Work With Me

See The Product Flywheel Framework I use to create client results.

I developed it after working with 1,000+ online education entrepreneurs to create, sell, and deliver two kinds of offers:

Online courses ranging in prices from $100 – $10,000 and programs ranging from $20,000 – $100,000.

See How I Work

Download Profitable Productization: A guide for service providers to create a $10,000 course (that doesn’t rely on coaching and consulting calls to create life-changing transformations).

I wrote it to show how existing course creators how to provide 10X the value of courses they usually sell at a $1,000 price point. Also helpful if you’re new to creating online courses.
