when you started your wellness journey, I’m guessing you were like most makers and…

Had a {health issue} & found that elderberry was super effective

Were looking for a remedy that wasn’t full of junk.

Wanted a more affordable, better-tasting product than what you found in the grocery store.

Got curious about helping others who felt the same. 

I’m just curious…

Have you ever thought about how you could keep your friends & family healthy and create a little part-time (or even full-time) income with your handmade elderberry products?

It would allow you to…

  • Have peace of mind paying your bills each month
  • Offset the cost for your children’s extracurricular activities
  • Save for retirement
  • Allow you to eat out every once in a while
  • Indulge in a shopping trip
  • Go on a vacation
  • Donate to your favorite charities more often
  • Invest in self-care
  • Build your dream home

Maybe you have, but the thought of it makes you feel…

...Anxious & Overwhelmed

Knowing the what, who, how and when can be intimidating. Getting started with the right tools at the right time is important.

Worried that no one will buy

Uncertainty can keep us from taking the first step but with the right systems in place, you’ll sell your first bottle (or your first full case) in no time.

 

...stifled with indecision

There are many different ways you can sell homemade elderberry products. Have clearly defined goals and a roadmap will help you jumpstart and keep you focused.

Nervous because you're not salesy

It’s a common concern. Some people aren’t good with numbers, meeting new people, or even good at the whole sales and marketing thing. But all of those people are selling their homemade products successfully, despite their insecurities.

I GET IT! I WAS THERE TOO.

Hi! I’m trish.

In 2009, I was slaving away in corporate America with a goal of hanging up my. heels. I had a natural wellness hobby that I turned into a side hustle where I learned invaluable lessons along the way.

Over the years, part-time gig grew into full-time income, designing it in a way that the business fit my lifestyle, and not the other way around. 

What helped me along the way was a clear pathway for success and an indestructible abundance-based mindset. You know, a step-by-step guide of how step into a genuine elderberry entrepreneur. Like how to:

*Create and achieve goals
*Design easy-to-use sales and marketing tools
*Leverage systems to ensure that I was always profitable 

I worked my business part time for 7 years, flipped my income and said “buh-bye” to the traditional 9-5. Fast forward, I continue to work part-time, but now with full-time income, truly living my life by design. 

Now, I share my systems with budding elderberry entrepreneurs like you.

A little bit more about me…
Since 2009, I’ve launched and scaled 7 unique recession and pandemic-proof businesses alongside my corporate 9-5 career as a digital marketer – including my elderberry business.

During that journey, I’ve been featured on podcasts, in virtual summits, private speaking engagements and at other public events, coaching hundreds of other entrepreneurs who want to do the same.  

As 20 year wellness coach, educator and practitioner with numerous holistic health certifications, I bring to you a very also have a unique perspective that blends my business savvy with my passion for natural health.

Frequently asked questions

Is this right for me if I have an established business?

Yes! This program will help make sure you’ve filled all of the gaps and give you inspiration for ways to do business that you haven’t thought about before.

Can You Explain the Price in Detail?

The Elderberry Maker Business Academy is financially accessible to all makers and offered in 3 ways that fit the needs of different businesses. Here’s a guide to help you determine what’s right for you. 

New business (<1 year): Monthly
Start-up (1-3 years): Annually
Seasoned (3+ years): Lifetime

Do You Give Me Leads or Do the Work For Me?

No, this program is so much more!

I provide you with the exact framework successful elderberry makers use to build a business they love.

The fact is, no two businesses are alike, and telling you exactly what your business should look and feel like would be a major fail. Everyone has a unique brand, style, and way they show up in the world for their unique customer.

The course provides you with amazing tools and resources that teach you exactly how to identify your ideal clients, find the perfect leads based on your business goals, how to build relationships with decision-makers, and land your next deal.

But what you do with those tools is up to you to fill in the blanks for your unique business!

How is this Different from the Free Group?

The Grow Your Elderberry Business group is a highly engaged community-driven resource on Facebook for incredible connection opportunities. There’s great content but it’s messy and requires you to spend hundreds of hours (time you already don’t have) sifting through comments to find just what you’re looking for – still piecing everything together on your own.

The EMBA offers an organized way to guide you through the various parts of the business, step by step, all in one place.

What if I'm scared that I won't succeed

How will you feel when you do?

It’s normal to feel this way. The system works if you do.

 

Will This Work for Other Herbal Businesses?

Yes! While the course is specifically designed for elderberry makers, the principles taught can be extended to other herbal businesses as well. There will be some content that applies only to elderberry entrepreneurs; however, like recipes.

 

How Much Time Will It Take?

Allow for 1-2 weeks per step in your business to learn, take action, and get results.

 

How Much Trish Will I Get?

A lot!
Makers will see me in countless hours of video.

Additionally, you’ll either see me or hear me in our weekly Q&A touchpoints.

What if my competitor is in the EMBA?

EMBA members are of the mindset that there are enough slices of pie to go around for everyone. Competition = scarcity thinking and we know that big maker within miles of each other can thrive right along side one another.

You know…like all of those different kombucha brands and bread companies sitting on store shelves next to one another…

I am not US-based. Can I participate?

Yes! Business and marketing principles are universal. The regulatory areas will apply only to US-based makers though.

I have a specific question - who do I contact?

If you have questions that are not answered on this page, feel free to email us at support@elderberryentrepreneur.com and we will get back to you.

If I don't join now, when can I join again?

Makers in your area are making massive progress every day. You can join at any time. 

I don't love social media - can I still use the course?

Yes! Of course. Many of us built our businesses before social media even existed. For some of us, email was in its infancy.
