The Ambitious Introvert® Academy

The Ultimate Online Business Startup Program Designed Exclusively for Introverted Entrepreneurs

Let’s be honest - the early days of business can be overwhelming
You’re tired of…

  • Feeling pulled in a million directions, not knowing where to focus your time and energy
  • Being SO passionate about what you want to achieve, but more and more annoyed each day you make no progress towards it
  • Downloading freebies and minicourses, watching masterclasses and reading blogs, but not being able to piece together what you actually need to do to make it all work
  • The constant noise of the online space making you feel you need to be doing all.the.things (but being so overstimulated you’re honestly doing none)

The good news is - you can absolutely build your dream business while honouring (and even utilising) your introverted traits

  • You had a proven roadmap to build a business strategy that took you from concept to clients (with zero guesswork)
  • You had all the foundations in place to do business in a sustainable way (without having to dance around on social media)
  • You were so confident in your offers, marketing and sales process that you felt energised when you thought of running a business, rather than exhausted

And the good news? It’s simpler than everyone on the Internet has led you to believe

Imagine if…

If you identify with any of the above, I want you to know that…

All of it is 100% possible and available to you!

Success is not reserved just for extroverts. 

You don’t have to be the loudest to stand out. 

And there’s no need to drain your energy on unaligned strategies to sign your first client. 

All you actually need is the right information, in the right order, combined with the right support, to lay those foundations for your introvert-friendly business.

Next cohort begins March 30th 2023!

“Before joining The Ambitious Introvert® Academy I didn't know where to start.

I knew I wanted to be a coach, I wanted to work for myself, help others, live my dream of success, but I was confused and daunted by how to get there. It was all too much and completely overwhelming. Now I’ve exceeded my goals, both personally and business-wise!”

— Clare, Coach

Inside The Ambitious Introvert® Academy you’ll find…

A complete roadmap to guide you

from ‘business idea’ right through to signing your first client (no cookie cutter formulas here, just proven frameworks giving you all the flexibility while making sure you have everything you need in place)

To-the-point, value packed videos and exercises in each module,

so you can start building your business (without losing hours in front of the screen down a research rabbit hole)

Monthly live strategy calls (6 in total) with me,

where every member will have the opportunity to ask advice and sense check their strategy with me 1:1

Monthly live calls (6 in total) with my amazing co-coach Kate Carter.

An ambitious introvert herself, Kate specialises in supporting new entrepreneurs with the mindset issues and anxiety that starting a business brings up in us. This combination of strategy and mindset support is the powerful combination that helps us take action and make progress towards our goals

A small, curated cohort of ambitious introverts

(maximum 9 others) who completely understand you, and are there to offer support between calls in your exclusive private community group. Coaching programs with 50+ people sitting on Zoom, where you wait week after week for your 5 minutes of support, are so 2020. We’re here for depth of connection and true, personalised support

Regular, scheduled integration weeks

- life happens, and we’re over the glorification of hustle and rushing. These purposeful pauses ensure you have all the time you need to work through the modules, without ever feeling the pressure of falling behind (because there’s no such thing as behind here!)

Plus, foundational mindset and energy practices

to support your personal development as you settle into your new identity as an entrepreneur

You’ll be guided along every step of the way - helping you focus on the things that really matter and start making progress right away

  • To begin, we’ll get clear on something most programs skip over - your Personal Vision and Values. We’re here to build a business that works for YOU, so we’ll use the foundations of this module to build upon throughout the program. Think of them as your guiding principles for any decision you make in your business (and life)

  • Next, we’ll identify your personal ‘Zone of Genius’, who your Ideal Paying Client is, where you sit in the market and how you can stand out by simply being yourself. All of this makes marketing and selling our services SO much easier, and way more natural, for us introverts!

  • We’ll use this clarity to create your very own Signature Offer - this will become the very core of your business and designed with your future clients, your values and your energy in mind. Bonus - I’ll also show you how to leverage this offer to scale your business for more revenue and clients in the future…

  • Next, it’s time to map out your marketing strategy. As introverts, our focus will be on deep connections and building trust, ignoring the latest social media trends. This allows us to choose which medium works best for us and our clients, and create a simple but powerful content repurposing system around it. The best part? This will be a plan you can use for the rest of your business, regardless of how it evolves and grows!

  • Then, we’ll ensure you have all your legal ducks in a row, making everything ‘official’ now you’re so close to signing your first clients - think contracts, insurance and GDPR compliance - so you can start selling with confidence

  • And lastly, you’ll learn exactly how to curate a sales process that feels great for everyone involved - so you’ll be confident in taking the right steps from the moment someone says ‘I’m interested’ right through to sending their contract and invoice!

SECURE YOUR SPOT NOW!

“Coming into The Academy I thought I wanted to work on my mindset and push through my blocks to make the business that I'd already started successful. 

Fairly quickly into doing the work I realised I wanted a different business entirely - all the pieces fell into place, and I got my first paying client for this new direction almost immediately, at a much higher value than my previous packages had been.”

We begin the next cohort March 30th 2023

  • Have 360º support from both a business strategist AND an mindset and anxiety coach who are both ambitious introverts themselves

  • Follow a clear, proven roadmap to guide you through the business-building journey in the most efficient, overwhelm-free way

  • Limit numbers to small, intimate cohorts of fellow introverts, to keep the support level high and the energy calm

  • Create a private space to connect with your fellow students and coaches away from social media

  • Include integration weeks to reduce pressure, encourage rest and support your nervous system as you act and grow (rather than cramming the lessons into just a few months)

  • Keep strategy focussed on long term, sustainable business principles that work (and avoid social media trends or extrovert-led fads)

  • Provide introvert-friendly energy and mindset practices to support you every single day

You can feel scared AND take action at the same time - are you ready to get started?!

There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of coaching programs out there that show you how to start your online business - but The Ambitious Introvert® Academy is unique in being designed exclusively with introverts in mind.

“I had done a group programme before that really did not fit me or my business,

so I was a bit hesitant that the others in the group would be very different to me and my business, have different values etc - but actually I think it has added to the experience.”

Hi, I’m Emma-Louise

With 4+ years in business and 12+ years of coaching, I’ve supported all kinds of people in achieving their goals. But my favourite clients have always been introverted entrepreneurs (just like I am!)

Since 2019 I’ve supported dozens of clients 1:1, and over 300 have enrolled in my digital courses. I combine proven business frameworks with personal development so that you can create a solid strategy and the belief required to act on it.

Certified Business Consultant and Mindset Coach, Founder and CEO of The Ambitious Introvert®. 

You’re in safe hands...

Kate Carter

Kate is a Mindset Coach and Business Mentor with certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, coaching and mentoring. 

Her passion is to help new entrepreneurs to release self-limiting beliefs, increase confidence and take aligned action so they can thrive and grow a profitable business they love.

Meet Your co-coach and fellow ambitious introvert,

“Emma-Louise really got me as an introvert. 

She understands when to gently challenge and when to give space and time. How to pace, keep newness and change slow enough for your nervous system, yet not letting you 'get away' with staying comfortable and not growing. She believed in me all the way through, and especially when I doubted myself, she completely believed I could do it.”

FAQs: Here’s everything you need to make an informed decision about whether The Ambitious Introvert® Academy is right for you…

I’m a (copywriter, VA, designer, consultant, coach, healer, etc) - will this work for me?

I’m a (copywriter/VA/designer/consultant/coach/healer/etc) - will this work for me?

If you want to start a service based business, where you work with clients in a 1:1 capacity, yes! However it’s important to note that this isn’t a formulaic program where you follow set steps and it either works or doesn’t - it’s a roadmap that guides you through proven frameworks, so you get to choose which aspects are right for you!

 I’ve taken other programs and not finished them/not got results - how is this different?

Without knowing the exact program I can’t comment - however many are very much ‘follow this 10 step formula’ and/or designed and led by extroverts. If the strategy felt too restrictive, was too overwhelming or the energy was wrong, you’re probably in the right place here.

When do the calls take place?

Mainly Thursdays, with the occasional Wednesday due to holidays, at 7pm BST. This allows for the most time zones to be able to join live. However you can also submit your questions ahead of the call, as the replay will be shared in the private community.

Can I join in a few months?

The Academy runs on a small cohort basis - this allows the group to bond and connect without the disruption of new members joining mid way through. It also means everyone is working through the same modules at the same time, eliminating the feeling of ‘ahead’ or ‘behind’. Therefore the doors only open 1 - 2 times per year. Our next cohort kicks off March 30th, so you’ll need to sign up by then to join this round.

What if I get behind on the modules?

Don’t worry! The modules are paced at an introvert-friendly manner, and with regular integration weeks where no new content is released, giving you the opportunity to manage your time whatever your circumstances. In the last cohort we had people with existing businesses and with full time jobs, and 100% were able to complete the program within the period of the container. Plus, having lifetime access means there’s never really a behind!

I’m SO keen but I have a concern or questions - what can I do?

Let’s chat! You can either book a 15 minute call here or message me via Instagram or email. I want to make sure you have all the information you need to make the right decision for you.
