You love your work. Your results are stellar. You’re changing clients’ lives.
You’re creating $10k-40k months. But you’ve hit a plateau, and you can’t seem to grow past it.
That’s where I come in.
You’re great at what you do. Your clients love you, and you’re proud of the impact you make.
You know your work changes lives. You want to take it to the next level and start changing the world.
While you’re grateful for what you’ve built and where it’s gotten you, you’re eager for more.
If you’re like most people I talk to, you’ve built your business through relationships. You love people, you love connections, and you love supporting your clients.
As a result, your clients are your biggest cheerleaders. They leave glowing reviews, they help spread the word, and they refer their friends. And that’s been enough to build a thriving business.
And that’s my favorite problem to solve.
I love finding the few key pressure points that can shift everything for a business.
I love strategizing and creating flywheel effects, where the offers feed each other and automatically build momentum.
I love streamlining and automating, so that systems handle repetitive tasks and keep operations running smoothly.
I love finding ways to make the most of what you’ve already built.
Maybe most of all, I love creating acquisition systems to fill your programs, predictably and reliably.
And none of it counts unless it scales up the business and makes your life easier.
HERE’S WHAT MOST PEOPLE OVERLOOK
Most business advice out there comes from the world of bro marketing: grow at any cost. Work harder than anyone else. Give more. Do more. Work even harder. Measure success in commas and Lambourghinis.
Never be satisfied, no matter how much you achieve (because none of it means anything anyway).
You’re here to make a difference, and the best way to do that is not by working harder and doing more. Let’s face it: if hard work was all it took, you’d already be there.
Instead, the “secret” is to build your business around your Zone of Genius. In case you’re not familiar, your Zone of Genius is the intersection of your greatest strengths and what you love doing.
You may be good at many things. You may even be excellent at many. But you have your greatest impact when you’re doing what you’re best at and absolutely love.
And that’s the key to creating a business that creates massive impact, generates wealth, and gives you a great life.
Here’s what I believe.
It’s a full life, with:
plenty of time
plenty of money
plenty of energy
plenty of inspiration
plenty of joy
It also includes:
excellent health
deep connections with friends and family
spiritual growth
hobbies
time to stare at the clouds and dream
Most people never achieve that. They trade their lives for business success, or they stay small so they can keep everything else.
That tradeoff is not required. You can have it all. And the key is making the most of your Zone of Genius in your business.
That’s where I come in. I specialize in Zone of Genius scaling for spiritual entrepreneurs.
We Get the Big Picture
First, we’ll look at what you’ve built, what’s working, what’s not working, what you love, and what you don’t. We’ll look at what you enjoy doing, what you’d like more of, and what you don’t want growth to cost you. You’ll help me understand what you want the business to become.
We Find the Leverage Points
This is key: we don’t want to change everything. We just want to find the one or two key leverage points where small changes will make the most difference. That’s where we’ll focus our work together. For example, this could mean improving an offer, building more connections between existing offers, reaching more of the right people, or building a better customer-acquisition system.
We Build the Growth System
We turn the strategy into a practical plan and start building. For you, this may mean recording content for a sales video or mini-program. For me, it’s offer flows, sales funnels, launch sequences, ads, automations, and acquisition systems.
We Ship
We put our ideas out into the world, instead of guessing or speculating what people might want. We test concepts. We put out offers. We launch and gather data, so we can see what works and do more of that.
We Optimize
As the offers run and sales come in, we get real data on what works and what people want. We learn from that and keep doubling down on success as we go, so our launches and programs keep getting better and more profitable as time goes on.
We Scale
Businesses grow by getting in front of more people, making more offers, and increasing the average order value. We’ll do a balance of these, tailored to our specific goals for your business.
How many of these sound familiar?
Maybe you’ve tried the PR route, booking yourself for as many articles and podcast interviews as you could handle. But after all that work, results were inconsistent and unreliable. One appearance might land you 50 leads, while another might bring in only two. And meanwhile, it takes so much time and energy.
Maybe you’ve tried hiring consultants or agencies in the past. Even though they had tons of experience and success, it was mostly with businesses that were nothing like yours. Ultimately, they cost a lot of money and never seemed to take you seriously. And, most of all, they couldn’t get you the results you wanted.
Maybe you’ve tried your hand at running ads yourself, but you just ended up losing money. There’s so much to learn, and you don’t have the interest or energy to spend years mastering copywriting, ad design, media buying, and the ever-changing rules of all the different platforms.
Maybe you’ve joined done-with-you programs to try to learn how to scale your business, but that’s not your passion. You’d rather be doing your work than trying to figure out how to sell more of it.
Maybe you’ve tried coaching programs or mastermind groups. The support was nice, and maybe you even made a deal or two, but it still didn’t get you where you want to go.
You’re not just a number to me, and I’m not going to ask you to become a marketing wizard. That’s my job. I’m not going to ask you to become a Make Money Online business or sell physical products, either.
I specialize in helping spiritual entrepreneurs scale up. This is what I do, because it’s what I love doing. I’m an idealist, just like you. I want to make the world a better place. I used to do it as the expert in my own business, where I taught authors how to succeed on Amazon.
That was fun and I was good at it, but it was not my Zone of Genius. This is.
I love developing visions and strategies, planning a flow of offerings that feed each other, building the marketing and funnels to make it all work, and setting up systems to make it all smooth and reliable.
I love putting all the pieces together behind the scenes so that launches go off without a hitch.
I love tweaking and optimizing to make everything more efficient and profitable.
I love copywriting and graphic design and making videos.
I love learning the weird little strategies to make ads run better.
And I love developing my skills and getting better and better.
And, for the right business, I get paid only if I actually produce results. Depending what we build for your business, the up-front cost of the work I’ll do for you would be in the range of $20,000 to $40,000. I’d expect you to make that back within a few months, so it would be well worth it at that price. But I’m not really in the market for clients right now.
You bring the expertise, the vision, and the passion for your work. I bring the strategy, the marketing, and the systems to scale it up and bring your vision to life.

Your high-ticket program is always full.
New buyers flow into your business every day. Your offerings feed each other, creating a flywheel effect, so sales keep getting easier over time.
The business runs smoothly, with reliable systems and team, so you can focus on the parts that only you can do.
You’re spending more time in your Zone of Genius, so you have more time and energy, not less—even though you’re serving more people, creating greater impact, and receiving more money.
You get to take time off, travel, spend time with your family—whatever is important to you. Your work life is built around your life-life, not the other way around.
Your clients are blown away by the power of your work, and it keeps getting better all the time, because you have the spaciousness to keep receiving inspirations and developing your craft.
You feel excited, inspired, proud of what you’re creating, and eager for more.
You’re finally having the impact you’ve always imagined, and it just keeps getting better and better.
I understand you may have some questions. After you apply, we’ll talk more to answer all of your questions and make sure it’s a good match. But for now, here are the answers to some common questions.
It means we work together and co-create to grow your business, each bringing our own expertise to the table.
You bring the deep knowledge of your work, your vision for what you want to create, and your relationship with your clients. I bring the growth strategy, offer development, marketing, funnels, advertising, and systems that help turn that vision into a thriving business. Together, we can build success and impact on a level that neither of us could create alone.
To be clear, I’m not talking about a legal partnership. I’m talking about two people working together as a team, to build something great.
As a contractor, I would make recommendations and then build what we agreed I’d build. You’d be the client, you’d pay me up front, and you’d be the sole owner of whatever I create.
As a partner, it’s more like two friends baking a new pie together, and sharing the pie we made.
For the right partner, instead of paying me up front to build marketing materials and systems to scale your business, I get a percentage of the profits I bring in. All of your existing revenue from your existing efforts remains yours. I just get a cut of the new revenue I bring in.
In this arrangement, I’ll typically put in $20,000 to $40,000 worth of work up front with no guarantee of return, so I only want to do that with one or two dream partners. For me, that’s someone with an established track record of success, someone whose work I find inspiring, someone I really like and would want to be friends with anyway, and someone I’d want to keep working with for years.
That's the range I'm primarily interested in, because it suggests you've already established that people want what you offer. You've got clients, results, and a business worth growing.
But monthly revenue alone doesn't tell the whole story. I'll also want to understand your offers, your margins, how customers find you, and where you see the biggest opportunities. The important thing is that there's a solid foundation to build on.
If you’re not at this level yet, we still may be able to work together on a work-for-hire or done-with-you basis. Apply and let’s talk.
I specialize in helping spiritual entrepreneurs scale up. That doesn’t necessarily mean your business has to be about spirituality. It’s more that I love working with idealists who are out to change the world for the better.
You might be a coach, teacher, practitioner, consultant, or creator with an established audience and a high-value program. What matters most is that your work genuinely helps people, your clients value what you do, and you have a vision for reaching more of them.
I'm particularly interested in businesses that have grown through referrals, relationships, and organic audience-building, but haven't yet developed a reliable system for acquiring customers at scale. That’s where my work creates the most benefit.
I love working with businesses that already have a high-ticket program, because from there, it’s easy to find a short path to bigger success. But there are many different ways to make money, and I’m not married to that one. If yours is working for you, let’s find a way to scale it up. I’m not going to put you in a box or try to give you a one-size-fits-all solution.
Great! Most successful businesses have. I know I’ve had some of these expensive learning experiences myself.
For our work together, I’d be interested in understanding what happened with the solutions that didn’t work out, and learning what we can from it. We can use that data as a head start to make our work together more successful faster.
First, I’d walk though everything with you to identify the one or two key leverage points that will make the most difference. Then I’d start building whatever is needed to take advantage of them.
To give you an example, for a business that’s already running a high-ticket program but struggles to fill it, I’d work on bringing more people into that program. Depending on the situation, this might mean running a launch to the existing audience to get them enrolled. It might mean creating a taster event to get people excited for more and ready to enroll. It might mean building a self-liquidating ad campaign to bring an influx of new people into the audience, and then ascending them into the program. It might mean doing all of these and more over time.
In short, we identify the highest leverage constraint and solve it quickly. My part is the strategy, systems, and marketing to make that happen. Your part is serving your clients and delivering your work with excellence, so they keep benefitting from your work and wanting more.
In the long term, my goal is for our work together to add to your life, not take from you. I have no interest in building things that create more work for either of us. I intend to build customer acquisition and ascension systems that bring in an abundant flow of clients for your programs and make your life easier, not harder. Maybe you do a launch now and then if you want to, but from your perspective, the marketing pretty much handles itself.
That’s the long-term goal. But to get started, we’ll both have some up-front investment of time and effort to get me familiar with your business, clear on your vision, and ready to build. Depending on what we're building, you may need to record content, contribute to a new offer, approve creative, or help us understand what your customers need. Plan to spend 5-10 hours a week at first, until we get the first key leverage point solved.
That depends where you are and what we build first, but money loves speed, and so do I. My goal is to implement our first change and start seeing money from it within 4-6 weeks. I can’t promise we’ll be able to do that, especially if it takes a long time to get information or materials from you, but that is my goal. If we’re doing a profit-share, I don’t see any return on my effort until there’s profit to share, so I’m motivated to get there as soon as possible.
That’s where I come in! Let’s face it, if you already knew what needed to change and how to change it, you would have already done it by now. It’s hard to see the blind spots from inside the business—that’s normal.
This is one way I can really add value for you. I bring an outside perspective, and one of my greatest strengths is identifying the biggest opportunity and how to make the most of it. I can absolutely help you with this.
Good. That’s exactly the kind of people I like to work with.
The purpose of marketing is not to take advantage of people or convince them to buy something they don’t want or need. It’s to get your offerings in front of the people who want and need them. Marketing is a service that benefits them by helping them get what they want. Even the marketing materials themselves, I design to help the audience gain a new insight, learn something, see themselves differently, or benefit in some other way, even if they don’t end up buying.
In short, we’ll use the marketing to serve your mission, not the other way around.
If you’re worried about the marketing sucking up all of your time, what we’re creating is actually the opposite. I’ll take ownership of the marketing and use it to create results that give you more freedom and make your life better.
We’ll have a conversation about your business, what you’ve built so far, where you want to go, and what you think is getting in the way.
I’ll want to understand your goals, your current offers, and the economics of the business. We’ll also talk about how we might work together and whether a profit-sharing arrangement makes sense.
If it seems like a match, we can explore what it would look like to work together. If it doesn’t, there’s no obligation to move forward.
We’re not here to make you a “product.”
We’re here to help you create more impact, serve more clients, and build the kind of business that gives you both freedom and wealth.
With the help of my team, I’ve launched 50+ offers, resulting in over $1.7 million in revenue. I’m a marketer, strategist, designer, and a huge fan of creators who want to do work that actually matters.
You bring the vision, voice, and magic. I bring the strategy, systems, and marketing to help you scale it.
