Do any of the following resonate with you?

⏰ You feel the compounding effects of the daily grind.

Maybe you're staring out the office window watching the sunny days pass by. Maybe you just want more time at home with your kiddos. Maybe you want to travel. We all have different whys, but they're all truly a deeper desire for more freedom.

🙇🏻 You like the idea of making money online but are feeling overwhelmed.

Everyone and their grandmother is an influencer these days with something to offer you. How do you navigate the options and decide what's right for YOU? Getting started is often the hardest part.

🤷🏻‍♀️ You don't know what you would start a business about.

As an accountant and personal trainer, this didn't come "naturally" to us either. We learned everything on the fly. We're here to tell you that there is no secret success gene. You will figure it out, and we can help you do it.

We all have these feelings. As an accountant, I thought I didn't have a creative bone in my body.

This is called a limiting belief, and it SUCKS.

What If You Could...

👩🏻‍💻 Launch your first online business in just a month.

It doesn't have to take months to do this. You just need to focus on what really matters in the very beginning. Leave the rest for later down the road. It's all about taking the right steps at the right time.

👥 Build an audience of people that actually care about what you have to say.

Wondering why people would ever listen to you? We all feel this when we get started. There are so many others out there already doing it, so what makes you any different or special? Your knowledge, your experiences, and your voice are what make you unique.

💚 Listen, connect, and grow from your audience.

This is where it starts to get really fun. When real people are engaging with your content and they're actually listening and responding to what you have to say. Building relationships with your audience is going to lay down a solid foundation for your continued success.

💸 Start earning real money by helping these people solve their problems.

Making money doesn't have to feel weird. You don't have to be overly salesy. You can be yourself. Honesty and transparency are at the core of everything that we teach, and we'll show you how you can make money honestly and transparently.

We're here to tell you that you CAN!

Hey, there! We're Lauren and Alex, and we're going to show you how! It's not rocket science, but I'm also not going to sit here and tell you that it's really simple either.

In fact, our first attempt actually flopped. Big time.

But that's just the beginning of the story. And if an accountant and personal trainer can figure this out, you certainly can!

You see, we were working full-time jobs when we started our first online business.

Like many people, we had thoughts of escaping our 9-5 and traveling the world before we were old enough to retire. We were tired of limited vacation time and chasing weekends that never lasted long enough.

So, we started a blog. We worked nights and weekends and poured our hearts and souls into it. We had so many great ideas and we truly wanted to help people.

Long story short: we spent 2-3 months working on this first blog and we weren't able to monetize it. In fact, we spent weeks creating a product that no one wanted.

But we didn't give up.

We started a new website with a different design and a few different ideas.

Fast forward a couple of months, and we made our first $172.82.

It doesn't sound like much, but it meant the world to us. It meant that we could do this. We proved it was possible. We just needed to learn how to make more!

And that we did... You see, the setup is everything.

If you build the right foundation and you focus on the right things, you'll save yourself months of zeroes and question marks.

From here, we grew and grew. We earned $103,456.98 in our first year.

Now, we make much more than that:

"This Course Cut My Learning Curve in Half, Literally"

We Made Every Mistake In the Book the First Time Around

🙇🏻‍♀️ 1. We weren't focused on the right things at the right time.

The courses that we took and the advice that we got weren't all bad. They just weren't right for us at that time. We didn't know what we should be focused on when. We just tried to throw everything up at the wall to see what would stick.

🤯 2. We got really hung up on some of the techy parts.

We spent weeks messing with the design of our website, trying to learn some coding to make it perfect. In reality, this was a huge waste of time and it slowed us down tremendously. We didn't have any direction on what really mattered or how to get there. We just tried to mimic other websites.

💭 3. We didn't know anything about creating content with a purpose.

We created the content that WE thought other people wanted to read. Our business very quickly became about us – not our audience. Instead, we should have been listening to our audience and doing research into what they were looking for.

🤑 4. We were too focused on making money and not on building an audience.

We were getting some visitors, but we had no idea how to connect with them and learn more about them – which is the first step towards helping them and making money. So, we just simply kept doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result.

We're here to help make sure YOU don't make these same mistakes we did!

Will I need to purchase anything else once I buy the course?

The only thing you really need is a hosting service. We do recommend other software because of their ease of use, customization, and ability to get you results faster but they are all optional and we also provide free alternatives. Oh, and you need a computer (duh)!

Co-Founders, Avocadu & Create and Go

Hey there! We're Alex and Lauren, and we own a health and wellness blog at avocadu.com as well as an online biz blog called createandgo.com, where we teach people just like you how to turn your passion into a profitable business you love.

We absolutely love what we do here at Create and Go, and we've been featured on some major websites for what we do.

In less than 9 months of working online together, we turned our health and wellness blog into a passive income machine making $20,000 per month in income.

We were able to quit our full-time jobs working as a personal trainer (Alex) and a CPA (Lauren) to pursue our dreams of being able to work from home and we now make over $75,000/month with our online business. We have even been able to travel to countries like Nicaragua, Peru, Portugal, and more - all while working on our business!

Don't get us wrong... It takes hard work and dedication, but you'll find that working on something you LOVE and that has the ability to majorly impact your future is a million times more rewarding and fun than a job that you hate.

Now, it's your turn to experience the fun and success that we've been able to achieve!

Let's do this thing together!
