Module One: Is this for Me?
This first module invites you to take the time to reflect on where your experiences have led you, what you really want in your next steps forward and to start imagining how that could grow into a business that fits your life and values. The aim is to define your purpose, identify what it is that you offer, and being an educator, explore how you can help people in the most meaningful ways. This is about building your business with intention.
