Does this sound like you, chica? →

What you need are smaller steps!

* You have an adventure burning inside you that you just can’t seem to bring to fruition?
* You just can’t seem to find the time to do it?
* You think it’s too big of a dream?

Start Where YOU Are

With what you have. Do what only you can do!

Take one small step at a time!

You have to start somewhere, and it might as well be right where you are.

This program teaches you to start where you are, even when you’re scared shitless, stuck in overwhelm, and don’t know where to begin to make your dreams come true.

It all comes down to dreaming BIG but embracing the power of small steps, using the “Start with 5 minutes” method that you’ll learn in this online course.

Start Where YOU Are is NOT an academic-type program on habit formation, there’s enough of that out there. The approach we'll take is all about doing, taking one tiny step each day, so that at the end of the program, you are already 30 days INTO your adventure.

Creator, CEO & Founder of The Mangrove Concept

Susanna Neleman

Start Where YOU are is created by Susanna Neleman, the creative mind behind the quirky business babe blog formerly known as The Ecotourist.

Her mission is to help you realise your highest potential, own your powerful story, and make a scene with your gifts and talents.

She enjoys hiking in the South of France, throwing Brazilian and Spanish words in the middle of her blog posts, and cooking healthy food for friends and family. When she’s not behind her trusty laptop, you can find her doing yoga, reading naughty books, and being her own quirky self.

Most importantly, she believes in you and knows that YOU CAN DO THIS. You are READY for ADVENTURE, or else you wouldn’t be here. ;-)

Start building the life you know you want.

If you’re ready to, FINALLY, give yourself permission to start from where YOU are, then let’s do this. Let go of those limiting beliefs that hold you back. YOU GOT THIS, chica!

Show up for yourself AND your dreams

Start living your life for you. Demonstrate to yourself each day that you can show up for what’s important. One small step at a time.

FAQ

  • What is the format?

    Every Sunday, your weekly module will be made available in the learning centre as 7 lessons, and workbooks (if applicable), along with daily “Take 5” prompts to help you get started on those small steps you need to take to realise your dreams.

  • I'm super busy right now. What if I don't have time to take the course now?

    A module will be delivered each week for four weeks (plus bonus) with exercises and “pep talks” for each day of the week but is up to you when you start. You have this content forever. And you can take the course entirely at your own pace.

  • How much time will I need?

    I always say you will get out as much as you put in. I recommend you set aside about a 1hr each day for your content, worksheets & Take 5’s. At a minimum, set aside 5-15 minutes to get started on your adventure, each and every day!

  • Can you guarantee specific results?

    What you put into this, you’ll get out of it. I can’t guarantee any concrete results. Still, I’m sure that if you commit to allowing yourself to explore your dreams, with a spirit of curiosity, you’ll learn more about yourself and how to get what you want, without having to change everything about yourself. Start Where YOU Are!

  • Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

    As with everything I offer, your purchase of Start Where You Are is non-refundable. If you’re wondering if this is the right program for you, please take time to familiarize yourself with my work before investing (I recommend starting at my blog )

  • What can I expect from this course?

    Personal empowerment as you work to realise your dreams, as well as practical worksheets and action steps. I’m a big believer in going for your dreams in small, doable steps, so that’s what this course is all about. Dreaming big and taking small steps to get there, while enjoying the journey! Start Where YOU Are is designed to teach you how to take a step each day and turn your dreams into REALITY.

  • Will the course expire? Do I need to do it all by a specific time?

    No deadline. No expiration date. The course is all yours! Plus, you get access to any updates I add for future editions of this course. So, don’t worry if you get behind. You can even take the course multiple times to help you create a road map for your new adventures.

  • Is there anyone who shouldn't take this program?

    This work will transform your life (and business) if you show up fully and wholeheartedly. If you are not ready for change, or not yet willing to take responsibility for where you are in your life and take small steps toward your dreams, it is probably not for you. The program is founded on the power of self-responsibility and reclamation of personal power – neither of these are possible if you are not ready to take action. If you want someone else to do the work for you, or you are looking for a quick fix, magical unicorn changes, or have someone tell you all the answers – this program is not for you. If you are not open to exploring how you can take a small step each day, then this program is probably not for you.

  • I’ve bought other courses before and have been disappointed. What makes yours different?

    Since I started this journey, thinking I didn’t have anything worth sharing because nothing was ever good enough – you can imagine how I value quality. Everything I share in this course is based on the tools that have helped me Start where I am (or was). It wasn’t something I came up with yesterday. No, it has been and continues to be, a process. I share these helpful ideas and tools with you from a place of integrity. Because I really want you to experience the feeling you get when you finally understand that you matter, your dreams do too, and that showing up for yourself every day is vital. I always do this from a place of realness. I’m not promising over the top results, I’m showing you that you can be there for yourself, make mistakes and get up again, all the while having fun with it. My motivation is to give you a course that you can return to, every time you need a little help to get your dream going, starting with 5 minutes every day.
