Hello, Friend!

Over the years so many Big Fish have told me they want to develop a product to sell.  They wanted to increase the ways in which they earn income.  They want to have passive income that does not impact their time.  I have been listening to you!

Making a product is a big deal, so I have partnered with Michelle Bonn (Product Manufacturer Extraordinaire from Expedient Trade!) and Creation Express, (a company that specializes in marketing products) to bring you Creating a Product 101!

This course will propel you to get your product created, marketed and on its way to creating more income for you, all while holding you accountable to the process along the way!

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE! Keep reading….. and I’ll check back in with you at the end of this page!

Fondly,
Lorin

So the bottom-line, this short course is a 6-8 week course, with the 3 coaching sessions every other week… and one module every other week.  During this time you can expect Creating a Product 101 to:

• give you the full picture of manufacturing process from idea to sale, AND break that process down into manageable chunks
• provide guidance for each stage of the process
• provide additional resources for in-depth assistance

I’d like to offer you one more BONUS: When you get to the end of the program not only will Michelle be ready to speak with you for FREE but so will I!  Receive a free 30-minute coaching session with me after you complete this program.

Once again, don’t put off the development of your product! I know that you have a product in mind that WILL positively impact the world!  Let’s get it out there, let Big Fish Nation support you in taking the first step TODAY!  I know you’ll be more empowered, knowledgeable and excited after you do this short course!  Let’s go!

I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes:

Lorin
