About this Event

Imagine your life a year from now
Imagine waking up on a Monday morning and instead of heading to a job that drains you, you are working on your own terms. Imagine the feeling of seeing your first ever sale notification pop up on your phone. Think about the pride you will feel when you tell people what you do and you finally have a real business to show them.

Starting a business is about more than just money. It is about the freedom to choose your own hours and the space to be your own boss. It is about finally giving your ideas the room to grow into something that changes your life and helps others.

The Reality Today
We have all been there. You have a brilliant business idea. You talk about it with your friends and you might even have a name picked out.

But then Monday morning arrives. The daily job takes over and the next steps feel like a mountain you cannot climb. Your idea goes back on the shelf for another year.

The truth is that most great ideas stay as just ideas. It is not because the vision was wrong, but because the first step felt too big to take.

What You Will Gain
We have created this masterclass because we don't want to see great ideas stay stuck in notebooks. We have stripped away the fancy business talk to give you the two things every new founder actually needs.

Build with Confidence
Farah Egby is an expert in making things happen fast. She will show you how to strip your idea back to the essentials so you can launch a simple version of your business right away. You will learn how to get real-world feedback without spending months on a complicated setup.

Marketing with Impact
Gauher Jaan is an expert in communicating the right message to the right people. She will show you how to find the people who are actually looking for what you offer. You will learn the steps to tell your story so that strangers turn into customers.

The Morning After Promise
You will not leave with just a pat on the back. You will leave with a clear, bite-sized plan for your business. You will know exactly what to prioritise first. Most importantly, you will know exactly what you need to do at 9.00 AM the next morning.

Who is this for
This is perfect for professionals with a side project stuck in their head. If you need a plan that actually fits into your busy life then this is for you. Join us and move from dreamer to founder.

Notes
We would love to keep you updated on our future events. By booking a ticket you will be added to Gauher and Farah's mailing lists. You can of course unsubscribe at any time if you change your mind.
We will be taking photos and videos during the evening to share the energy of the event. If you would prefer not to be in them just let us know when you arrive and we will make sure to respect your space.
