How Business Class helped me build a more confident, profitable business

5/25/2025

My path to becoming a full-time entrepreneur wasn’t exactly a straight line. I got laid off (twice), turned my design skills into a side hustle that brought in some pocket money, and slowly grew it into something much bigger. Some days felt exciting, like I was really making progress, and other days felt like I was spinning my wheels. 😵‍💫​

In 2022, something shifted. My business grew by 50%, and I honestly credit a big part of that to investing in Business Class, Sophia Amoruso’s business mentorship program. If you don’t know Sophia, she’s the OG Girlboss—the founder of Nasty Gal and author of the bestselling book by the same name. She built a massive brand from scratch and knows what it’s like to be in the trenches of entrepreneurship.

When I first went full-time, I realized quickly that being a designer wasn’t enough—I had to run an actual business. And that part? Not my strong suit at the time. I started learning everything I could, especially from women who had already done it, and that’s what led me to Business Class. What I love about this program is that it doesn’t just focus on the shiny stuff—it digs into the foundational things we tend to avoid (like contracts, taxes, and how to actually structure your business). But Sophia makes even the complicated things easy to understand. There are templates, cheat sheets, and real-world examples that helped me feel less intimidated and more in control.

You also get access to her community, The Lounge, which has been such a game-changer. It’s full of smart, generous people who are building cool things, and it’s been one of the most encouraging online spaces I’ve been part of. I didn’t realize how much I needed that kind of support until I had it.
​
The course itself is beautifully designed (no surprise there), and packed with valuable content: hours of core training, expert interviews, live calls, and tons of bonus material. Everything is thoughtfully put together and continues to evolve with each round. You can tell it wasn’t thrown together—it’s intentional and super useful.

If you’ve been thinking about starting or leveling up your business, and want a solid roadmap (plus an inspiring community to help you stay motivated), I can’t recommend Business Class enough. And if you sign up through my link, I’ll send you my DIY Brand Glow-Up course (normally $500) as a free bonus. It’s designed to help you look polished and professional from the start, so you can feel confident putting yourself out there.
