class of 2025 now closed

Investment options: pay-in-full, pay in 3 or pay in 6.

start a service business that gives you freedom

Goodbye Girl Boss. The new era of entrepreneurship is here & it’s service-led, life-giving & seasonal. We are not here to work more than we live or to be contained to a rigid 9-5 schedule that leaves us very little free time to explore other parts of ourselves.

We are here to experience everything our one, big life has to offer & to do that, we need greater control over our time. The system many of us have been told to subscribe to simply can’t support our fullness or prioritise our wholeness. It can’t move with the natural & intrinsic seasons & cycles that exist within a diverse & expressed life.

So it’s time to build our own system. It’s time to believe in our innate resourcefulness & our ability to successfully work for ourselves.

calling in both emerging & new entrepreneurs

serve is a 12-week business program for emerging service-led entrepreneurs — practitioners, teachers, coaches, mentors, consultants, advisors, creatives — service providers of all kinds. It’s also for new entrepreneurs who have already taken the leap but need deeper support to build a profitable business that can comfortably & consistently pay them what they are worth.

purpose & profit

Anyone can create a brand, build a website & start offering their services, but it takes a strong foundation, structure, strategy & accountability to turn that brand into a profitable business.

& that’s what Alison is offers in serve — the step-by-step process to creating a culturally aware, spiritually intelligent brand & a profitable business that can pay you what your gifts & skills are worth.

learn from one mentor doing it today

learn from one mentor doing it today

We have officially reached information overload. Instagram & TikTok are flooded with business coaches & marketing “gurus” promising $10k, $50k & $100k months. The advice is often conflicting &  lacks the nuance required to capture high quality leads & convert followers into clients.

It’s so normal to have countless Reels bookmarked, multiple e-books left unopened in your inbox & links to replays of webinars you signed up for but never attended.  This program allows you to leave all of that behind & instead, focus on the advice from one seasoned business mentor who is thoughtfully scaling a service-based business today.

it took alison 6 years to learn what she now teaches in 12 weeks

This program is an opportunity to collapse time & save money.

It’s tempting to try & do it on our own with the intention of saving money, but the time it takes actually costs us money in the end. Learn from someone who has been where you are, knows what is required at each stage of starting & scaling a service business.

overcome limiting beliefs, fears about being seen or failing

The most powerful breakthroughs of them all. The truth is, a world-class strategy is meaningless in the face of limiting thoughts, beliefs, patterns or behaviours.

total value of the serve program

$30,000+ worth of strategy & mentorship

Why so much value?

Because Alison is yet to meet an emerging (or established!) entrepreneur who can comfortably invest $30,000 upfront on what is essentially still just an idea.

That’s why serve exists at the price it does: To make starting your own service business less financially risky.

what it would actually cost

If you were to engage experts & contractors to support you at each stage, the investment would exceed $30,000. This program is an opportunity to learn how to do it yourself & use the strategic knowledge over & over again in your business as you grow.

Business Strategy $10,000
Marketing Strategy $7,000
Brand Strategy $6,000
Content Strategy $5,000
Offer Design $3,000
$30,000 $3,500

Kind Words
serve really is like an incubator, so to get to place your most tender of dreams within this incubator is truly such a gift. To take your own dreams seriously, with others who are bravely doing the same. To get to touch base weekly with this dream — which for me is something so often overlooked, put at the bottom of priorities, doubted & questioned. serve was a space where this green little thing could actually be nurtured, fertilised & protected. To also see that you’re not alone with this dream. Witnessing both the struggles & rising of others was beautiful to watch. For me I also really needed the granular level of strategy & serve more than provided that framework.

Alison has completely changed the way that I think about marketing my service business. I used to feel like I always had to be “on”, always thinking about booking in my next client & always feeling the pressure of showing up on socials. She offered me a way of thinking about marketing & booking clients that’s seasonal, allows me to forecast my revenue & gives me the space to be fully serving my clients without the pressure of looking for new work in the back of my mind. Alison’s strategic business advice never fails to impress me with the level of her expertise & thoughtfulness. She’s helped me to strategically price my services & untangle my sense of self-worth from my business, which as a service-provider has been a difficult hurdle for me.
co-creator 2024
The content was big, broad & beautiful. It felt like a survey course for founders with many touch points that could be followed down the track. I thought some of the early spiritual/philosophical pieces were a great way to get in touch with your why. Probably one of the most helpful areas was how transparent Alison was with her own business. This in itself was beautifully valuable & was one of the most potent learnings. The forms & spreadsheets were a great bonus, too. It’s almost as if serve started a process & then after it finished the forms & structures could carry you forward. There was a momentum that has really pulled me forward in the last few months. I really think I wouldn’t have kept going without it.
co-creator 2024
serve is a game changer for the modern entrepreneur wanting to fast track their start-up planning with concise, proven, valuable, relevant & strategic advice. Each week you will work through foundational business strategy & core concepts in a beautiful group setting with other founders ensuring you are meeting amazing new friends & business contacts (& no doubt your cheerleaders as you leap & land in your new business). I would recommend this program to anyone starting a new business — I wish I did this program before I started out!

the serve scholarship

the serve scholarship

In my ongoing commitment to building a business that — at its foundation — is an act of allyship, one of the most important questions I’ve learned I can ask is: Who isn’t in the room & why?

The serve Scholarship exists to ensure anyone experiencing financial hardship has a pathway to financial stability & independence. Priority is given to Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, people with a disability, domestic violence survivors & single parents.

Write to me to explore a scholarship.

  • can I cancel mid-way through if I'm on a payment plan?

    No, unfortunately you can’t cancel mid-program. When you enrol, you are committing to the full program & investment.

  • how does the scholarship work & how do I apply?

    The idea is that you pay what you can afford or nothing at all if an investment isn’t within your financial means.

    Offline uses this economic justice tool as a guide.

    Alison set the parameters for Offline scholarships after a series of cultural education & awareness sessions. One of the decisions she made after receiving this valuable counsel was to move away from an application process & instead, ask you to explore it with her.

    So if you need a scholarship, she hopes you’ll write to her.

    The serve Scholarship exists for any person experiencing significant financial hardship. Priority is given to Black, Indigenous & People of Colour; & disabled people.

    If you’d like to explore, please write to Alison: support@getoffline.co.

  • are the live sessions recorded?

    Yes. All lessons are recorded & made available within 24 hours.

  • can I access the content after the 12-weeks?

    You will be able to access the serve learning portal for 12 months.
