Conscious Business Connections
Friend of The Pledgettes, Kristin McGinnis is offering the Pioneer Membership.
For entrepreneurs launching their businesses, navigating the early stages can be overwhelming—setting up an LLC, managing bookkeeping, and handling quarterly tax payments are just the beginning. Conscious Business Connections (CBC) offers the Pioneer Membership, a comprehensive program designed to support conscious entrepreneurs in building a solid foundation for sustainable success.
This membership provides two flexible pathways: a guided cohort experience for those who thrive with structure and community, and a self-paced DIY option for those who prefer to move at their own speed.
Members start as Explorers, focusing on the inner work needed to align their business with their values. From there, they become Pioneers, implementing practical business strategies while integrating sustainable practices, energy management, and conscious leadership.
Pioneer Members receive expert guidance on:
✅ Setting up an LLC & Business Structure
✅ Bookkeeping & Financial Organization
✅ Managing Quarterly Tax Payments
✅ Sustainable Business Practices & Energy Management
✅ Visionary Planning & Aligning with Higher Purpose
This isn’t just about checking off business to-dos—it’s about building a conscious, thriving business from the ground up. Whether you prefer a structured, community-driven cohort or a self-paced learning journey, the Pioneer Membership provides the tools and support needed to navigate the critical early stages of entrepreneurship.
