Eight people. Four weeks. My eyes on your pages.
This is the highest-touch way to build your proposal short of hiring me privately (which costs five figures, so this is the smart way in). Over four live weeks we shape, pressure-test, and strengthen your proposal with the same frameworks I use with private clients: live hot-seat edits, my personal review of your overview — the page that decides everything — a private 1:1 strategy hour, and a small, curated group of serious peers.
Starts Tuesday, September 8, the first real desk day of fall. Enrollment closes Labor Day. I don’t currently have plans to run the live program again this year.
After purchase, watch for a welcome email and next steps — check Promotions or Spam if it’s not in your inbox, and make sure to add meredith@meredithfineman.com to your contacts.
