From Roots to Rocket: Everything You Need to Launch Your Dream Business

You have the idea. You have the passion. But where do you actually START? Maybe you're lying awake at night, overwhelmed by all the things you "should" be doing:

• "I need an LLC... or is it an S-Corp?"
• "I should be on social media... but what do I even say?"
• "There must be resources out there... but where?"
• "Everyone else seems to have it figured out... why can't I just START?"

Sound familiar? Here's the truth: You don't need another motivational speech. You need a manual—a real, step-by-step guide that takes you from "I have this idea" to "I'm actually doing this."

Here’s the plan:

🌱 Roots: Learn about the value of community from a trauma-informed expert. Build your foundation with real Delaware small business resources and connect with fellow entrepreneurs who get it. Because trying to launch alone is like planting a tree in a pot that's too small.

⚡ Fuel: Discover how to talk about your business without sounding salesy or awkward. Marketing 101 that actually makes sense for someone just starting out. No jargon. No overwhelming strategies. Just "here's how you tell people what you do and why it matters."

🚀 Rocket: Get actual tools to blast through the perfectionism, fear, and that voice saying "who am I to do this?" From a former rocket scientist who knows that launching a business is actually easier than launching a spacecraft (seriously).

Learn directly from local experts who've been where you are:

• Maddy from (trauma-informed community connection specialist)
• Rachel & Patrick from (marketers who've built a brand from scratch)
• Coach (rocket scientist turned elite performance coach)

Plus direct access to cornerstone business partners—state resources for small businesses, banking experts, financial planners, insurance specialists, and more. These aren't sales pitches; they're real resources here to help you succeed.

Check out the lineup below for the full list of resources!

You’ll leave with:

✅ Real business support resources and contacts

✅ Marketing strategies you can implement TOMORROW

✅ A proven system to stop overthinking and start doing
