CREATING A WOMAN’S PROGRAM OF YOUR OWN
Six one-hour mentoring sessions with Karen Ely
Are you yearning to start something similar to A Woman’s Way and wonder where to begin? How long will it take? How much will it cost? Will I need to do a business plan? Should I have partners? How will I market my business? Do I have the skills to create and manage my own business?
My journey, since founding A Woman’s Way in 2003, has been exhilarating, bumpy, frightening, rewarding and costly. I believe in sharing whatever I know in the hopes that I can take some of the bumps and unwelcome surprises out of your journey. I want you to succeed and the women who will come to your programs need you to succeed as well.
If you’re interested in starting your own women’s program, then join me for a series of six one-on-one mentoring sessions (one each month for six months) designed to midwife your dream into a reality. During our six months together you’ll learn about:
• Creating a comprehensive business plan
• Registering your business
• Raising start-up capital
• Creating the nuts and bolts: building a database, researching insurance, designing and marketing your website
• Designing a marketing plan
• Attracting participants
• And also having fun with the process!
Because other women's support, wisdom and guidance were integral to my healing and growth, I founded A Woman's Way in 2003. Since its inception, A Woman’s Way has provided thousands of women with support, guidance, and tools and been a vital resource in their search for lives of meaning, passion and joy. I am also the author of three well-received self-published books: Daring to Dream: Reflections on the Year I Found Myself published in 2006, which chronicles the end of my 32-year marriage, A Retreat of My Own, a women’s personal retreat guide published in 2008, and Breathing Space: Mini-Retreats for the Heart & Soul published in 2011.
