Hey! I’m Kim Kiel, a professional copywriter, copy coach and brand voice expert for Gen X women in business.

It has to be said…
2024 is different.
It’s not business as usual anymore.
The past year has been pretty rough for many online businesses.
The client “gold rush” created by the pandemic has ended.
Tech, social platforms and AI tools keep changing their algorithms and forcing us into pay-to-play models.
Consumers and customers are more choosy with their time and financial investments, which means it’s taking longer to find clients and make sales.
And if you’ve struggled to start or grow your business, you’re not alone.
But here’s the thing.
Running a business is not difficult. Even in today’s market.
I’m resetting my biz and increasing my revenue and profit by going back to business basics:
not getting distracted by shiny objects or one-size-fits all solutions
leveraging tried-and-true, timeless marketing practices
dialing in my business foundations
The BEST back-to-basics business foundations program out there is Marie Forleo’s B-School.
I’m digging back into my course portal to dial in my foundations and simplify my marketing and sales systems, so I can continue to grow my business and impact.
And I’d love for you to join me…
What is Marie Forleo’s B-School & is it worth it?
(TL;DR: B-School is one of the best investments I’ve ever made)
B-School is an online learning program created by Marie Forleo, a successful serial entrepreneur, public speaker, and author.
This summer, she’s launching a 4-week summer school intensive for new and seasoned entrepreneurs who want a roadmap to start and grow a successful business.
I joined waaay back in 2018. It was the first investment I made in my business. And it’s turned out to be one of the best!
But I gotta admit, I followed Marie for over a year before I joined the program.
I watched as she promoted B-school in 2017 and I thought - pffft - all this stuff is available for free. I don’t need to join this program. I can find everything I need on the internet and start my business on my own! Right?!
By the end of 2017, I was no further along in launching my business.
I knew I needed to follow a curriculum, I needed some accountability, and I wanted a community - because at the time I knew very few people in online business or entrepreneurship.
So when Marie promoted B-School in 2018, I jumped in. I was 42, with 2 little kids at home, and I had a day job.
And as I’ve said before, it was one of the smartest investments I have ever made.
B-School gives you the steps and strategies to create a successful, and super chill, business
What’s covered in B-School?
As soon as I joined, I was impressed with the course platform.
It was beautiful. It was organized. It was intuitive. I could easily find my way around.
Summer B-School is delivered over 4 weeks. It gives you a proven blueprint for building your business. It provides foundational curriculum to help you fast-track your growth and avoid the endless hamster wheel of trial and error.
And here’s the thing.
There are so many steps and things you need to do when you’re starting or running a business.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed.
So I loved how B-School drips out the content and information, week-by-week.
B-School Curriculum
How to Start the RIGHT Business
Designing your Profit Plan & Business Vision
Creating offers that sell
Timeless marketing strategies
Easy content creation
Email marketing and list-building
Creating a website that converts & sells
As a B-School alum, I have lifetime access and I frequently pop back into the course portal when I need a refresher, or I’m trying something new and I want a little tutorial. When you register, you get lifetime access too! Take a tour of B-School right here.
Who is B-School for?
B-School is designed for:
brick-and-mortar businesses - like indie bookstores, record shops, and boutiques who want to develop an online presence to support your brick-and-mortar business
service-based businesses - like bookkeepers, designers, financial planners, and copywriters, like me who want to create a strong online presence or work with clients globally
creative entrepreneurs - like artists, writers, photographers, floral designers who struggle to market and sell their gifts, but know it’s an essential to getting your beautiful art into more spaces
It’s great for people who are creative and driven, and not afraid to take action.
B-School is perfect for newer entrepreneurs AND more seasoned ones who want to dial in the foundations to be able to scale and grow more effectively.
B-school is a brilliant program for Gen X women who want to start or grow their businesses
Here’s why.
Marie Forleo is a Gen Xer, so you’ll LOL at her references and jokes. She’s mature and understands how important it is to build a business that supports your life, and not the other way around.
Gen Xers like me are probably a little more analog. Some of the online stuff and tech might feel a little overwhelming. But B-School breaks it all down for you in beautifully simple steps that are easy to understand and follow.
Who is B-School NOT for?
B-school is not for anyone expecting to get rich quick. This is not a system you buy into and start selling, like a pyramid scheme. It’s a curriculum and training to provide you guidance on how to grow your own business. If you’re a product-based business, you may get some value from B-School, but TBH I can recommend other programs better-suited to product makers and sellers.
If you’re looking for 1:1 business coaching, this ain’t it. It’s an online DIY training program.
BUT! if you’re looking for some 1:1 support, read on, because I’ve curated a special Bonus package to give you additional support if you choose to join B-School.
Snag this sanity-saving B-School Bonus Bundle, designed specifically for Gen Xers
Clearly, I’m a big fan of B-School.
It gave me the confidence and skills to start a business at 42 - that’s still going strong today. Running my own business gives me the TIME FREEDOM I need to be there for my kids AND help with our aging parents.
And the money’s pretty rad, too. I average around $200k per year, and in the past year, my business crossed the million dollar mark in lifetime revenue. An amazing feat I NEVER would have thought possible.
If you crave a business that leverages your expertise, allows you to set your own hours, and generates great revenue, B-School will you give the back-to-basics foundations you need to create it.
If you choose to join using my affiliate link, I’ll include this fab Bonus Bundle at no extra cost to you.
Here’s why I hand-picked these bonuses.
Because, when you run a small business, you face 2 big challenges:
There is a crap load of copy you need to write. When you join B-School with my Badass Bonus Suite, you’ll receive sanity- and time-saving resources to help you write copy faster and more effectively.
Starting a small business, especially when you’re a Gen Xer, is scary AF and a bit of a mind-bend. So I want to create a community and a safe space for other women who are going through B-school together - to give you support, community, and a few laughs.
So if you join B-School through my affiliate link, you’ll receive these sanity-saving bonuses:

I’m Kim. I’m a mom to teen and tween boys, and married to my beloved hubby.
When I was 42, I got super burnt out of the daily commute and shuffling my kids back and forth to childcare and school and I was constantly late for everything and everyone. I hated it.
B-School gave me the skills, strategies AND CONFIDENCE to start my own copywriting business.
I work way less than I did before, and I make a crazy amount of money doing what I love.
What’s unique about me and my approach to business is I don’t believe there’s a one-size-fits-all, because we’re humans dealing with humans.
And many of us are raising humans and helping our elder humans and there’s no way to predict or plan for perfection.
I encourage the women I work with to tap into their innate wisdom to guide them in their messaging and sales - and not get caught up in the hustle of building the biggest business in the quickest amount of time.
I love my low-tech, chill business.And I want to help more women experience the time and financial freedom I’ve created as an entrepreneur.
Plus, there’s a crap-load of copy you need to write in your business. I can help you write faster and more effectively through a combo of copy coaching (critiques) and copy templates.
Copy + Coaching + B-School = Dream Business -
Gen Xers and Gen X women have largely been left out of marketing and business.
And yet we have incredible resilience, tenacity and grit.Not to mention great taste in music.
So my focus is on amplifying the voices of Gen Xers who are kind of left out of the conversation.I most definitely work with women in other generations, too.
I am continually working to provide a safe, inclusive space for LGBTQ and BIPOC humans.

YES! When I ran my first partner promotion of B-School in winter 2023, I was surprised to see all my students WERE ALREADY RUNNING BUSINESSES. Many had taken countless trainings before. They joined B-School so everything would be in one place, and so they could follow step by step by step.
B-School excels at reminding you about the essential foundations to run a profitable and sustainable business.
If you’ve been in business for awhile, but you’re not seeing the success or ease you want, B-School is probably a good investment.

One thing you should know about me is I’m a little less “sophisticated” when it comes to tech.
I typically follow a Low-Key Launch model, which means I keep things kinda simple.
Unfortunately, design is not my strong suit, and it looks pretty terrible, I know.
But this low-tech, low stress model has served me well…
My biz is generating multi-6 figures annually, and gives me oodles of time to be around for my family.

Shoot me an email with your questions to hello@kimkiel.com.

“You know, Kim, you’re so much more than ‘just’ a copywriter”
… and other things people say about working with me

If you’re a service-provider, consultant, coach or professional, and you run your own business (or want to) - but you're not finding the success, freedom or money you desire…

Join Summer B-School, and together we’ll dial in our business foundations, simplify our marketing and sales systems, and rekindle our passion and purpose.
The world needs to hear your beautiful voice. It needs your expertise and gifts.
And you deserve to run a freedom-based business that’s mission-driven and still makes great money for you and your family.
