HerAdvisory Board is a trusted advisory group of accomplished business leaders who will challenge and support you in taking your business to the “next level”.
If you are accepted into the program you will be matched with two or three, specially selected, informal advisory board members, who will collectively meet with you, in person, once per month. Think of it as your own personal “brain trust”.
You will receive valuable feedback, direction, and guidance; helping you to set a strategic road-map and implementation plan to catalyze and accelerate your growth and success.
If you’re ready to apply, you must fill out this form. (Do note – this could take up to an hour. If accepted this will be turned into an executive summary for the mentors to review before your first meeting. You will also be asked to create a video for the mentors to review.)

TESTIMONIAL
Brooke Byler Acting Studio – “I just wanted to let you know that I have launched my “tip of the sales funnel” service (Private Intensives with yours truly), and I launched an exclusive amount of sessions to start with, so as to make it coveted. Two of the three slots were purchased in the first 24 hours, and one of those sessions has already purchased my three up-sell items in advance! I can’t thank you three enough for your insight and encouragement. This is a huge step and life-changing for us financially, and especially in that I can make so much in so little time, so as to be a mom along with it all. Classes are thriving and quite profitable, and the business is running without me now that I brought on a second admin. I’m just working biz dev and all the stuff I enjoy.”
