Want to know how to grow your business and boost your income, without it eating into your time? With a program that your clients can follow independently. And practical tools to help you develop a successful online business.

You’ll learn how to create a high-quality coaching program that your clients can follow independently online, wherever and whenever they like: at home, indoors or on holiday, for example. 

You’ll also learn how to make smart use of this program: how to market it and increase visibility, what price to attach to it, how to find clients.
