A born leader, Virginia Scheuer always knew she wanted to work for herself. Her unique skillset included a Masters in acting, a certification in holistic massage therapy, and a decade of teaching experience, so in 2017 she drew from the strengths of each and set up a new personal development business.

By 2019, Virginia had already helped over 200 online businesses through one-to-one and group coaching. The potential was huge. So much so that it would take a community to facilitate and support it. Introducing the Soulpreneur’s Association.

Working with Disciple

Virginia’s collective had been using a Facebook Group for their online presence, but found it frustrating that their course content had to be kept on other sites. In addition, members often took breaks from the platform for their own wellbeing, so the Soulpreneurs had no way to reach them. To take back control, they turned to Disciple for help.

The main objective was to create a central space to connect with clients on a daily basis, free from the noise of ads and irrelevant content. Together, we created their Body Soul app. We streamlined access to course content, created groups for closer connections around specific interests, and gave coaches and members more direct ways to reach each other. In short, Soulpreneur’s Association built themselves a home.

Premium feel for online coaching

Virginia says their branded app has given Soulpreneur’s Association “the professional edge that so many coaches need to be successful,” helping her to stand out against the competition and build an established and credible brand. That payments can be taken in-app too only helps to streamline the experience for business and client alike.

What do the community members think of the new approach? According to Virginia, the app has “a premium quality and feel they’ve never experienced anywhere else”. As a result, Soulpreneur’s Association has seen a 1000% increase in monthly sessions. That’s a whole lot of personal development they’re making possible.
