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.

Google is really good at providing answers if you know what questions to ask. What if all you know is
"I need help"? Brand Opening will kick off with our signature business & brand audit with Praise, a solopreneur with 9+ years experience of running her own business. You'll then make a plan, to solidify your goals and where you should focus your time. No more hamster wheel spinning for you!
once you know where you actually need to focus your time on, our workflows, templates, and systems will help you maximize your time and resources so that you can focus on what's important.
getting your work out there is the hurdle that we want to help you overcome. The fear of hitting "publish" holds back many great business that the world truly needs. During our 3-month program, we will give you tools and community to finally launch your MVP.
create your marketing strategy
refine your systems of operations
up-level your finances

ideate educational programs
practice your pitch and introduction
Every participant will work with Praise to tailor this experience but here a taste of what you can work on together:
excited about my brand
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.

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:
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.
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.
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).
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.

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.

Building off the brand foundations and brand strategy you've worked on during Brand Opening, Praise invites you to the studio for getting photos to power your brand expression.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
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.
05
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 has created a space where you can learn to have healthy ambition. I truly enjoyed being apart of this group. The things that I have learned will definitely stick with me forever!
Praise is not only a master of her art - she is also an absolute joy to work with! She is everything that you should be looking for in a teacher: empathetic, patient, and talented. It's been a real privilege learning from her.
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.
