But behind the scenes? It doesn’t feel solid.

Systems creak under pressure, which means late nights patching holes yourself just to keep things moving.

The team still defaults back to you, so every decision, big or small, lands on your plate.

Growth surges one month, dips the next, leaving you second guessing every win.

And when something slips, a cancellation, an expense spike, that low hum of tension in the background roars to the surface, and suddenly you feel every crack.

You’re not failing. You’re not broken. You’ve just outgrown the way you’ve been running things.

On paper, your business works.

Revenue’s coming in. Clients are being served. The outside world thinks you’ve made it.

Founders Academy is where service based owners step into true founder mode, building businesses that hold themselves, with growth that’s predictable, scalable, and sustainable.

Build the Business Side That Matches Your Service

You’ve worked too hard to still feel like this:

Feeling your stomach drop every time there’s a cancellation.

Waking up on Monday, guessing where the next lead will come from.

Quietly resenting the business you built because it runs on your energy.

Holding a hundred half-finished fixes in your head, never sure which one actually matters.

Watching revenue climb, only to feel it crumble under expenses, team chaos, or your own burnout.

You’ve hit revenue goals, but your margins still feel fragile. Growth isn’t freedom if every payroll makes your stomach drop.  It looks fine from the outside. But inside, you know it’s fragile.

And the harder you push, the heavier it feels.

Your investment

You already know grinding harder isn’t the answer. I know, you’ve tried.

The truth is: this isn’t about effort. It’s about sequence.

Operators patch cracks with more hours. Founders build structures that hold without them.

The shift from
owner → founder

Step into founder mode

Wealth: Recurring revenue, pricing and brand positioning that protect margins, and reinvestment that builds assets, not just cashflow.

Impact: A brand that stands for something; leadership that removes you as the bottleneck; messaging that shapes the conversation in your industry. And impact that goes beyond revenue, building movements, changing lives, and leading something bigger than yourself.

Opportunity: Founders don’t wait for the next sale. They create their own playing field, position themselves in the right rooms, negotiate, expand, and move first.

And Founders don’t just “make money.” They build businesses that create:

For Founders Who Don’t Wait Until They’re Ready

If you’re here, chances are you’ve already proven you’re bold.
You signed the lease when it felt scary.
You invested before the money felt “safe.”
You opened the doors, hired the team, moved the country, before you had it all figured out.

That’s not a weakness. That’s your edge.
Bold founders move first.

The problem is, without the right structures, every bold leap lands heavier than it should.
That’s where Founders comes in.

This is where your bravery stops feeling like chaos and starts compounding into stability, profit, and real impact.

You keep leaping. We make sure you land strong.

Your investment

From No Leads to Real Momentum

An online coach had been side hustling for five years. She quit her job, went all in, and for months not a single lead came through. Within two weeks in Academy, we repositioned her offers, rebuilt her messaging, and created a marketing rhythm. Suddenly she had 8-10 quality leads a month, new client signups, and invitations to co-host events and appear on radio.

From Stagnant Growth to Supercharged Systems

A gym owner had a strong reputation and steady leads, but growth had flatlined for 12 months. She was exhausted, constantly “on.” Inside Academy, we overhauled her ops, rebuilt delivery, and clarified team roles. Within a month, three lead gen strategies were live and working. For the first time, growth felt lighter instead of heavier.

From $25k Months to Stability

 One founder was hitting $25k months, but every payroll left her anxious. Margins were thin, no buffer. We restructured pricing, locked in recurring revenue, and built a financial cushion. Within three months, she wasn’t just at $35k+ months, she finally felt secure, knowing her growth would hold.

Growth isn’t the issue.
Stability is.
That’s what Academy fixes.  

Step into the room

APPLY NOW

Most service owners know they need better systems, stronger offers, or sharper leadership. 

But what they don’t know is what to do first, or how to stay consistent long enough for it to stick.

That’s why this isn’t another course or content library. It’s a working space where:

happens in real time: we don’t just talk about fixes, we build them.

Covers your blind spots: ops, finance, leadership, marketing, and more.

keeps you from pushing the hard stuff aside.

is is tailored to your stage: no generic playbooks.

Minimum 6-month commitment. $5,400 total. Payment plans from $208/week.

Why Founders Works When Others Don’t

Most programs give you a stack of content and wish you luck.
That’s not this.

Founders works because of who’s in the room.

I’ve built, broken, and rebuilt businesses across brick and mortar, online, and consulting. Multi six figures, multiple times, in different models. I don’t teach theory. I teach what’s actually working in the trenches right now.

But the real power isn’t just me, it’s the room itself.
You’re not in a bubble here. You’re in a collective of founders who get it.
One founder’s ops breakthrough becomes your shortcut.
Another founder’s marketing win collapses months of testing for you.
You get a hundred perspectives, but all at the same standard: people building, leading, and scaling for real.

This isn’t a solo coaching container. It’s a crew. And that’s why the results stick.

The Path

Every founder walks through the same progression:

  1. Stability - Lock in recurring revenue, stronger margins, and cleaner financial foundations.
  2. Scalability - Build systems and team structures that reduce dependence on you.
  3. Founder Mode - Lead strategically, create opportunities, and scale wealth and impact without sacrificing freedom.

Picture it:
  • No more Monday dread wondering where the next client comes from.
  • A team that runs the day to day without leaning on you.
  • Growth that compounds month after month, without collapsing your energy.

That’s the path. That’s what we build inside the Academy.

How the Application Process Works

Founders Academy isn’t a click and buy course. Fit matters.

  1. Apply: You answer a short but thoughtful application, it’s your first step in putting the business on the table honestly.
  2. Review: I read every application myself. The mix of founders in the room matters.
  3. Game Plan Session: If aligned, we book a session to map your next moves. You’ll walk away with clarity, regardless of whether you join.
  4. Decision: If it’s right on both sides, I’ll walk you through onboarding. If not, I’ll tell you that too.
  5. Onboard & Enter: From day one, you’re inside the working rhythm. No “waiting to kick off.”

Risk Free Commitment:
If you show up and do the work but don’t see measurable progress in 90 days, I’ll work with you 1:1 until you do.

The problem is that growth feels fragile, unpredictable, and heavier than it should.

You don’t need more hours. You don’t need another course.

You need clarity on what matters, the structure to make it stick, and the partnership to finally lead like a founder.

Operators survive by holding everything together. Founders rise by building businesses that hold without them.

That’s what Founders Academy is built for.
