One day. One founder. One operationally launch-ready business.
Walk in with an idea.
Walk out with a business built to earn.
Seven focused hours at the IGNITE Center in Norcross, GA. You bring the idea — even a rough one. We build your business, not a template. By 4:30 PM you'll have a business formed and filing-ready, a simple way to deliver it, a website ready to publish, your full marketing kit, and a 90-day plan with your next ten moves already on the calendar.
The fastest path we know from idea to a viable, profit-ready business — in one focused day, with paying customers in the 90-day plan you take home.

30-year startup operator
Most workshops teach. This one builds.
Walk in with an idea. Walk out with a built business.
Not a course, not coaching, not DIY worksheets. In one focused day you build the operational foundation of a real business — name, brand, website, offer, pricing, legal drafts, launch plan — plus a short checklist for the items only your signature can finish. You arrive with a spark. You leave with a company. (Hard costs — filing fees, hosting, tech subscriptions, and anything physical like space, equipment, or inventory — aren't covered by the workshop fee.)
Built in the room, not assigned as homeworkSeven hours. One founder. One business.Real deliverables + a one-page finish list

What others are starting in 2026
Proof, not a menu. These are the kinds of businesses real people are launching in 2026 — online, on a street corner, out of a kitchen, off a phone, or built around AI.
Scroll through for inspiration. Yours doesn't have to be on this list. You walk in with your idea, and we build the business around it using the same seven stages — so you leave with a formed business and a 90-day plan you can run on Monday.
Income ranges are realistic year-one numbers for a solo operator who works the seven-stage plan. What you make will depend on your hours, your prices, and how many customers you keep.
