Tell me, does any of this sound familiar?
Maybe you’ve…
taken courses about launching but nothing seems to get you going. thought about launching a product-based business but you just can’t seem to get started. spent time researching your product idea or suppliers but you’re left feeling totally overwhelmed. tried many things that are costing you time and money. launched something in the past and it didn’t quite go as planned.

👉🏽 are 100% confident you have a winning product and a winning strategy to grow your new business?
Welcome to the Product Pathway Business Incubator
The ultimate course for aspiring business owners who want to launch their first product!
Go from idea (or no idea!) to launch with all the tools and proven steps you need to finally grow a profitable product-based business!
REAL RESULTS ARE IN YOUR FUTURE TOO!
I think the best thing I did was work with Nicole because it was so overwhelming.
I felt so lost and didn’t know what to do at all to start a product based business. I think I saved myself thousands and thousands of dollars of making mistakes to work with someone who can guide me throughout the journey.
It was like having someone hold your hand and support you. It’s like having a product therapist. It was definitely the best decision. I would spend the money again just to have the guidance that came from it. It was very, very helpful.

Nicole’s expertise in the product development industry has taught me how to identify and validate my product ideas,…
how to confidently work through the stages and gates of product development, clarify my brand identity and write a business plan for success.
The program material is very comprehensive, so I’d recommend it to anyone that has a product idea that requires guidance, or to anyone that is considering adding physical products to an established business or service.

I took the Product Pathway as I wanted to successfully launch a product out of all the ideas I had. The program really made me dive deep to the core and think about different aspects of the product idea and launch. I now have a concept that I’m excited to launch.
Nicole was super approachable, friendly, very helpful, very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to launch a product.

Wondering if The Product Pathway is right for you?
The Product Pathway ISN'T right for you if you're:
not committed to launching a product anytime in the near future.
not prepared to invest time or money in your business. Launching a product requires your time and some up front investment.
looking for a “get rich quick” solution. Building a business takes time and many supposed “overnight sensations” are years in the making.
The Product Pathway is PERFECT for you if you:
✔️ are just getting started – you have a product idea but you’re not sure where to start, or you don’t yet have a product idea but have always thought of launching a product.
✔️ have an offline business such as as retail store and want to launch a product to expand your business.
✔️ have an online service-based business and want to offer products to further serve your clients.
100% Risk free
guarantee
Sign up and dive in! If after the first 7 days of the course you’ve watched the training and done the exercises, and you feel as though you’re not finding more value than what you’re paying for in actionable ideas, advice and insights to help you get your product idea off the ground, I will happily refund your money in full. No questions asked.
This is my guarantee to you.
Founder, Mamas Know Best

Start building your dream product business now!
You’ll go from idea or no idea to product. You’ll have a proven concept that increases your chances of success. You’ll have a plan of action and will be ready to move forward with your launch.
What makes the Product Pathway
different?
🌟 This is a proven process that I have gone through with large brands and multinational corporations.
🌟 I teach a method of concept testing that helps identify the best ideas and how to improve them.
🌟 The brand-building exercises are what large brands work through to build strong, magnetic brands.
🌟 We work on developing your minimum viable product so that you can test and iterate and reduce overall time and costs.
🌟 PLUS you’ll have my personal guidance through a one-on-one call and through the Facebook group.
I just wanted to share with you that I had a meeting with a seamstress and a small local manufacturer last Saturday. I am happy that they are willing to work with me and they can produce the prototype / sample and do the production locally, 30 minutes away from home!
I can’t believe I am on this stage of this journey and I know it’s just the beginning, but 6-7 weeks ago it was just a mere idea and lots of self sabotaging thoughts about my capabilities to even take it this far.
So I want to take this time to thank you for helping get this far and help me grow my confidence, and the knowledge that I have gained from you and the Product Pathway program is so valuable! Forever, I will grateful to you!

Hi, I'm
Nicole!
I’m a product business coach who helps aspiring entrepreneurs create products that sell so they can live a life of freedom and success.
I’ve been in marketing for most of my career, managing some big brands at companies such as Kraft and Coca-Cola. I later wanted the flexibility to be with my newborn baby so I started a product business and grew it to $2 million in sales.
I sold that business and, since then, have been building – and growing – brands as a consultant and coach for productpreneurs looking to launch their first (or next) product.
I’ve helped launch products like:
- -Sustainable apparel
-A gift company for plant lovers
-Various candle companies - -Disposable maternal underwear
- -A food delivery service
-A kids clothing line
… and more!
I’d love to help you break free from the 9 to 5 and carve out more time for what matters through a successful product-based business.
Here’s what a few happy clients had to say!
My goal of joining this program was to learn how to get started with executing an idea and seeing it through.
Nicole and her program helped simplify the process from the start by walking me through the foundation of product development. In my opinion, this helped me avoid a ton of errors that would have occurred if I had gone about it by myself.
I’d recommend the program to anyone looking to develop an existing idea or start from scratch with no prior experience in product development.

“Nicole is a pleasant, wonderful coach who puts you at ease, and is flexible, and also does not rush you to come to a decision, but in fact gives you suggestions.
I would recommend this program to other business owners who can’t really decide which direction to take in their business.

Have questions about The Product Pathway?
No! All you need is the desire to start a product business. In the first module, we’ll help you brainstorm a list of product ideas and you’ll realize there are no shortage of ideas!
Yes, you’ll get a one-hour private coaching session with Nicole de Larzac and you’ll have support within the Facebook group.
The lessons are about 30-60 minutes. It’s recommended that you do the exercises in the workbook to maximize your results and this can take 1 to 5 hours per week depending on your efforts.
You’ll have lifetime access to the training materials. If you don’t have time to complete the modules, you can continue at your own pace after.
Nicole has contacts within product development and marketing and you’ll be able to get recommendations. Since product development and manufacturing is so broad, we cannot guarantee that we have all the contacts you need, so you will likely need to do some research on your own also.
Yes, you may either pay in full or you may pay in 3 monthly instalments.
Don't wait to build your profitable product business!
