YES! Sherese is NOT one of those educators that only present theories or cookie-cutter strategies. She not only has gone through her own program (several times), but she has designed the program to automatically customize to your own unique situation. Sherese believes that everyone is unique and can't implement or manage a business in the same way. Therefore, it must be unique to each business and the person running the business.

In addition, we have created a foundational learning curriculum so there is room for customization, impromptu, and amendments. As your live trainings are completed, you will be able to view the recordings. Our education format is similar to organizing your semesters in college to achieve a degree in that programming within each knowledge domain needs to be completed and practiced before moving on to the next. In addition, your training, courses, and tutorials all flow as you progress.
Our policy is once the program begins, after 90 days, we do not offer refunds. You can always join the next cohort with approval, with complete access to the full program. Of course, if there are extenuating circumstances, we will review each case on an individual basis. Once you sign up for the program, you will have access to it for the time specified.
