The How to Begin Course

There’s something that you want to do. Or change.
But you’re not sure where to start

Or maybe you’ve gotten started,
But now you’ve stalled, or gotten stuck

Either way, that “something” isn’t going away
So the question is, what now?

You could hire a coach. 

You could search for Youtube channels or Facebook groups where people are going through something similar. 

You could rally loved ones to cheer you on or listen as you talk things through. 

Those are all great ideas. 

And there’s something else you might want to try … 

It’s called the How to Begin Course


And in it you are coached step-by-step through a proven process to get clear, committed, and taking manageable action (that sticks) towards *whatever* it is you want.

(For less than you’d pay for an hour of coaching)

Say no more, I’m in.

We made this course for you if:

  • You’ve had something on your to-do list forever. You want some help fully committing to it, and scaling it to your full life so you don’t get overwhelmed. Or … 
  • You’re feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or a bit bored. You know you want something different or something more, and you want some help figuring out what that is. Or …
  • You’re in transition. There are choices to be made about where to put your time and energy next, and you want some tools to help you make those choices and feel good about them. Or …
  • You’re working on something important, but it’s stalled. You want help restarting and preparing for when life tries to stall this project again.
Yup. That’s me. Where do I sign up?
