You Don’t Have to Figure it All Out On Your Own…

  • You’ve had a successful career and now you want to start and grow your own business… you’re ready to be your own boss and create a work life that really works for you…

  • But there’s so many ideas, and so much information out there- and it feels like there is always so much to be done, especially when you still have a day job

  • It’s hard to know what to do first, how to do it and when you’ll find the time to do it all…

You’re used to being a high performing employee…

…but the shift to starting your own business requires a new way of thinking and working…

You want to create a successful and profitable business as soon as possible – without burning out or going broke along the way..

You only have so much time, and there’s a lot to be done.

You need to make sure your business is going to be viable and that the decisions you make will help create a business that supports the lifestyle you want to enjoy for the next phase of your work life.

You don’t want to waste your time or money on things that won’t help your business grow!

Even though you’re savvy, starting and growing a business means there’s A LOT of new things to learn and doing the wrong things at the wrong time can cost you time and money… not to mention take a massive toll on your sparkling sense of humour…

Trying to figure it all out on your own can be overwhelming and exhausting…

The Women in Transit coaching group helps women fast track the path to being their own boss, on their own terms.

Are you ready to join us?

You can have ideas and passion- but if the foundation of your business isn’t solid from the start, and you don’t take action, you’ll struggle to get the momentum you need to get things going or growing…

Hi, I’m Shandra. I work with women who’ve had a successful career and now want to grow a side business to be a viable future full time business.

If you want to create a ‘solo’ business you’re not alone!

Over 60% of the businesses in Australia are ‘non-employing’- meaning they have no employees other than the business owner –  that’s A LOT of women out there working alone, trying to figure it out on their own… but it doesn’t have to be that way…

Shandra Women in Transit

Starting a successful solo business has a lot of moving parts for you to work through…

2

VISION:

Where do you want your business to take you?

3

STRATEGY:

What’s the plan- how will you do it?

4

ACTION:

What are the steps you need to take right now?

You can start out with so many ideas and then waste time spinning your wheels without much progress…

WHAT YOU NEED IS A PROVEN PATHWAY TO GET YOU FROM YOUR INITIAL IDEAS TO LIVING THE DREAM…

You’ve got skills and experience…

You’ve probably got a vision and a good idea of what you want your business to be and by when you want to do it- and then ‘life’, or a crappy boss, or any number of other things get in the way of you getting started, or changes the direction you need to go…

Like Kim..

Podcast guest Kim Kerton

She’d had a successful career, but then started questioning what she wanted for the rest of her career…

She had dreams and ideas of a less stressful life, one that was busy, but fulfilling instead of busy and stressful and soul crushing…

She had planned to give herself time- maybe a year, or so- to make a plan before she left her ‘well paying’, ‘aspirational’ and ‘secure’ job…

Instead, after one too many long days and unreasonable demands, she’d had enough and resigned. Without a plan.

 

In that moment she was both exhilarated and a little terrified.

Then she did a coaching program with me to help fast track her results- she didn’t try to do it all alone.

 

Most women starting a business don’t have people around them who run their own business- which means their friends and family can’t help them with the challenges they’re going through…

Kim was able to get really clear on what she wanted for the next phase of her work life, what she had to learn, test and do… Because of that, she started her business a lot sooner than she had originally thought- in the middle of Covid.

 

Was it all smooth sailing for Kim?

Nope. BUT-n ow she has her own business that’s growing and moving with her as she keeps learning and taking action…

 

There’s still things she’s working on and towards, but there’s no doubt that she’s a lot further along than she would have been if she tried to figure it all out by herself.

Without the right people around you to go to for support or advice, starting a business can be time consuming and frustrating…

But working privately with a coach can be expensive – especially when you’re just starting out…
Organised money

Perhaps you like the idea of working with a coach, and know that if you had some external perspective, support and accountability from someone with business experience you’d make progress faster.

But- you’re watching your dollars right now and it can be a big investment to work with a coach…

So where can you get the support and direction you need?

Sure there’s free business start up Facebook groups- but without much structure and SO MANY people in there no one really gets to know you and your business..

In some groups you can get lost in the crowd- without anyone providing the sort of insights, or support you really need..

You can ask a question in a free group, but without people really knowing who you are, what you do, or what stage of business you’re at, the responses you get may not be relevant or appropriate to your business- which is a waste of your precious time!

So, if you’re:

  • a woman starting and growing a business
  • not quite ready for private coaching..

and free online groups are a bit like playing Russian roulette..

How do you get the support you need to get started and grow, solo business- without spending thousands of dollars?

As a business coach- I hear and see this conflict A LOT!

…So I decided to create something in between private coaching and group support…

To give you the best of both world’s…

This is What You’ve Been Looking For.

It’s the fastest and easiest path for you to:

  1. Get support, direction and accountability from an experienced Business Coach

  2. Know what to prioritise, focus on and implement first.

  3. Make the most of your time to get things done

  4. And connect with other women also starting and growing their own business…

Client Feedback:

“Helped me believe in the value I had to offer my clients…”

” I was at the beginning of my business journey and knew what I wanted to achieve. but wasn’t quite sure how to get there. I had limited time (and expertise) to make it work and start earning the income I needed quickly, so I enlisted Shandra’s expertise to help fast track my journey.

She gave me the tools, techniques and strategies I needed to speak with confidence about myself and my services. Her advice helped me to convert potential clients into bookings immediately. The coaching program helped me truly define what my offer was, the best way to build it and then present it in a way that would attract my ideal client.”

“Extremely rewarding personally and professionally…”

” After working on my own for a little while I was feeling a bit lonely. When the opportunity came to join the women Transit group I was initially worried I wouldn’t gel with the others, but it’s a really supportive and fun community that I really needed.

Shandra is the most positive leader you could come across. She’s a wealth of knowledge, and a lateral thinker- she will help you find solutions to any business problem and will always believe in you.

I really recommend the Women In Transit group to anyone starting your own thing, or seeking help to achieve the next level in your business.”

Frequently Asked Questions

– click each Question for the Answers…

The group so far has service-based business and a couple of product-based businesses.

Most are ‘Solo CEOs’ without employees, but who outsource aspects of their work to VAs, interns or contractors.

So far the group includes businesses in Health, Career Change, Personal Training, Consulting, Mindfulness, Organisation, Project Management, Yoga and Tourism.

Some are in a Side Gig or very early in their business, and others have been in business for a while, but are refining their business offering or the way they are marketing themselves.

The most important element is that everyone who joins the group is ‘coachable’ meaning you’re open to learn from others, hear alternative perspectives and take action on what you learn.

The core strategies we focus on apply to most businesses and the intention is to guide you to know what you should be working on based on the type of business you are building and the stage your business is at and not to get distracted or overwhelmed by anything else!

Members say the investment is a fraction of what it is worth! Working with Shandra in Private Coaching programs start at $875 per month, but getting access to all her knowledge through the group is currently only $127 per month.

At the moment there are around 20 members with the intention to grow it to a size that maximises the support and network benefits for members, without getting so big that no one really knows you.

Each member must sign a Confidentiality Agreement before joining the group.

This ensures that everyone feels comfortable to discuss what they are working on in their business.

As in any group environment, you decide what level of information you’re comfortable with and what level of detail you wish to share within the group.

There are live sessions held on Zoom at least once a week [sometimes twice]. They rotate to include lunchtime, evenings and weekends to ensure you can find session times that work for your schedule. They are mostly on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.

We want to make sure every member is happy and getting results in their business. We also know that things can happen that might impact your decision to stay in the group, so when you join, there is no commitment to a minimum timeframe. If you decide to leave you just email to let us know and we will end your membership. We recommend you aim to stay for at least 3-6months to access the full benefits of the group and maximise your results.

P.S.: Because I like to reward action, when you decide to join, you’ll be part of an exclusive membership, and your monthly rate will be set for you – for as long as you stay a member you will never pay more, even when the price goes up for others in the future.

You really have nothing to lose, just massive business growth and genuine connections to gain!

Podcast guest Tanya Delzotto

“Genuine, approachable, honest – the support is amazing!”

“I was feeling really isolated working for myself and didn’t have a support network that understands the rollercoaster of running your own business and all the things I was going through. Since joining the group (just before COVID hit), I’ve moved my outdoor fitness sessions across to a virtual platform and run a successful 90 day Wellness Program. All the women are so genuine, approachable, honest and have the most amazing range of skills to share.”

TANYA DELZOTTO – Delzo Active (Personal Trainer and Retreat Host)

Podcast guest Kim Kerton

“I was burning out and felt dissatisfied”

“I knew I needed support to navigate this journey and not lose myself and end up back in what was comfortable.
I was nervous to commit to coaching, but without it I wouldn’t have had the confidence to share my new skills in yoga teaching, taking the steps into the unknow to build a platform and just give it a go.
That achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the mindset Shandra instilled of getting curious about what’s possible and being curious about where it leads. Without sounding cheesy- it was a little life changing..”

Kim Kerton- Good Side of the Bed (Yoga Teacher)

Joining Women in Transit will help you get clear on exactly what you need to do and how to do it, so you can create a business you love that supports the lifestyle you really want.

Still have question?

We want to make sure every member is excited to join and will get great value from being part of the group, so I’m really happy to answer any questions you have to help you decide if this program is right for you right now.

Some FAQs answered by founder
Shandra Moran

The group so far has been a lot of service-based business and a couple of product-based businesses.

Most are ‘Solo CEOs’ without employees, but who outsource aspects of their work to VAs, interns or contractors.

So far the group includes businesses in Parenting, Personal Training, Consulting, Mindfulness, Organisation, Project Management, Yoga and Tourism.

Some are early in their business, the first 12 months and others have been in business for a while, but are refining their business offering or the way they are marketing themselves.

The most important element is that everyone who joins the group is ‘coachable’ meaning you’re open to learn from others, hear alternative perspectives and take action on what you learn.

The core strategies we focus on apply to most businesses and the intention is to guide you to know what you should be working on based on the type of business you are building and the stage your business is at and not to get distracted or overwhelmed by anything else!

Joining the Waitlist means you’ll be the first to know when there are places available, but it does not guarantee you a place, or obligate you to join.

Being on the VIP Waitlist gives you a first priority invitation to join when places become available next, as well as first access to limited Fast Action Bonuses if you decide to join.

This is not a ‘course’ with set classes or standard ‘To Do’ items each week.

It’s very much driven by the members based on where they are at and the projects they are needing to work on to make progress in their business.

There are regular live sessions booked once or twice per week, however they are optional.

Some members rarely make it to the live sessions, and others use them as like set meetings to work ‘On’ their business.

We have a big focus on implementation and making sure you’re making the most of your time to work on practical tasks to grow your business, not having catch ups just for catch up sake…

In saying that, we’re human so we do like to have a quick check in to see how everyone is going and have a bit of a laugh too.

Each member must sign a Confidentiality Agreement before joining the group.

This ensures that everyone feels comfortable to discuss what they are working on in their business.

As in any group environment, it is also important that you decide what level of information you’re comfortable with and what level of detail you wish to share within the group.

The doors to Women In Transit officially open twice a year – in May and October.

However, for those who want to get their business started and growing as soon as possible, occasionally we send a ‘Secret Invitation’ to join, offered exclusively to people on the Waitlist.
