Helping non-tech Founders transform Ideas into SaaS products @ VeryCreatives | Product Agency, SaaS & MVP Development | Startups

Most non-technical founders struggle turning their SaaS idea into a scalable product.

They waste months (or even years):
→ Trying to hire the right developers
→ Burning cash on poor planning and execution
→ Second-guessing every technical decision along the way

Meanwhile, competitors move faster, investors demand traction, and the pressure to deliver keeps building more and more.

I've seen it happen far too many times.
Which is exactly why we started VeryCreatives.

We help early-stage founders go from idea to market-ready MVP in just 90 days...
...all without the stress of managing a development team of your own or writing a single line of code.

For the past 12 years, we’ve been building products for venture-backed startups, fast-growing scale-ups, and even globally recognized brands like Red Bull, Nestlé, and Philips.

Here’s how it works:

👉 1. Clarify your product strategy: 
First, we validate your idea, define your MVP scope, and ensure you’re building something the market actually wants.

👉 2. Create a world-class user experience:
Next, our design team crafts stunning, intuitive interfaces that set your product apart from the competition.

👉 3. Develop a high-quality, scalable MVP:
Finally, we build a robust and investor-ready product that quickly gets you to market (without cutting corners).

The startups we work with have:
✔️ Launched investor-ready MVPs in under 90 days
✔️ Secured funding from top-tier investors and VCs
✔️ Scaled from first users to thousands of paying customers

So if you’re a non-technical founder looking to turn your idea into a fully built MVP in the next 90 days... all without the stress or headache?

Last week was tough for us.

One of our team members decided to move on after 9 years.

He joined when his kids were still young. Now they’re almost adults.

Over nearly a decade, he became a core part of the company. A leader. A pillar.

But when he told us he was ready for something new, we completely understood.

Because that's the kind of culture we’ve built here at VeryCreatives.

We talk a lot about creating a workplace where people WANT to stay.

But we also want it to be a place they can leave — on good terms, with support, and without regrets.

Sure, it's true that people move from job to job more often now.

But in our case, many team members have been with us for 5, 8, even 10+ years.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

We’ve always tried to build something stable in an unstable world. No politics. No corporate ladder drama. Just good people solving interesting problems together.

And when life happens, whether it's marriages, kids, or relocations, we adapt.

This year alone, we’ve celebrated milestone birthdays across the team — 30, 40, 50. We’re not just working side by side. We’re walking through life stages together.

That’s why people stay for as long as they do.

Because they know VeryCreatives is a place where you can grow AND feel safe. Where your work matters, but so does your life outside of it.

And when someone does eventually decide to move on?

They don’t just disappear. They stay part of the story. Some drop by for a beer. Others come back to work on new projects.

They leave a mark, and they always will.

The bottom line is this:

In a world that’s constantly shifting, it still matters (more than ever) to build something stable.

Not just a place where you can work. But a place where you can belong.

Helping startup founders & innovation labs validate and scale ideas into exit-ready products @ VeryCreatives | 🔥 Two decades in tech

Almost every time, the founders joining our MVP validation sprints come with a crystal-clear product idea… or so they think:

They have a list of features, a target market, and a deadline.

They want us to say "yes, we love it" and build fast.

Instead, 9 times out of 10, we push back.

We challenge every assumption:
👉 "Why do you need this feature?"
👉 "Has any user actually asked for it?"
👉  "What’s the fastest way to test if people will pay?"

Yes, it causes tension. Nobody likes to have their vision picked apart.

But after 2 days of interviews and rapid prototyping, all the flaws in your core hypothesis start to show up.

Sometimes, this means we cut ~70% of the features people just don’t care about.

And that’s what we’re here for. We help you ditch the noise and focus on what actually will grow your SaaS in the early stages.

It’s not a clean-cut process. It gets messy (and annoying) sometimes.

But our goal is to get you to real validation, a leaner MVP, and a demo users get genuinely excited about.

If you want that and a team that won’t nod along, but challenge you: DM me.

How we go from idea →validated MVP in 6 weeks (step by step):

1. Week 0: Ruthless alignment

We start by killing the founder’s “pet features” and locking in the one problem that makes or breaks the business.

If you can’t explain your core value prop in one blunt sentence, you’re not ready to build.

2. Week 1: Real user interviews (no survey BS)

We get the founder out of their bubble.

Talk to 5-10 target users, live (not with a Google Form).

Ask about their last real pain, not “Would you use this?”

This is where most SaaS ideas die (and that’s a good thing).

3. Week 2: Risk mapping

We list every assumption that could destroy your business model.

Then we grab the riskiest one and design our MVP to smash it fast.

No “nice to haves.” Only “must have” proof.

4. Week 3–4: Design-driven build

We use wireframes to map just the critical user flow – nothing more.

Our dev team builds only what’s needed for a real-life test.

If it feels embarrassingly lean, you’re on the right track.

5. Week 5: First contact

We put your ugly MVP in front of real users.

We measure: 

👉 Will they pay?
👉 Will they switch?
👉 Will they commit?

Crickets or confusion? That’s data, not failure.

6. Week 6: Debrief

If users bite, we double down.

If not, we pivot or kill it.

Every week, clarity beats comfort.

Okay, but how is this sprint different from something you can do on your own?

You get:

👉 A full team (PM, design, dev, QA) running tight Agile sprints.

👉 Weekly reports, no black boxes.

👉 3 months of post-launch support – because the real learning really starts after launch.

More details in the first comment – check it out 👇

The mistake I still see after 15 years building SaaS:

Founders obsess over “v2” features because building feels safer than hearing “no.”

So they polish and perfect, hoping bells and whistles can distract from the core risk:

It happens every quarter.

Another founder sinks months into a slick analytics dashboard.

Custom charts, exports, Slack alerts… you name it.

But when launch day comes, nobody even uploads their first dataset.

The question I’m asking my clients is:

Will anyone care enough to use v0.5?

Every “nice to have” is just a shield against the real test.

And every hour spent hiding behind code is a bet that gets more expensive.

All you need is proof someone will bother to try your ugly, unfinished, brutally honest version.

Start hunting for rejection.

Your skills + The One Page Offer™ + 16 weeks = $10k/mo recurring profit | DM me "ONE" for details

In 2017, my life changed forever – I lost my job due to a freak fire.

And that wasn't even the worst part:

• I was working at a job I hated
• My network was filled with losers
• I was living a terribly unhealthy lifestyle

Of course, I didn't know things were all that bad – until I found myself on unemployment.

The next morning, after I let the dust settle a bit, I told myself that I was going to write for 30 days, no matter what.

30 days turned into over 100 fast.

100 days turned into 5+ years.

And now here I am:

• 7,400+ newsletter subscribers
• 50,000 follower audience on Twitter
• 22,000 follower audience on Medium

And a profitable creator business as a result.

Now – the last thing I'll ever tell you is that it was easy – because it wasn't (and still isn't).

But I'll tell you this: it was simple.

Or – at least it's simple when you understand the:

• Strategies
• Patterns
• Tactics

That help you save time, money, and unwanted headaches.

And that's why I'm here.

I want to teach you what I know. From:

• Copywriting
• Offer creation
• Effective writing
• Audience Building
• Digital monetization

And everything in between.

I can't wait to go on this journey with you.

I'll see you in the timeline & in the comments.

Keep building.

The $100K blueprint everyone ignores:

It's not:

• Sexy
• Scalable
• Automated

(at least yet...)

But it works every single time.

Here it is:

1. Choose a niche
2. Craft a clear offer
3. Give to 10 people for free
4. Collect testimonials like they're GOLD
5. Convert your next client via content
6. Raise your price by 25%

Rinse and repeat steps 4-6.

(Like... damn near religiously...)

I've watched a thousand creators skip this formula.

They want the advanced stuff:

• Automated funnels
• Course platforms  
• Membership sites
• Digital product empires

Meanwhile, simple service providers are quietly hitting $100K.

Because they understand something crucial:

Your average client value matters more than your client count.

10 clients at $10,000 = $100K
100 clients at $1,000 = $100K
1,000 clients at $100 = $100K

Guess which one is easier to manage?
Guess which one has higher profit margins?
Guess which one doesn't require a massive audience?

The ascending price model is your secret weapon:

Every "yes" at your new price builds confidence
Every client success raises your market value
Every testimonial justifies higher rates

Start at $500.
Move to $625.
Then $780.
Then $975.

By client #50, you're charging $1,500+ for the same service you started at $500.

(and mind you -  25% is just a suggestion - you can always go higher the more comfortable and systematized you get)

Same expertise. 
Same deliverable. 

Different positioning.

Because here's the thing about pricing:

It's not about what you think you're worth.

It's about what the market will pay for transformation.

(Read that again)

(And then again...)

And the market will pay more as you prove your value.

Stop looking for the complex solution

Start executing the simple one

No alternative text description for this image

Most people overcomplicate getting to $10K/month.

They think they need: 

• Complex funnels
• MASSIVE audiences
• Completely unique offers

But I've watched dozens of clients hit $10K with something much simpler:

1. Get one client

Stop building the "perfect" offer. 

Start with one person who has a problem you can solve. 

Even if it's messy. Even if it's not "scalable"

(Yet...)

2. Do a great job

Over-deliver on everything. 
Show up early, stay late, anticipate their needs. 

This client becomes your case study for the next one.

3. Charge more (to get another client)

Double your price. Seriously. 
Your first client proved the value exists. 

Your second client should pay for that proof.

4. Deliver an even better result

You learned from client #1. 

Apply those lessons to client #2. 

Better systems, clearer communication, faster results.

5. Repeat until you make $10K/month

Keep raising prices as you get better. 

$500 becomes $1000. 
$1000 becomes $2000. 
$2000 becomes $5000.

Most people want the complex strategy.

But the simple path works faster.

One client at a time.
One great result at a time.
One price increase at a time.

Until you're making more money than most people with "big" businesses.

The most people I know feel like imposters.

Not because they don't know their stuff. But because:

They can't SEE how valuable their stuff actually is.

This is the expertise paradox:

The deeper your knowledge, the more "basic" it feels to you.

But to someone struggling with that exact problem?

𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙.

I watch this play out constantly:

Creator: "This is just common sense."
Audience: "This breakthrough saved my business."

Creator: "Everyone already knows this."
Audience: "I've been doing this wrong for years."

Creator: "Why would they pay for something so simple?"
Audience: "Take my money right now."

Here's the truth about scaling as a service provider:

Your growth is invisible to you but obvious to everyone else.

The knowledge you dismiss is worth six figures.
The abilities you ignore could change someone's life.
The skills you take for granted can solve their problems.

The modern client ascension path proves this:

• Content → eyeballs (they see your expertise)
• Eyeballs → followers (they want more)
• Followers → subscribers (they trust your process)
• Subscribers →customers (they invest in results)
• Customers →community (they get transformation)
• Community → high-ticket (their life changes)

Each step up this ladder validates what you can't see in yourself.

Each paying customer is proof that your "basic" knowledge isn't basic at all.

Stop waiting to feel qualified.

You already are.

Start packaging what you know.

Someone needs exactly what you have.

$20,000 a month working 80 hours.

Versus:

$10,000 a month working 4 hours.

Guess which one most people choose?

The first one. 

Because they think more effort equals more results.

I used to think that too.

I built:

• 7 different courses
• 12 different funnels
• 23 different sequences

I was the Swiss Army knife of online business.

Problem? 

Swiss Army knives are mediocre at everything.

Then I discovered the opposite approach:

I call it, "One Step Marketing™"

One clear path from stranger to customer:

Content → Lead Magnet → Course → Community → High-Ticket

That's it.

For my clients, it's a natural progression:

• Get value from content
• Solve problem with lead magnet
• Handle bigger challenge with course
• Find support/accountability in community
• Get complete transformation with high-ticket

For my business, it's automated growth:

• Content builds audience
• Lead magnet gets prospects
• Course qualifies ready buyers
• Community creates retention
• High-ticket delivers ultimate profit

Simple for them. 

Scalable for you.

The magic isn't in having more options.

It's in having one perfect path.

Complexity is the enemy of execution.

Clarity is the engine of freedom.

I once had a prospect tell me my prices were "too low."

That's when I realized something most never figure out:

If you're charging $10 for your product, you will attract customers who only have $10.

If you're charging $100, you will attract customers who have $100.

If you're charging $10,000, you will...

(You get the idea at this point.)

Price isn't just a cost.

It's a qualifier.

Here's what nobody tells you about lowering your prices:

You're not just making less money.

You're actively repelling the clients you actually want.

(Seriously... read that again - and intentionally...)

The ones who:

• Value quality over bargains
• Take action instead of just consuming
• Respect your time and expertise
• Get results because they're invested

They see your $27 course and think:

"𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 $2,700. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦?"

Meanwhile, you're stuck with:

• Refund requests from people who "didn't have time"
• Bad reviews because it "wasn't what they expected"
• Endless questions from people who want everything

I like to use this restaurant analogy:

(Because... well I spent 15 years in fine-dining)

Michelin-starred restaurants don't compete on price.

They charge premium because premium attracts premium.

People who can afford $300 dinners don't complain about the portion size.

People who can afford $3 dinners complain about everything.

Your pricing tells the market exactly who you serve.

Charge like a McDonald's? 

Get McDonald's customers.

Charge like a five-star restaurant? 
Get five-star customers.

Of course, remember...

A lot of this comes down to you.

You cannot charge beaucoup right out of the box.

The responsibility is on you to hone:

• Your skills
• Your delivery
• Your expertise

But once you do

The doors open...

Stop racing to the bottom.

Start climbing to the top.

Here's what Tim Ferriss didn't tell you:

Everyone wants the 4-hour workweek. Nobody wants:

The 4,000-hour buildup.

The best entrepreneurs aren't trying to work less.

They're trying to work on something they can't stop thinking about.

You do this by:

• Obsessing over a problem
• Doing whatever you can to fix it
• Reverse-engineering the solution
• Packaging that solution into an offer
• Getting that in front of as many as possible
• Obsessing even more on delivering results

Over and over.

The pursuit of being the best in your small corner of the internet

Is how you lose complete sense of time

And gain complete sense of clarity on your purpose.

Passive income is a myth.

𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹.

Find something you'd do for free.

Then figure out how to get paid handsomely for it.

That's the real 4-hour workweek:

When work stops feeling like work.

The advice that nearly destroyed my business:

(and I see it destroying so many others...)

"Diversify your revenue streams."

Sounds smart, right?

It's actually the fastest way to stay broke.

Here's what I learned building my first $10K month...

Simplicity wins:

1. Master one skill
2. Solve one problem
3. Serve one audience

But here's the part everyone misses:

You need multiple ENTRY POINTS, not multiple OFFERS.

There's a massive difference.

Multiple offers = serving different people with different problems.

Multiple entry points = serving the SAME person at different commitment levels.

Let me explain with my own journey:

Two years ago, I was the "diversified" creator:

• LinkedIn course ($197)
• Email templates ($47)
• 1:1 coaching ($200/hour)
• Group mastermind ($497/month)

Four different audiences.
Four different transformations.
Four different marketing messages.

I was exhausted. Confused. And barely profitable.

Today, I have ONE offer with three entry points:

• On-demand course: $
• Community access option:$$
• Group coaching program: $$$
• Done-with-you one-on-one: $$$$

Same transformation: 
Same audience: 
Same me.

But now people can enter at their comfort level.

The hesitant starter begins with the course.
The action-taker joins the group.
The serious entrepreneur goes premium.

This creates ascension, not confusion.

You meet prospects where they are—financially and psychologically.

The result?

Clear messaging. 
Focused expertise. 
Predictable income.

Because when you try to serve everyone, you serve no one well.

When you try to solve every problem, you solve none completely.

The creators making real money aren't the ones with dozens of different courses.

They're the ones who became known for ONE thing and created multiple ways to access it.

Focus isn't limiting.

It's liberating.

One creator makes $5K/mo. The other, $50K/mo.

What's the difference?

The $50K creator figured out something profound:

The Law of Attraction is incomplete...

You don't attract what you want.

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚.

Creator #1 is constantly trying to convert more people at lower prices:

• "Let me make this affordable for everyone"
• "I'll add more bonuses to justify the cost"
• "Maybe if I discount it, they'll say yes"

He became a discount provider.

So he attracted discount seekers.

Creator #2 took a different approach:

• Raised prices from $500 to $5,000
• Focused on premium results for fewer people
• Positioned himself as the obvious expert choice

He became a premium authority.

So he attracted premium clients.

This isn't just pricing psychology.

It's identity physics. 

(I'm going to trademark that...)

When you compete on price:

• You think like a commodity
• You feel like you're "lucky to get clients"
• You deliver whatever keeps people from complaining

You become lower value.

When you charge premium prices:

• You think like an expert
• You feel confident in your worth
• You deliver results that justify the investment

You become higher value.

The market is just a mirror.

It reflects exactly who you are.

Most solo creators are stuck in the value-proving trap:

"I'll charge more once I prove I'm worth it."

But that's backwards.

Charge more first.

Then become worth it.

Your prices force your identity upgrade:

• At $500, you can afford to be casual
• At $5,000, you must be exceptional

The price creates the pressure.
The pressure creates the growth.
The growth attracts better clients.

Stop racing to the bottom.
Start climbing to the top.

Raise your prices.
Raise your identity.
Raise your standards.

Because you don't attract what you want.

You attract what you are.

You cannot convince me otherwise…

Most offers die because: 

They're too rigid.

One price. One promise. One way in.

And when prospects aren't ready for that specific commitment? 

They bounce.

Here's what I’m talking about…

I have one core offer. 

But it has multiple entry points:

• HQ tier for community and core training
• Gold for weekly coaching and masterclass access
• 1:1 for those ready to move fast with hands-on support

Same destination. 

Different starting lines.

The problem?

Writing three different versions of the same offer without sounding repetitive or confusing was eating my time.

Each tier needed:

Its own offer doc
Its own messaging angle
Its own positioning that spoke to different readiness

But I didn't want to start from scratch three times. 

That's where most people get stuck—they either oversimplify and lose nuance, or they overwrite and confuse people.

Enter: Gamma Agent.

I've been testing it to craft offer pages for each tier—same core value proposition, but tailored messaging for where prospects are in their journey.

One prompt. 
Three versions. 
All optimized for conversion.

The result?

I'm speaking directly to different segments:

The Silver sees simplicity and community
The Gold sees structure and support
The Private client sees speed and attention

All from one offer. All painfully clear. 

All converting.

(Most important part, by the way…)

Everyone's: 

• Launching
• "Starting fresh"
• Fighting for the same attention

Smart entrepreneurs?

They start in November.

Transformation doesn't wait for January 1st.

It waits for you to stop procrastinating.

Here's what happens when you start now:

• March: They're wondering why nothing's working

The 6-figure playbook doesn't care about calendars:

• Find one problem you can solve better than anyone
• Package it into a clear, valuable, scalable offer
• Connect with people who need it most

Start today.

But because every day you wait is revenue you're leaving on the table.

While everyone else is making resolutions?

You'll be making money.

watch it here: https://lnkd.in/ef7FT37q

The creator who launched their "good enough" course last month? They made more than the creator who's:

Been "perfecting" theirs for a year.

I'm convinced that by not being a perfectionist—

You're already ahead of 95% of the people.

Because perfectionism is just fear wearing a fancy outfit.

While others are building:

• The perfect funnel
• The perfect ad strategy  
• The perfect team of VAs

You're doing the one thing that matters:

Finding what works. 

And doing more of it...

The system isn't complicated:

• Post content for eyeballs
• Turn those eyeballs into followers
• Those followers into subscribers
• Those subscribers into customers
• Those customers into community
• The community into high-ticket clients

Difficult to master?

Absolutely.

Simple to understand?

Completely.

And here's the secret nobody talks about:

You don't need to be perfect at every step.

You just need to be present for every step.

Show up with average content consistently—
beats showing up with perfect content occasionally.

Send mediocre emails every week—
beats sending the "perfect" email never.

Launch your imperfect offer now—
beats launching your perfect offer someday.

Because "someday" isn't a business strategy.

It's a cemetery for dreams that were too polished to live.

The top 5% know something the other 95% don't:

Done beats perfect.

Every single time.

/ The most profitable skill you'll ever learn?

It's not: 

• marketing
• copywriting
• or even sales

It's the ability to get s**t done.

Fast.

Money loves speed.

Your clients love speed.

Transformation happens at the speed of implementation.

Not perfection.

The greatest solo creators I know have one thing in common:

They move fast
Experiment often
And pivot without drama

While others are still "researching" their market, they've already launched.

While others are perfecting their sales page, they're already collecting money.

While others are waiting for the "right time," they're already helping people.

You can have the greatest offer in the world.

But if you edit it into submission...
If you over-engineer every detail...
If you wait for it to be "perfect"...

You'll miss your window.

The market rewards action, not intention.

Your ideal client isn't waiting for your masterpiece.

They're waiting for their problem to be solved.

Today.

Right now.

Speed isn't about being sloppy.

It's about being decisive.

It's about shipping version 1.0 so you can learn what version 2.0 should be.

It's about getting feedback from real humans with real problems and real credit cards.

Not from your journal.
Not from your mastermind group.
Not from your mentor calls.

From the market.

The only vote that counts is a purchase.

Everything else is just noise.

Stop editing.
Start shipping.

Money is waiting on the other side of your hesitation.

How to make $10K months your new normal.

I remember my first $10K month.

• I screenshotted the Stripe balance
• I called my now wife
• I took a deep breath

I felt like I'd won the lottery.

Then month two hit $10K again.

Sudden relief: "Maybe this wasn't a fluke."

By month three, I was planning how to hit $15K.

Because $10K had become my baseline.

Here's what I learned about turning miracles into habits:

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 (𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲)

Most creators build audiences first.

Big mistake.

Start with a $1K-$5K offer that solves a specific problem for a specific person.

Now you only need 2-5 clients per month.

Not 200...

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆

Forget viral content. Write for your ideal client.

Every post should make them think: 

"This person understands my struggle."

One post. 
One problem. 
One day at a time.

Consistency beats virality.

Social media is the appetizer.

Private conversations are the main course.

When someone comments or DMs, move them to email or text.

That's where relationships form.

That's where trust builds.

That's where money changes hands.

After delivering your offer 5 times, you'll see patterns.

• What works
• What doesn't
• What clients need most

Turn those insights into systems.

Frameworks
Templates
Processes

Now you can help more people without working more hours.

The difference between a $10K month and a $10K business?

Repeatable systems.

Most solopreneurs treat every month like starting over.

They pivot
They reinvent
They chase shiny objects

Successful creators follow the same 4 steps.

Every month.

Until $10K feels boring.

The most expensive mistake I see entrepreneurs make?

(It cost me 2 years to learn this lesson)

Trying to be "unique" instead of asking these 8 words:

"What if I made it easier for you?"

I spent years trying to create something revolutionary.

Some never-before-seen solution that would change everything.

Meanwhile, people were getting rich solving boring problems better.

Here's what actually works:

• Find a proven niche
• With a pesky problem
• And people with money
• Make the solution easier

Not sexier. Easier.

Netflix didn't invent movies.
They made watching them easier.

Spotify didn't invent music.
They made listening easier.

Zoom didn't invent meetings.
They made hosting them easier.

Your breakthrough isn't creating something new.
It's taking something that works and removing friction.

Better tech.
Simpler process.
Clearer instructions.
Faster delivery.

The market doesn't pay for innovation.
It pays for convenience.

While everyone's chasing the next big thing, you can get rich making the current thing work better.

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
Start asking how to make it roll smoother.

Why most creators never hit $10K/month.

(It honestly drives me crazy because it's not that hard...)

They're building a house without a foundation.

I see it everywhere:

"I need better copy."
"I need more funnels."
"I need more followers."

No.

You need four things...

That's it.

Because I've watched hundreds of creators, coaches, and service providers chase shiny objects while missing the fundamentals.

The ones who hit $10K consistently?

They master the basics first.

Your $10K/month business only needs:

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿

Not a service menu. 

One thing that solves one problem for one type of person.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀

Not a maze of calls and consultations. 

One clear path from interest to purchase.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺  

Not custom work every time. 

One proven process you can repeat infinitely.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹

Not omnipresence. 

One platform where you show up consistently.

Want proof?

My client:

• Was offering custom services
• With different sales processes
• Was active on 5 platforms
• Couldn't close consistently

We simplified to:

• One $1.2K offer (to convert new prospects)
• One core offer on the backend ($12,000)
• One 6-week program (ascension offer)
• One platform (LinkedIn + email)

Result? 

$13K in her second month together...

Because focus creates force.

When you try to be everything to everyone, you become nothing to no one.

When you become the go-to person for one specific transformation?

People pay premium prices.

• The best restaurants don't serve everything.
• The best doctors don't treat everything.
• The best creators don't offer everything.

Master your four foundations first.

Then add complexity.

Not before.

Why mediocre offers beat perfect ones.

(And it's not even close.)

I've watched it happen dozens of times:

Creator A spends 8 months perfecting their offer:

• Bonus materials galore
• Every module optimized
• Flawless production value

Creator B throws together a basic framework in 2 weeks.

• Simple PDF worksheets
• Basic Zoom calls
• Zero polish

Guess who makes more money?

Creator B. 

Every single time.

WhY?!

The reason is simple...

Because Creator B can SELL.

(If I could triple underline that word, I would...)

They know how to articulate value
They're comfortable asking for money
They understand their audience's pain points

Creator A? 

They hide behind "perfection" because they're terrified of rejection.

Here's what I've learned after helping 100+ creators build profitable businesses:

The most important skill in business:

Learning to sell.

The second most important skill:

Learning to automate selling.

(That word would get a double underline...)

Everything else is just expensive procrastination.

• Your funnel is worthless if you can't sell
• Your branding doesn't matter if you can't sell
• Your "perfect" offer is meaningless if you can't sell

Selling is the bridge between your knowledge and their transformation.

Without it, you're just an expensive hobbyist.

Most creators get this backwards.

They perfect the offer before they perfect the sell.

Then wonder why their "amazing" course gets crickets while their competitor's basic program prints money.

Start with selling.

Get comfortable with rejection
Learn to articulate value clearly
Practice asking for money without apologizing

Then—and only then—worry about making it "perfect."

Because a mediocre offer that sells beats a perfect offer that doesn't.

Every. Single. Time.

Every business podcast follows the same script:

(and it drives me crazy...)

• "Tell me your story."
• "What's your morning routine?"
• "Any final advice for our listeners?"

And you walk away thinking:

"Cool story. Now what do I actually DO?"

That's the problem we solved...

Let's solve your growth question together.

I discovered the $200k secret while selling wine.

(The same secret most people never learn...)

At the restaurant, our best nights weren't when we packed the dining room.

They were when we got existing customers to order:

• The expensive bottle
• The premium appetizer
• The dessert course

Same principle applies to your solo business.

Here's the blueprint that actually works:

1. Create a $500 offer
2. Get 10 clients
3. Systemize the delivery
4. Upsell 25% to a $1k/mo offer
5. Repeat step 3
6. Upsell 25% to a $2.5k/mo offer
7. Repeat step 3

Keep seeing how far you can take it.

Most creators are obsessed with getting new customers.

They should be obsessed with ascending existing ones.

Why?

Your current client has already jumped the biggest hurdle:

They trust you enough to pay you.

Everything after that is just increasing the value exchange.

Think about your favorite brands:

• Netflix started with DVDs, now it's streaming + originals
• Apple, with computers, now it's an entire ecosystem
• Amazon started with books, now it's everything

They didn't get new customers for each product.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙪𝙮 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙨.

That's the game.

Here's what this looks like in practice:

Year 1: 
10 clients × $500 = $5k/mo

Year 2: 
(7 clients × $500) + (3 clients × $1k) = $6.5k/mo

Year 3: 
(5 clients × $500) + (3 × $1k) + (2 × $2.5k) = $10.5k/mo

Same original 10 customers. Doubled your income.

Without a single new acquisition.

Stop fishing for strangers when your goldfish are ready to become sharks.

The money is in the ascension.

The math that changed everything for my business:

(That most people still overlook...)

It's 5x easier to double your prices than double your clients.

Most solo business owners get this backwards.

They're obsessed with getting more people in the door.

• More content
• More platforms
• More funnels
• More ads

Meanwhile, their best clients are ready to pay 2x, 3x, even 5x more.

They just never get asked...

I see this everywhere:

The coach with 50 clients at $500/month who could serve 10 clients at $2,500/month

The consultant doing $2K projects who could deliver $10K transformations

The designer charging $1K for logos who could create $5K brand identities

Same skills.
Same time investment.
Completely different outcomes.

But everyone's addicted to the acquisition game because it feels like growth.

"Look, I got 5 new leads this week!"
"My email list grew by 100 people!"
"I had 20 discovery calls!"

Vanity metrics that don't pay your rent.

Here's what actually moves the needle:

• Keeping the clients you have
• Serving them at a deeper level
• Asking what else they need
• Creating premium pathways

The restaurant server doesn't need more tables.

They need their current tables to order wine.

(my industry folks can hear their somm HAMMERING this into their head...)

You don't need more clients.
You need your current clients to ascend.

One problem
One person
One offer

But make that offer so good that people happily pay premium for it.

Stop chasing volume.
Start building value.

The absolute coolest thing happen recently...

I added $3,600 MRR last week.

From one email... and one simple offer doc.

It's what happens when you build a machine instead of a job.

Most creators are stuck trading time for money.

They wake up broke every morning.

Because yesterday's hustle doesn't pay today's bills.

But here's what I learned after scaling to six figures working only a few hours a day:

Everything starts with a scalable offer.

Not just any offer.

A scalable one.

Because that's your North Star for:

• Income model
• Who you're talking to
• What transformation you're selling
• How you'll deliver it

From there?

Every piece of content promotes the same thing.

Consistent message.
Consistent transformation.
Consistent sales.

This is the exact system that helped my clients:

• Close high five-figure deals
• Land their first paying customers
• Build recurring revenue streams

All without burning out or chasing every shiny object.

The best feeling in the world?

Waking up richer than when you went to bed.

That's not luck.

That's a machine.
