Kathy Goughenour here … You know I’m always on the lookout for the latest and greatest way to help you achieve your goals. When I discovered Bootstrap Cohort, I knew it was the next step for Virtual Experts® wanting to grow in 2025. That’s why I’m bringing this new program to you!
Custom Consulting On Tap
As a business owner, you face many challenges – late nights, never-ending to-do lists, the constant pressure to succeed and not knowing where to start. You don’t have to go at it alone anymore. Bootstrap Cohort is a space for you to connect with other driven business owners. You receive expert advice, a supportive community, tools and the personalized attention you need to thrive — all without breaking the bank.
Each meeting is tailored specifically for the cohort. You decide the path we go down and what information you need to decide the next steps for your business.Â
This is not a course or a class. It is custom consulting for the group. We use straightforward language, avoiding unnecessary jargon, to ensure you can easily understand and apply it to your business.
If that was not value enough, we take it one step further and provide monthly one-on-one personalized meetings where we take concepts and work with you to mold them to your individual business needs. All wrapped up in a supportive community of business owners.

How Bootstrap Cohort Works
What sets this Bootstrap Cohort apart is our approach. Each cohort meeting is tailored specifically to your needs.
We use straightforward language, avoiding unnecessary jargon, to ensure you can easily understand and apply to your own business.
Group Format
This is not a generic course or class; it’s personalized consulting in a group format. You have the power to shape the direction we take and determine the topics discussed to make informed decisions for your business.Â
We take it a step further by creating a community. While the entrepreneurial journey can be exhilarating, it can also be demanding and isolating. Having business friends who understand your struggles makes a massive difference in your business and life.
We build comradery through a group chat. Here, you will find like-minded individuals who become a sounding board for ideas, offering valuable perspectives and constructive feedback. Moreover, they offer a shoulder to lean on during difficult times, providing emotional solace and reminding you that you are not alone in your struggles.
Your consultant will be in the chat as well and provide value adds during your cohort journey.
One-On-One Consultation
We don’t stop there. We go the extra mile by offering monthly one-on-one, personalized meetings. During these sessions, we take concepts and work with you to mold them to suit your individual business needs. And all of this is wrapped up in a supportive community of like-minded business owners who are eager to share insights help you identify blind spots, and mutually benefit from meaningful conversations that propel your growth.
Joining this cohort will give you access to expert advice, private 1:1 meetings, and the ability to connect with like-minded small business owners.
