure
Flexible Enrollment Duration
The Jump Start Your Journey program is designed to help you explore the foundations of independent practice at your own pace. Ideally, the program can be completed in 2-4 months, but I understand that life can be unpredictable. You’ll have access to the program for up to 6 months, giving you ample time to explore, learn, and complete the coursework.
60-Minute Individual Consultation
Your enrollment includes a total of 60 minutes of individual consultation, which can be used as two 30-minute sessions or a single 60-minute session at any point during the 6-month program. These sessions provide personalized support to address your specific needs, whether it’s refining your vision, navigating legal or financial concerns, or planning your next steps. This tailored guidance is designed to help you confidently move forward.
Time Commitment & Expectations
The program requires about 20-30 hours to complete, including course materials and assignments. The pace is entirely up to you, and I recommend scheduling regular time to work through the course. You’ll have access to expert guidance and support to help you stay on track (and we’ll assist with keeping you motivated too!).
Ongoing Support - Anytime You Need It
This program doesn’t leave you to figure things out alone. With direct email support, you can ask questions and get thoughtful, personalized responses as you work through each part of the program. Whether you're feeling stuck, need clarification, or just want to double-check that you're on the right track, help is just an email away.
You don’t have to wait for a scheduled session or post in a forum—support is available on your schedule, when you need it most.
