YOUR BUSINESS HAS TO FIT INTO A REAL WEEK.

You work. You have family responsibilities. You’re also serious about getting your business online.

You need to know what to work on, what comes next and where to get help when something isn’t working.

In this challenge, we’ll break your Shopify store into weekly tasks. You’ll build alongside other business owners, share your progress and get guidance at the points where people often get stuck.

Recordings let you revisit the sessions around your schedule. You’ll still need to set aside time each week to build.

WHO IT IS FOR

ALREADY SELLING PRODUCTS? THIS IS YOUR NEXT STEP.

Maybe your customers order through Instagram or WhatsApp. Maybe you sell at markets and pop-ups. Or you have your products ready and an unfinished Shopify store.

This challenge helps you bring your products into one online store where customers can browse and place an order.

It is for business owners who want to build their store and understand how to run it.

THE GOAL

A STORE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE.

  • A Shopify store styled for your business.
  • Up to 10 launch products with images, prices and descriptions.
  • Collections and navigation that help customers find products.
  • Your domain connected.
  • Business email set up or connected.
  • An eligible payment provider connected, subject to approval.
  • Shipping or pickup settings for your business.
  • Customer notification emails checked.
  • A completed test order and launch checklist.

You’ll also learn how to update products and manage orders after the challenge ends.

Completing your store depends on completing the tasks and having your information ready. Provider approvals and other third-party delays may affect your launch date. Sales are not guaranteed.

MEET SIMONE

I UNDERSTAND THE SCHEDULE YOU’RE WORKING WITH.

I’m Simone, founder of Focus Media & Design. I’m 45, a mum of two boys, and I run my business alongside a nine-to-five.

When you say you’re building a business around work and family, I understand.

My background is in IT and software engineering, and my work includes website design and automation. I’ll help you work through the technical steps and understand what you’re setting up.

This challenge brings that guidance into a clear weekly plan, with group sessions, recordings and scheduled feedback.

You bring your products and time to work on your store. I’ll bring the structure and guidance.

BEYOND THE STOREFRONT

WE’LL WORK THROUGH THE CONNECTIONS TOO.

Building the pages is part of the job. Your store also needs a working domain, customer emails and a way to accept payment.

You’ll receive guided setup for these connections using the supported options covered in the programme.

You’ll own your accounts and enter passwords, banking details and verification documents directly with the relevant providers.

Payment-provider availability depends on your business and country. Approval and verification are handled by the provider.

BEFORE YOU START

WHAT TO HAVE READY.

  • Your products and prices.
  • Product photos and descriptions.
  • Your business name and relevant business information.
  • Access to any existing Shopify or domain account.
  • A computer and reliable internet.
  • Time each week to work on your store.

You do not need coding experience. You do need to take part and complete the tasks.

If you are still deciding what to sell, get your products ready before joining a cohort.

SUPPORT

HOW THE GROUP SUPPORT WORKS.

Daily check-ins are short progress posts in the group. Share what you completed, your next task and where you need help.

Live working sessions happen weekly. Store feedback happens at two scheduled checkpoints.

Questions are answered during the published support hours. Private coaching, custom coding, complex migrations and done-for-you store building are outside this programme.

Live support ends on day 30. Recordings and resources remain available until 90 days after the cohort begins.
