You know your product.
Now it’s time to profit from it in the biggest sales season of the year.
You’ve poured your heart (and probably your savings) into your product.

Traci Channer, THE DECIDED COLLECTION
Carlyn's Spring POP Academy was an absolute game- changer for me. As a first-time product-based business owner, was completely overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Carlyn broke everything down into simple, actionable systems that immediately made sense, and more importantly, work. By the end of the confident, organized, and equipped with tools I now use every single month (and will use every year) to keep my business on track. If you're about to launch or in your first years of running a product-based business, do yourself a favor and take this class. It's not just information, it's a blueprint for success! Thank you Carlyn!
