You were born to be a brilliant Black woman in business.
These mindset blocks might be hold you back, but in the program you'll break through them.

We build your business around a problem that you already know exists in the market and that your skillset naturally solves.

About your coach
Mercedes Swan
Business Strategist for Black Women
I built my business the same way I'm going to teach you to build yours! Leverage the expertise you learned on the job to build a future where you don't need one. Mine was DEI and HR. Yours is the intersection of your lived experience, your mission, and what you've become excellent at.
I know what it's like to be a Black woman in a high-visibility role, brilliant at her job, and hitting all the KPIs at work, while all my business, personal and financial goals were waiting on a shelf.
The Business Love Cohort is the roadmap I made for other Black women and the one I wish I'd had: a step-by-step process, weekly accountability, an intimate group coaching and a room full of Black women who want to see you win!

Good questions
Before you say yes...
I work full time in a demanding role. Can I really do this?+
Yes, the program was built for Black women building around their careers. Sessions are in the evening, the weekly actions are scoped to be done in a few hours each week and the whole model is designed to be simple and repeatable so you can scale it while you work.
What if I don't know what my business should be yet?+
You know more than you think. Weeks 2 through 4 are dedicated to naming your brilliance and turning your existing expertise into a business model and one signature offer your ideal client will pay for.
What exactly will I have at the end of 12 weeks?+
One signature offer. One marketing strategy. One system to consistently generate revenue. All leading up to a simple but effective business launch.
What happens after the 12 weeks?+
The cohort ends, but your support doesn't. Your enrollment includes an annual membership to the Black Woman Bliss Community, so you get 9 more months of group coaching and implementation support after the cohort ends. You keep your membership for as long as you want.
What if I have to miss a session?+
All training videos are pre-recorded, so you won't miss anything important. Every group coaching session is recorded for reference. Sunday implementation calls give you a second touchpoint and a chance to catch up each week. So if you miss a week, no worries, we'll get you back on track!
