Still stuck trying to grow your business with reels, referrals and random tips?

What my clients are saying...
Sandra L
I have become so much more confident in my business and on social media since joining. I realized with the right support system, I can do anything I put my mind to. I will have my biggest year so far this year and am thankful to Leslie for sharing her knowledge with me!
Carmen B
I’ve learned so much about how to market to local businesses, and I’ve had some major mindset shifts that pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me market my business more confidently than ever. When I first joined, I hit the ground running—my April sales more than doubled!
Sarah F
I’ve gotten multiple new clients since starting, and my confidence in myself as a business owner has grown a ton! Before I started the Local Academy, I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. If you’re feeling lost and unsure what you need to do to keep going forward, this is where you want to be!
