What can you expect from Business Blast?

Since each Business Blast participant may be at a different stage in the development of their business, this intimate workshop setting meets you where you are. Prior to the first class, each girl completes a detailed questionnaire to give the Female Strong team and mentors a clear understanding of where you are with your business and what specific goals you'd like to accomplish through the workshop. 


Founders who enroll in Business Blast must be willing to dedicate three to five hours per week on progressing their business outside of weekly meetings.
