A first step for women ready to begin

Am I Ready to Start My Business Online?

A checklist for women who are finally ready to back themselves.

by Katrina Collins – katrinacollins.au

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to know where you’re starting from.

Work through each section. Tick what feels true. Notice what isn’t yet. This is your starting line, not a test, not a judgement. Just an honest look at where you are right now.

I have spoken to at least one person about what I'm building
