Introducing:
The Academy
A hands-on program for successful entrepreneurs who are ready to implement the kind of advanced operations, model, and cultural strategies that lead to sustainable scale.
The Visionary CEO Academy is not for beginners.
It’s for successful entrepreneurs whose businesses have earned at least 6 figures in the past 12 months. 7-figure CEOs are also welcome; we have lots to share with you.
In this program, we help you install the advanced strategies that makes growth happen while you get to focus on the work you love most and are best at.
Not in a series of knowledge-dump videos. Not with hours-long “group coaching calls.” And not in “masterminds” where you’re the most advanced person in the room…
But an implementation-based, hands-on program where we’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of installing the Visionary Operating System:
Here's how it works...
In Phase One, we will jump on a 1:1 call where we will create you a crystal clear Game Plan for upgrading your model, ops and culture.
On this 1:1, we will look at your existing model, ops and culture to determine the fastest way to free you up from being the bottleneck…
… and then rapidly identify a few low-hanging fruit that that will create more free time, generate more profit, and get you even better results – as quickly as possible.
Once we’ve got a clear plan and you’ve got some time back, we move into:
Phase Two: installing the Weekly Momentum System, a one-hour weekly routine that eliminates distractions, firefighting and interruptions.
Together, we’ll look at how your marketing, sales, delivery, team, and profit are working – triage what needs attention – and come up with a specific game plan for how you’ll address those things with as little time and effort as possible.
Couple that with our Uncontaminate Your Time framework, and you’ll quickly start stacking your free time – going from hours, to days, to weeks off at a time.
Finally, in Phase Three we roll out the first of your Visionary Operating System Upgrades, so your business can start running itself without you needing to be there all the time.
We’ve helped countless clients install the Visionary Operating System, including:
- Bookkeepers & Accountants
- Wellness Coaches
- NYT Bestselling Authors
- Marketing Agencies
- User Experience Consultants
- FB Ads Agencies
- K-12 Educators
- Various Business Coaches
- Therapists
- Lawyers
And the list goes on…
Important: The Academy is NOT Your Typical "Online Program"
We know you’re busy, so we’ve designed this to be a fluff-free experience, where you spend your time doing the work, not learning about the work.
After all, the last thing you need at this point in your business is endless videos to watch, worksheets to fill out, or calls to attend.
That’s why the Academy:
- Is NOT a mastermind. I know it sounds great in theory—surrounding yourself with high-quality peers who you can learn from. But almost every time I've joined a mastermind or group program, it's been filled with beginners who want to know how to create a better landing page ... not CEOs who want to build a better company. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with building better landing pages... but I'd rather you learn how to lead a team that does that for you.
- Is NOT an info course. Yawn... do you really need to watch seven 30-minute long videos on crafting a job description that is basically just a list of tasks you're going to delegate? Or do you need to spend 30 minute actually crafting a job description that works? I know which one I'd choose. So, sure. We have a curriculum. But it's filled with action items to do, not a pile of content to consume.
- Is NOT a magic bullet. You and I both know that there's no such thing as a miracle fix. But there are proven strategies that you can adapt and apply to your unique situation. Will it happen overnight? No. But it'll last a hell of a lot longer than the so-called "solutions" that promise instant success.
- Is NOT one-size fits all. Everyone says it... but then they put you through the exact same process as every other client. Not here. The very first thing you do in this program is choose your own pace, learning style, and pathway through the materials. And we'll guide you through it, so you're never left alone.
- Is NOT a massive time commitment. The last thing you need is another set of meetings on your calendar or tasks on your to-do list. You need a few high-impact activities, applied directly to your business, with targeted support to make sure you get the benefit of an expert, outside opinion.
- Is NOT a five-figure investment. We're not here to get rich quick, and we're not here to make you spend thousands in the hopes that you'll be able to make it back eventually. This is about making smart, measured investments that will free up time and money, without breaking the bank.
Finally, we have little interest in maximizing profits at all costs. If all you care about is padding your bank account, then this program is not right for you.
We’re here to help you build a business that is sustainable, profitable and equitable.
That’s why this (and all of our programs) are based on an explicitly intersectional, anti-racist worldview.
That means we…
- Hold firm our responsibility to create and maintain safe space for marginalized groups, including those who are systematically disadvantaged whether because of race, sexuality, gender, ability, or other forms of diversity.
- Affirm the importance of science-based decision-making, meaning we acknowledge the reality of climate change, support mask mandates, and are pro-vaxx.
- Acknowledge that we are headquartered on unceded Coast Salish territory.
- Believe that Black, Indigenous and Trans Lives Matter.
If you don’t also hold those values, then this won’t be a fit.
But if you do…
And you’ve read this far …
Then here's how to get started.
Your investment for the Academy follows the Pay As You Play model, making it very easy to get started.
The current price is just $149 USD now, and $149 USD every week after.
If all you do is run the Weekly Momentum System, it wouldn’t be unusual for you to free up enough time to double or even triple your investment – in just a few weeks.
- Joe hit $80k months while eliminating 30 hours of work per week
- Autumn reduced her workload by 80%+ and had her first million-dollar year
- Keila went from 10-12 hour days to never working weekends again
- Patrice freed up 5 hours a week and reduced her operating expenses by 30%
It’s rare that someone doesn’t report a win after running it.
Free up an 3-5 extra hours a week to the work you love most and are best at, and everything else becomes so much easier.
Want To Scope All The Perks & Benefits? Here you go...
When you join, we’ll jump on a 1:1 call where we will create you a customized, crystal clear plan for reclaiming your time and freeing up a couple hours each week.
If we can help an overbooked, overloaded physiotherapist gain an extra hour each day, less than two weeks after having this call, I know we can find time on your calendar, too.
Every Monday, we get together to check in on progress, identify potential obstacles, and coach you through how to tackle them before they become problems.
This is THE way that our clients free up 3-5 hours a week, and keep it free.
Just like your computer’s Operating System needs upgrades, your business’ Operating System does, too.
We run regular LIVE, hands-on workshops (called “guided installs”) in order to upgrade a specific area of your business’ model, operations, or culture.
We’ve developed self-paced implementation projects on everything from streamlining & simplifying your core process, to designing your dream team.
You get access to all of them – and any new ones we create – giving you all the tools you need, paired with our feedback and support to grow your business sustainably.
Twice per week, you’ll be able to hop onto a call with me and Team VCA to accelerate your results by answering questions, give feedback, and providing advice – whether strategic, tactical, or mindset.
Currently, these calls happen Tuesdays (9:30-11:30am PT) and Thursdays (1:30 – 3:30pm). We’ll also be adding more sessions as we grow, to make sure everyone gets the support they need each week.
Even when we’re not on a group call, Team VCA can identify what’s working (and not) a mile away.
With a short video or reply, it’s not unusual for us to untangle your thorniest issues in a matter of minutes. We’ve done this time and time again for clients that have happily paid $80k+ for us to be the COO of their business.
Now, you get the same benefit inside the Academy whenever you post for feedback in our private community.
Increase your focus and productivity by working alongside Team VCA and your peers in our facilitated coworking sessions.
Not only do you get real-time accountability, these sessions help you knock out tasks faster while providing emotional support and reducing isolation.
Plus, you’ll see immediate progress, which boosts your momentum and confidence to tackle bigger goals.
Tap into our 24/7 online community to collaborate with peers, share feedback, and network with others who are scaling their businesses using the same system. By sharing insights and ideas, you’ll continue to innovate and find new ways to grow your business.
Oh, and don’t worry… it’s not on Facebook. We use Slack, and will help you customize your notifications to your liking – no unwanted interruptions or distractions here!
With the Academy, you’re receiving three weekly coaching opportunities with me and the VCA team to accelerate your results and keep you moving in the right direction.
But if you want to upgrade to the “All-Access Pass,” you can get monthly 1:1 coaching AND unlimited private message access to our entire team at a hefty discount. The All-Access Pass starts from $398/week.
If you’ve got a question, don’t be afraid to reach out to me personally on FB Messenger.
Or, if you’re ready to dive in…
Important
Before You Join, Read This
The Academy is a community, not a hostage situation.
We prefer to put the risk on us overdelivering vs you having to pay $10K upfront only to realize you’ve been burned.
So you are welcome to leave at any time. That said, if you choose to leave, you can’t rejoin for a year.
There are no quick fixes for businesses at your stage. Results take time, and we’ll also be asking you to do things differently than you have before.
It’s not going to be easy, and so if we’re going to do this, we need you to commit to putting in the work.
That said, if you’re reading this, you’ve already learned a ton about our approach. You probably already have a sense of whether or not it can help you.
You also know the challenges you’re facing as a growing business better than anyone else out there.
So if you’ve already got a business coach, a mastermind, or some other way of solving these problems… then that’s great!
But for me, I know that if I’d tried to figure this stuff out the same old way, it would have taken me a lot longer to find a new solution that worked for me.
I needed to find someone who knew a better way, and who could help me find mine.
Not to mention that the old way just didn’t jive with my values. And for me, if it’s not about creating more equity and justice in the world, I’m not interested.
These are the kinds of people we want in our programs and in our community. People who are here because:
- They don’t want to figure it out on their own.
- They’re tired of the same old, same old.
- They don’t want to re-create the corporate behemoths of the past (with all their flaws and problems).
So, look. You’ve already created a successful business.
You’ve already proven you’re smart, dedicated, and can figure out a lot of things on your own.
Which means you don’t need our help. You’ve made it this far, and odds are, you’ll eventually crack the this nut on your own.
The question ultimately is, which is more likely to get you where you want to go:
- The time and money we’ll ask you to invest with us?
- Or the time and money you’ll spend figuring it out on your own?
There are no right or wrong answers. You’ll know which is right for you.
Whatever you choose, I wish you all the success in the world!
