Keep Moving...

 Stagnation and Action By An Ex-Secret Service Agent...

Don't put yourself in a place where you're completely stagnant. That's where you get stuck. How did they train you as a secret Service agent to have that instrumental mindset? Action. Everything's action. Make a choice. Make a choice. Make a choice. Move.

Movement Under Pressure

Go, go, go. Do you know what's interesting? Everything was about movement. Don't be still. Even when you're getting shot at, don't be still. They actually teach you to run in zigzags. It's actually really hard to shoot someone if they're not perfectly still. I mean, we would shoot paper targets. You miss, you're stressed out, you're emotional.

You're looking at this guy shooting, that person's shooting. Am I shooting like shit? You know, because everyone's looking at each other's scores. And you know if you don't shoot well, they're gonna be like, oh, I don't want to take you out on the next raid with me. Right? So you've got that adrenaline rush. It's a hard thing to do. But they teach you, like, hey, if you're getting shot at, don't sit there like a dummy. Move. Run.

And while you're running, run like zigzag. Throw people off. Move. And I've taken that premise of always being Kinesis. Kinesis is a Greek move. Kinesis. Move, move. Always move.

The Importance of Kinesis

Create momentum. No matter how stuck you feel, just move. Don't sit still. I'm not saying don't grieve, don't be sad, don't feel it's okay, but don't put yourself in a place where you're completely stagnant, because that's where you get stuck, and you don't move, and you get comfortable, and you become afraid. If you can just create movement, I'm going to create a little bit of movement. I'm going to make a decision here, and then another one, another one. If you can just stay in Kinesis movement, you'll be able to move through whatever it is you're going through.

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?
