Powered by Gmax Card, Brand Backie, Getshop Today, and in partnership with Tide, this bootcamp takes you from: **Idea → Banked → Online Store Live → Multi-Platform Ready** By Sunday evening, you don’t leave with slides. **You leave with:** • A live Tide business account • A fully built independent online store • Marketplace integrations (Temu / eBay / TikTok Shop depending on model) • An AI marketing system installed and configured • 12–18 months of core infrastructure free This is not passive learning. This is guided implementation under pressure — bootcamp style. **🗓 Day 1 – Founder Strategy & Qualification** Bootcamp begins with clarity. You will break down: • How modern eCommerce ecosystems actually work • Product model selection (own products vs dropshipping) • Multi-platform revenue strategy • AI-powered demand generation systems • Why some stores fail — and others scale At the end of Day 1, you decide whether to enter the Founder Track.

In these sessions, we will start to cultivate a relationship with our breath, so that we are able to work WITH it and USE it day to day, developing an inner sense of presence, self connection and resilience so that we are better equipped to navigate 'life'. We will also explore techniques to deepen and expand our relationship with our selves, others and with our past through our breath, and experience a guided conscious connected breathwork journey to release emotional blockages and tap into our inner wisdom for clarity, healing and transformation. You may experience a profound shift in your consciousness, deep inner healing and letting go, and a (re)connection with your true, authentic self. This event is ideal for those interested in self-help and self-evolution, energy healing, and exploring the depths of their spiritual nature. These workshops offer you a supportive space to let go of limiting beliefs, rejuvenate your energy, and awaken to the full potential of your being. Whether you are new to breathwork or have been practicing for years, this session will offer you a unique opportunity to dive deep into the healing power of your breath About Kate - Kate first experienced the incredible healing and transformational power of her own breath in 2016. Blown away by the insight, clarity and deep inner healing that unfolded in just one session, she went on to train with Transformational Breath and to then get certified as an Alchemy of Breath Facilitator in 2018. She has explored many modalities including Rebirthing and Holotropic, but primarily follows the Alchemy of Breath philosophy to breathwork, taking an intuitive approach to holding space for whatever wants to unfold and encouraging breathers to listen first and foremost to their own body and intuition, and to allow their breath to guide them wherever it is they need to go. Kate believes that we are our own healers, and that if we can simply breathe – here – now – and be willing and open to receive – then we can connect with that inner knowing, our eternal wisdom, and find all the answers we are looking for, all of the resolution we crave, and all of the guidance we need, to step forward in alignment with our true self, resourced and able to live our very best life. **General House keeping - Please read!** Please kindly make payment by bank transfer of £15 upon booking to secure your spot directly as spaces are limited to 5 per session.
