JUST START NOW® TERMS
The terms and conditions set out below apply to the services offered by Vicky Shilling Ltd for its Just Start Now course and community. Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under law and set out the terms under which Vicky Shilling Ltd (“we”, “our” or “us”) provide services to you, as purchaser of Just Start Now®. These terms are subject to any rights you have under consumer law to which we are bound and which cannot be waived by contract.
"Lifetime Access" means ongoing and complete access to the Just Start Now course for the life of the programme, not for your life or the life of Vicky Shilling. This is ongoing access at no additional charge until the course is no longer offered, at which time all members will be given at least 6 months notice before the programme is closed. Any future closure of the programme or community in the future does not affect the refund policy and does not entitle members to any form of refund.
JUST START NOW® DETAILS
Prior to enrolling into Just Start Now®, you must read these terms and conditions in full. The terms cannot be varied and in proceeding to make your purchase you will be deemed to have accepted the terms.
COURSE AND COMMUNITY OUTLINE
Just Start Now® is an exclusive course and community which provides strategic and streamlined support and guidance to wellness entrepreneurs. The aim of Just Start Now is to provide accountability and clear strategic direction via methods which are simple to implement into business and which allow business owners to take action confidently.
Just Start Now has five core focus pillars around which the training and resources have been created. These are: clarity, packaging and pricing, selling, your sites and connection.
COURSE AND COMMUNITY SPECIFICS
Just Start Now includes access to:
i) Monthly Group Coaching Q&A and Accountability Calls
ii) Resource Library
iii) Private Circle community
Monthly Group Coaching Q&A and Accountability Calls
Each month there will be one live Q&A session and one live accountability session led by Vicky Shilling, Wellness Business Mentor who specialises in creating sustainable, scalable strategy and marketing systems for businesses in the wellness sector. Vicky has an extensive background in blogging and the health and wellness sector. Vicky’s strengths lie in helping those at the early stages of business (start-up to three years) to consider their marketing options and create strategies which convert into sales.
The coaching and accountability calls will usually be hosted by Vicky or by another professional in the industry. The calls take place according to
this schedule via Zoom (usually for 60 minutes) and will provide a structured environment in which to assess and plan goals and actions, or provide the opportunity for members to ask questions and get support live. In advance of the calls, members are encouraged to post questions in the Facebook group so that you can obtain support throughout the month, between live calls.
The aim of the live calls is to provide members with business strategy, information and tools for them to use to grow and develop their business and also to provide accountability and the opportunity to ask questions. Each person’s business approach is individual and personal to them and their business and whilst the strategies and techniques will provide help and support, it is not intended that one live training session will provide a complete change or resolution to any problems. Business strategy is something which is ongoing and it will be each member’s personal responsibility to apply what is shared and taught in the Just Start Now® course and community to their personal circumstances.
Vicky Shilling makes no guarantees or claims as to the success of any participant in the course and community. The aim is to provide ongoing support, discuss evidence-based marketing strategies and provide a welcoming environment to discuss any difficulties or blocks which arise from time to time in business.
Access to Training Resources via the Resource Library
Just Start Now® is designed to support wellness entrepreneurs and small business owners with practical and mindset support to start, grow and scale their business. Shortly after enrolling you will be granted access to the resources area which is filled with 50+ hours of pre-recorded training tutorials.
The training material is structured to support you with finding clarity on who you serve, packaging up and pricing your offers and connecting effectively with ideal customers. Some of the tutorials have more of a coaching focus, whereas other tutorials provide screen-by-screen ‘how-to’ teaching and guidance.
Once you enroll in the course you have open access to all resources without restriction. It is recommended that you review the resources and work through them at your own pace. The resources have been created as a result of hours of training and coaching entrepreneurs and it is anticipated that the resources are comprehensive and cover all key areas of running a business. As a result, there will not be new resources added each month. Should there be an area in which you need additional support, then please make a request and further training can be added if required.
Private Circle Community
Members will have access to a private Circle community to support them as part of their access to the Just Start Now® course. The intention of the Circle group is to provide a community support network and enhance the course experience.
From time to time Vicky Shilling may post in the group and offer support but there is no guarantee that posts will be responded to or a Circle mailbox monitored. The substantive coaching support will be delivered in the monthly live coaching sessions.
Please be aware that as Vicky Shilling does not own exclusive rights to access Circle, no guarantees can be made that the Circle group will be available at any specific time.
PAYMENT TERMS
The cost of Just Start Now® is €1720 if paid in full, or €1800 paid in 6 monthly instalments of €300. If paying by instalment, payment will be taken automatically each month via standing order from the account you choose when you enrol into the programme. There is no joining fee.
The additional sums attached to the payment by instalment option do not represent a penalty credit sum but reflect the cost for the administrative time which the Mentor is required to pay for the additional steps taken to manage payments by instalment.
In accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Client is confirming to pay the entire programme fee which will total €1,800 if payment by instalment is sought. There will not be a refund, discount or option for part-payment of services if the Client decides not to proceed with using the course and community services.
