The Biz Studio Accelerator
Grow a 6-Figure Business Without Working All The Time
Hey there, service-based business owners, tell me if this is true for you:
You dreamed of creating a business that would complement
the life you wanted
You would have...
- Plenty of energy to share your expertise that makes a big difference in people's lives (because your schedule includes time dedicated to rest, self-care and fun)
- A marketing plan that gets you excited to show up and talk about your biz (because it would be crafted to suit the way you shine best)
- Systems in place to save you time on repetitive tasks (because going back and forth trying to find meeting times is not a good use of your time)
- Intentional goals that keep you focused on growth (because hitting revenue milestones happens with regular action steps)
- The freedom to balance your personal life along with your business (because your business isn't the only thing that's important in your life)
But right now, as you open up your laptop after dinner again, you can’t help but wonder...
If you’ll ever get back that original passion for your business or...
If you'll ever get the excitement you had before becoming stuck in the never-ending loop of doing all the things–marketing, selling, invoicing, and social media–that you’re caught in right now back again.
But what if instead you could focus more on the work you love to do, rather than all the things you thought you needed to do?
What if you had a clear plan that gave you steps to create a business that supported your lifestyle?
There’s just one question left for you…
Are you ready to reimagine what your business could look like when...
> you're getting more done because you lean into your unique gifts and let all the other things go
> you make more money because you’ve nailed marketing and sales techniques that don’t make you cringe
> you’ve got more downtime to focus on who or what needs your attention outside of business
> your passion for the work you do has reignited
> your business starts to surpass your dreams
Keep reading, my friend. You’re one paragraph away from making that vision your reality.
The Biz Studio Accelerator
The membership program designed for service-based business owners who want to find more time, make more money, and like their business better.
How does The Biz Studio Accelerator
work, exactly?
While your experience inside The Biz Studio Accelerator will follow your unique needs, it’ll feel similar to inspecting your business under a microscope. Here’s a peek of what you’ll do...
Define your vision
Get clarity on what you want for your business so your goals align with your life. This is an anti-hustle harder zone because we’re here to make an impact without burnout or bad feelings. Our quarterly planning days ensure the goals you’re working towards fuel your passion rather than your sleepless nights.
Skyrocket your confidence
One of the trickiest parts of business is trying to figure it all out alone. Being part of the group can also help you gain insights and connectivity that boosts your confidence and your success. That’s just one way you’ll benefit from access to a community of business owners.
Identify your strengths
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all success path to scaling a business. The marketing and sales techniques that work the best are ones you can sustainably implement. You’ll identify what you love to do, and get accountability support to follow-through on a plan that allows you to flourish.
Work your plan
With clear goals in place, you’ll be ready to reduce your time and boost your productivity. Through coaching and training, get regular guidance and personalized strategies to help you implement your sales and marketing plan.
Here’s what else is waiting for you inside the Accelerator…
- Monthly group coaching calls with an experienced entrepreneur and biz coach. This is your opportunity to get laser coaching from Lara or soak up all the value from listening in on other business owners' experiences.
- A library of trainings and tools to help you with your business. Topics cover the core areas of running a business: sales, marketing, and team building.
- Accountability sessions to give you a supportive space to work on the important but not urgent business tasks that drive your growth.
- A planning workshop. Together we’ll review past goals, reassess if you’re actually going after what you want, set new goals and identify the actions related to achieve them.
- A private Facebook group where you can celebrate your wins, and where I personally answer your questions between calls.
- An option to upgrade to VIP coaching with Lara (that's me!). Get three 60-minute sessions to use anytime, plus weekday Voxer access for support right when you need it.

Looking for a few The Biz Studio Accelerator success stories you can relate to?
When I joined the Biz Studio, I was eager for practical information on how I could turn the ambitious dreams for my business into a reality. I got that in spades but, more importantly, I got what I didn't even know I needed: a warm, welcoming community where encouragement flourishes. As a result, I have both the practical support I need to make things happen and also the external accountability to keep me going when I feel discouraged.

Through the Biz Studio Accelerator, Lara has brought some essentials into my business life
"I love my business and I am great at what I do. I help musicians get unstuck and find clarity on the next best steps so they can build a sustainable career. I guess I’m just too close to my own stuff to be good at that for myself. Through the Biz Studio Accelerator, Lara has brought some essentials into my business life: a supportive community of entrepreneurs that are intent on moving their businesses forward, accountability to help keep me on track with the tasks I need to get done, and more than all that, her no-nonsense insights that hack away at the brambles and help me move forward. Now, not only do I love my business but by working with Lara, I am loving making my business grow."
- Nicole Colbeck, Creative Coach CEO,
Little Acorn Creative Coaching & Music Management

Who’s the biz coach behind The Biz Studio Accelerator?
Hi, I’m Lara.
If there’s one biz quotable that makes me cringe it’s this one, “Do what you love and you’ll never feel like you’re working.”
^^That makes me want to stick out my tongue and say, “Nahhhh."
It’s the kind of saying that gets posted on Facebook and leads to amazing business owners like you (and me!) secretly feeling badly because running a business feels like a ton of work so we wonder if we’re doing it wrong.
But after a decade of working with 1000s of entrepreneurs who love their businesses but also struggle with knowing what to charge, or how to grow without working all the hours, I can confidently tell you that it’s normal not to have it all figured out.
The truth is it’s perfectly normal to want a business that leaves you plenty of downtime to enjoy your latest Netflix obsession, get lost in a new book, spend summers at the cottage, or do whatever fuels you beyond selling your services.
^^ I want that all for you.
Some people say they love working with me because I’m relatable, a safe space to go deeper than the standard “I’m fine” answers you give everyone else, or an encyclopedia of simple-to-implement marketing and sales strategies.
But what they really know me for is a biz coach that helps you define what a successful business looks and feels like for you and then works in partnership with you to achieve it.
Here’s what a few happy accelerator members had to say about working with me...
In the first three weeks, I got three new clients!
“"I am what Gretchen Rubin would call "an obliger" — great at upholding other people's deadlines, horrible at keeping to my own. This is where being my own boss becomes problematic. ENTER: LARA and The Biz Studio Accelerator. In the first three weeks, I got three new clients using a combination of Lara's simple but brilliant advice, and the things I knew I needed to do, but wasn't doing without the pressure of the Accelerators' accountability sessions. Within the first month, this program had already paid for itself.
I’ve now continued to be in the program for 3+ years. Lara’s pep talks and advice have made me quite literally THOUSANDS of dollars.
In addition, being a mostly solo entrepreneur can feel lonely. Having Lara as the person who knows most of what’s going on in my business makes a HUGE difference. She’s often the first person I call to share a win or a disappointment— and when it’s the latter, she always knows exactly what to say to help me turn it into a learning opportunity. Having Lara on my team is a financial, logistical and emotional essential!”
- Marsha Shandur, CEO + Storytelling, Keynote and Communication Coach, Yes Yes Marsha
