Custom support for new business owners

Headshot of Steph Blake smiling, founder of The Blake Collective, dedicated to helping online business owners simplify and streamline their businesses

You’re ready to create something new — but building an online business feels more confusing than it should.

This level of custom support is for you if...

  • You have an idea, skill, or passion you want to turn into a business — but you’re not sure where to start.

  • You’re looking for clear direction and a simple plan to launch your business with confidence.

  • You want hands-on support from someone who can guide you step by step and handle the tech if needed.

  • You’re ready to build a business that feels meaningful, flexible, and aligned with this next chapter of your life.

  • You want to learn how to use AI and automation to make things easier, not more complicated.

  • You’d love to skip the trial-and-error and get expert guidance from someone who makes all of this simple.

Over the past decade, I’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs simplify their systems, automate their workflows, and scale sustainably — from solopreneurs to small teams generating 6 to 7+ figures.

I’ve also built & scaled multiple companies of my own while raising 2 young kids so I understand exactly what it takes to scale without burning out.

Below Are a Few Ways I Can Support You

Topics include but aren't limited to:

🤖 Understanding how to use AI in your business so you can save time, stay organized, and feel confident using modern tools — even if tech is confusing now.

⚙️ Identifying simple tasks to automate so your business runs smoothly behind the scenes and you have more time for what you actually enjoy.

📌 Creating a clear step-by-step plan so you always know what to focus on next instead of getting stuck in overwhelm.

🔍 Building smart systems and routines to help you think and operate like a business owner — not an employee.

💸 Developing your first offers and pricing strategy so you can start generating income doing meaningful work.

🚀 Designing a realistic growth plan that fits your goals, energy, and season of life — no hustle required.

📝 Setting up your online presence (website, landing pages, or offers) so potential clients immediately understand what you do and how you can help.

🗂 Choosing simple tools to manage projects, clients, and content — without overcomplicating your setup.

💡 Learning to think strategically so decisions feel intentional instead of reactive, and you can build long-term stability.

Simplifying how you work by setting boundaries, streamlining processes, and focusing on what truly moves the needle.

🌟 Building confidence as a new entrepreneur — shifting from the employee mindset of “working for someone else” to trusting yourself as the CEO of your own business.

👥 Creating supportive collaborations or partnerships so you don’t have to build your business alone.

Feedback from a few people I've helped 🫶

"

When I found Steph, I had already spent 8 months searching for how to grow from an unprofessional blogger to a professional, recognizable business in my industry.

No one seemed to offer that 'secret sauce'—the guidance you need when you're trying to grow, but don't have enough time to do it all yourself or the money to hire help.

When I saw a bundle that she hosted, I immediately thought, 'This is the woman I need to learn from.'

And I was right!

Steph provided exactly what I had been searching for all year but couldn’t find anywhere else.

She’s been the missing piece I needed to take my business to the next level!"

Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋

I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income...

...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!

I’ve spent the last two decades guiding hundreds of businesses from scattered to streamlined - taking many from $0 to multi-six and seven figures with strategies built on simplicity, efficiency, and intentional growth.

I’m not just teaching theory. I’ve lived this by:

• Building my own businesses using the exact frameworks I now teach my clients.

• Leaving the 80-hour hustle years ago

• Retired my husband from his 9-5 so our family could design life on our terms.

My focus is on designing smarter systems, leveraging the right tech and team, and focusing your time on what actually moves the needle — so your business serves you, not the other way around.

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?

For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.

She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.

Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.

She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.

What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.

Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.
