I studied 25 coaches who scaled from $5K to $100K. They all do THIS weekly.

They work less than when they started. And they`re making 20x more.

The secret? They started working in cycles that create cash

Most coaches think freedom means doing whatever, whenever.
WRONG!
Freedom comes from systems that carry you on your worst days.

The coaches who broke through all use the same 4 time blocks:

**Monday: CEO Time**
Planning the week. Reviewing numbers. Making decisions.
Not answering emails or creating content.

**Tuesday/Wednesday: Visibility**
Income producing activities, having conversations with potential clients.
Same time, same days. No exceptions.

**Thursday: Outreach**
DM conversations. Follow-ups. Relationship building.
Not pitching. Connecting.
The sales happen naturally.

**Friday: Delivery**
Coaching sessions and office hours for clients.
Full focus on transformation.

That`s it. 4 blocks. 5 days.

When I teach this system to coaches on stage, the ‘aha’ moment always lands: freedom comes from structure.

The rhythm builds the business.
Not the other way around.

If you only mastered ONE of these time blocks this month, which would change everything for you?

“You make it look so easy.”
They meant it as a compliment.
You heard it as a warning sign.

Because the truth is, you do make it look easy.

Balancing the career.
The family.
The constant demands.

But underneath? You’re on autopilot…
wondering when “easy” started feeling like “empty.”

That’s why I wrote the award-winning book, Dirty Little Secrets: A New You in 10 Secret-Breaking Stages.

And now, for the first time, you can hear it in my own voice.

This isn’t a book you skim for tips.
It’s a book you carry with you.
The mirror that reflects the truth you’ve been avoiding—
and the permission slip to finally start living it.

If you’ve been quietly asking, “When is it my turn?”
Press play.
Listen while you drive, cook, or walk.

Let it remind you: wanting more isn’t selfish.
It’s the most honest thing you can do.

The corporate ladder wasn’t built for women, it was built on them.

We were taught the old rules:
Work twice as hard.
Stay quiet, stay polished.
Wait to be noticed.

And it worked until it didn’t.

Because here’s the reality: research shows women are promoted more slowly than men, even when performance is the same. Visibility, not effort, is what moves careers forward.

The old rules kept us climbing someone else’s ladder.
The new rules? They’re about building your own.

Bold visibility. Consistent presence. Leadership that claims the room instead of waiting for permission.

This is what I tell rooms full of executives, the rules that got you here aren’t the ones that will get you to the next level.

If you’re an executive woman who’s tired of being overlooked, this is your reminder:
You’ve already proven yourself. Now it’s about being seen, heard, and leading on your terms.

Which is more valuable in leadership today: results or presence?

Your ideal clients aren’t Googling:
“Find me a certified coach”
“Best PCC in my area”
“Most credentials after a name”

They ARE Googling:
“How to sign consistent clients”
“Why do I feel broke even though I make six figures”
“How to stop imposter syndrome”
“How to grow my business without burning out”

That’s the gap.
They don’t care about your ICF, PCC, or NBC-HWC.

They care about:
Their empty calendar
Their inconsistent income
Their fear they’re not cut out for this

Credentials don’t close that gap. Transformation does.
Stop selling your resume. Start selling their results.

The coach who speaks to the problem gets the client.
The coach who hides behind credentials gets ignored.

Which one are you?

What’s the #1 thing keeping you from consistent $10K months? Drop it below.
