FOUNDING COHORT
That business you keep almost-starting? In 10 weeks, it’s finished.
Real. Live. A way to get paid.
Start A Business For Real This Time. A founding cohort of twelve, for late-diagnosed AuDHD women who are done collecting courses and ready to finish one to build a business of their own.
YOU ALREADY KNOW IF THIS IS YOU
It's living in tab #14, two Notion pages, and a voice memo you never played back. The business you've described to friends, sketched at 11 pm (or 2 am, let’s be honest), and never quite launched. And not because it's beyond you. You've kept harder things than this running for years. It just never had a structure built for the way your brain actually works, or a date on the calendar that made it real.
THAT'S NOT A YOU PROBLEM. IT'S A MISSING STRUCTURE Problem.
THE SHORT VERSION
Start A Business For Real This Time is ten weeks. One real part of your business built each week, in order, with the tools already in your hand and the next step drawn before you reach it. By the end, you have a live business with your name on it: an offer, a simple website, a way to get paid, and a real client conversation behind you.
Here's the shape of it: ten weeks, a small live cohort, one real thing built each week, with me on a call every week and the steps and tools handed to you so you're never staring at a blank screen. The calls are recorded, so if you can't make one live, the replay is yours to watch any time.
Not a someday. A live business with a date.
The full details come when applications open. For now, this is the page where you raise your hand.
WHY PUT YOUR NAME DOWN
It isn't a queue you wait in. It's the front of the room.
You hear first. The application opens to you before anyone else, and it's quick, mostly multiple choice, no essay to agonize over.
You lock the founding price. $997, the founding rate, instead of $1,888 when the doors open to everyone.
You get room to decide. No pressure, no pop-ups. Just first access and the time to think it through.
THE FACTS, NO FLUFF
Twelve seats. Full stop. I read and choose every application myself, because the room only works when it’s small.
Applications open Black Friday 2026.
The cohort starts February 2, 2027.
The founding rate is $997 USD, and the waitlist is the only place it exists.
And between now and Black Friday, your inbox is safe. No daily sales pitches, no countdown timers, no fake urgency. I'll only turn up when I have something genuinely useful or an update about your application access. Your energy budget is safe with me.
Here's the one you probably haven't said out loud. What if you start, and then a client fire or a flat week or just life knocks you sideways, and this turns into one more thing you didn't finish. I know that fear all the way down. It's exactly why the course is built the way it is.
Missing a week isn't failing here. It's expected, and there's a way back in. You don't crawl back to the beginning. You open the week you're on, do the one thing that matters most, and show up to the next call. Forward only. Done beats perfect, every single time.
And if the very first week isn't for you, you get a full refund. No hoops. That's how sure I am it'll fit.
THE PART YOU MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT
This is built so a bad week can't quietly become the end of it.
WHO’S BEHIND THIS COURSE
Hi, I'm Cyn. Fifteen years in the corporate world first: banking, accounting, finance, and then as an executive assistant in a Fortune 500 company. Not the one in the corner office. The one keeping several executives' calendars, travel, and deadlines from colliding, on my own, where a dropped detail wasn't an option and the presentations I built went out under their names.
Then a decade of photography, where I got very good at the craft and tried more than once to make it a business. I built the website. I wrote the price list. I designed packages I loved. Every pretty part got built. The plumbing never did: reaching people, marketing, taking payment. Every time it came to connecting it all, I hit the wall and quietly shelved the whole thing. Meanwhile photographers with half my skill stayed fully booked, because they had structure underneath the work and I didn't. Or maybe they just didn't give a shit about making it perfect. I did. That was the problem.
I got my AuDHD diagnosis at fifty, and two decades of almost-finished projects finally made sense. So I built the course I went looking for and never found: the boring technical bit, in order, one real thing at a time. The same way you're about to build yours.
PUT YOUR NAME DOWN
Here's the thing your brain will do. It'll tell you to wait. Until you're ready, until things settle, until you've thought it through properly. You've heard that voice before. It's the one that named a folder "Business Stuff" in 2022 and never opened it again.
Putting your name down isn't the leap.
It's the small thing you do before the leap, so that this time the someday has a date, and a seat with your name on it. That's the whole ask. One email.
You hear first. That starts with this.
Zero spam, promise: Just the good stuff when it’s ready.
