Having someone in your corner who knows about how to approach your ideal local client is invaluable. Leslie is honest, knowledgeable and supportive. You will see results! I love that you have continued access to all the info and and that Leslie continues to offer benefits and support.

"She doesn't offer inspirational fluff, but an actual plan"
I was nervous to spend the money, but looking back I wish I had invested sooner. I have grown so much as a business owner. Leslie is very specific and gives practical, clear advice on growing your business. She never gives “vague" feedback when I need it. She always lays out the exact steps for success. I appreciate that she doesn’t offer inspirational fluff, but an actual plan. If you are on the fence, remember what you invest will be multiplied back to you. If you knew that was guaranteed you wouldn’t hesitate. Also, you have access to her coaching for a LIFE TIME. That makes it the best deal and she really takes the time to give feedback and support every step of the way.

"The modules have taught me more than I could have ever learned myself"
Before I started The Localpreneur Academy, I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I was just going and going with no real knowledge on what I needed to do to grow my business! Since I’ve started, my confidence has shot through the roof, I feel like I can actually help people, and I think that has made a big difference when meeting potential clients! My processes are significantly better than they used to be as well because I’m better able to explain how I can help other business owners. Our weekly meetings are my favorite part of the week and it’s so nice to have a group of people who understand what you’re going through! I truly cannot recommend joining the Local Academy enough. If you’re feeling lost and unsure what you need to do to keep going forward, this is where you want to be! Leslie is amazing and the modules have taught me more than I could have ever learned myself.

"I've gotten so much more!"
With Leslie’s program, I had a clear picture of what she offered for the price. But I’ve gotten so much more! Through the program, I’ve gained confidence in using social media for marketing and I feel like I have a doable marketing plan. I feel like Leslie makes it easy to understand how to make changes so that nothing really feels overwhelming.

"This program puts everything in one place in a flow that makes sense"
Join. Everything is spelled out for you in a way that takes the guess work out of it. When your business grows and you need to revamp things, you can revisit the content for refresher anytime you need. Time is money. There is no need to spend hours on YouTube trying to figure everything out. This program puts everything in one place in a flow that makes sense. I restarted my massage practice in another state and am booked two weeks out within a year of opening the doors.

"If you're serious about growing your local business, this is the program for you."
I joined the Localpreneur Academy less than a year into starting my small business. I was extremely excited and passionate about starting a local business, but as a nurse I had background in business or marketing background. I was overwhelmed and confused, I had a good product but didn’t know how to make my local community aware of my business, build brand recognition, and target my ideal customer. I was initially nervous to invest in the program since I had paid for other programs in the past and didn’t get a lot of value out of them. My husband purchased the program for me as a Christmas gift and it’s literally the best gift I’ve ever received. The worksheets and videos in the program offer SO MUCH practical and actionable content, and you can binge watch it all immediately since you have access to the whole program. You can immediately take steps each day to implement the concepts you’re learning into your business. But hands down my favorite parts of the program are that it’s a lifetime membership, you also have access to Leslie all week in the private Facebook group, and get to attend a live coaching call every week! The value I have received from the coaching calls has been incredible. You receive individual attention and can always have your questions answered. You not only learn practical marketing knowledge from Leslie, but work on your mindset in areas such as how valuable your business/product are, pricing, that you’re not for everyone (and that’s ok!), and building confidence on social media and in your marketing. If you’re serious about growing your local business, this is the program for you. Invest in yourself as the business owner, join the Localpreneur Academy, and know that your business and you will grow so much.

"I recommend Leslie 110%"
I recommend Leslie 110%. Do it! Be ready to see results. Having a new business, the anxiety of "how does this work now" was my primary focus. I dove right in and April and May were my most successful months yet -- and 90% of my clients were new and found me on social media. I believe in Leslie!

"I've met or exceeded monthly income goals the last 4 straight months"
I never took any business or marketing classes and had a not so great relationship with earning money. The first 6 months in business I lost money. So investing another couple grand for Leslie's program was daunting at the time. She asked where I wanted to be in the next 6 months - in the same place or able to sell and make money. I chose the latter. In my first full year of being in business I already surpassed what I was making before working under someone and doing side freelance gigs. And I've met or exceeded monthly income goals the last 4 straight months. I find it helpful to hear about others' struggles and how they're able to overcome them and apply that to my own business. I've also come to realize to be successful being really good at what you do isn't enough. You have to also market and promote yourself and develop the necessary relationships in order to grow and maintain a certain income level.

"I more than doubled in growth"
Looking at my finances, it’s insane! In 10 weeks, I more than doubled in growth. I was able to transition to nutrition coaching full time, which I thought would take a lot longer. I’ve had my biggest income month yet. I’ve raised my prices twice. I did this while having an 8-month old baby and she’s home with me all the time.
- Kylee Arnold | Nutrition Coach
"Our reach and sales have grown so much!"
I cannot recommend this program enough. Thinking of website edits, marketing, emails, and social media content was so overwhelming to me I got stuck and was did nothing. I didn’t know where to start. Leslie broke it all down in bite size chunks with specific actions to take. I loved how each lesson built upon the next. And instead of frantically thinking of what I need to post or email the next day, she has walked us though creating a plan with content scheduled for upcoming months. Huge stress relief right there. Our reach and sales have grown so much!
- Alison Landry | Beekeeper
"I've grown so much as a business owner"
The program is super well organized, building puzzle pieces on top of each other. Everything makes sense to build upon the previous thing versus some other programs that randomly address topics or just coaching calls for “whatever comes up”. Going through each week and doing the exercises really helped me stay on track and make sure I was looking at my business from front to back. I’ve already grown so much as a business owner, and as a side effect, my business has also grown. I can’t wait to go through everything a second time and continue tweaking everything little by little! It’s also a bonus feature that I have lifetime access!

"I'm showing up for my community"
Before joining I was unsure about my alignment and confidence in being the local GO TO for clean beauty. I tipped toed in conversations and felt self conscience. My biggest shifts were in my mindset, clarity and the reminder that consistency in marketing is KEY. It's so easy to get lost in the scroll; looking at what everyone else is doing. Now I put my blinders on and make sure that I'm showing up for my community. Those that aren't interested will fall off and what will remain, are MY AUDIENCE. I've learned to embrace my ideal client and talk directly to HER! If you're on the fence about leaning into Leslie's program....GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! Her ability to define what is factual vs. just a story you're telling yourself is GOLD. I'm able to use it DAILY!

Even with a degree in business, the course material was highly informative - I learned something new every lesson or was given the opportunity to approach an old problem with a new perspective.
Ashlee A | Hair Stylist
Accountability is big! I love bouncing ideas off everyone. Leslie was able to introduce me to other local business owners who share the same interests in growing their business.
Erin L | Skin Scientist
Leslie's program has not only encouraged my creativity (that I didn't think I had) but also increased by business acumen. Learning how to be the local go-to in your community is invaluable.
Emily F | Mobile Notary
I would highly suggest investing in yourself and join this program. It will be a tool and resourceful community that you can refer back to no matter where you are currently at in your business.
Raegan L | Photographer
Leslie is great at getting you out of your comfort zone. If you want to grow and try new things in your business, bet that Leslie will be there for you and believe in you every step of the way!
Mackenzie S | Flower Farmer
Lifetime access to the program is a huge added bonus. Working through the course material after being in business for a year was completely different than the first time I went through.
