“Is this all there is?” he asked me.
Nate (not his real name) was frustrated. He had been in the copywriting game for about five years, and was doing quite well.
He was booked up most of the time, clients liked his work, and he no longer worried about his income month-to-month.
But his enthusiasm had waned.
Those early days when copywriting was fun, and the excitement of actually getting paid to write words that sell? Gone.
Now it seemed like drudgery, even though he was good at it and clients still paid him good money to do it.
Nate was at a crossroads, wondering if more of this was all he had to look forward to.
“Isn’t there more!?”
Yes, there is.
Thankfully, he was open to ideas.
Over the course of several months, we figured out a new path forward.
We worked together to slightly shift his positioning, identify new ways to attract non-obvious clients, and get paid not only as a copywriter, but as an advisor.
Nate was still the same guy, but his clients saw him differently now.
Projects became fun again, the client interactions more rewarding, and those clients got better results. Everyone was happier.
These were things Nate probably could have figured out on his own, over time, but he was too close to his own situation.
As an outside objective observer, and advisor to Nate, I was able to see things he wasn’t able to see. I was able to help him serve his clients in a bigger and better way.
And I was able to help him create more impact.
Your situation might be different (and I’m leaving out details he didn’t want included), but whatever it looks like, I believe one thing:
We can’t do this alone. We can’t operate in a vacuum.
If your business is doing well but you know you could be doing more, I invite you to work with me in a unique 1-on-1 program called IMPACT.
IMPACT is a 7-month program where you and I will work closely together from August 1, 2024, to March 1, 2025.
Simply put, my aim is to help you do more than you’re doing now and more than you would without me.
What does that look like?
Essentially, you get me as your 1-on-1 advisor for the next 7 months.
While I’ve had clients pay me $5,000/month for similar services, I want to make this more accessible to everyone and a much easier decision for you.
IMPACT is $700/month for seven months. We’ll officially start working together August 1, 2024, and continue through March 1, 2025.
I’ll be your business advisor, sales production advisor, and Category of One advisor.
I’ll be your accountability guy, growth coach, and Idea Generator partner.
I’ll be your accountability guy, growth coach, and Idea Generator partner.
Together, we’ll make 2024-25 one for the ages.
What you learn and do in these 7 months will stay with you much longer. It will serve you personally and professionally for years to come. You’ll get tangible and intangible lifetime benefits.
IMPACT is not a group coaching program and mastermind like my Cafe Roundtable. This is strictly one-on-one coaching and advising, the kind that’s made the biggest impact on my life and career.
As such, I’m not looking to fill a certain number of spots. I’ve been working with a handful of people since spring of 2023, and I have two new spots opening up on August 1, 2024. After this, I won’t be offering IMPACT again until sometime in the fall.
“Is this for me?”
I can’t answer that for you. If you’re doing well but feeling in your gut that you know you could be doing more, I’d love to work with you.
Whether it’s with me or someone else, it’s hard to do this alone, and there’s no time like the present.
I believe that this is your time to shine. Let’s make it happen, together.
Choose which option is best for you:
I’ll be in touch shortly to get started with preliminary details before our start date of August 1.

Questions?
Message me, please. I’m happy to talk and help you figure out if we’re a good fit for each other.
Here are some questions I’ve gotten so far:
Why 7 months?
Because I believe that’s enough time to get a lot done but short enough to create a sense of urgency. From experience, I’ve found 12-month programs to be too long and 90-day ones too short.
Can we go longer than 7 months?
If we’re both agreeable to it, by all means! But start by assuming that you’re going to get everything you need in seven months, then I’m going to set you free.
You’ll have the tools, the knowledge, the skills, and the confidence to continue your upward trajectory on your own. If you’re a Back Room Member, we’ll stay connected ongoing, of course.
Any guarantees?
Yes! I guarantee you’ll accomplish more than you would without me…if you put in the work and meet me half-way.
Of course, there’s no way to actually measure that, so I’ll let you be the judge. If at any point during the seven months it’s not meeting your needs, we’ll stop the payments. If you’ve paid ahead, I’ll give you a prorated return on any unused time.
Is IMPACT a one-time offer or will you be doing it again?
After the initial launch in May of 2023, I’ll be working with people on a rolling basis at various starting times throughout the year. The 7-month format will most likely be a staple feature, and I’ll promote it from time-to-time when I have openings. If right now isn’t a good time for you, for whatever reason, let’s keep in touch and leave it open for the future.
