Let's break down
the course structure
Please move the toggle below to the left to see all the modules included in RFS1 (Get Fired Up) or to the right to see everything included in RFS2 (Turn Up The Heat).

RFS1 Module 1: Take action and test your idea
Validate your vegan cooking class idea by taking real, practical steps. You’ll run a targeted survey to gauge interest, aiming for 20 to 100 responses, and get at least 20 people to take action based on your request. By the end of this module, you’ll have a clear sense of whether people are interested in your classes.

RFS1 Module 2: Set the stage and stay the course
In this module, you’ll set your class dates, create a simple way for people to buy tickets, and put a refund policy in place. This module also helps you navigate common struggles, reflect on your progress, and use your insights to guide your next steps.

RFS1 Module 3: Demystifying Marketing
Take the guesswork out of your marketing strategies and stop pouring your energy into efforts that don’t get you customers. We’ll establish the four cornerstones of your marketing approach so you can have a focused, purposeful plan from start to finish.

RFS1 Module 4: Leverage what you've learned
Now it’s time to shift from testing to scaling. You’ll use your growing confidence and data to launch and sell a third class, this time supported by your broader marketing efforts. With more experience and a clearer plan, you’ll be ready to grow your business with intention and impact.

RFS2 Module 1: Taking Care of your customers, yourself, and your biz
Before you scale, you need a solid foundation. In this module, you’ll revisit the core of your business, your customers, your wellbeing, and your systems. You'll learn how to maintain high-quality service as you grow, set boundaries to protect your energy, and strengthen the back end of your business to support long-term success.

RFS2 Module 2: Securing Your Future – Embracing a Plan and the Financials
Growth without a plan can lead to burnout. In this module, you’ll create a sustainable roadmap for your business by getting clear on your financial goals, pricing strategies, and profit potential. You’ll learn how to make informed decisions, set income targets, and build a business model that supports both your lifestyle and your long-term vision.

RFS2 Module 3: Backend organization
Behind every thriving business is a strong, organized backend. In this module, you’ll streamline your systems, tools, and workflows to support your growth. From managing customer data to automating your business, you’ll set up efficient processes that save time, reduce stress, and keep your business running smoothly.

RFS2 Module 4: Building your community
A loyal community is the heart of a successful business. In this module, you’ll learn how to deepen connections with your audience and create a supportive community that makes entrepreneurship less lonely.
