A program for women in transition who are ready to build a business, in 6 weeks or 12, designed around the life you actually have.
Summer cohorts now enrolling · Pick the track that fits your seasonThe idea has been there for years. What's been missing isn't ambition, it's a clear next step.
A new season, a new schedule, a new set of limits. Whatever got you here, this program meets you where you are.
You don't need the jargon or the business degree. You need a structure that turns the idea into something real.
Most business programs hand you a template and expect your life to bend around it. The Launch Blueprint works the other way. The framework stays the same, five phases, real accountability, but the timeline and how you move through it are shaped by where you're starting and what your week actually looks like.
No jargon. No assumptions about how much time, money, or experience you already have. Just a clear next step, every week, built for the life you're actually living.
Same five phases, same accountability, different pace depending on where you're starting.
For the woman who's already started something and is ready to refine her plan and grow faster, not start over from scratch.
Save my spotFor the woman starting from zero who wants the full runway to validate her idea, build her plan, and launch with real support.
Save my spotA clear structure that still leaves room for her path to look different from the woman next to her.

Partner with WLAI'm Lorelle Woods. My background includes developing and facilitating the introductory entrepreneurship program at YWCA Houston, work that led to our organization being selected to host the WE360 Conference, a national women's entrepreneurship event. Through pitch competitions and coaching, the women I've worked with have collectively won more than $50,000 in business funding, with sponsorship support from companies including Coca-Cola and Comcast.
But credentials were never the whole story. Like a lot of the women this program is built for, my own path didn't move in a straight line, a season of motherhood reshaped everything I thought came next, and I had to find my own way back to building something of my own before I could help anyone else do it.
That's exactly why The Launch Blueprint exists. Not a program built from theory, but one built from actually living the in-between, the wanting to start, the not knowing how, and the work of finding the steps anyway.
The things women ask most before saving their spot.
Full is for the woman starting from zero who wants the complete runway, from validating her idea to launching it. Express is for the woman who's already started something and is ready to refine her plan and grow faster. If you don't have a validated idea yet, Full is the better fit.
You don't need anything yet. The Full track is built specifically for women starting from zero, the first phase is dedicated to identity, mindset, and idea validation.
Yes. Express is designed for exactly that, women who already have an LLC, some revenue, or an existing business and want to refine and grow it faster.
We meet on Zoom, and yes, it's completely virtual. You can join from anywhere.
Every session is recorded, and you'll always have access to the recording no matter what. Live attendance matters though, since each session includes live coaching you can't get from a recording, so the expectation is you show up unless something genuinely comes up, and you give a heads up when it does.
I take the most common day and time across the group. If there's a real split, the cohort may run on two different days that round, so everyone gets a time that actually works.
Tuition is due before your cohort starts.
Yes, if you cancel before your cohort's first session. Once the cohort begins, tuition is non-refundable, but if something serious comes up, reach out and we'll figure out the right next step together.
Yes, real business confidentiality. Every participant signs a confidentiality agreement before the cohort begins.
No. WLA educates on legal matters as part of the curriculum, but you should still seek professional legal help for your specific situation.
No. WLA does not take any equity or percentage of your business or any funding you go on to raise.
A certificate of completion at graduation, plus eligibility for future pitch competitions open to all program alumni.
Yes. Graduates are eligible for future pitch competitions, and all program alumni get a chance to pitch.
Yes. This program is built around designing the pace and structure of work around each individual, that's the whole premise, not an exception to it.
Yes, partner with WLA directly and we'll set up a fully packaged curriculum for the women your organization already serves.
Summer cohorts for both tracks are enrolling now.
For the woman starting from zero who wants the full runway to validate her idea, build her plan, and launch with real support.
Tell me a little about you, then continue to Square to complete your payment. I'll follow up with the exact day and time once I know what works best for everyone.
Every story below started the same way a lot of yours might, an idea, a stall, or a business that needed a real plan behind it.

This transformation empowered Roxanne to compete in two pitch competitions, securing $25,000 in funding to grow her practice.
