Shift

A 6-Week Accelerator To Help You Launch a New Project Into The World

Next Accelerator: Fall 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 a 6-week program 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.

Next SHIFT Accelerator: 

Fall 2020 (Dates TBA soon)


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 our time together in our virtual community, meeting on Zoom for workshops and connecting each day in Slack. We’ll have two main workshops sessions per week (held on Zoom), plus a mastermind session with a small group of support:

  • An Deep-Dive Workshop to hone in on the goals for the week and put what you’re learning into practice

  • A Group Mentorship session to dive deeper into the business tools & receive group coaching
  • A Mastermind Session where you’ll have space to ideate and move through blocks with the help of your group

In between main sessions, you'll have virtual deep focus work sessions and periodic check-ins to keep everyone on track.

And of course, you'll have the chance to bond with your fellow SHIFTers outside of just work time!

What Will I Learn?

Our 6 weeks together are 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.


Weeks 1-2: 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. 


Weeks 2-3: 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. 


Weeks 3-4: 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!

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!
