Shift
A 4-Week Accelerator To Help You Launch a New Project Into The World
June 8 - July 3, 2020
There is power in shift.
Are you flowing in your life and business – creating new projects, taking action, putting your passions out into the world even before you feel “ready?” This is the way of the successful creator and entrepreneur – a learned skill that forms the basis of our brand new SHIFT Accelerator.
The power in the SHIFT Accelerator comes in mastering the muscle of ideating, creating, and launching – and doing so with an unshakeable mindset, in a rock-solid community that’s got your back and is here to see you succeed.
SHIFT is an accelerator unlike any other – designed to help you create and launch a new project into the world in just 4 weeks. If you’ve been feeling the urge to bring something new into the world – whether that’s a side hustle, a new project in your business, or explore a new creative venture altogether – think of SHIFT as your catalyst. Together in this month-long creative incubator we’ll simultaneously bring our new projects into the world while growing together in our lives and businesses.
You may ask: How can we keep surrounding ourselves with these amazing humans in a time when travel is not an option?
The answer: A powerful, virtual space for SHIFT.
An Integrative Approach to Your Big SHIFT
The month-long experience will guide you on a journey through four key steps in developing your project – from both the mindset and business standpoints. This is a full holistic experience – weaving together self-knowledge and purpose-based work, aligned goal setting and embodied energetics with business development, marketing strategy and completing an active launch with your new project.
SHIFT Accelerator Dates:
June 8 - July 3, 2020
Who is SHIFT for?
The SHIFT Accelerator is for you if you’ve been sitting on an idea for a side hustle or new project for some time – but just haven’t gotten around to making it happen yet! Take this as your sign from the universe that it’s time to get that project into the world. :)
This is also for you if you aren’t sure yet what you want to create – but you know you need a shift in your life and business! You will learn how to quickly iterate, create, and launch a project in a highly motivated and supportive environment – not only succeeding in creating something new, but also gaining the skills you need to launch new projects in the future.
How Will It Work?
Each week, you’ll receive a video and PDF workbook to prepare you for the segment ahead.
We’ll grow over the month together in our virtual community, meeting on Zoom for workshops and connecting each day in Slack. We’ll have three main workshops sessions per week (held on Zoom):
In between main sessions, you'll have virtual deep focus work sessions and periodic check-ins to keep everyone on track.
And of course, we’ll have some fun social events to help you bond outside of just work time!
SHIFT Accelerator Structure:
We are still developing the exact schedule for the Accelerator, but as a general idea, the month will run as follows:
Monday: Checkin / Focus work session
Tuesday: Deep-Dive Workshop (10am/PST)
Wednesday: Group Mentorship Session (10am/PST)
Thursday: Mastermind Session (10am/PST)
Friday: Open / Various activities
What Will I Learn?
Our month together is structured to help you set foundations, create, market, & launch your new project into the world.
But unlike many "incubator" programs – we're not here to hustle hard – only to crash and burnout.
A sustainable business is rooted in the balance between ideation and action, mindset and embodiment, hustling and integration – and we'll take this same holistic-based approach to your new project.
You'll be guided on an integrative four-part journey weaving mindset and self-development with strategy, creation, and targeted business goals – so you'll stay inspired, motivated, and see your vision and plan through to success.
Week 1: Root Foundations
You will start out by becoming solid in the foundational structures, goals, and mindset you need to launch a successful new project, then hone in on your #1 idea. We'll take you through an aligned goal-setting process to help you get clear on your needs and desires for your 4-week project, and how this fits into a longer 6-month vision.
You'll identify your core values and explore how to weave your unique passions, strengths, and skills into a purposeful project – with plenty of creative team brainstorming! Finally, you'll clarify the systems, structures, and resources you need to bring your project to life. By the end of Week 1, you'll have your goals set and your rock-solid project narrowed in.
Week 2: Creation Flow
Once your project idea is set, it's time to harness your creative flow to start bringing it to life. You'll double down on your passions and skills, create your project's mission statement, and work through any mindset blocks around confidence and and igniting your personal power.
You’ll have the brainstorming power of the group behind you as we ignite creativity and innovation in developing our projects and bringing them from conception to reality. You'll identify who this project is for (your ideal customer) and start brainstorming the best ways to reach them. By the end of Week 2, the creation phase of your project will be in full swing and you'll be riding the momentum with the group to bring your MVP to life.
Week 3: Marketing Flame
From this clarity on your project's mission statement and ideal customer, we'll dive into the best marketing tools to help you turn your project's spark into a blaze that reaches all the right people. We'll go through authentic relationships as a business-building tool, and help you identify the best marketing channel(s) for your unique project.
We’ll bring in experts from various fields of marketing to help guide you in the most effective way to deliver your project, and you'll get direct feedback from your mentors to remove any blocks in your way. By the end of Week 3, your project will be nearly complete and you'll have a simple marketing strategy ready to put into place on launch day!
Week 4: Expand to Launch
The pinnacle of our experience brings us to that moment you share your project with the wider world! You'll learn all about the steps to an effective launch, and the mindsets and strategies to keep in place. You'll hone in on your unique voice and messaging, learn about the role of your intuition in business, and place the final touches on your MVP project. Most importantly, you'll cultivate a relationship with being "done over perfect", and build a vital muscle of seeing a new project through to completion and launch.
We'll all have a huge celebration once our projects our live, and support one another in spreading the word! Finally, you'll learn how to pivot to meet your audiences’ needs as you start to get feedback. By the end of Week 4, you will have officially MADE YOUR SHIFT!

Here's What People Have Said About Our Online Chapters:
I wanted to support the Tribe but the value of an online chapter wasn’t exactly clear to me until after the first Zoom meeting we had. I was smiling so hard the entire meeting and came off it feeling so energized... I didn’t realize that a Zoom call could bring me that much joy.
Amanda P.
I had never been on a chapter before, so I was excited – it seemed like exactly what I was looking for... just having people to talk to and keep me motivated throughout the day.... I wasn't expecting to get that community feel right away, but it was just instant.
Alyssa P.
Meet more of your Tribe
You'll meet some of the long-standing veterans, as well as several new faces. It's a great chance to get to know people you can travel with in the future!
There was a pretty interesting break-down of people... a third were WiFi Tribe staff, a third were really hardcore WiFi Tribe long-termers, and a third were new people. That's a really odd split that made a really good combination.
Andrew C
Work with great minds
The Tribe is full of talent and expertise and the new formats we've introduced make it easy for us to collaborate, share knowledge, and support each other.
Masterminds are super valuable cause you have people from all sorts of different industries, geographies, different opinions, different experiences. I think it’s a good way to share that knowledge
Kelly B
Spice up your routine
With different sessions going on every day, there's something for everyone. Join a group to hold you accountable to form good habits and show up!
There is enough going on that you can be busy if you want to be or choose to just participate in what interests you. I prefer the business-stuff but some people prefer the fun stuff.
