I was frustrated
and stuck too

I had been running my business for years and felt like I was just winging it. I felt confused about my finances. I didn't know how to raise my prices. I had pieced together knowledge from things I've googled and podcasts I listened too but I didn't even know how to accurately diagnose why I felt bleh about what I was doing. I wanted to love my business, I wanted it to serve the world, and I wanted to be proud of it.

Having a safe space to share my confusion and then be given not just emotional support but also practical tools that made me feel empowered and with a clear sense of direction was life changing. After I invested in coaching, my business revenue multiplied 2.5x. And more importantly, I had a clear sense of direction of how I wanted to lead it.

so I invested in coaching

transformation is right around the corner for you too.

your dream come to life

During Brand Opening, Praise and your mastermind cohort will help you:

My big aha moment was working 1-on-1 with Praise to hash out my program outline, going through step by step, what my client’s journey would look like. She helped me think about things I hadn’t thought of before. She taught me to get over my perfection and to roll it out messy. And look where we are, I signed my first client! It feels surreal finally living out this dream I’ve had.

CASE STUDY
Desiree z.
music consultant

I professionally help others build their brands but working on my own brand felt daunting. But once I was going through the homework it got me super excited. Through that process it got me really to hone in on what I wanted my business to reflect. The way Praise had us think about it on a personal level made it way easier to go back to.

the brand opening method

Getting curious about yourself (your own gifts, purpose, and strengths,) who your audience is, and who your community of fellow personal brands and collaborators. We'll go through your Business & Brand Audit, your personal purpose, and how to speak to your target audience and how to collaborate with others in your industry. We will also lay the foundation for a healthy mindset.

Inspired by my background as an actress, our signature Brand Opening Method uses the analogy of a theater's opening night to launch your brands:

PHASE ONE:
Behind The Scenes

Figuring out what kind of problem you want to solve in the world. And what your MVP (minimum viable product [or service]) will be to solve it. We'll go over your business strategy and model that accomplishes your MVP and speaks to your target audience. For those who already have a business we will find how to increase your prices and increase your income streams.

PHASE TWO:
Dress Rehearsal

Now it gets to be more outward facing: you decide on your brand pillars, the look & feel of your brand visuals, and we will create your brand guide.

PHASE THREE:
On Stage

We will now figure out your offerings & pricing (with a robust look at your financial plans and goals) and how that intersects with your overall marketing strategy (with a special look on building your thought leadership).

PHASE FOUR: Opening Night

How do we keep your audience coming back? It’s through a great customer brand experience (customer service) and sustainable systems. During this phase we'll equip you with the tools, templates, and tricks for creating a business that fits into your personal life AND serves your audience in outstanding ways.

PHASE FIVE:

Why do you need a Brand Opening? Because google-ing answers can only get you so far. I was there before too. Starting out there are so many unknowns. Did I figure out some things on my own through experience and making mistakes? For sure! Could I have saved time, money, and stress by asking for help? Definitely.

I learned so much from other entrepreneurs, coaches, and educators who have invested in me. I wanted to tailor an experience for you that combines a mastermind with a course with 1-on-1 coaching. I know during our time together we can exponentially grow that dream you've been brewing on. You can do it.

And we are here to equip and cheer you on.

faqs

can you guarantee results?

Once we sort through the applications, we will invite those who we think will benefit most from this program. However, we ask participants in Brand Opening to also commit to the program. We have seen committed participants increase their profits and love the lifestyle they have created. BUT we want you to feel the most satisfied. If within three weeks you prove you have done the course work and aren't satisfied, we will refund you.

can I talk to a past participant about their experience?

You can absolutely. Please put that on your application and will connect you. Additionally, you can check out our reviews on Google and Yelp to see that we operate our business with care and integrity.

what makes this program different from others?

We've tried one-on-one coaching, big brand courses, masterminds, and more (including a disappointing time at the SBA) and they missed a lot of empathy and humor. Plus, you will get to shape the course as we bring in guest speakers around your desired topics.

Is the program only for women?

At ComePlum it is our mission to impact 10,000 to live into their life's purpose. The content we share is applicable to any and all genders! Any human aligned with our mission is invited to apply.

Can I miss a few calls?

With coaching, you get as much as you put it. Because we want to see transformation, we ask attendees not miss more than three calls during our time together but we understand that life's unexpected situations happen but we then ask participants to adjust their expectation for transformation accordingly.

For my new income stream, Praise made sure that we laid a strong foundation and that was something that even in my current business, I have really never done before. it made me feel more confident going through the process.It's really amazing how you just feel better about what you're doing when everything fits together.
Now my new income stream looks great and feels great. Everything is in place.

Praise leads with joy and is so good at getting you to take action in a short block of time. I walked away every day with something new to implement into my personal brand.

about your coacH

When I first started my business, I went to the Small Business Administrations office hopeful to get resources to start a thriving business. They assigned me a coach who looked over my business plan. The coach flipped though my 6-page presentation and all he responded was, "Ok now it looks like you have to go find customers."
I looked back in shock.
hello sir that is why I'm here!
There was no resourcing.
No empathy.
No feedback.
No telling how to do this ginormous task.
Just an obvious statement of fact.
I left that office feeling more alone than when I walked in.
I determined to not only find out how to thrive in my business BUT ALSO to change culture so that you don't feel unsupported.

By sharing encouragement, empathy, (I've made a lot of mistakes) and resources (but I always figured out how to get it done!), I'm here to help you transform from dreamer to doer. I believe when you are resourced, confident, and inspired, you will cause your community to flourish.
If you want a guide to help you feel proud and aligned with your business, I’m your girl.
