90-DAY BUILD & LAUNCH ACCELERATOR
Design, build, and prepare to launch a customized membership group that creates sustainable income and long-term influence for your business.
How do I continue serving the people I've already helped?
If you're a speaker, trainer, coach, consultant, or author, you've probably lived this cycle. You prepare, present, coach, facilitate, inspire, and watch people experience meaningful breakthroughs. Then the event ends, the coaching engagement concludes, and you begin looking for the next opportunity to serve.
There is nothing wrong with that business model. It has helped countless professionals build successful careers. Yet many eventually realize that the greatest transformation rarely happens during a single event. It happens afterward, when people continue learning, asking questions, applying ideas, and growing together.

Several years ago, I found myself asking a simple question: "What happens after they leave the room?"
I didn't want the learning to end when a workshop was over. I wanted people to continue growing together, encouraging one another, and applying what they had learned. That realization changed how I viewed membership groups.
Since then, I've built multiple membership groups that are continuing to grow, deepen the work, and create recurring revenue while I sleep and travel.
Membership groups are a great way to build your business while increasing influence, impact, and income.
I stopped thinking about memberships as subscriptions and started thinking about them as communities. Communities where conversations continue, relationships deepen, accountability grows, and transformation has the time it needs to take root.
By the end of the Accelerator, you'll decide and create these:
Precisely define who your membership is designed to serve.
Map out the exact transformation you want members to experience.
Design the format and structure that best fits your business model, needs, and schedule.
Develop a pricing and value model that ensures long-term sustainability.
Outline clear engagement plans and content delivery structures, that work best for you.
Select and integrate the platforms that smoothly support your vision, including free and low-cost options to get started.
Finalize your marketing approach to attract your founding members.
A comprehensive, built-out membership group that is ready to launch, with class members helping you get the word out.
This is not simply an educational program. It's an implementation accelerator. Beginning September 14, every step is designed to help you move from ideas to action. If it works for you, and feels right, you could launch your membership group as a Black Friday 2026 sale. OR, launch in January 2027 when people are thinking about joining groups the most.
Consume the core instructional curriculum on your own schedule, building the conceptual foundation for your customized membership.
Gather with peers and experts to answer questions, celebrate progress, solve unique challenges, and apply principles directly to your business.
Walk away from each module with practical, completed assets and exercises that move your membership from a concept to a launch-ready asset.

Instead, you'll build a membership that reflects your values, your strengths, and the people you are uniquely called to serve.
Instructional video modules to watch on your own time frame
4 Live 90-minute implementation Zoom sessions
Implementation exercises
Reflection activities
Knowledge checks
Community discussions and support (lots of encouragement and celebration along the way)

Accelerator Begins September 14
Register by August 28 at 11:59 p.m. EST and receive a complimentary 30-minute one-on-one consultation with Michelle Burkhard about your unique situation.
Registration remains open through September 14, space permitting.
If you've been thinking about creating a membership group, this is your opportunity to stop wondering where to begin and start building with confidence.
Over the next 90 days you'll make thoughtful decisions, receive practical guidance, and create a membership that reflects your business instead of someone else's. At the end of the Accelerator you won't simply understand membership groups. You'll have one that is designed, built, and ready to launch.
We would be honored to walk alongside you as you build something that serves your audience well, strengthens your business, and expands your impact for years to come.
Space is limited. Secure your spot today.
