From Struggling to Thriving: The $500K Formula for Coaches & Consultants

From Struggling to Thriving: The $500K Formula for Coaches & Consultants

Hey, LinkedIn fam! I want to share a personal story that might resonate with many of you in the consulting world. It's about transformation, resilience, and a game-changing ‘formula’ that's revolutionizing how we approach consulting.

The Struggle

Just over 2 years ago, I bought out my business partner and became the sole CEO of The Influencer Project (now Expert Project). It wasn't pretty:

  • Spent over 7 figures on the buyout
  • Business was in bad shape
  • Bloated, inefficient model (1:1 dependent, large team, high overhead)
  • Little recurring revenue
  • $150k/month fixed expenses
  • Losing $70k/month
  • Marketing dependent on a $40k/month ad budget

Then came the perfect storm:

  • Ad account hacked
  • iOS 14 update crushed our ads
  • Bookings and show rates plummeted
  • Tax bills piled up
  • Pandemic hit
  • Key team members left

It was gut punch after gut punch. Stress, anxiety, and fear became my daily companions.

The Turnaround

Nobody talks about how hard business can get. It's all "6 figures this" and "7 figures that." But the reality? It's tough.

I had to:

  • Make hard decisions
  • Personally borrow to reinvest
  • Sacrifice time with loved ones
  • Work 12+ hour days
  • Believe, even when it seemed hopeless

With an amazing team who stuck by me, we rebuilt the ship while sailing it.

The Results

Fast forward to today:

  • From $70k losses to breaking even
  • Now heading towards $200k+ months
  • Leaner team, fewer clients, more profit

The $500k Formula

Through this journey, we developed what I call the EXPERT $500k Formula. It's been a game-changer not just for us, but for our clients too:

  • Ty: Best month ever at $156k
  • Cyrus: $70k to $1.8 million in 11 months
  • Maureen: Paid off her mortgage
  • George: From $100/hr sessions to $5k/month retainers

Sharing the Knowledge

Now, I'm ready to share this formula publicly for the first time ever - for FREE.

If you're tired of:

  • Trading time for money
  • Selling "sessions"
  • Chasing signatures on proposals
  • Relying on one big client

Then this is for you.

I'm hosting a workshop for our EXPERT clients, and I'm offering the first 50 spots for FREE to my community.
