Go Independent
Create cash flow as a consultant in 30 days using word of mouth marketing
Ready to turn your passion and talent into a profitable consulting, coaching, or advisory practice?
You don’t need outside investment, a large following, constant social media posting, or even a fancy website or brand
You need to learn how to sell through conversations and relationships
It’s simpler than you think. In fact, you’re probably over thinking it.
The Simple, Organic Path to Landing Clients
When I started my business in 2017 I had a lot of marketing hangups
I came from a corporate marketing and business strategy background.
So I thought I needed an impressive brand in order to stand out and get noticed.
So I invested $10,000 on branding, logos, website, market research — the works.
But guess what? Zero clients came knocking.
Because “looking good on paper” is not what lands clients in the beginning.
Deep relationships and genuinely offering to help people with your talent does!
How It Actually Works:
Talk to real buyers to understand their problems
Genuinely give a damn about what they’re saying
Directly offer to help them, even if you don’t have “the answer” yet
It’s All About Quality Relationships and Compelling Conversations
I landed $2.5M in sales using an entirely word of mouth strategy — no ads, funnels, franchises, or marketing gimmicks.
Just meeting people, giving a damn about their problems, and offering to help.
And growing my confidence as an entrepreneur + service provider with each conversation.
I learned how to sell authentically without pushing or pressuring.
Where most Independent professionals get it wrong
You think you need to say something smart, impressive, or “credible.”
You try to predict what you think people want from you. Then you write them a proposal that ends with “thanks... we’ll be in touch.”
Or you try to create packages that you think your people want using your best guess.
But no sales. Just lots of hard work that goes nowhere.
You need to learn how to talk about yourself and your services in simple terms that actually land for them -- rather than trying to guess what they want or "prove your value" by sounding smart or credible.
Talking about yourself is simple, but it’s uncomfortable. And that’s why you avoid it or overcomplicate it.
I built a program to show you exactly how to do this. So that you always know where your next client (and paycheck) is coming from.
Go Independent teaches you how to find buyers, speak directly to their problems, and make irresistible offers—so you stop second-guessing and...
The Go Independent Process
Here's exactly what you'll learn in Go Independent—a 4-step formula to land clients, make great money, and feel good in the process.
STEP 1 - Authentic Selling
Stop feeling like you need to prove yourself. Start showing up as the expert that you already are and that buyers want to hire.
As the seller, you have the value. You have something people want. That’s why you never have to convince them to hire you. Because YOU hold the solution to their problems.
Once you TRULY realize this, you’ll stop over-analyzing, over-working, or avoiding sales. You’ll stop trying to prove your worth, and it will all feel so much simpler.
You’ll focus on what actually matters: uncovering their top-dollar problems and offering to help — which is how they’ll know you’re right for them!
This works in any industry — big business, small business, and everything in between.
This is the first thing you'll master in Go Independent—the mindset shift that makes everything else possible.
STEP 2 - Irresistible Offers
Create offers clients say "yes" to immediately—without months of planning.
This module will teach you the simplest way to package your offers so that they address your clients' top-dollar problems—the ones they're willing to spend money on right now.
This way you're not sitting around "waiting to hear back" for 6 months while they try to "find the budget" to work with you.
You'll learn:
How to identify the top-dollar problems your clients are willing to pay you to solve right now
What goes into an irresistible offer and how to make it simple to sell and deliver
You'll walk away knowing exactly how to package what you do in a way that buyers can’t refuse.
STEP 3 - Value Based Pricing
Command the money you're worth—even if you're new to working on your own.
Go Independent helps you protect your time and avoid burnout with pricing that reflects your true expertise and value.
You're going to learn how to get people to see you as top talent — in a way that honors your expertise and experience.
You will also learn how to sell for results rather than selling your time. It will get you out of the weeds and into the highest-impact work with your clients.
By the end of this module, you'll know exactly what to charge and how to confidently present your pricing without guilt or hesitation.
STEP 4 - Perennial Pipeline
Build a referral engine where other people market for you—so you never run out of leads.
You'll learn how to:
Convert casual conversations into "wow me" conversations that have people asking, "so wait... what do you do? I've got to know."
Hold powerful discovery calls that naturally lead to proposals and sales
Build a referral system where others are constantly sending clients your way
Once you master this step, you'll never worry about where your next client is coming from—you'll have a system that brings them to you.
I walk you through all 4 steps so you're never left guessing. Once you master them, you've got them for life. It's the end of working for someone else.
