Systems
Your brand's personality
If everyone expects to get their answers from you, then you are the system. You are essential to your business, and that is a dangerous thing.
In our Systems learning module and WebClasses, you will:
- Design a powerful way to systematise efficiently and effectively.
- Develop an understanding of every aspect of your business and how it’s affected.
- Delve into optimising and create assets that will increase your business value.
Team
A company is only as strong as its team.
Know how to pick the right people, and your team will thrive. Paying people more doesn't guarantee performance.
In our Team learning module and WebClasses, you will:
- Develop a deep understanding of hiring and what it takes to create a dream team.
- Organise your team and learn techniques to save time and only hire members who will elevate your team strength and improve your team culture.
- Design a system that will ensure your existing team and any future team members become true assets.
Operations
Stop being an octopus.
Running your own business is exhilarating and exhausting in equal measures. If you feel that you have to oversee every department, you may end up needing more arms than an octopus to keep on top of things.
In our Operations learning module and WebClasses, you will:
- Create products that are of the highest quality, sustainably made and delivered with a first class experience for your customers.

Reaction
Your mind will lead you to greatness
Your mindset is going to determine if your brand will make it to the big league or not. Mindset is not a magical key to success, but it can help you control your reaction to, and act on, what goes on around you to get results.
In our Reaction learning module and WebClasses, you will:
- Develop resilience and a strong mindset to run a 7+ figure business
- Learn how to stop holding yourself back
- Identify the key areas in your life that will boost your work performance and allow you to have fun in business.
Marketing
Observe. Act. Iterate
Designers are no strangers to testing colours, compositions, patterns and so much more. In the same way, marketing needs a bit of testing, and the data you can get from the multitude of today’s marketing channels and tested techniques can give your brand an edge – no more shots in the dark.
In our Marketing learning module and WebClasses, you will:
- Identify your unique market niche to distinguish yourself from competitors.
- Craft a compelling pitch that motivates potential customers and partners.
- Create a marketing plan to enhance clarity and boost revenue.
- Build sales funnels that align with your brand and available resources.
Sustainability
‘I used to be a plastic bottle,’ said the dress
I don’t think I even need to say how important our
actions as designers are to the environment and our
children’s future. We all play a part and should take
small, inexpensive steps to ensure we do better for
our business and our planet.
In our Sustainability learning module and WebClasses, you will:
- Build products that are sustainable and affordable.
- Learn why sustainability in your business is a powerful tool.
- Develop a mission and vision that will not only bring you more revenue but will also become an asset to your legacy.

Who is it NOT for?
✖ Entrepreneurs who are in financial despair. Coaching is not a lifeline and it's not a last resort when your brand is in crisis.
✖ Those not open to change. There will be hard roads to cross and serious decisions to be made.
✖ Those looking for a miracle. True growth needs sustainable and strategic methods that cannot be implemented overnight.
Success isn't found in mirages, but through the power of action, observation, and iteration.

✔️ Hit a plateau. Entrepreneurs who tried several tactics with some success but are feeling confused and overwhelmed as to what to prioritize, leading to confusion and inefficient actions.
✔️ Seek financial freedom. You might be profitable and still not taking enough profit to bring you freedom. Or you simply want to increase your profits and grow your business.
