The Outsiders
Business Incubator

Join us in our flagship mentoring programme focused on implementation support and accountability to help you grow your expert business faster – without sacrificing your personal life to do so.

Are you...?

An experienced
corporate professional

who has hit a ceiling in your career and is looking to build a business to replace (and even exceed) your salary while allowing for the freedom and flexibility that you want for you and your family

A high-achieving individual

who has been successful in your corporate career and now wants to leverage your skills and experience as a leader in your industry in a business that aligns with your passions and values

A driven professional

who is ready to play big and wants the guidance and support to navigate the challenges of building a successful and sustainable business without burning out while doing so

And do any of these scenarios sound familiar...?

You've still got one foot in corporate

not quite ready to go ‘all in’ with your business since you haven’t yet proven to yourself that you have a viable business model that will reliably generate the income that you want.

You're experiencing overwhelm

with all the content you’ve been consuming and all the new things you’ve been learning, not knowing where to focus your time and energy to move forwards in the right direction.

You have created your service business

but you lack the predictability of consistent revenue and you need a more strategic and systematic approach to help you simplify and scale your business to get the results that you’re after.

You’ve come to the right place!

Our programme is designed to help you build a thriving business that aligns with your passions and lifestyle, empowering you to leave behind the confines of the corporate world for good.

If you’re new to One Step Outside, the first step is to work through the Business Academy. This is a self-paced course that will take you through our 5 pillars™ curriculum and ensure that you have solid foundations in place.

Introducing The Outsiders Business Incubator

Here’s what you really need to build a life outside of the 9 to 5 – that no one else is teaching – with a business that supports your lifestyle and gives you the freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment that you’re after...

The 5 pillars™ of building a life outside of the 9 to 5

  1. A clear personal definition of success to shape your strategy and guide your actions
  2. The confidence and resilience to deal with the inevitable ups and downs
  3. The right business model that will get you the results that you want
  4. A strong personal brand that will attract your ideal clients to you
  5. Flexible work-life integration with a business that
    fits around your other priorities

And we’ll help you implement these pillars in your own business inside the Outsiders Business Incubator programme.

Questions about the
Business Incubator

The Outsiders Business Incubator is our flagship mentoring programme that will help you take your ideas to market and ultimately get you to earning a consistent income in your business.

This programme is for experienced corporate professionals who are looking to build their passion project or side hustle into a full-time business, and transition out of their corporate career. They are ambitious, multi-passionate individuals who are looking to create a business that aligns with their lifestyle goals and values.

The Incubator programme provides the coaching, structure, and accountability they need to execute their escape plan and make a successful transition into working for themselves and earning a living from their expert business.

Everyone joining the Incubator is expected to have first completed the Business Academy or to have had a call with Anna to confirm equivalent knowledge and understanding. The Academy is a self-paced course that will take you through the foundational curriculum, which we will then be implementing together in the Incubator. 

(If you’re already generating a consistent revenue from your business as your primary source of income, you might be eligible for the Business Accelerator mastermind.)

The investment in 2023 is £400 (approximately $500, 460€) per month, or you can get 12 months for the price of 10 if you commit to a full year with payment in full.

This includes the weekly accountability and 1:1 support, intimate group coaching, access to the 5 pillars curriculum and complete training archive, plus a supportive community to cheer you on along the way.

As soon as you make your payment, you’ll be able to dive straight into the materials and get your kick-off call set up with Anna.

A programme like this represents an investment of money but also of time and energy. However, the Business Incubator is designed to support you, to simplify and to make things easier for you, rather than to add more on top of an already heavy workload.

Anna’s mentoring support will guide you to focus your limited time on the priorities that will really have an impact, and she’ll also help you to overcome the things that hold you back (like procrastination, shiny objective syndrome, feeling like an imposter…). The strategies, frameworks, and templates will save you time and energy trying to create everything from scratch.

The training archive is available to dip into as and when you need it, while all the live calls are also recorded so that you can catch up if you’re unable to join us live.

We know that there will be ups and downs in your business and in your personal life and we are here to help you prioritise what really matters and get the results that you want.

The programme will take you through tried-and-tested steps, frameworks, tools, exercises, and techniques that have worked for Anna and for countless clients before you. There is no magic formula, no “6 steps to 6 figures” that we can hand you in a pdf and, tada, you’ll be living your dream life. The key here is for you to take ownership of your career, to put in the effort and do the work–and the results will follow.

If you’re still unsure if this is right for you then please book a call to tell me about your specific situation.

The Incubator assumes that you already have your idea and some of the basics in place so that we can focus on ongoing implementation and growth.

If you have a sense that you want to start a business but you’re not sure yet what that business will be, then your first step is to complete the Business Academy. This course will take you through the foundational 5 pillars™ curriculum to help you map out your vision, your ideal clients, and your business model.

The Outsiders Business Incubator is a unique hybrid programme that gives you the intimacy of 1:1 support; the training, frameworks, and structure of a course; and the community of a group programme. Developed and led by Anna Lundberg, it’s built on Anna’s own experience of quitting her job back in 2013 and then building her coaching and consultancy business, and validated by the many members who have gone through the programme and successfully completed their own transition since then.

The unique value of this programme comes in the form of Anna’s holistic and balanced approach to success along with the focus on implementation and accountability to help you actually get the results that you want.

Facebook

We use the conversion tracking and custom audiences via the Facebook pixel on our website. This allows user behaviour to be tracked after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook ad and enables us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook ads. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, who may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

We use a number of third parties to provide us with services which are necessary to run our business or to assist us with running our business and who process your information for us on our behalf. These include a hosting and email provider (Siteground), mailing list provider (GetResponse), and a payment provider (Stripe).

Your information will be shared with these service providers only where necessary to enable us to run our business.

How long we maintain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
