SETTING UP SHOP

Foundational Business Mastery for New Entrepreneurs

You started your business because you’re great at what you do. But no one told you about all the other hats you have to wear to make everything work. At this point, you don’t need help scaling, or reaching your first 6-figure month! You just need to understand the basics! That's where Setting Up Shop comes in!

What is Setting Up Shop?

One of the biggest gaps in advice for business owners? It’s not the lack of options - it’s the lack of clarity. Too often, people are told what they should do without being guided on how to make it work for their unique situation or even why it matters. That’s where we step in.

At Setting Up Shop, we don’t just give you a list of “shoulds.” Instead, we walk you through the questions you need to ask to make informed decisions for your business. It is a place where you can find information, inspiration and insights to help you build a solid foundation for your business.

We go right back to basics and focus on the things you need in the early stages of your entrepreneurial journey. We help you cut through the jargon, make better-informed decisions and start building connections with like-minded entrepreneurs.
