Get The Startup Success System now

There was a time when staying in a corporate job meant stability.
A steady paycheck, clear career ladders, and long-term security.

But work has changed, fast.

Today, corporate jobs are uncertain. Layoffs happen overnight. Promotions stall. Burnout skyrockets. And meanwhile, opportunities to create and grow your own business have never been greater.

If you’ve thought about starting your own business but don’t know where to begin, you’re not alone.

 

Starting a business isn’t about having the “perfect idea.”
It’s about following the right process.

But most professionals don’t know where to start:

  • What type of business should I create?

  • How do I know if anyone will pay for it?

  • How do I find my first clients or customers?

  • How do I actually convert them into paying sales?

I give you the step-by-step plan to start and grow your business, without wasting years in confusion or spinning your wheels.

And unlike large courses, I keep the cohorts small so YOU get the attention you deserve inside The Startup Success System program. 

WHAT’S COVERED IN THE 12 WEEK PROGRAM

The Foundation Formula

Lay the groundwork for your business. You’ll clarify your vision, define your goals, and choose the right business model so you can move forward with confidence instead of second-guessing.

Website & Messaging Essentials

Your website is often the first impression of your business. In this module, you’ll learn exactly what belongs on your homepage, About page, and Services/Offers page—so visitors immediately understand what you do, why it matters, and why they should trust you.

Lead Magnet & Funnel Builder

Turn strangers into subscribers. You’ll create your first lead magnet, connect it to a landing page, and set up a simple welcome email series that nurtures new leads automatically. No tech overwhelm, just a clear system.

Platforms That Get You Seen

Stop spreading yourself thin across every channel. This module helps you choose the right platform for visibility, whether it’s YouTube, podcasting, blogging, or social media, based on your strengths and where your audience actually is.

Nurture & Convert With Email

Learn how to stay in touch with your audience and turn subscribers into clients. You’ll write simple nurture emails that build trust, and learn how to transition naturally into sales emails that convert without being pushy.

The Client Conversion System

Your marketing pays off when someone buys. In this final module, you’ll learn how to generate interest, build trust, and confidently convert your leads into paying customers, step by step.

Consulting & Community for 12 Weeks

Consulting Calls:

I do live calls every other week where YOU get your questions answered. The cohorts are kept small so you get all the attention you need to build a successful business.

Community:

There is a community space where you can ask more questions, help each other out, and stay accountable.

Let's Get Started

Why I Built This Program for You

Hi, I’m Andrea Palten.

I spent 20+ years in corporate marketing leadership, working with global brands, startups, and thousands of founders. And over and over, I saw the same thing: talented professionals who dreamed of starting their own business but had no roadmap to follow.

They were stuck wondering: “Can I really do this? Where do I even start?”

So I created The Start-Up Success System.
A structured, proven path that takes you from idea → offer → first clients → profitable business.

It’s the program I wish I had when I started my first business. PS: I'm on business number 3, been there, done that. My first business I took from $0 to $100,000 in a little over a year.
