As you know by now, I LOVE to get things done and nothing lights my fire more than helping my clients start new projects, initiatives, nonprofit and for-profit businesses, and see them take off and exceed expectations.  

During COVID, I’ve heard time and time again, how much everyone misses being together, learning from one another, and attending events. I’ve also heard WAY too many people say that their goals are on the backburner til 2021 or that they can’t wait til 2020 is over.

And to that, I say we still have an ENTIRE quarter of the year left! That’s SO much time to make awesome things happen!

So I created an INCREDIBLE program to Get M.O.R.E. out of Q4. It’s a 12-week group coaching program where we will take a project, initiative, personal brand or business idea that you have from concept to creation while learning from THE BEST in the biz! If you’re not quite ready to go “all in” at this time, it’s still an AWESOME way to learn how, and from, people that have done it successfully so that you’ll do it the right way the first time when the timing is right.

M.O.R.E. stands for:

✔️ Mindset⁠ - We’re going to make sure your confidence and mindset are in check and that you’re motivated to get this goal across the finish line, with the clarity and focus you need to make it happen.

✔️ Opportunities⁠ - We are going to get crystal clear on the opportunities that you want to pursue and ensure you're organized and prioritized! This makes a HUGE difference so you can keep your blinders on, and mindset strong!

✔️ Road Map - Designing your success road map will provide you with the structure you need to know what to do, and when so you can prevent overwhelm and stay focused on your goals!​

✔️ Execute⁠ - It’s one thing to have the idea and create it, it’s another thing to execute and launch. We’re going to make sure you nail it, and then, of course, we’re going to evaluate how to take it to the next level!

Not only will you receive bi-weekly instruction from yours truly with additional Q&A sessions to make sure you’re making progress, but you will also learn from AMAZING experts that will open your eyes to new possibilities. As you know, I’m all about taking you to the next level!

The program will kick off in October and will be on Saturday afternoons. And don’t worry, if you miss a session, you will be able to watch the recording in the brand new portal for this program 💕.

As a quick reminder, this program helps those that are motivated to take a project, initiative, business or personal brand from concept to completion. It’s also great if you’re just looking for an awesome experience and to learn, grow and uplevel your life too! There is a lot more information over on the AWC site, https://www.allisonwalshconsulting.com/more but please feel free to reach out with any questions.

And remember, I believe in you 1000% and my goal is that you do too!

xo, Allison

p.s. Even if you’re not able to join, I would be super grateful if you would share this with anyone who you think would benefit – just remember, #positivevibes only please!

More about Elizabeth Tran:

Elizabeth Tran is an environmental advocate with a passion for building organizations from the ground up. She started her non-profit Teens Go Green when she was 12 years old, encouraging minimal waste practices through service events, speaking engagements, and most notably trash fashions.

She was the first pageant contestant to compete in Evening Gown with a dress she made completely out of garbage from her office and home. Sustainability became her life's mission after she was part of Disney's Friends for Change, and worked with her inspirations like Jane Goodall and Zendaya to bring more young people to the forefront.

Elizabeth and her mother Rosanna combined their love for pageants, modeling, event planning, and fundraising through Model4Miracles, the largest charity modeling event in Florida. Over the last 11 years, they have raised over $130,000 for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Participants enjoy being a model for a day to support the cause. The kids from Children's Miracle Network Hospitals are sponsored as Miracle Supermodels with a red carpet limo experience.

Elizabeth graduated with her Masters in Web Design from the University of Florida with a 4.0 GPA and currently analyzes businesses for international investors and small business owners. Her love for business came from her parents who were immigrant entrepreneurs that moved to the U.S. to pursue their American Dream.

I am so proud of this young woman and all that she does, so I hope you follow her journey as well and support her efforts (@miss_uf, @jordanelizabeththorp and @jordan4smiles on IG and www.thejordan4smiles.org).

She’s UNDENIABLY a mover and a shaker. Her life’s mission is to help others find their voice and their confidence through smiles, speech, and service. She’s been an avid volunteer and fundraiser since she was a teen. She’s contributed millions back to the global economy as a result of her work with cleft lips and palates. She’s traveled the nation with her organization, The Smile Team, and globally with Smile Train. Her future is SO bright and her energy is infectious.

I love the timeliness of the topics we discussed and I was happy to share how I’ve pivoted during the pandemic and how I’ve remained positive during all of the chaos.

I hope you tune in to hear more - I love having the chance to contribute words of wisdom and appreciate Jordan letting me share this interview with The She Believed She Could audience.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the Podcast and let me know your thoughts! Next week we kick off the Savvy Girl interviews and I am excited to introduce you to the next generation of #bossladies.
