WHAT YOU GET
Replace (even 2x) your income and impact in as little as 120 days—or slowly grow a side business with our proven step-by-step blueprint for success.
Out to Launch Academy is a proven roadmap where we help you launch your business via our Freedom From the 9-5 Framework. It’s a step-bystep game plan to unplug your experience and zone of genius out of 9-5 and plug it into your own consulting or coaching business, without needing to quit your job cold turkey, get stuck alone figuring everything out, or wait months to replace your 9-5 income
Screw the outdated system of corporate ladder climbing we have been told to follow. Look at all the layoffs! Look at how messed up our worklife balance is. Look at the economy. The old work-real-hard-buidling-someone-else’s dream system isn’t working.
Time to pave your own path. Out to Launch Academy is a step-by-step road map to show you how to take what you already know and do great and turn it into a flexible business that you can monetize from anywhere, anytime. Not only will you have geographic freedom, you’ll have financial & time freedom not to mention flexibility and fulfillment.
Our self-paced program will give you the key information and support so you can build a profitable freelance, consulting, or coaching business.
🎯 Create your Business Idea
Identify your Zone of Genius + a highly aligned audience that can’t wait to experience the magic you create. Dial in your offer (AKA your biz idea) and audience, price it, and get it out to market to kickstart your cash flow in as little as a few weeks.
🎯 Put yourself out there in an authentic way that is magnetic
Learn how to attract high-vibing dream clients, projects, and opportunities. There is no one way to build awareness about your business and brand. Whether you are an introvert or totally down to let your freak flag fly there are clients waiting for you to share your genius and magic.
🎯 Smooth Transition from Employee to Entreprenuer
Unless it resonates with you, there’s no need to take the leap your job. Together we form a game plan so you know when it’s just the right time to make your move. Many of our clients use consulting and fractional work as a stepping stone out of 9-5. Once they replace their 9-5 income and work 1/2 as much (plus their energy is through the roof now!) they have the energy and income to pursue what’s next for them (thought leadership, a new business, a passion, hobbies, social impact— whatever your heart desires!)
🎯 All the goodies that you need to start and run a business
You don’t need more certifications or an MBA. I went out there and got all the information you need, went and tested out the roadmap and rolled up what you need for success in a strategic, simple game plan. Get the systems, processes, budgets, files, scripts, tech stack, etc to build and run your business. Learn the basics of writeoffs, LLCs, financial literacy, etc
🎯 Stop the hustling. It’s time to work smart vs hard.
It’s not about doing everything, all the time, for everyone. It’s about being spacious and in flow so that you can spend more time doing things you love. Say goodbye to the busy-ness and let’s get down to business!

Out to Launch Academy
Ditch the corporate grind. Replace or double your income while working 1/2 as much, without quitting cold turkey, getting stuck figuring everything out, or waiting months to replace your 9-5 income.
WHO IS THIS FOR
You have a track record. You have an area of expertise that you can unplug from the format of 9-5 and monetize being your own boss as a consultant, fractional, or coach.
Sure, at times you might feel unsure of yourself (congrats you are human and the corporate grind tends to chew people up and spit them out). But if you center with yourself, you know deep inside there is something more for you!
Before we dive into the details about this extraordinary program, let’s talk about who this program is really for:
Executives, managers, those with a niche expertise (AI, copywriting, project management, strategy, company culture, event planning, etc), or have a background in finance, HR, operations, marketing, operations, IT, etc). There are so many possibilities that could work!
The writing is on the wall and you see it clearly. A layoff is coming for you any day… It’s time to get your ducks in a row and you aren’t going to get another job just to play the pay off game again in a few years
You are between jobs, have 100s of resumes out, and realizing it’s time to take matters into your own hands
The truth is you’ve been playing small and it’s time to stop waiting for the confidence to play a bigger game— it’s time to just be courageous and go for it
You are at a crossroads (or see yourself coming to one soon) and you know it’s time to start building a real future for yourself
It’s time to unlock your full potential… no more busting your butt to build someone else’s dream and potentially have it taken from you.
When it comes to starting a business, you don’t know where to start. All you need is a game plan to follow, some support, and accountability and you will blast off!
It’s a no brainer to collapse time. You know time is money and see the value in having an expert to guide you, support, and keep you accountable because you know it’s critical to fast track your success.
You realize that the worst case scenario that could happen is you spend some time and money trying to build your business only to realize being a business owner wasn’t for you… best case scenario is that your whole fucking life changes and you have total freedom!

Amanda made $75K within 4 months of starting OTLA
“I opened my business officially in September 2022. As of today, I have earned 75% of what my corporate salary was in half the time (6 months) and am on track to earning over 100% of that salary in 2023. With their templates, individual support, resources, and community, OTLA has helped me move down a path I have always wanted - my own business, on my terms, managing and coaching the way I want to, and earning revenue to take care of my family in truly balanced and healthy manner. I recommend OTLA to anyone who is looking for that leg up. You must put in the work but when you do - it pays off in spades.”

The course work isn’t a box you check, it’s a structure to help you continuously develop your business as both you and your business evolve.

Knowledge is power. Some people do Out To Launch Academy simply to learn about and get a strong understanding of what it takes to run a successful business. It’s the best shortcut to get a business up and running because it covers the basic (and not so basic) building blocks to business.
Even if you do not leave 9-5 soon (or ever), the knowledge you will gain will be instrumental to you positioning yourself more powerfully at your job. Employees who understand business are often the people who get promoted and are offered opportunities because they are able to understand the bigger business picture for the company.
-
No. The most important thing is that you create the smoothest transition possible out of 9-5. Going from employee to entrepreneur (or freelancer / small business owner) is like learning a whole new language. You choose a launch timeline that works for you. Building a business can take a slow + steady or all-in approach.
