Don't Just Build an Offer.Learn How to Bring It to Market.

Six weeks of business development, practical sales training, live guidance, and community support to help you turn your professional expertise into a remote service business.

Creating a service offer is only one part of building a business.

You also need to understand your prospective clients, communicate your value, develop relationships, and learn how to sell your services.

Inside the Location Freedom Cohort, you'll work on both sides of the process.

You'll develop your business foundation and practice the skills needed to introduce your services to the market.

You've Built a Career. But Have You Built Freedom?

You've invested years into becoming good at what you do.

You've managed projects, supported businesses, solved problems, coordinated teams, served clients, and developed expertise that organizations depend on.

Yet your income may still depend on one employer, one schedule, and one location.

Maybe you dream of living abroad.

Maybe you want to spend more time with your family.

Maybe you're ready to create an additional income stream before transitioning away from traditional employment.

Or maybe you've simply reached the point where you want more ownership over your time.

The skills you've developed working for someone else could become the foundation of a business you own.

You don't necessarily need to start your career over.

You need to identify the value you already bring, understand who needs it, and learn how to offer it independently.

That's where the Location Freedom Cohort begins.

You might be facing:

  • • Not knowing which skills to monetize
  • • Uncertainty about choosing a niche
  • • Difficulty pricing their expertise
  • • Limited business development experience
  • • Discomfort with sales
  • • Not knowing how to prospect
  • • Uncertainty about finding clients
  • • Lack of a structured business launch plan

Your Experience Could Be the Foundation of Your Next Business.

These are examples of potential business directions the cohort can help you explore, not six separate services we sell.

Talent Acquisition

Recruiting and hiring support.

Project Management

You Belong in This Room If You're Ready to Build Something of Your Own.

This program is not designed for people seeking guaranteed income, passive income without client work, or someone else to build their business for them.

25+ Years of Professional Experience. A Mission to Help You Recognize the Value of Yours.

For more than 25 years, I've worked in talent acquisition, developing an understanding of how professional skills translate into marketable value.

As a business owner and trainer, I've also had the opportunity to train individuals who have gone on to secure well-paying jobs.

My experience across talent acquisition, business operations, logistics, training, and entrepreneurship has taught me that professional expertise is valuable, but knowing how to position and communicate that expertise matters.

I've also experienced life abroad and understand the desire to build a career and business around greater freedom.

I created the Location Freedom Cohort to bring these experiences together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the cohort only for coaching, consulting, and other professional services?

No. Week 2 has two tracks. Track A is for professional and business services such as coaching, consulting, recruitment, administration, and operations. Track B is for creative, event, and product-based businesses such as event planning, event decorating, balloon décor, interior styling, floral design, custom jewelry, and handmade or personalized products. Both tracks work toward the same outcomes: a specific buyer, ten problem or buying-need hypotheses, customer conversations, a niche statement, and a five-second explanation. Product businesses may also have licensing, safety, or marketplace requirements to verify for their location, and no track guarantees customers or income.

Do I need an existing business?

No. The cohort is built for women starting from their professional experience, not an existing business. You'll work through identifying your skill, offer, and business foundation during the six weeks.

What if I don't know which skill to monetize?

Week 1 is designed specifically for this. You'll inventory what you already know, translate your skills into customer language, and choose an initial pathway to explore before moving on to finding the problem worth solving.

What makes this different from a traditional online business course?

Most business courses stop at helping you choose a niche or create an offer. This cohort also includes practical sales training, including prospecting, discovery calls, objection handling, and ethical closing, so you learn how to bring your offer to market, not just build it.

Will I learn how to find clients?

Yes. Week 4 is dedicated to finding your first clients: mapping your warm network, choosing one sustainable channel, building a first-client plan, writing respectful outreach, and tracking your activity.

Will I practice sales conversations?

Yes. Week 5 focuses on permission-based discovery conversations, qualifying fit, responding to objections, and role-playing so you can practice before you're in front of a real prospective client.

What is included in Standard?

The full six-week accelerator: weekly live group sessions, a private community, Slack access during the program, the business development curriculum, practical sales training, and a personalized 90-day action plan.

What is included in the Founder Fast-Track?

Everything in Standard. The specific additional support inclusions for this tier are still being finalized. This page will be updated once they are confirmed, rather than listing anything that is not yet decided.

What is included in VIP?

Everything in Standard, plus two private 1:1 strategy sessions with Abrihet Imara: a Business Blueprint session and a Launch and Growth Roadmap session.

Is there a payment plan?

All three tiers (Standard, Founder Fast-Track, and VIP) are currently pay-in-full only.

Do I need to quit my job?

No. Many participants join while still employed and use the cohort to build a business alongside their current job before deciding on any transition.

Will I earn money during the six weeks?

No specific income is guaranteed. The revenue examples shown on this site are illustrative business models based on two clients at different price points, not earnings projections or a promise of results within six weeks.

Can I run my business internationally?

Many participants aim to build a location-flexible business. International remote work can involve immigration, tax, contractual, and legal considerations that vary by country, so we recommend confirming your own situation with a qualified professional. We cannot promise that a particular service business can legally operate from every country.

What is the refund policy?

A written cancellation request received at least seven calendar days before the cohort start date is eligible for a full refund. After that deadline, payments are nonrefundable except where required by law or the policy. See the Refund and Cancellation Policy for full details.

How does enrollment work?

Standard is direct enrollment with no application. Click Enroll Now and complete secure checkout. Founder Fast-Track and VIP require an application: you apply with that tier's form, it is reviewed against written eligibility criteria, and approved applicants receive a private checkout link.
