WHAT I DO

If you’ve landed on this page, it’s not a coincidence. Chances are, you’re a high-achieving, professional Black woman who’s tired of building someone else’s empire, stuck in a career that no longer fulfills you, and ready to break free from the 9-to-5 grind.

You’ve checked all the boxes, earned all the degrees and then some, climbed the corporate, government or nonprofit ladder…but deep down, you know you’re meant for more.

That voice inside that once whispered, “There’s more to life than this,” is now getting louder and harder to push to the side. You dream of using your gifts to create impact and income on your own terms, but the uncertainty of how to get started has kept you stuck in analysis paralysis for far too long. You’re ready for a change and now, you just need the right path to make it happen.

And that’s where I come in.

SUCCESS STORIES

“I reached a milestone in my business today. $100K in one month! I remember the days of working in corporate hoping to make $100K in one year! It didn’t happen overnight, and it definitely wasn’t without challenges, but I’m proud of myself for persisting and not giving up! Forever grateful to Rosetta for modeling “possibility.” I started at the bottom, now I’m here! You’re looking at one Happy Black Woman!”

Nonprofit Fund Development Expert

“Today, I stepped further into my dream life. I retired from my job to run my business full-time! None of this would have manifested if I hadn’t leaned into my faith in God, because I was led to Rosetta Thurman and this beautiful community. I have taken several of her courses and finished up in the year-long mastermind this past June. Total game changer! If you’re on-the-fence about investing in one of Rosetta’s programs, but you KNOW you need to get started..find a way to make it happen. The results are mind-blowing–I’m a witness!”

Violinist, Therapist and Coach for Creatives & Performers

Shanell invested in one of my courses and launched her coaching business that helps doctoral students graduate faster. She started getting clients and building her business, but soon realized that she needed help with making sales consistently each month. Then, she joined my mastermind program. She went all in, did all the work, showed up to all the calls and asked ALL the questions. And it paid off for her big time. By the end of the year, she had made $117,000 in her coaching business and officially became a 6-Figure Queen! All with a demanding full-time job, kids and a husband at home. And less than a year from the day she joined the Mastermind, she made a decision that so many Black women dream of…she QUIT her job as a professor and is now a full-time coach for doctoral students!

Doctoral Expert & Institutional Consultant

During our work together, Jasmine mapped out an exit plan that would allow her to quit her full-time job and focus 100% on her career coaching business. Not only was she able to quit her job, but she also decided to move from Washington, DC to the beautiful island of Barbados to run her business from her laptop in the Caribbean!

“So this Happy Black Woman over here resigned her nursing job and I can’t tell you the relief and joy I have! Thanks Rosetta for teaching me how good it feels to be my own boss, to follow my life passion and learn what it means to grow a location-independent business.”

Precious Proscovia

Financial Literacy & Life Purpose Strategist for Women Nurses

“Before I enrolled in Rosetta’s program, I was contemplating starting my own business, but I did not know how to be my own CEO. I had been an exemplar as an employee but had absolutely no idea how to manage myself as a CEO. As a former school principal, I knew that I had the skills to lead an organization but I needed someone to tell me how to work for myself. That is exactly what this program did for me. I was given practical tools with weekly deliverables that truly enabled me to launch my own business in 8 weeks! This program developed me both personally and professionally, I am better able to stand in this space as a confident CEO than I would have ever been attempting to do this on my own. I signed my first client within the first 48 hours of launching my business! Rosetta, thank you for assisting me in creating my ideal life!”

Teresa Sayles

Leadership Consultant

“I moved my consulting services from offline to the online space and knew immediately I needed help. I was used to direct selling via cold calling either in person or buy the phone. However, going online and positioning my services was sooo different. I didn’t know what to do and how to do it. Taking Rosetta’s program was a Godsend. As a result of working with her, I’ve been able to relaunch my consulting services in a way that positions the value and benefits to my ideal clients. This program has given me so much clarity and confidence to offer my services at a level my clients will love, and that I am excited to share. I highly recommend her program for any woman entrepreneur who struggles to communicate and position the value of her services in a way that is practical and easy to implement.”

Natasha Patrick

Business Consultant for Insurance-Based Healthcare Practices

“My vision board included working with Rosetta Thurman this year. I got way off track with my business and needed to refocus and get organized. I told my husband I wanted to do the program, so we needed to figure out where to get the funds to invest. But a few days before the program even started, I secured my first client for my 90-day coaching program using Rosetta’s template! I signed up for her program that same day. It has truly motivated me, helped me to get refocused, and better organized. The checklists and homework assignments are so helpful to me because I need structure. I’m so grateful for Rosetta’s teaching and mentoring!”

Karla Montague-Brown

Physician & Wellness Coach

“Before I started working with Rosetta, I was struggling with executing the vision I thought I had for my business. It was in my head and my heart, but not realized. As a result of taking the course, I have been able to commit to building my business, gain clarity about my business model, launch my business website and create meaningful content. I recommend this course for anyone who has unsuccessfully tried to do it on your own. This program is more than accountability, it is a road map for you to successfully launch your business and Rosetta is there every step of the way.”

Telanna Swan-Jeffers

Productivity Strategist

“I wanted to share this photo of me at the mastermind retreat. I have to say it’s the best picture of me because I barely recognise myself. I was at my milestone year when I could retire and feeling very lost. After meeting Rosetta and signing up for her program, I admit I had second thoughts because it was a significant investment. That picture I see now is a completely new person. It’s like looking at someone else. This has been my transformational year. I’m aiming to be in business full time over the next 6 months. I have clarity, I have my income streams and I have a website that’s almost done. What will I be like in 1 year as a brand new woman reclaiming my time and helping women to take care of themselves?”

Life Coach for Black Women

“I wanted to celebrate my wins working with Rosetta and share why she’s the best in the game! Before I took her program, I was struggling what to offer my clients. As a result of working with her, I have been able to get total clarity on what I offer and who my ideal client is. I recommend her programs for women who want to get serious about moving their business forward!”
