About the Business Foundations Program - Coaching For Creative Businesses

The program’s anchor (!!) is the reading materials (we call resources) for our business training which set the tone for the week ahead. Paired with the resources are assignments that help you create systems to tailor to your creative business.

Tailored systems are what make this one of the best courses for small business owners out there!

Interaction is key so Sarah will be available for office hours as part of this online business training (an hour where you can hop on a zoom conference and ask any question you’d like) as well as a facilitated group call where you can connect with other participants and learn from their experiences with the program materials.

Finally, we want to make sure you’re getting everything you need to succeed, so Sarah and her assistants are easy to access via email.

To participate in the online business training program we require you to submit your information for an application. We will be in touch to schedule a quick phone call to talk about your application and the program.

More About you & Our Program

So far you’ve figured this business thing out on your own: You’re still working as a solo entrepreneur, and that is great!

Maybe you have one or two people helping or want to grow at some point but mostly, you’re on your own and you like it.

Things have been working but some days you feel like you’re not seeing the big picture, spinning your wheels, and you don’t want to feel so alone anymore.

We know you very well: Maybe better than you know yourself. Helping small creative businesses build a strong foundation is nothing new for us.

With hundreds of businesses having passed through Anchor & Orbit’s programs, we’ve seen all of the ups and downs. You’re all unique and no one problem is the same … but our experience gives us context and a depth of knowledge.

This helps you strengthen the weak spots of your business: The program is a compilation of all the learnings we have gathered over the years, relayed via video, writing, and assignments.

Throughout our time we monitor your work and meet with you in group and 1:1 settings to make sure you’re applying the concepts in the best way possible.

So, why did our alumni thrive when they work with Anchor & Orbit? Our past participants consistently tell us that the program changed how they feel about their business for the better: “Relief.” “Happiness.” “Confidence.” “Stability & clarity.” “Worth every penny.”

The Anchor & Orbit program gave me the chance to step back and reevaluate my choices while returning to the core motivational factors for starting and running my own business. I gained much-needed tools to navigate my business growth, both financially and logistically. Sarah is a fairy godmother with a precise and wise touch.

A NOTE:

Your results from our program may vary from other students (in fact, the results should vary because there are no generic people with generic results.) Your immediate and long-term results will be based on many variables, such as your level of effort, past experiences, personal qualities, knowledge, skills, time invested post-program and a host of other factors.

Since these factors differ for each individual, we cannot guarantee your success (however you define it) or results, nor are we responsible for your success or failure. We believe the best results come from taking complete ownership of the materials while communicating openly with your facilitators. This program takes time, effort, dedication, and communication.

We believe we have provided you the tools to achieve your desired results.
