THE AUTHENTIC BUSINESS SCHOOL

The ''cool'' business school to provide you with the education and the support you've been searching for to finally become self-employed and start making money by doing what you love.

The Authentic Business School is a group busness coaching program teaching you business foundations and giving you a roadmap to become self-employed and build your authentic business.

WHAT IS ABS?

The Authentic Business School is a 6-month all-round educational group coaching program that will provide you with the business foundations knowledge you need, the mindset and the creative approach to bring your idea into action. Oh, and like-minded friends to share this journey with and grow together.

THE CURRICULUM

The Authentic Business School is equipped with the 6 most important subjects for creating an authentic business.

SELF FINDING
Unlike any other business school we start by focusing on yourself first. Authentic businesses are created by aligning your work to who you truly are and your purpose. This first module will give you clarity and confidence around you interests, passions, skills and values in life.
1
DESIGN THINKING
The methodology I use in life and business is anchored in the process of Design Thinking. As a part of the curriculum I'll teach you the rules, the mindset and the basics of Design Thinking which will enhance your creative confidence as an entrepreneur and make you an outstanding problem solver.
2
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
No matter if you already have a clear business idea to work on or you're still wondering how to pack your skills together into a service - I've got you covered! We'll spend a whole month into research and ideation to come up with your own unique service/product.
3
BRANDING
Branding is probably the most important step of building a business. Here we'll focus not only on your visual representation - the colours, the fonts, your photographic style and your logo, but we'll clarify the core of your branding and the main messaging and copy you'll use on your website.
4
MARKETING STRATEGIES
We live in the age of digital marketing and social media so knowing how to use these platforms in your benefit is key. We'll tap into planning and strategyzing your content but also feeling fun and authentic when speaking about your services! And yes, we'll cover offline marketing as well!
5
SALES + PRICING
What if I tell you sales don't need to feel bad and icky? In the end of our school program we'll learn how to get confident and creative when it comes to selling your own products and services. You'll learn how to put a price tag on your work and how to lead a sales conversation authentically.

You want to live a more aligned and freedom-based lifestyle, you want to travel more, to learn new things, to express yourself and the only thing that's stopping you is the fear of''How am I going to make any money?''.
You have realised that your Bachelor's degree is not exactly what you ACTUALLY want to do in life but you have no idea how to pivot now.
You really want to quit your job and you have this idea in your head for quite some time now but you don't know where to start and feel afraid people are going to make fun of you.
You have multiple different interests and don't want to stick to ''just one'' but rather do all of them.
You've been working freelance a bit already but it feels like a prison and constant anxiety much more than actual free and cool way of living.

WHY I CREATED ''The Authentic Business School''

THE MISSION

I know exactly how you feel because I've been there! What I've written above is exactly where I was 3,5 years ago. And back then I didn't know a program, place or person I can reach out to to give me the needed knowledge to start my business and mainly - break my limiting beliefs.

That's why I created ''The Authentic Business School'' - to be your support on this amazing journey, to provide you with all business / entrepreneurship knowledge in one place, to share with you my experience and provide you with other like-minded classmates on the way, because - well the entrepreneurial journey can be quite lonely sometimes.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

THIS DREAM WAS PLANTED IN YOUR HEART FOR A REASON!

Seriously! And you're shying away from it just because you're scared. Well, good that you found your way here. It's time to stop procrastinating on this amazing idea you have and start taking action - because the world needs your contribution. Together we'll get the clarity of your vision, break all your limiting beliefs and learn business foundations to start making it true!

WHAT MY STUDENTS SAY:

Vihra's ability to light up rooms, faces and hearts is truly unique. I felt deeply understood and valued throughout my entire journey with her and I'm so grateful that I had the courage to reach out and finally start this process. Not only has she helped me to create a strong and sustainable foundation for my business, but she has also thought me to see myself with much kinder and more generous eyes. I truly feel that what I was able to create under her gentle yet energetic guidance will last me years. I wholeheartedly recommend this journey to everyone, no matter where you're at in your business – having Vihra by your side is an invaluable advantage!

I worked with Vihra for 6 months, completing the program KYB (baby of ABS). For me, this was time for transformation, time for facing my fears and discovering my hidden talents and passions. In Vihra I found the accountability partner that I needed to take the necessary steps towards the change. The program is very well structured and covers all aspects of creating a business. Step by step, it helps you build the solid base for your business and a create a detailed action plan towards making your dreams reality. Now, 6 months later, not only I feel much more confident and fulfilled, but I also have a clear action plan and know where I'm going.
Teodora Valentino
Marketing Coach
Working with Vihra is a transformation in itself. Being always supported by her kindness, honesty and warmth, you feel that whatever you're going through is ok. You really see how you can achieve your goals and visions in a way that is aligned with your values, your energy and your being. The program really helped me discover new parts of myself, gain more self-trust and confidence, and simply design the life I craved for! Moving from unclarity to excitement about my business was a long, but very powerful journey, and I urge everyone who feel the calling, to step into this transformation! :)
