WOOOOAHHHHH !!!!!

 

I just got accepted to the HIVE’s Global Leadership Program in San Francisco for the world’s top purpose-driven CEO’s, entrepreneurs, leaders, innovators, and philanthropists who are working to create a better world and solve humanity’s greatest challenges.  I’m shocked and BEYOND EXCITED (this is me right now).

 

To give you some context as to how incredible this is:

  • 5000+ people around the world have applied to this program
  • Since the inception in Jan 2014, only a few hundred have been accepted
  • Who goes?  CEO’s of $200 million dollar companies, astronauts, award-winning social impact entrepreneurs, Olympian Gold medalists, refugee re-settlers, neuroscientists

 

AND THEY SELECTED ME!

To make the odds even more insane, I was amongst the small handful of people who received a (partial) SCHOLARSHIP!  

 

WHY I NEED YOUR HELP

 

Most people get their costs covered by their organizations (or are already millionaires).  Many who can’t afford it have reached out to their personal communities to help them get to this once-in-a-lifetime 3 day program, in fact Hive suggested I fundraise!

 

In 2015 I took the bold leap to leave my corporate job to build a business with a big vision to make an impact on the world. Today I have one awesome client that sustains my day to day expenses. The rest of my time is spent launching my nonprofit (a girl gang that empowers female leaders), and building a business (that doesn’t yet make money).
 

MY BUSINESS

 

90% of the world's largest fish are extinct.  80% of the world's forests are gone.  83% of the world's population lives below the poverty line. I'm combining my skills in [Corporate Social Responsibility] x [Business] x [Life Coaching] to train and empower the most incredible entrepreneurs to design their BUSINESS to SAVE THE WORLD.  

 

THE PLAN: 

  • In place: Ideation, audience defined, mentorship, foundations for greatness
  • Q1: Branding, website, product & revenue strategy, content gathering, launch
  • Q2: Grow revenue & impact
  • Q3: Expand team & bandwidth, 6 figure business 
  • Q4: Start a family  
  • 2017: Expand revenue streams & impact, 7 figure business   

 

MY ASK:  $10

 

I’m looking to raise $2000 USD ($2800 CAD) to help cover the remainder of my tuition, flight, and accommodation.  

400 people were inspired to “like” my facebook post when I shared the news!!!  If 200 of those people gave $10 USD each, this would be a done deal!  I’d be sitting in a San Francisco on Feb 12th in a room full of the world’s most inspiring game changers, setting in motion a business that SAVES THE WORLD! Check out the curriculum.  

 

 

Anything raised above the goal will be reinvested into my business! There’s a lot of costs that goes into building something from scratch: website, branding, digital marketing, software (e.g.: content hosting, e-commerce platforms, accounting software), equipment (e.g.: podcasts recording equipment), legal fees...    

 

I am SO INSPIRED and HUMBLED beyond belief AND SO UP TO THE TASK IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY!  

 

Thank you again for all your support
