💸 THE TRUTH ABOUT WORRY-FREE INCOME WHEN YOU'RE SELF-EMPLOYED
Let’s talk about the dream, shall we?
You leave
the 9–5 Wage Slave job because you’re tired of working to make some other
Twatwaffle rich. You imagine mornings with strong coffee, afternoons full of
deep work, and evenings without inbox anxiety. Most importantly—you imagine
stable, consistent, predictable income. Peace of mind. Security.
And then
reality shows up like an unpaid intern who forgot your coffee.
Here’s
what no one tells you in the brochure for “Be Your Own Boss”:
Your
income, especially in the early stages, looks more like a heart monitor than a
salary. One month you’re flush. The next month you’re on a first-name basis
with your overdraft protection. Sleepless nights, rollercoaster of emotions, and
you’ll be found regularly at the bargain shelf at the supermarket.
And so
what happens?
You get
stuck in the client-chase loop. Hustling for one-off projects, undercharging to
get the gig, over delivering to keep the gig, living in fear of feast or
famine.
You might
even say something like:
“If I could just get three more clients this month, I’d be fine…”
But
here's the twist:
It’s not about getting more clients.
It’s about building a business that doesn’t need more clients every
month to survive.
That’s
what I’m teaching you to do. To package and productise your lived experience,
qualifications and know-how.
See, I
help coaches, consultants, speakers and authors create a portfolio of
offers—digital products, evergreen programs, books, online courses—that work
even when you’re not. Now [thanks to all of our new best friend] AI…
- You want to write a book?
We’ll do it in a day. Seriously.
- Launch an online course?
You’ll build it in an afternoon. Live and for sale
- Design a signature offer?
Give me an hour.
And
here’s where it gets spicy:
We use AI and real-time sales data to figure out exactly what your
market is buying right now, so you never waste time building things
nobody wants. No need to “Validate your offer in a 5 day challenge.” Stuff
that! Validate it now!
It’s
called Get Found Get Hired Get Paid
And it’s not theory—it’s tested, proven, and people are already using it to
ditch the burnout and build recurring revenue on their terms.
If you’ve
ever thought:
“Why does
this still feel so frickin’ unpredicatble, even though I work harder than
ever?”
Then come
to my free livestream on Monday, 9th June at 9am EST / 2pm GMT.
I’ll show
you the model I teach inside my mid-ticket program Get Found. Get Hired. Get
Paid., and you’ll leave with a step-by-step strategy to:
✅
Stabilise your income
✅ Escape the 1:1 treadmill
✅ Create scalable, irresistible offers
✅ Use AI smartly—not randomly—to speed up everything

business should feel like freedom—not a panic attack in sweat pants
Let’s fix that.

The Truth About 1:1 Burnout—and How to Escape It With the Offer Ladder
Let’s be brutally honest...
You didn’t start your business to run yourself into the ground, trading every waking hour for a string of back-to-back 1:1 calls, did you?
And yet… here we are. Chained to your desk with Coaching clients, or grabbing quick tea breaks between Therapy clients.
If you're a coach or consultant working exclusively one-on-one, there’s a good chance you're dancing on the edge of burnout. The kind of burnout that leaves you staring at your calendar, wondering how the hell you ended up so busy, yet still nowhere near your income goals.
Now, don’t get me wrong—1:1 work has its place. It’s intimate. Transformational. Highly valuable. But it’s also… a trap.
The Problem with 1:1
The more successful you get, the worse it gets. You finally crack the client acquisition code, and suddenly, you’re drowning in Zoom calls. Your income ceiling slams down on your head because there are only so many hours in the day. Your calendar is full, but your bank account isn’t. Sound familiar?
Even worse, your business now depends on your presence to function. Get sick? No income. Go on holiday? No income. Have a life crisis? You guessed it—no income.
This is where the Offer Ladder comes in.
What Is an Offer Ladder?
It’s a scalable structure that lets you serve your clients at different levels, with different levels of access to you. Think of it like this:
-
Bottom rung: Low-ticket, low-access (like a book, checklist, or mini-course). You can create this in a lunchbreak. Seriously. $10-$97
-
Middle rung: Group programs, self-paced courses, or masterminds. That'll take an afternoon to build $3,000 - $10,000
-
Top rung: High-touch 1:1 work, reserved for those who’ve already invested in the lower rungs and are ready for deep transformation. You use the EXACT SAME SYLLABUS as in the first 2 rungs, but you cover it one-on-one. $10,000 +
You create leverage by productising your process—taking what you already do with clients and packaging it in ways that don’t require your direct presence 24/7.
Why Most Coaches Don’t Do This
Because let’s face it: it feels risky. It feels like hard work.
You're used to being the product. You think, “People only buy because of ME.” So you cling to 1:1 like a life raft, telling yourself you're being of service while slowly setting yourself on fire.
But here’s the truth: if you’re the only one who can deliver the value, you don’t have a business—you have a job with a fancy title.
The Real Risk
The real risk is staying stuck in a model that doesn’t scale. That chews up your time, your health, your joy. That leaves you capped, drained, and quietly resentful.
You deserve a business that supports your lifestyle, not one that steals it.
The Offer Ladder isn’t about abandoning your clients or “selling out.” It’s about honouring your own capacity so you can serve more people, better, without losing your sanity in the process.
So here’s the challenge:
What’s one thing you’re doing 1:1 right now that could be turned into a scalable offer?
