There’s more to it than having a great idea.

So You Think You’re Ready to Start a Business?

You’ve got the passion and a plan (or at least a Pinterest board). But launching a business takes more than ambition and an LLC. Cecily walks aspiring entrepreneurs through the messy middle—what you really need to know about money, taxes, structure, and mindset before things get too real. This isn’t startup theater. It’s the real stuff no one tells you until it’s too late.

You’ve got a business idea. Let’s make sure it can pay the bills.

Turning a passion into a business sounds exciting, until the invoices, taxes, and entity decisions hit your inbox. Most new entrepreneurs don’t need hype. They need a plan.

Cecily helps future business owners move from inspired to informed, giving them the real tools and knowledge to build something sustainable from day one. No fluff. No filler. Just what you actually need to know before stepping out on your own.
