I did a lot of research through the ThriveHer website and Freedom from Corporate Facebook group before signing up for the Passport program, reviewing all the freely available resources. I reached out to get what was advertised as an offer review, only to find myself in what I now know is a "triage call" for the Passport program. I wanted to know what value the program provided above and beyond what I had already garnered from my copious review, and was sold on the program through a no-risk, no-interest credit card to cover the cost of the $12,500 tuition, since they guarantee you will make your money back or they will work with you until you do. I did the program to a T, and was even the top learner on the leaderboard during my time in the program. I did NOT make my money back during the program, so I asked for them to honor their guarantee, which meant I got access to group coaching calls with a later cohort and additional sales call logging and documentation requirements to meet their guarantee. I still kept up with all that, and still did not make my money back by the end of this second go round, because the sales coaching and approach, frankly, is ineffective and consisted of someone just commenting on an excel spreadsheet without ever witnessing any actual sales activity, no actual coaching on what you are doing, what's working and what's not working. You were expected to coach yourself through recording your calls. I recognized I was just wasting time with this approach and started taking a different route, combining skills I had from my previous experience in fitness consulting and what I had learned earlier in my career from developing sales and BDN training in the automotive industry. By the time July rolled around, a month after I was asked to leave the program, I started to make money. But how I went about securing more connections, clients and profits had nothing to do with what I learned in the Passport program. I don't know anyone in my cohort who made their money back during their time in the program, and they blamed themselves rather than the program making false promises and being ineffective. As someone whose expertise is in learning design, I can't in good faith recommend this program to anyone.

I left a six-figure role for this program. I went from corporate to consulting, with no prior experience. Approximately 10 months after signing up, I want to share my experience, so others have realistic expectations going into a $12,500+ program. For me, it took much longer than a month or two to establish myself. Unless you have a preexisting network, you've set the business up prior to beginning the program, or you've been in business on a part-or full-time basis for a bit prior to joining… Expect the process to take time and money. Year-to-date, notwithstanding the cost of this program, I have spent $8,297.67 on my business, before submitting my expenses for last month. My revenue to date: $450. I want you to take away two things: 1. It costs less than the charge of the program to get your business started, which I recommend before joining ThriveHer Passport and 2. There are pretty impactful costs incurred before you begin to fill your pipeline, outside of joining this program. Because ThriveHer is explicitly not a certified therapist, accounting service, or legal aid provider; it is imperative, in my opinion, to obtain assistance from these specialists early on. Their services can be expensive, but they are necessary, especially if you have a sizable number of personal assets as I did; you want to protect yourself upfront and avoid costly tax penalties. Getting the business set up, and set up correctly- the LLC, tech, website, accounting, etc. is not something you can overlook. I have been very conservative with spending, sticking to essentials needed to get myself started. I have relied on a ton of people in my network who have helped me free of charge with their services until I turn more profit, to avoid spending more money. These people are IT, CPA/Accounting (2x, one for taxes and the other to set up Quick Books) and a lawyer. As part of the overall business spend (the $8,297.67 dollar figure), $2,500 went toward supplemental marketing resources. As other reviewers mention, Phase 2 of this program really leaves out the kind of concrete guidance I felt I needed to establish a sales pipeline, put offers together, and transact business. I actually had to consult other more established consultants (3-20 years’ experience) in my field to gain a better understanding of how to price and position my services. After following the program point-for-point in Phase 1 and realizing with my sales/marketing background I would waste precious time following some of the guidance provided in Phase 2, I began to seek out aforementioned resources. In my experience, my personal consultant colleagues provided better, more current, relevant, and actionable advice and referrals than I received in this program. Even after getting into a groove, starting a business, which is what you're doing as a consultant- takes time. Lots and lots of time. I personally believe there is no way around this and every successful solopreneuer I know doesn't flinch at the amount of time you spend during your first year. I take 5-8 meetings some days. I work early mornings and late nights and my schedule fluctuates constantly. The more time I spend on my business, the more results I see. The opposite has been true for me as well. When you're not in meetings, you're preparing for them, building content, sourcing new leads, managing business overhead, networking and working projects. For me, these activities not only take a lot of time, but also drain you mentally; sometimes more than working a corporate job. While the sweat, blood, and tears have all been worth it; I had no idea exactly what I was in for when I began my journey. I did meet a lot of amazing women who joined ThriveHer Passport. However, after attending several networking events and conferences (a handful at no charge or under $100), I realize the $12,500 price tag is too high for me to even justify the value of the network in this program. This is only my experience. There were others who joined the program and saw more immediate results. Some women had their business set up already, some had warm business leads prior to entering the program, and some were in business for a year or two before they joined. I am none of those women. I am one who started from scratch and tried to use this program as a launch pad to transition from corporate to consulting. I was disappointed in my results for the investment and felt the program was not a good fit for where I was and what I needed. If I had to do it over again, I would pass.

There is a lot to appreciate about the Thrive Her program, but I have encountered some significant issues. Firstly, for a program centered on empowering women, I find it puzzling that Jim Huling plays such a prominent role. While he may be successful and well-regarded by Trisha Dempsey, his presence as a white male seems incongruous with the program's focus on women’s empowerment. Additionally, his frequent references to Stephen Covey do not resonate with participants who are unfamiliar with Covey's work. Secondly, I was taken aback by the suggestion to price my product at $12,500—the exact cost of the Thrive Her program, which they guarantee participants will earn back. It seems this “magic number” was not uniquely recommended to me, raising questions about its appropriateness for different markets. Lastly, I was informed that my program guarantee was voided after missing a deadline. I have proof that I was hospitalized, but the lack of curiosity about why I missed the deadline and instead taking the opportunity to void my guarantee diminished what trust I had left in the program.
