In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our local business community faces unprecedented challenges. Many of us rely on each other and tourism to sustain our livelihoods, but the disruption has left us searching for new ways to grow and recover. While we rebuild and recreate, we must also look outward—there’s a whole world out there waiting for our products and services. But how do we successfully enter new markets?

Join Jacqueline Boone of Dream Academy to navigate these challenges and explore strategies to build and expand your business outside of Asheville and Western North Carolina.

Course Takeaways

• How to identify your unique strengths, find clients, and build your business community.
• How to clarify which markets nationally and globally to enter.
• How to determine which products and services to take outside of AVL and WNC.
• How to leverage speaking, social media, and strategic partnerships to grow your business.
• A 90-Day Action Plan to enter a new market.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical insights, actionable strategies, and a renewed vision for your business. Enjoy a light lunch, connect with fellow creatives, and leave with a clear path to new horizons.

Jacqueline E. Boone

Founder + CEO of The Dream Academy

Author of Heart Language

14 years ago, Jacqueline was asked a single question that changed her life: “What would you do if you had 6 months to live?” She started a blog to find out what would happen if she took 6 months to truly live—to appreciate life’s moments, to let those around her know she loved them, and most importantly, to pursue her Dreams even when the path was unclear or difficult. Her original 6-month experiment was so compelling that it turned into an award-winning blog and life philosophy: be true to who you are, create a life you love, and do work that matters.

On the 11th anniversary of her original 6-month experiment, she launched The Dream Academy, a global learning and consulting company dedicated to helping individuals and companies build their Dream businesses. Her unique international background in digital marketing, business development, strategy, leadership, and professional development spans 19+ years and includes working with everyone from startups to Fortune 100 and 500 companies. She’s worked with Virgin, P&G, J&J, CUNY, General Assembly, McCormick, EducationUSA, Youzan, ARAMARK, Cisco, and many more. She frequently speaks and leads trainings all over the world, including giving two TEDx talks. She believes that a better world starts with bigger Dreams, and bigger Dreams starts with you. Her first book, Heart Language, will be making its debut in 2025.
