She has helped numerous clients realize their potential by helping clarify them their vision, providing a community for them to thrive and connect, and assisting them to up-level their mindset.

Maya knows firsthand what managing time, focusing on goals, and committing to a plan can bring. She turned an unexpected lay off into an opportunity to start her business. Although her first year in business was quite lucrative, she soon realized that she needed to pivot toward a new business model that would allow her to do more “heart-centered” work, which led to a tough second year in business.

Nevertheless, she persisted and is a highly-sought-after signature online program owner, creator, and consultant. This episode will surely help to kick you into gear if you’re feeling stuck. Enjoy!

Signature Program: taking your methodology or your process and putting it into a format that allows people to really understand it.
Determining your signature program:
- What is your biggest focus and how can you help your audience right now?
- If you could fast forward one year from now, what would be the ideal situation for you business?
- How can you commit to taking action to get to that next level?
Initially, Maya used Facebook groups to sell her program because it allowed her to connect to her target audience.
We discuss evergreen online courses vs hands-on courses; Maya recommends starting with a workshop or half-day program before attempting to do a evergreen course.
How to get started:
- Up-leveling your mindset; how to make sure you coming at this with a positive outlook

- Making consistency your new normal
We discuss if slides or instructional videos are best.
