For business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives, and press who want to build a business grow their audience, or learn more about the history of Create Business Academy.
On July 29th, 2017, I held the first Create Business Academy in Cape Town, South Africa, at Workshop 17.
The purpose of the academy was to show service providers and entrepreneurs how to:
- Set up a services business
- Develop a business through Social Media
- Share the business online with the world
- Scale the business through collaboration
Founded on what I then called “Malva Methodology” established in 2010, it was an event that was jam-packed with case studies, proven models, guidebooks, and toolkits. I aimed to show that the proof really is, in the pudding by sharing results that spoke for themselves.
I trained the group on how to define exactly what they wanted to create with (what’s now called) Create Business Academy. But back then, it was called Malva Academy.
Here’s a video of the event.
When I moved to America, I changed the name to Alchemist Academy and then Business School for Coaches, and then The Creative Business School, before I finally settled on Create Business Academy.

In fact, inside The Vault, you’ll have access to training, courses, and resources from all the different iterations. (You’ll even get the very first Malva Academy guidebook, which has the first sparks of many of the ideas that blossomed into their own courses, pieces of training, and books.)
The heart of the academy remains the same. It’s outside the box and inside the heart, so the methods are alternative and artistic.
