TRUST YOURSELF

achieve what matters
If you are an ambitious woman with big goals and even bigger talent,
but feel like you would have been better served by learning business acumen in school instead of geometry (I mean seriously, when’s the last time you fell back on your parallelogram skills),
HYA was created for you.
Success in business requires an abundant amount of skills that few of us were ever taught. From business planning to goal execution, deciding what clients you want to serve to target marketing, from growing your confidence to asking for what you’re worth, sales, managing finances, hiring and delegating… these are all necessary skills to grow and scale.
But who has the time to learn them all? And how will you know if it’ll work?
Honor Your Ambition will equip you with tangible, actionable learnings, and takeaways that you can test and implement immediately.
you provide the ambition.
We'll provide the acumen.
With a collective 30+ years of executive experience training new business owners, thousands of clients coached, and multiple millions of dollars of revenue generated, Honor Your Ambition founders are sharing the secrets of their success

who is this for?
If any of the following statements apply to you, you're in the right place!
I have the ambition, talent, and passion, but would benefit from growing my business acumen
My business/career is profitable and growing, but it’s time to take it to the next level (like how do I double this thing?!?)
I adore my friends, but would love to have a place where I’m surrounded by women who are as ambitious and career focused as I am
Most of my coaches, mentors, competitors, and counterparts are men… and their way of doing things doesn’t always resonate with me. I’d love to hear how successful women are honoring their ambition
I love being independent, but I miss being able to brainstorm ideas, get feedback, and collaborate with others
I’m passionate about my work but want to avoid burnout and be able to serve more people
I work hard and I want to make sure I am working proactively in the direction of my goals

I have had the pleasure of working with this amazing group of experts and thought leaders for over half a decade and individually each of them are a force to be reckoned with. The fact that they have all banded together to bring an offer to market that combines their collective strengths is just too good to be true!!!
- Carrie D.
I have been able to think bigger and gain a clear vision of what is possible both personally and professionally. I'm both encouraged and inspired to be bold in honoring my ambition!
- hannah a.
I've built systems and processes that have reduced my day to day stress of running my business and have both a quarterly vision and a long-term vision that excites me, and is based on what I want to achieve rather than what others want me to achieve.
- Sydney K.
It's women like you who inspire me every single day to show up as my highest self & never give up on my dreams.

Retreats, continued growth groups, world domination (we’re ambitious women… the possibilities are endless). Stay tuned!
What’s next after the Mastermind Growth Groups?
We’ll review your application and respond via email within 48 hours with more information about your mastermind growth group. This communication will include pricing, information about your group, start date, etc. At this point, you can confirm your choice to move forward, or not. You will not be charged or added to a Mastermind Growth Group until you’ve accepted the terms.
What happens after I apply?
Our goal is to bring together women who are facing similar challenges, are in a similar professional stage, and will be interested in similar topics of discussion... we’ll look at net income, experience, amount of people you employ/manage, as examples. Having said that, in most cases, you will not necessarily be grouped with someone in your same industry (and we believe this is to your advantage). We ask that you apply to join a Mastermind Growth Group so we can form cohorts for maximum impact.
How will I be grouped?
You noticed that we didn’t give a price, did you?! Excellent observation skills! It’s because the fee for these masterminds will vary based on your group. But because we know price matters, you can expect a range from $150 - $500 per month, based on the experience of your group. In all cases, you will receive 1 month free if you pay for the entire 6 months up front. We will not collect payment until you’ve been notified of your group and fee, and you’ve accepted the terms.
How much do the Mastermind Growth Groups Cost?
We ask that you do your best to prioritize and attend all 6 virtual meetings, but we know ambitious women are busy so if you need to miss a session, that’s entirely up to you. In order to create a comfortable and confidential environment, the mastermind growth group meetings will NOT be recorded, and you will still be charged if you miss a session.
What if I miss a session?
We ask all participants to commit to 6 months, as these groups will have a relationship component (and commitment is a pretty important aspect of all relationships). Zoom meetings will be 1.5 - 2 hours per month, depending on the size of your group (6-8 is ideal group size). Days and times of calls will be discussed with your group, and calendar invites will be sent for all 6 months prior to your initial call.
