Last year I was working 14+ hour days building my agency.
We generated $2,900,000 over 2 years.
But I only took home $120K for myself.
For my 30th birthday last week, I made a decision:
This year I'm building a business that will get me to $100k/month with:
• more freedom
• less stress
• more profit in MY bank account
Here's the exact roadmap I'm following to escape the agency trap and build automated income systems:
----------------------
1/ Shift from service to systems.
I'm focusing on these automated income sources:
• authority workshops ($7-$297)
• portfolio partners (build + manage)
• strategic consulting
• partner revenue shares
• lean automated sale systems
These systems will help me escape the time-for-money trap for good...
----------------
2/ The Whisperer
Most coaches struggle with constant client hunting.
Why?
They're selling to everyone.
That's why I'm making it my priority to only work with people I truly align with.
When you're selective about WHO you work with,
Your business becomes enjoyable again.
I focus on:
• creators who already have audiences
• coaches with expertise but poor systems
• consultants stuck in the hourly model
The result?
My business grows through alignment, not desperation.
And my best clients come from referrals.
----------------------------------
3/ $5/day Predictability.
99% believe all you need is:
• Organic reach
• Viral content
• Massive follower count
In order to build consistent income.
The problem?
There are thousands of creators with huge followings making nothing.
So how do you ensure consistent cash flow?
Yes, content is important, but you need more than that.
That's where tiny ads come into play.
Instead of just posting and praying,
I create predictable income with small daily ad spend:
$5-10/day targeted campaigns that sell my workshops 24/7 and grow my following at the same time
This way I'm going from hustling for every sale to waking up to notifications of new customers.
If your funnel works, a small ad budget creates massive leverage.
This is how I'll scale to consistent 5-figures without being glued to my phone.
-------------------------
4/ Business around life, not life around business.
There are 2 types of entrepreneurs:
1) Making 6-7 figures but miserable, burned out and lonely
2) Making less but enjoying freedom, relationships and health
Why not have both?
When you build systems instead of just services,
You can scale your income without sacrificing your life.
How?
Ruthless boundaries.
I don't:
• work beyond 4 hours daily
• chase clients who aren't a perfect fit
• build systems I don't enjoy maintaining
This way,
I'm not just building a business,
I'm building a life I actually want to live.
And I'm making more money doing it.
------------------------------
P.S And if you're looking to:
• Escape the agency/service trap
• Build automated income systems
• Create a business that works around YOUR life

And I'll get back to see if we're a good fit.
🏆 Here’s a simple fix that turned a dead program into $10k in a few weeks…
One of my client had a program that had a very low completion.
People weren’t taking action.
So we stripped it back refined the positioning, relaunched it.
I added a more gamify model to the offer
Already at $10k in the first few weeks.
Without any new sales call or new lead
Just the right message, finally in front of the right people.
So try gamify your fulfillment if you want to get higher completion and retention rate.
Just started working with someone who has 40k IG followers.
Spent years building the audience.
But can’t figure out the monetization
Now we’re building this ascension ecosystem.
Going viral is a skill.
Turning it into an education business is a completely different one.
Most people don’t realize that until they try.
My old agency did $2.9M in 2 years and I paid myself 120k in those 2 years.
Sometimes you think it’s for the greater good
But looking back it was more naivety
Growing the new business the right way.
We live we learn
How much should a startup CEO pay themselves?
When my last co did $2m, I paid myself ~$24,000/year. At around $5m, I paid myself like $50,000.
That was VERY stupid of me. Made me feel defensive, like money was scarce, and impatient for an exit.
Very dumb. Very, very dumb.
Had I known what I know now, I 100% would have paid myself much more. I legit felt poor and it made me make stupid decisions, even when the biz had +$1m in the bank account.
We surveyed a bunch of members and asked them what they pay themselves. Ranges from companies with $0 revenue (but some funding) all the way up to $100m/year in rev.

Collected $126,648 in 12 weeks on cold traffic using a paid workshop instead of a free webinar.
Broke down the exact offer architecture we used so you can steal it (simple but wildly profitable)
Feels crazy giving this away for FREE.
Like, RT, Comment "Workshop" for the video
(Must be following)
I just had a coach tell me he’d rather keep doing 1:1 even if he’s burned out.
Wild.
Here’s the thing…
You’re not “protecting quality” by staying 1:1.
You’re protecting your ego.
Because scaling means letting go of control…
And that scares the sh*t out of most coaches.
Meanwhile…
I just launched a new community ecosystem for another coach who added $3k to her business this week…
Without doing a single sales call.
Zero 1:1s.
No DMs.
No Zoom fatigue.
Just systems that work while she sleeps.
If you’re burnt out but refuse to change…
You’re choosing to stay stuck.
And I can’t help you with that.
