Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or second-guessing every move you make in your business? Many founders feel the exact same way. For first-time entrepreneurs especially, it’s easy to get caught in cycles of overthinking, scattered effort, and endless wheel-spinning without real traction.

That’s why I created Module 1: Entrepreneurial Fitness — the foundational training in the Ready Set Grow program. It’s designed for new and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to stop reacting to problems and start leading their business with clarity and purpose.

In this blog, I’ll show you what Entrepreneurial Fitness is, why it matters right now in your journey, and how it can give you the confidence and momentum to finally move forward. By the end, you’ll know if this training is meant for you.

And if you missed the earlier posts in this series, you can catch up here:

• Why I Almost Gave Up After 15 Years in Business (and What I Finally Learned)
• The 3 Silent Mistakes That Keep New Entrepreneurs Stuck (And How to Break Free Before It Costs You Your Dream)
• When the Door Opens: Will You Be Ready to Step Through?

Each blog lays the groundwork for why the training exists and how it prepares you for success.

The Struggle Before You Start

If you’ve been feeling:

• Confused – not sure what to focus on, because everything feels urgent
• Reactive – constantly putting out fires, responding to problems as they come instead of leading with a plan
• Doubtful – wondering if you’re really cut out for entrepreneurship
• Frustrated – spinning your wheels, but not gaining traction
• Burned out – exhausted from working so hard but still not seeing results

…I understand you. You’re not imagining it. These are signs that your business foundation needs attention.

• When you’re confused, you waste time on low-impact tasks.
• When you're reactive, you stay stuck in survival mode.
• When doubt creeps in, it undermines your confidence and decision-making.
• Frustration signals that your effort isn’t resulting in real progress.
• And burnout? That’s your body and business telling you that something has to change.

These struggles are exactly why Module 1: Entrepreneurial Fitness exists — to help you reset, refocus, and rebuild the clarity, energy, and mindset you need to lead effectively.

And this isn’t just about personal development — the research backs it up:

Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann found that about two-thirds of startups fail to generate a positive return for investors. Not because the founders lacked talent — but because they lacked clarity, strategy, and a sustainable foundation.

In other words: Left unaddressed, these challenges are often what keep promising businesses from ever truly getting off the ground.

The Transformation After Module 1

Here are the results after you complete the training:

• Clarity – you’ll know what matters most and finally have a plan that works
• Proactive – creating a roadmap that helps you anticipate challenges, focus on priorities, and lead your business with intention
• Confidence – you’ll trust yourself as a founder and make decisions from strength, not fear
• Momentum – instead of being stuck, you’ll build forward every week with sustainable progress
• Fulfillment – you’ll finally feel like you’re building the business you envisioned, not just creating another job for yourself

Imagine the relief of waking up each day knowing exactly where your energy should go — and feeling confident that it’s taking you forward. That’s the difference Module 1 makes.

Addressing the Top 3 Objections

1. “I don’t have enough time.”


Each video lesson is about 60–90 minutes, broken into five clear sections. You can watch it all at once or pause and return when it suits your schedule. The structure makes it easy to absorb without losing the bigger picture — so even with a busy life, you’ll make steady progress. The real question is: Can you afford to stay stuck where you are, losing more time to confusion and frustration?

2. “It feels expensive.”


I get it. Now consider the hidden cost of not investing: wasted hours, missed opportunities, and expensive mistakes.

Module 1: Entrepreneurial Fitness isn’t just information — it’s your ticket forward. You’re investing in proven frameworks instead of piecing together random advice and hoping it sticks. And right now, before the official launch, the price is lower and comes with valuable bonuses (more on that below).

3. “Will I really get the support I need?”


Absolutely. If you choose the mentoring option, you’ll receive direct support through video sessions, personalized guidance, tools and practical frameworks. If you’d prefer the self-guided route, you’ll get the structured lessons, tools, and practical frameworks designed to help you move forward with clarity.

Research strongly supports mentoring. In fact, a study from the University of Toronto found that entrepreneurs who receive mentoring are more likely to gain clarity, confidence, and long-term success in their ventures.

Whether you choose personalized mentoring or the structured self-guided program, Module 1 ensures you’ll have a clear path to follow.

Why Learn from Me

You might be wondering: Why should I (Joanne) be your guide?

Here’s why: I’ve spent more than 20 years as a Chartered Professional Accountant, advising real businesses with real challenges. I’ve studied extensively, combining CPA training with entrepreneurial research and personal growth development – and I’ve worked side by side with owners who have struggled to align their inner world with their business strategies.

I’ve seen what works — and what doesn’t. I’ve distilled those lessons into a program that saves you years of trial and error. On top of that, I’m not just teaching theory. I’ve applied these principles in my own business, walked alongside other entrepreneurs, and built something I’m passionate about because I know what a difference it makes.

I’m not standing above you delivering a lecture. I’m walking with you as someone who’s been there, who understands, and who genuinely cares about helping entrepreneurs succeed and build businesses and lives they’re proud of.

Why Now Matters

You could wait. But here’s the thing: Waiting means carrying the same doubts, frustrations, and overwhelm for weeks, months, or even years. That is not a fun state to be in.

Right now, before Module 1: Entrepreneurial Fitness officially launches, you can pre-enroll at a lower price. Plus, you’ll get an exclusive bonus toolkit called Decisions with Confidence, designed to help you start building clarity and confidence right away. This bonus is yours to keep, even if you later decide the program isn’t for you.

When the course launches, the bonus disappears and the price increases to the regular amount. This moment is a window of opportunity — and windows don’t stay open forever.

Your Next Step

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this is it. Module 1: Entrepreneurial Fitness was created to help you step out of confusion and into clarity, out of doubt and into confidence, out of spinning your wheels and into real progress.

The entrepreneurs who thrive aren’t the ones who wait for perfect timing. They’re the ones who take the first step when the opportunity is right in front of them.
