Starting a new business can be an overwhelming experience filled with a range of emotions including fear, doubt, nervousness, eagerness, and determination.

Psychologist and entrepreneur, Dr. Charmain Jackman inspires Black and Brown mental health professionals to take their first step into entrepreneurship by weaving together her experiences with lessons learned from coaching clients. Each chapter is designed to take healers through the entrepreneurial journey, from uncovering fears about money and creating a compelling brand story to self-care and well-being for entrepreneurs. Additionally, the self-help book assists in defining ideal clients, pricing products/services, and how to detail operations.

Filled with thoughtful exercises, mindset work, and templates, this guide will help readers feel confident, affirmed, and, most importantly, ready to launch their businesses.
