About Us
Julie Blake became an entrepreneur by accident… In 1991, her Mother was in an accident leaving Julie and her Dad to run the family business – and they decorated 15 wedding cakes the first weekend her Mom was hospitalized. After her Mom recovered and Julie had decorated and delivered over 200 wedding cakes, she figured out that owning your own business is a great way to make money! So, in 1992, Julie started Floral Expressions specializing in weddings, expanding to corporate events and eventually she produced her own funeral flower book to transform funerals into a celebration of life! (She says “You find out who your real friends are if they will drive a casket around town for you!”)
During the 8 years in business with Floral Expressions, Julie was active in the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, a member of Leadership Utah, MPI, Utah Speakers Association, and her company served as a sponsor for the annual fundraiser at Westminster College.
Her event planning credentials include: creating and producing a talent show called New England Sensation that aired on CN8, working as a producer/production manager for a national production company in Nashville, and serving as the promotions director for a number one-rated adult contemporary radio station. While in Nashville, she served as the panel coordinator for the Americana Music conference. She was also very involved in the Music Industry and founded www.GetMusicSuccess.com.
Julie now works with Solopreneur’s such as authors, speakers, coaches and consultants. She is known as “The Solopreneur Courage Coach” who assists solopreneurs to fearlessly charge what they are worth and create the courage to ASK for it. Julie is also a founding member of Steve Chandler’s Club Fearless and leads a local mastermind group.

Hi I’m Colleen Laukka I have earned my title Courageous Creator Coach by boldly following the leadings of my soul and ignoring convention. My choice to marry and then divorce after fourteen years catapulted me into the land of the unknown and paved my path to courageous liberation. I moved west with my five children, which provided me a blank canvas to create the life I desired. I boldly entered the corporate world and also boldly exited, after selling franchises for 10 years, to create my own career as a Courageous Creator Coach. I am a dreamer; a lover of what is, yet passionate about creating more. My inner life is extremely satisfying. I feel guided, loved and protected at all times. My deepest purpose in life has been to learn to love myself and I have achieved that. It is now time for me to share my light and help women to see the beauty, value and power within themselves, so they too can create a life of magic, wonder and prosperity.
