“Kathy listened to my experience and pointed me in a direction that resulted in a new business that allows me to work remotely and take care of my health. She helped me. She’ll help you.”

Steve W.

“Thanks to Kathy, I was able to concentrate on planning and devising methods to transition my small company into a truly remote, work-from-home option in the future. When I felt overwhelmed, confused, or lost, I looked forward to Kathy’s comments, which was always helpful, kind, and encouraging. I really suggest collaborating with her.”

Kathy’s Top 5 Reasons for Joining the PGP Membership Community

 

I’m building THE MOST supportive/helpful/KIND community online!

Hanging out with others with a chronic illness gives you an instant connection. We know what that life entails. Add a common goal (being a chronicpreneur), and you’ve got a recipe for success. You can ask questions, engage and share knowledge. Everyone is like-minded, moving toward a common goal, and helpful.

It’s SOOO much better than Facebook groups

Distractions, ads, polarizing content and Auntie Jane trying to PM you are all common issues we face with being in a group on Facebook or any social media platform. This is different because when you’re in the community, you’re in the community cocoon. You’ll find members who are helpful and kind, and there’s nothing better than surrounding yourself with like-minded people in a non-distracting environment to get shit done! 😉

You’ll have an instant, amazing network

I spent years building up my network of trustworthy people who specialize in various areas. Many of these are members in the community. By joining, you’ll not only have immediate access to MY personal network but you’ll be linked in with other members who you can network with, partner up with, and refer to (and get referrals from!). Think collaborations and joint venture partnerships – and TONS of support from experts and community members.

The platform is A.maz.Ing

I went through a loooooong process deciding what the very best platform was on which to build this membership. I LOVE the one I chose. The UX (user experience) is beautiful, it’s clean, distraction-free and has the feel of Facebook/Slack and LinkedIn but the topics and threads are organized.

You and I will get to know each other well

I’ll be inside the community. If you ever want to pick my brain or ask any questions, I’ll be there to help guide and mentor you moving forward. As my brand grows, I have less opportunity to interact with people individually via email and social media. I intentionally wanted to create a space where I could engage with my community – and this is it!! Ahhhh – the beauty of membership!!

Testimonials

What People Who Have Worked With Kathy Say: 

“Kathy really helped me think through strategies to slowly start to grow my small side business into a remote, work-from-home opportunity in the future. At times when I felt lost or overwhelmed in deciding which direction to go, I looked forward to getting feedback from Kathy as she was always thoughtful, positive, and supportive. I highly recommend working with her if you have the chance!”

Meredith S.

“I was literally astounded when I found Kathy (gobsmacked is more like it) from all the work she does, as well as, the vast experience she has on all levels of working within the chronic illness community. She has literally created every possible opportunity available and made it into a career for herself, in order to help others who are dealing with chronic illness. And now she’s sharing all of that with all of us. Every time we speak, she’s exploding with new ideas for me. Thanks to Kathy, I signed a contract as a writer and contributor for a large health information organization. I am stoked to see what else we are going to create together. I am completely honored to be working with this powerhouse of a woman!”
Jenny A.

“Kathy has been such an inspiration, and she’s always ready to be your cheerleader/ mentor with any project you might be working on. I haven’t known her for very long, but already I’ve gained an abundance of information about what I need to start doing in order to get my business off the ground. It’s such a great asset to be able to have an outsider’s opinion on my work and my projects”
Hannah G.

“I contacted Kathy when she was first announcing her business coaching. I have a small retail craft store that was doing ok but I needed a boost and help to figure out what to do next. After our very first coaching call where Kathy gave me some marketing ideas, my sales DOUBLED, almost overnight. As a fellow chronicpreneur, I so appreciate Kathy’s help. We all know we are not superhuman – quite the opposite – but with her help, not only has my business flourished, but having conversations about growing a business with someone who understands our particular health challenges has been worth every penny and more.”
Michelle I.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if this is for me?
Do you have a chronic illness? Do you want to learn about how you could either add one-off gigs, side hustles, part time work or a full-on chronicpreneur business to your life? Do you want to hang out with other people just like you on this journey? Do you want to take part in trainings, co-workings, and find answers to your questions and support on your path? Then you’re in the right place!
What are the monthly trainings like?

The monthly trainings are exclusive, member-only trainings that focus on a variety of topics in and around online business opportunities accessible to chronic illness warriors and the business side of things to help you in your chronicprenuer journey. Unlike courses, these are more webinar style trainings where members can join live and ask questions. The trainings are a mix of presentations by Kathy and trainings with experts in various fields.

What if I can’t make the live trainings?

All live trainings will be recorded and archived, no problem! You can watch them whenever you have time.

What are the bi-weekly office hours like?

The biweekly Office Hours are a chance for you to ask any pressing questions you have live and with other members attending as well. These biweekly Office Hour sessions have proven to be amazing learning experiences for everyone who attends. Something you ask might be of great help to someone else that’s on that call – and vice versa. It’s kind of like getting  free biweekly coaching sessions! 🙂  You can watch, learn, apply and reap the benefits for your own business!!

Do I have to sign a contract? What if I need to cancel my membership?
If you need to cancel, no worries; we’re all chronic illness warriors in here – me included. I get it: sometimes life happens and it’s just not the right time. No problem. You can cancel at any time via your account here. This will automatically stop your billing. We’ll cancel your membership in our system at the end of your billing cycle and remove your access to the community. You can reactivate your subscription there as well and re-join the community at any point and if you re-join, your profile, posts and other content will be saved so you won’t need to redo anything if you leave and come back 🙂 When you rejoin, however, you’ll rejoin at a potentially higher price – whatever price is being offered at that time. And – UNFORTUNATELY – if you were a Founding Member and had the Founding Member badge next to your name, you cannot recover that badge.
Is there a refund policy or guarantee?
Yep! There’s a 14-day, 100% money-back guarantee. If you feel, for whatever reason, that the membership just isn’t for you, contact us within 14 days of purchase and you’ll get a full refund. No questions asked. No harm, no foul.
