HI! My name is Amira McLaughlin.
Creating courses to support women new business owners grow professionally and personally is my passion. I love, love, love creating courses. And online courses are one of the best ways for women entrepreneurs everywhere to receive the support they need to grow and expand their businesses.
I am a former NYC Public School Teacher with a Masters in Education. However, I have owned businesses online and offline for many years. Through successes and failures - yes, failures - I have learned some things along the way that I am sharing.
I aim to support women business owners to grow a business they absolutely love while taking great care of themselves along the way by reducing stress, eliminating overwhelm, and avoiding burnout. I hope my courses assist you in any one or all of these areas.
One of my mantras is: “Be patient, pace yourself, and keep going!” I say this to myself often; it serves as a reminder and motivates me. I encourage new women business owners to commit this to memory because entrepreneurial success is a longer road than one can imagine, but it is worth every step of the road less traveled.
Stay on course, and I’ll see you in the course...
