You’re hitting a growth ceiling...

Now it’s time to break through it!

Self-made looks great on you. 
Self-assured looks even better.

Self-made looks great on you. Self-assured looks even better.

It took equal parts passion, expertise & grit to get to where you are now. 

And if your business truly reflected your level of determination – you’d be a household name.

So, why do you STILL feel like...

A small fish in a big pond?

Working harder ≠ more success?

Every day is a race against the clock?

You’re on a revenue roller coaster?

BOTTOM LINE

What got you here won’t get you there...

You’ve ridden the time & effort bus to the last stop. Now you really need a way to do more with less.

BOTTOM LINE

What got you here won’t get you there...

You’ve ridden the time & effort bus to the last stop. Now you really need a way to do more with less.

Scaling is the only option because this is more than “just a business” to you 

It’s a way for you to turn your struggle into strength. 

To make the path easier and life better for people who are where you once were. 

It’s a way to do right by yourself, your family, your dreams, and your life’s mission.

So it only makes sense that you have a few non-negotiables...

So it only makes sense that you have a few non-negotiables...

You won’t sell your business’ soul or your vision

 Building a cold, hard cash generating machine at the expense of all else?

Not your goal.

And never will be. 

Your business has purpose.

It has SOUL… 

And that’s not something you’re willing to sacrifice in order to scale.

You won’t let your family or life foot the bill

‘Founder’ isn’t the only title that’s important — you also have your eye on something like:

 ‘Present’ Mario-Playing Mom 

 Getaway-Planning Husband

 Part-Time Mountain Climber 

Well-Traveled Globe-Trotter

You’re not here to let life fly by... and you’re not afraid to say it. 

You refuse to be anyone other than YOU

Fake-y marketing makes you cringe... and pushy sales tactics could not be less “you.”

You live & work by a code of ethics — so the same needs to go for your marketing.

You’re ready for messaging & methods that ‘click’ with the right people...

People you're excited to work with and have the same vision for life.

Simply put - you want to do your life’s work without missing out on your life.

And you can’t be the only one... right?

We felt the exact same way.

7 years ago we had a full roster of raving 1:1 clients, record-shattering sales & marketing so on point you’d think we were clairvoyant…

So why didn’t we just “settle”?

On the outside we were a successful full-service marketing agency operating out of an office overlooking Broadway in NYC...

But behind the scenes, our offers, sales and marketing required near-constant manual effort. 

It was impossible to keep up while staying happy, healthy… and you know – have a life outside of work.  

Behind every big “win” in our business, something else got the short end of the stick…

Sometimes it was our marketing. Sometimes it was our client work. 

And worst of all – sometimes it was our families. 😔

Maybe you’ve been told that the "latest" & "greatest" way to scale includes:

Mining groups on social for prospects

Awkwardly DMing strangers all day

Creating content for the sake of doing it

Selling in every conversation you have

​A cycle of back-to-back launches & flash sales

Hustling, grinding, and never taking a break

Selling in every conversation you have

​A cycle of back-to-back launches every month

Hustling, grinding, and never taking a break

Yup —
we were told the same... 🙄

Yup — we were told the same... 🙄

(And even tried some of them...)

But we learned they don’t really mesh well with being a real life human, with people you love, & things you like to do outside of work.

We’re committed to building our business in a way that feels good, serves people well, and is sustainable for the long-term. 

So… we’ll pass on all of the above.

You can too.

So, how do you really scale when it feels like your business, your values & your freedom are at odds?

We’ll give it to you straight...

So, how do you really scale when it feels like your business, your values & your freedom are at odds?

We’ll give it to you straight...

Here’s what your business is actually missing:

1.
Aligned Offer Suite

1. Aligned Offer Suite

Having low/high ticket, upsell, downsell, and ascension offers don’t make much of an impact on your ability to grow and scale if they aren’t aligned, high-impact, and leveraged. 

We’ll help you align your offer suite around a simple + scalable core offer so that your customer journey is clear and profitable. 

2.
Sustainable Marketing

2. Sustainable Marketing

Sustainable means what you put into the world actually generates sales WITHOUT riding the launch roller coaster. 

There’s no inconsistency or falling behind because you focus on developing long-term assets that predictably grow your business around the clock – even as you sleep.

3.
Consistent Growth

3. Consistent Growth

Simple systems create the level of sales, impact & freedom you’re looking for. 

You’re able to confidently lead your business and get the results you want month after month, year after year because your strategy consistently maximizes your momentum. 

Together, these 3 components form an...

Evergreen Business

An Evergreen Business is leveraged & consistently growing.

It doesn’t require absurd “hustling” or using complex & pushy tactics.

And the good news is... it doesn’t have to take years to go evergreen!

*** And it’s MUCH easier than selling all your worldly goods, running away, and opening a B&B in the Alps. 😉 ***

Everything changed when we evergreened our marketing + offers.

It’s how we’ve been able to:

  • Serve way more people – and serve them well without maxing ourselves out
  • Really nail our marketing without constantly being in content creation mode
  • ​Say “no” to opportunities we’re not fully aligned with
  • ​Have the time, freedom, and security to lead the lives we really want
  • Get consistent sales without incessant or overwhelming daily hustling
  • ​Scale to over 3M in sales & watch our impact exponentially grow
  • ​Step into leading at a higher level
  • ​Share what we’ve learned with our clients and watch them live life on their own terms too

We’re redefining ‘scaling’ and you’re invited to join us.

There’s not one right way to scale a coaching business… but there’s a right way for YOU!

If you want to scale a leveraged, always growing Evergreen Business based on principles, not tactics or channels...

Apply for Evergreen Business Accelerator and we’ll talk about if it’s right for you on a Discovery Call.

If it’s a good fit for your business and your life – we’ll invite you to join and support you in creating a business that’s built for both impact & freedom.

Co-Founder, Thought Leader Brands

Hi - I'm Jim...

I've been in marketing & sales for over 25 years now.

I started my career in the corporate world — 

But it wasn't long before I realized that in order to lead the life I wanted to live, and make the impact I really wanted to make, I'd have to venture out on my own.

So that's exactly what I did. 

6 businesses & 2 acquisitions later...

I co-founded Thought Leaders Institute with Lucas to help people make money from what they know & love and to help them make a really big difference in the world. 
Co-Founder, Thought Leader Brands

Hey there - I'm Lucas...

And I've never had a job.

(Yep, you read that right.)

I knew from a young age - no question - that I wanted to achieve financial independence via entrepreneurship. 

I started my first marketing business at 13 with the intention of uplifting and making life easier for small business owners in my community.

Here I am a little over a decade later in the coaching & consulting industry - wiser, with millions in client revenues strategized and directed, but with just as much enthusiasm as I had the day I started.

And it's not just us...

"EBA" members get an entire team of experts to support them

Call us your official "board of advisors". You fancy-pants, you... 😜

What if I’m just starting my coaching business?
If you’re just getting started as a coach and haven’t served at least 2-3 private clients for 6+ months, Evergreen Business Accelerator is probably not for you...

This will save you thousands of dollars & MANY unnecessary headaches.
 
PLUS - you'll get WEEKLY implementation workshop sessions with the same coaches that help our high-level private clients.

No question is too basic (or too advanced!) for these sessions & our coaches will help you get your tech done right.
 
We don't want things like tech or copywriting to be a barrier to your success, so we've provided time-saving resources to make every step of the process easier and faster.
How do I sign up?

3. Join the EBA family

After talking, if we think you’d be a good fit for EBA and that is will help you achieve your business & lifestyle goals, we’ll invite you to join!

What if I get stuck?

How is EBA different from Simple + Scalable Groups?

How is EBA different from Simple + Scalable Groups?
You can think of our workshop, Simple + Scalable Groups, as a small piece of the larger Evergreen puzzle. 
 
It shows you how to create your very first simple offer. 

Evergreen Business Accelerator is for coaches who want to move much faster and get personalized support to leverage simple offers like the one we cover in Simple + Scalable Groups…

And implement sustainable marketing to create consistent growth in their business.

It’s about building a business that works for YOU, and not the other way around.
