We’re not here to glorify burnout or hustle culture.
We started our businesses to create freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment and we’ve built lives where we can work from anywhere, choose the projects that excite us, and take a break when we need it.

You deserve a business that aligns with your values, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Join us in The Cheetah Collective and turn your business idea into real, sustainable freedom. We’d love to chat about your idea and how we can help you turn it into reality.

Let’s get started!

6-figure Founders Who Have Been There

When you have a lot going on...and still want more from life.

We’ve navigated the chaos of launching a business from scratch: submitting the LLC paperwork, choosing a payment processor, designing a brand, building a website, starting an email list... it’s enough to stop most people before they even begin.

All of those moving parts can drain your time and energy while pulling you away from the real work of building something meaningful (and profitable).

That’s why we created The Cheetah Collective with everything we wish we had when we were starting out.

Start Now

This isn’t another “figure-it-out-yourself” course. We walk you through every step, week by week, with clarity and direction so you don’t waste hours researching, second-guessing, or spinning your wheels.

You’ll have the tools, templates, and expert guidance so you make progress every week to actually launch and grow your business.

Let’s be real: running your own business takes work. But it’s work that puts you in control. And we can't wait to work alongside you!

Know Angela

Angela Ashurst is the founder of Upword Resume, a premier career development service.

Fifteen years later, what began as a side gig during naptime and preschool has now become her main income as a single mother of 6 adults and teens. Angela brings expertise in business processes, email strategy, and business partnerships.

She is a firm believer that financial stability is a tool that empowers women and is key to making the world a better place.

Angela says:

That fear and resistance you feel when you’re doing something new? That’s a sign you’re on the right track! I believe everyone can find a path to time freedom and money alignment.

Get to
Know Britt

Britt Larsen leverages her extensive executive experience to help people navigate career changes, from job hunting, to promotions, to starting their own business. She founded Livlyhood to share corporate women's stories and it's now a thriving career coaching business that allowed her to quit her corporate job and quickly replace her income. Britt's career began as the Director of Communications for both a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the governor of Florida. She then moved into the private sector and led public affairs strategy for clients including Microsoft and Delta.

As the youngest and only female Vice President at her last firm, she led a reorg and hired more than 50% of the company. Britt's proudest title is "momma" and she loves being in the mountains with her husband and two young miracle boys.

Britt says:

I remember feeling overwhelmed by the Sunday scaries when I worked corporate jobs. For me, running my own business is about time freedom: the ability to spend the day swimming with my kids, going on vacation without asking for permission, or just taking the afternoon off. Replacing your corporate income might be more doable than you think. I’m tired of keeping this secret to myself and want to help you find the joy you deserve!

Stop fitting your life around your work and start building a business that fits your life. A life where your values, vision, and voice lead the way.

We’ve already mapped out the path but it’s up to you to begin the journey.

Your roadmap to getting started is waiting in our bio. Let’s take that first step, together.

When you think about your business, what comes to mind first: your product, your offer… or your why?

As founders, we often get caught up in the WHAT. But it’s your WHY that keeps you going when things get messy (because let’s be honest, they will).

At the Cheetah Collective, our why has always been freedom, fulfillment, and flexibility. Our WHAT might evolve — but the WHY anchors our decisions and offerings.

So here’s your Tip Tuesday reminder: before you tweak your offer or pivot your plan, check in with your WHY.

It started with a thought: “There has to be more than this.”

More than endless meetings.
More than long commutes.
More than just trading time for a paycheck.

That thought turned into a plan.
That plan turned into a business.
And that business helped launch the Cheetah Collective —
a community helping Founders create work that actually works for them.

Are you ready for more, too? Learn how we can help at: thecheetahcollective.com

One year ago, the Cheetah Collective was just an idea.
A “what if?” whispered between two friends who wanted to take their hard learned lessons and help others build something of their own.

Fast forward to today and that tiny spark has grown into a community of Founders chasing bold dreams and making them real.

Since launching, our Founders have:
🧘‍♀️ Opened a thriving yoga studio
🌍 Built an international platform for women’s career growth and development
💼 Launched successful coaching businesses
🏢 And one is getting ready to sign the lease on her very own event space

All of it started the same way, with a “what if?” Imagine where YOUR “what if” could take you one year from now.

You don’t need perfect timing. You just need a place to start.

Designing work that works for you means building a business that supports the life you actually want. Not the one you think you “should” want, or the one someone else thinks is best for you. YOU get to decide what work looks like.

Maybe you’ve had enough of clocking in on someone else’s terms. Enough trading your time, freedom, and energy for someone else’s goals.

If so, it’s time to design work that works for you — to choose your hours, your income, and your version of balance.

Your dream life isn’t selfish. It’s strategic.

Ready to make your next bold move? Book a Free Business Consult with us, and let’s start designing the business — and life — that actually works for you.

Starting a business shouldn’t be scary 👻

At the Cheetah Collective, we help entrepreneurs turn uncertainty into confidence. From clear strategy to actionable next steps, we’re here to calm your fears and keep your business goals on track- one bold step at a time.

💬 TELL US: What’s your biggest fear about starting or growing your business? We’d love to chat about it!

The corporate world can be rigid, unforgiving, and surprisingly heartless- especially when you need time for what really matters.

Our Co-Founder Britt knows firsthand why owning your own business means never having to ask for permission to be there for life’s biggest moments. That’s the kind of freedom entrepreneurship gives you: the power to support your team, your family, and yourself on your own terms.

Own your business. Own your schedule. Own your life. You only get one.

Tip Tuesday: 🛑 Stop trying to prove your critics wrong and START proving your fans right.

Not everyone is your audience, and that’s okay. Focus on the ones who get it, who need it, and who believe in you.
Prove your fans right!

When you focus your energy on the people who already believe in what you’re building, your confidence grows, your message gets clearer, and your impact multiplies.

Build for your people…not against your doubters.

What began at kitchen tables and office desks has evolved onto stages where women lift each other higher.

At the 2025 @elavareco conference last month, Cheetah Collective co-founders Angela & Britt shared how their sparks of an idea turned into thriving individual businesses and a partnership focused on community, courage, and connection.

From humble beginnings and moments of doubt to standing on stage inspiring others, they’ve turned experience into empowerment, helping entrepreneurs find their voice, build their brands, and step boldly into their purpose.

Every big vision starts small, but when women come together with shared passion and a clear mission, the impact can be limitless.

🚨 We want to hear from you! If you attended this event what was your favorite takeaway? 🚨

The “remote work era” might be ending but your freedom doesn’t have to.

If you’re being called back to the office, it’s not the end of flexibility, it’s your cue to take your 9–5 on the road. You don’t need permission to live life on your terms. Take your 9–5 skills and build something that moves with you. Because the same talent your company profits from could be the foundation of your own business.

✨Tip Tuesday: Funnel + Nurture = More Clients ✨

If you’re a business founder looking to grow your client base, remember these two words: Funnel and Nurture.

A funnel is the journey your audience takes: from first hearing about you to trusting you, resonating with your message, and believing that you can solve their problems.

But here’s the key: the funnel alone isn’t enough. You need to nurture your leads along the way. That means providing consistent value and touch points, like:

✔️ Emails
✔️ Free or low-cost offers
✔️ Downloadable PDFs or workbooks
✔️ Engaging on social media
✔️ Blog posts or articles

Every touch point shows your audience that you have what they’re looking for and builds trust, so when they’re ready to invest, they think of YOU first.

💡 Pro Tip: Start adding one new nurturing touchpoint this week (whether it’s an email, free download, or social tip) and watch how your audience starts trusting and choosing you.

You don’t need a degree to be ready.

Britt has a BIG truth bomb 💣 for you this Tip Tuesday!

If entrepreneurship has been planted in your heart, that seed is there for a REASON.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start, you just have to be BRAVE enough to take the first step. Even if it’s messy. Even if you might fail.

Because the real failure? Staying stuck and never showing the world (or yourself!) what’s possible.

👉 This week’s tip: Stop waiting for the “perfect” moment. You’re Brave. SHOW THE WORLD just how brave by taking action NOW.
