“I have been able to uncover my special gifts to offer women who are disillusioned by having lived the “Good Girl” lifestyle and find themselves unhappy and feeling lost.”
“Before I enrolled in the Launch Your Business program, I wasn’t confident in my business ideas and, honestly, struggling with what I have to offer as a life coach.
As a result of taking the course, I have been able to uncover my special gifts to offer women who are disillusioned by having lived the “Good Girl” lifestyle and find themselves unhappy and feeling lost. This discovery led me to go from an “I’m not sure” to “I’m ready for the world, Rosetta, show me the way” attitude! I’ve launched my business.
I recommend this course for anyone who wants to remove their limiting beliefs and is ready to do the work to manifest the business of their dreams.”

As a result of taking the course, I have clarity on the direction of my brand. I had another website that I had just launched previously, but I was just not connecting with my tribe.

It was worth every penny. I’ve known that i wanted to start a coaching business for 3 years but have never had the courage, resources and accountability to do it. The course provided all three!

“It was a magical moment when I drafted my marketing plan!”
“The opportunity to enroll in the Launch Your Business Boot Camp could not have come at a better time. Prior to participating, I had been “stuck on stuck”. Every time I thought of any aspect of my business, whether it was marketing, finances, or even the elevator pitch, I became stuck! But after this 6 weeks, I continue to make progress each day.
During the boot camp, Ms. Thurman’s wisdom and guidance helped to identify the root of my “stuck” (fear) and helped me to overcome it. The weekly, directly applicable homework assignments aided me in staying on the path to entrepreneurship. The thought of a successful business became present for me, for the first time ever! It was a magical moment when I drafted my marketing plan, and even moreso when I began to set-up the social media sites for my business.
I am so thankful that Ms. Thurman offered this Launch Your Business Boot Camp. Aside from the overly abundant resources, Ms. Thurman’s happiness made all the difference. As she spread guidance and wisdom during the weekly sessions, a safe space for peace and creativity was created. Many budding entrepreneurs could use this type of space. For this reason, I recommend the Launch Your Business Boot Camp with the highest esteem. If you are an entrepreneur or even a budding entrepreneur ready to move beyond thinking about your business, enroll in this course to “be about your business”. The value is unbeatable.”

“Finding my purpose has helped me to heal from my grief and burnout.”
“I’ve followed Happy Black Woman for a while, but committed to start investing in the programs this past month. After taking your Find Your Purpose Program, I was compelled to email you. I have to say, I have accomplished A LOT in my life so far. But with all that I had going for me, I was still confused.
When I sat down to do your program, a lot clarified for me. Before, I just had a list of stuff I did not know what to do with. I love so much…where do I go from here? I took the survey and found my top 5: Beauty/Creativity/Humor/Learning/Judgment. I was excited because this jogged my memory of what I’ve always known about myself—but never thought to interpret in any way. Then, once I created my mission statement and listed what I wanted to get down in the next 48 years of my life, a lot came to a head for me…
I’ve come A LOT further from where I started. And to find my purpose has helped me to heal from my grief and burnout. Thank you for this program!”

“Before I took the Launch Yourself Business Boot Camp, I was struggling with creating a consistent weekly schedule and getting clarity with the right words to attract my ideal client. As a result of taking the course, I have been able to be consistent and market my business with specific marketing strategies 20 hours a week.
Also, I have CLARITY of my SWEET SPOT and know the exact techniques to attract and keep my ideal client with value-based pricing. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to be consistent with a business schedule and learn the exact steps they need to take to identify their ideal client.”

“They booked me as their speaker!”
“Although I have a gift for speaking, I lacked the guidance and knowledge to successfully launch speaking services. I attended the How to Become a Professional Speaker course and received phenomenal encouragement, information, and guidance! I shook off the “perfection paralysis” and following Rosetta’s advice and templates, completed my speaker packet. I built my website to including my coaching, speaking, and consulting services.
As a result, I was contacted by a faith organization to be their women’s retreat speaker. I enthusiastically sent over my speaking packet. Since it was well-prepared and addressed all their questions, they booked me as their speaker! I thank Rosetta for utilizing her gifts and talent. I now have aligned my mindset with the value that I offer!”

“The day after the last class, I landed my first client!”
“Before I took the Launch Your Business Boot Camp, I was struggling with identifying my passion. Living in survival mode, I was never really able to figure out what I was good at or what my passion was. In taking the online course I felt such a true connection with people in the course. They all had a real genuine desire to help each other succeed. The work for me was challenging at times, but it’s the kind of work that allows you to grow and to believe in yourself to launch your own business, by allowing you to offer your talents and gifts. Not to mention doing something that you LOVE to do. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is ready for results and to put in the work to launching your business.
As a result of taking the course, I have made remarkable strides in such a short amount of time. I launched my business The Diamond N You. I have written and self-published my very own workbook “Diamond In the Rough” a 4-step guide to finding true happiness and living a purpose-filled life. The day after the last class, I landed my first client! Just by putting myself out there, I now have many others inquiring about my business. Thanks to Rosetta, I am looking forward to reaching my full potential and going nationwide!”

“In just two months, my business went from just an idea to reality!”
“I attended the Happy Black Woman Launch Your Business Tour where I met other women business owners who encouraged me to start my own business. I didn’t know where to start, so I signed up for the Launch Your Business Boot Camp.
As a result of taking the course, I have been able to identify my ideal client, develop a signature service and create a fairly professional looking website. I recommend this course for those who need a simple structure for getting them started and some accountability to go along with it. In just two months, my business went from just an idea to reality!”

“I’m now writing an e-book, have revamped my website, repackaged my speaking engagements and am fired up to make it happen!”
“I’ve been an entrepreneur for six years, but I never truly felt like I was maximizing my potential or my time. The irony is that I became an entrepreneur to create my ideal life and spend quality time with my young children while working on projects and with clients that mattered to me, but instead I found myself overly stressed, working at all hours of the day and night, in such an inefficient way!
It was only after taking the Launch Your Business Boot Camp that I’ve finally experienced my major breakthrough “Aha!” moment. I’ve realized that working on my business is just as important as working on projects for my clients. I’ve grown in confidence among such a supportive, truth-talking group of women. But most importantly, I’ve finally figured out how to combine my professional passion of helping environmental education professionals grow in their strategic business skills with my personal passion of motivating people to achieve goals using the analogy of a marathon. I’m now writing an e-book, “26.2 Keys to Success: A Guide to Achieving Your Goals with the Marathon Mentality”, have revamped my website, repackaged my speaking engagements, and am fired up to make it happen!
Rosetta’s Launch Your Business Boot Camp is not for the faint of heart – it’s six tough weeks in which you need to hold the truth-telling mirror up to both your business and yourself to see what you really want to be and do. The good news is that it works. The reality is that you’re the one that has to do the work :) Thank you, Rosetta, for keeping it real and being the voice in my head that drowns out the doubts and pushes me forward!”

“They don’t teach this stuff in college!”
“Before I took the Launch Your Business Boot Camp, I was struggling with building my brand, understanding my value and I needed to learn how to keep my business from becoming my hobby. I had created my business based on my life experience of overcoming the mere thing that was supposed to take me down and out of my world which I had once belonged – breast cancer. Because of my deep passion to fight breast cancer through awareness, the Wrapped-N-Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Organization was founded, which led me to becoming a speaker and published author. As the years passed, I found myself giving away my time, money and materials because I didn’t know or understand how to monetize my passion.
As a result of taking this course, I have been able to clarify my brand which is the most important aspect of my business – which is “ME.” I developed a sense of what my value is to my organization as well as to my personal life. During the course, I gained information which was not any part of why I took the course in the first place, such as: discovering multiple streams of income within my own business, how to focus on my sweet spot instead of being all over the place and special resources to guide me in pricing my services and products. They don’t teach this stuff in college! I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to understand their value and build their brand to keep their business from becoming their hobby. P.S. The sisterhood which was formed within the group amongst us was genuine and absolutely wonderful.”

“I booked my first client for my 3-month coaching package!”
“Before I took the Launch Your Business Boot Camp, I didn’t know where to start. I knew what my passion/purpose was but I was unsure where to begin. As a result of taking the course, I have been able to learn step by step how to launch. I now know who my target market is and how to price my packages.
I recommend this course for anyone who wants to get their business started and need someone to guide them through the process. Rosetta is awesome and truly gifted. The guidelines and principles are easy to follow and once the course is complete you will be very clear on how to launch your business. Right after the course, I booked my first client for my 3-month coaching package!”

“I booked my first consulting gig of 2014 with ease and confidence!”
“I got so much information and inspiration from the How to Become a Professional Speaker course. One of the things that I had been avoiding was updating my information packet about services. Taking Rosetta’s advice and having her template as an example, I began to rewrite my packet. I realized that I had a lot of value to offer people from my experience and education. In addition to speaking, I added consulting services too.
A few days after finishing the packet, I was contacted about a literacy consultancy at an elementary school and a potential speaking engagement. I was prepared and able to send over my information packet quickly. I booked my first consulting gig of 2014 with ease and confidence! This course got me to own my value and take action to fully realize my entrepreneurial dreams!”

“I am much more prepared after taking this course!”
“One week after taking the speaker’s webinar, I received a call from a local church to be a part of panel to speak. I have been praying to build my speaking platform and I am so glad that I am much more prepared after taking your course. Thank you!”

“Since the retreat, I’ve been able to launch my blog, publish my book and create a growing list of book tour dates!”
“I decided to attend the 2013 Happy Black Woman Retreat because I needed guidance. The retreat was held around the same time that I decided to quit my job and follow my bliss as a writer. Before I attended the retreat, I had the big picture of what I wanted to do in mind, but I was struggling with putting the steps in place to see this vision come to light.
What I enjoyed most about the retreat experience was the strong sense of camaraderie and acceptance among the participants. The people who I connected with at the retreat have become a great support system for me. The biggest thing I learned about myself at the retreat was that I am capable of living the life that I imagined. Since the retreat, I’ve been able to launch my blog, publish my book, and create a growing list of book tour dates. I highly recommend this experience for other women who are tired of existing, and are ready to live!”

“I will have my first business consulting client this summer!”
“I attended your speaking training a few weeks ago. Before the class, I wasn’t making any money in my business, despite all the things I did. After the class, I completed the action steps I posted. I said all that to say…I will have my first business consulting client this summer!
I was contacted by a Literacy Coordinator to come on as an outside independent literacy consultant. During my eight weeks off, I will provide training in the area of literacy. My goal is to do this full time in my business. This is affirmation for me, I can do this in other areas such as coaching teachers, writing books. Again, thank you for what you do for all the black women out there. It’s working…I am creating my ideal life!”

“Rosetta helped me earn $30,000 in additional income in one year by adding a digital product to my business!”
“As a seasoned personal trainer, I was used to the model of trading hours for dollars with one-on-one clients in my studio. Then I worked with Rosetta to write, launch and promote an ebook to help first time figure competitors. Together we created a simple, yet effective marketing strategy using e-newsletters, Facebook and teleseminars to build a large email list of ideal customers.
In just one year, I was able to bring in $30,000 with this digital product. I used the additional income to purchase a home for my mother, a goal I’ve had for over a decade. Rosetta’s advice and marketing savvy have taken me from struggling personal trainer to thriving fitness coach with multiple income streams in my business. She is the real deal!” – Kimberly Doehnert, Fitness for Life Consulting LLC
“This was the best investment I have made. Wish I would have purchased it 10 years ago!”
“It’s late and I just completed the How to Become a Professional Speaker training. I learned so much! Felt like I was right there with Rosetta! This was the best investment I have made. Wish I would have purchased it 10 years ago! My next step this week is to finalize my speaking packet. I already redesigned my business cards!”

“I learned how to talk about my business in a way that tells my prospect exactly what I do and how I can be a solution to their problem.”
“Before I took the Launch Your Business course, I was afraid to get out and network. The biggest thing I learned was how to talk about my business in a way that tells my prospect exactly what I do and how I can be a solution to their problem.
As a result of the course, I have been able to speak about my business with ease when I meet new people at networking events.”

“I was able to start my website and get connected in the virtual assistance industry!”
“Before I took the Launch Your Business course, I was thinking about starting a Virtual Assistance business. The biggest thing I learned in Launch Your Business was how to put yourself out there and really key in on just one or two services that I would offer and who my target market would be.
As a result of the course, I was able to start my website and connect with other veteran VAs to get started in this industry.”

“Rosetta helped me grow my email list to several hundred readers and start a Youtube cooking channel that now has more than 12,000 subscribers.”
“Before I booked my business coaching session with Rosetta, I was thinking about starting my business but wasn’t sure where to begin.
Rosetta provided me with a lot of practical strategies to grow my email subscription to several hundred followers and the confidence to start and grow a Youtube cooking channel to more than 12,000 subscribers. Rosetta is passionate about taking women to the next level in their business and I highly recommend her as a coach.”

“I began putting my blog together, became a member of a mastermind group and started putting my business ideas out in the open!”
“I decided to attend the 2013 HBW Retreat in DC because I was ready for a professional/entrepreneurial awakening. I had been following Rosetta’s blog for a year and knew that she possessed the necessary tools to show me how to start thinking about working for myself and making it a reality. Before I attended the retreat, I was struggling with knowing where to start. What I enjoyed most about the retreat experience was seeing that not only was working for myself a possibility but how accessible it was. I simply had to start with me. The biggest thing I learned about myself at the retreat was that I needed to learn to ask for help.
Since the retreat, I’ve been able to maintain connections with the other attendees and put in practice the tools that I learned. I began putting my blog together, became a member of a mastermind group, and started putting my business ideas out in the open. I highly recommend this experience for other women who need to put themselves first and take the necessary steps for personal and professional development.”

“I’ve been using techniques from the retreat to help me live my ideal life!”
“I decided to attend the 2013 Happy Black Woman Retreat because I was unhappy with the way my life was going. Before I attended the retreat, I was struggling with “finding” myself, learning how to have more confident within myself and learning not to seek validation from other people. What I enjoyed most about the retreat experience was the connection I had with the other women in attendance and the atmosphere of a sisterly environment. The biggest thing I learned about myself at the retreat is that I can be happy with myself and that I can live the life that I desire. Since the retreat, I have been able to create my blog entitled “The Road Through 100” and have been using techniques from the retreat to help me live my ideal life.
As a result of the connections I made at the retreat, I have been keeping in contact with the other women through Facebook , emails, and blogs. One of the women and I have also made a commitment to call each other once a month to keep in contact and to encourage one another as we go through the change of creating our ideal lives. I highly recommend this experience for other women who are going though the struggle of trying to find happiness in their own lives.”

“I now teach cooking classes for children and adults, have written my first e-book, and coach other women in achieving better health and wellness.”
“I loved working with Rosetta Thurman in her group business coaching program. When I started, I had a vague idea of what I wanted. I had a small food and women’s health blog, but no real idea on how to turn that into a profitable business. What I needed most was confidence in my own ideas.
Rosetta gave me laser-focused support to help me hone in on my blogging niche. As a result, I now teach cooking classes for children and adults, have written my first e-book, and coach other women in achieving better health and wellness.”

“I was able to obtain clarity about my business goals; define my ideal target market and so much more!”
“When I saw the opportunity on HBW for me to progress in my career, I was elated! Launch Your Business came at the perfect time. So many times I had visions of what I wanted to accomplish, but didn’t know how to begin the process. One of the first things I learned was to START taking steps. The more steps I took, the better I felt about launching my business/purpose.
As a result of the course, I was able to obtain clarity about my business goals; define my ideal target market and so much more! I made a tremendous amount of progress in just 4 weeks! The weekly assignments were engaging. I received encouragement, feedback and unconditional support. I also enjoyed meeting and learning about other women and their businesses. One of my favorite quotes is: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” Thank you Rosetta for appearing when I was ready!”

“I have been successful in my writing goals, thanks to the accountability partner I gained from the retreat.”
“I attended the 2013 Happy Black Woman Retreat because I was (and still am) in transition in my professional and personal life. The retreat looked like an opportunity to invest in myself in order to gain focus on my next moves. What I enjoyed most about the retreat was the feeling that I was a part of a larger community of black women all carving out their corner of this world. Throughout the retreat, it was reassuring and inspiring to hear about the struggles and triumphs of my fellow participants and knowing that I was not alone in my desire to truly be a happy, black woman.
The biggest thing I discovered is that I am closer than I think to the goals and desires I articulated throughout the retreat. On the last day of the retreat, I decided to revisit my online presence and find a way to make my writing available online. Since the retreat, I purchased an internet domain name, starting tinkering with my online presence, and I have slowly but surely become more consistent with my writing goals. One of the reasons I have been successful in my writing goals is thanks to the accountability partner I gained from the retreat. I recommend the Happy Black Woman Retreat as a great way for women to invest in themselves, and spend time delving into their concerns, struggles, and eventual paths to triumph.”

“I have created a blog that I am very pleased with!”

Ms. Thurman helped me to create a blog that I am very pleased with and I will continue to improve on my product thanks to her helpful tutoring and support.”

“I’m more focused and not all over the place.”
“Before I took the Launch Your Business Virtual Boot Camp, I was struggling with getting my business out of my head and up and running. I didn’t know how to set things up properly. I’d tried running a business unsuccessfully before but needed a blueprint that was not offered to me from school or any of my internships that I am still paying thousands of dollars in student loans for. I needed a right now plan of action to get things done.
As a result of taking the course, I have been able to launch my business from start to finish and offer clear services to my ideal clients. I’m more focused and not all over the place.
I recommend this course for anyone who wants to get started on the path to running their business on their own terms and making a great living from anywhere in the world.”
