WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
—Sue Krizman, Blue Bee Studios
"It’s hard to express the biggest change! I now have a network that I firmly believe will cheer me on through every step of my journey. The group gave me the tools and confidence to transform my business and myself."
—Kathleen Atkinson, Pippa & I
"It was comforting to know I had others to lean on who understood the challenges of running a business. The group kept me accountable week after week and gave me the confidence to take bolder steps forward."
Momentum Makers isn’t your average business “course.”
Nope. It’s a small group of real people who help transform your dream of a business into reality through coaching and actionable steps.
Here, we set aside the common “watch content to learn” format and embrace small coaching groups where you can process, get feedback, make decisions, and implement.
We’ll take you from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of your next steps to confidently building a business you’re proud of—one that reflects your value, takes up space in the world, and brings your vision to life.
By the end of Momentum Makers, you won’t just have ideas—you’ll have a real business with a solid foundation, ready to grow and make an impact.
Coaching meets you where you are and moves you to the next step.
We’re as close to a real life community as you can get online!
How does coaching help?
Here’s how Small Groups Make a Big Difference
You might know what you're supposed to do, but figuring out how—on your own—can feel overwhelming and intimidating.
A real-life group of supportive peers and a caring mentor doesn’t just give you advice—it gives you the confidence to act. You stop second-guessing your choices, wondering if they’re good ideas or the right moves. Instead, you get clarity, accountability, and confidence to tackle hard things.
Together, you’ll implement the steps you’ve hesitated to take. You act. You do. You implement.
-
Feel supported as your small group mentor facilitates a space for you to share, get feedback, process your options, and implement your plan.
Momentum Makers has an incredible team of small-group mentors who know exactly what it’s like to tackle the foundations of business and they‘re ready to help you bring your dream to life.
-
We’re truly as close to real life as it gets online.
Work with a small group of others who are moving through the same projects and tasks as you. Get feedback, encouragement, and accountability to build your business foundations in a community that knows you and can help you make decisions and move ahead.
You choose your small group day and time and meet with your group every other week during Momentum Makers. All your calls will be recorded in case you miss a session.
-
Every Live workshop with Colleen will wrap up with a Live Q&A. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, get clarifications, and walk away with your checklist ready to implement your project!
-
Confidently tackle all the foundational projects to bring your online business to life. Project checklists make it easy for you to know what to do to complete each project.

MEET YOUR COACH
I’m Colleen, Your Business Coach, Surface Designer, and Experienced Mentor
I’ve been where you are...
When I first dreamed of building a business I loved, I had no idea where to begin. I was overwhelmed by all the moving pieces and unsure of what steps to take first. What if I did something wrong?
But then I decided, “It’s time to stop waiting and start building something that aligns with the life I want to live.
That was my starting point—no roadmap, no experience, just a determination to figure it out one step at a time and take care of myself and my family.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve built a thriving coaching business, mentored others across three continents, and helped countless students not only build their businesses but pursue lives of balance, joy, and purpose along the way.
The journey to building a business you love is full of challenges—uncertainty, fear, and moments of doubt. I know that struggle well.
But here’s the thing: if you don’t take that first step, nothing will change.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from over 20 years of coaching others and my own business-building journey and packaged it into a supportive, actionable program designed to help you bring your business to life, scale it, and thrive.

If you have an offer but need help getting it off the ground and scaling, Momentum is the perfect fit for you. If you are pretty close to nailing down your business idea, it’s also a great fit! If you have no idea what you want to offer yet, it would be best to wait.
