2025 is a milestone as we celebrate the 25-year anniversary of our Curriculum.

We help them write and publish best-selling books, deliver world class presentations from stage, facilitate breakthrough experiences for their clients, set up mentoring clubs and build tribes who value what they do. We show them how to earn $500,000 to $1,500,000 working 50 -200 days a year with one or maybe two staff.
In short, we help clever people to be commercially smart.

IS THERE A SET STRUCTURE TO THE PROGRAM?No, you can absorb the content in a way that suits your individual needs and timeline. We will provide you with a guide for what content to engage with, and at what time, but not everyone follows this – and they still have outrageous success in doing so.
-
I DON’T HAVE A LARGE EMAIL DATABASE, CAN YOU HELP ME?Yes! Some students come with an established list of potential clients, but perhaps they don’t know how to utilise it and really speak to their market, OR their list isn’t made up of their ideal market. The curriculum will help you with clarifying the message you are working on, identifying the market that needs your expertise, and a delivery method – a way that you and them prefer to work. From there you can begin developing content for the world to engage with and organically grow your list.
