Three tailored journeys, one powerful mission
This is not a one-size-fits-all programme. We’ve created three distinct tracks depending on where you are in your business journey:
For ambitious young women aged 18–30
Ideal for those full of ideas and ready to shape their future with confidence and clarity. You’ll be supported to build your path, find your voice, and launch something meaningful.
For start-ups and pre-launch businesses
You’ve got the vision. Now it’s time to take action. This track helps you develop your brand, structure your services, and build a sustainable business from the ground up.
For established rural businesses
You’ve built something solid, but you’re ready to elevate. This journey focuses on strategy, visibility, streamlining, and scaling—with the support, insight, and innovation you need to grow.
What’s included in your 12-month transformation
We’ve designed a high-touch, high-support experience that combines strategy, accountability, and wellbeing.
