Inner Circle — How This Actually Works

(Read this if you want to understand exactly what you’re buying before you decide.)

I'm opening 30 spots this month for photographers and videographers who are done guessing and ready to build a real, scalable creative business — the kind that doesn't reset every month.

The goal is simple: to help you build a predictable six-figure creative business without burnout, chaos, or constantly starting over.

Even if you've only landed a client or two so far, six figures ($8,300/month) isn't a fantasy — it's just math.

One solid offer, one predictable lead source, one dialed sales process. We build each piece deliberately until $8,300/month becomes your floor, not your ceiling

If you’ve been burned by vague programs or hype-driven promises before, this page is meant to show you exactly how this works before you decide.

What Inner Circle Is (Plain English)

Inner Circle is not a course.
It’s not a content library.
And it’s not motivation disguised as strategy.

It’s a structured execution system that i build with you, designed to help you:

generate leads daily
close sales weekly
and see real growth in your business, month after month.

We do it with a mix of 1:1 strategy, a custom game plan, proven systems, 6-week project cycles, and direct guidance from me every week.

Here’s How Inner Circle Actually Works
(mechanics, not marketing)

Everything runs on one simple loop:

Identify the constraint → Install the system → Track results → Review → Repeat

We find the single thing holding your business back right now, fix it, then move on to the next — until predictable growth becomes normal.

Phase 1: Speed to ROI (First 30–60 Days)

The first 30–60 days are designed to change the trajectory of your business quickly.

The goal is simple: put an extra $1,500–$5,000 in your bank account in the first 30–60 days — enough to make Inner Circle free for as long as you wish to stay.

We start with the Inner Circle Kickoff Call — a live onboarding and strategy session.

On that call, we:

lock in your 12-month goals
identify the most important quick wins
map your first 30–60 days of execution

You leave knowing exactly what to work on — and just as importantly, what to ignore.

Then we execute.

This phase exists to answer one question only: “Will this work for me?”

Everything Is Unlocked — But Nothing Is Overwhelming

From day one, everything inside Inner Circle is available.

That includes the full system covering:

niche
offer
client acquisition
pricing
sales
tracking
systems
mindset

Plus The Genius Model, our step-by-step roadmap to a six-figure creative business.

You don’t do everything at once.

You focus on one system at a time, guided by the plan we built on your Kickoff Call — so every action moves the business forward.

Live Guidance While You Execute

Execution without the ability to ask questions is where most people fail.

That’s why Inner Circle includes weekly live Zoom coaching with me.

Each week, you can:

bring real questions from your business
pressure-test decisions
get help removing whatever constraint is slowing you down

That’s Phase 1: clear focus, fast wins, signed clients, and enough momentum that Inner Circle more than pays for itself.

Phase 2: Turning Momentum Into a System

(so results don’t reset)

Once you’ve got momentum, we shift focus.

This is where we stop chasing wins and start building the actual business — one piece at a time.

Every six weeks, we meet live for 6-Week Strategy Sessions.

On these calls, we:

identify the next constraint
choose the exact system to install
map the next execution cycle

Sometimes that means fixing lead flow.
Sometimes it’s sales, pricing, delivery, demand, or scale.

Growth compounds instead of restarting.

Monthly Build Workshops (Not Lectures)
To support execution, we run monthly Skill Intensives.

These aren’t theory sessions.

They’re live build calls where we:

implement the system together
apply it directly to your business
leave with something finished and working

These are paid events for the public.
As an Inner Circle member, your seat is included.

You also get mentor hot seats, masterminds, and business deep-dives — so you’re constantly exposed to what’s working across different markets and stages.

Creator AI (Between-Call Clarity)

Between calls, you also have access to Creator AI, trained on the entire Inner Circle system.

Members use it to:

think through decisions
pressure-test ideas
clarify next steps
keep moving without waiting

This keeps execution consistent instead of emotional.

The Infrastructure (Why This Isn’t Just Coaching)

Inner Circle runs on a fully built GoHighLevel CRM.

You get:

pipelines
automations
tracking
templates
dashboards

Already installed and aligned to the system.

Many members already use GoHighLevel or similar tools — Inner Circle replaces that entire stack rather than adding another cost.

On its own, this platform typically runs around $500/month.
Inside Inner Circle, it’s included for just $1.

Not as a bonus — but because the system only works if everything lives in one place.

At that point, growth isn’t something you hope for.
It’s just what the system produces.

How We Work Together (And Why It's Structured This Way)

There are three ways to get access to me and the systems — depending on how fast you want to move and how much direct support you need.

Weekly Mentorship — $3,500/month
This is for photographers and videographers who want to go all in.

You get a 60-minute call with me every week, plus full access to Inner Circle. We work on your business together in real time — pricing, positioning, systems, sales, whatever's in front of you that week.

This isn't coaching in the traditional sense. It's more like having a business partner who's already built what you're building.

Monthly Mentorship — $1,000/month (or $10,000/year)
This is for people who are serious about results but don't need weekly calls to stay on track.

You get one 60-minute call per month with me, plus full access to Inner Circle. We use that call to set priorities, solve problems, and make sure you're focused on the right things.

Think of it as a monthly strategy session with someone who already knows your business.
One hour a month. No fluff. Just the next move.

Inner Circle — $150/month (or $1,450/year)

Not ready for private mentorship? This is where most people start.

You get everything inside Inner Circle: the 9 Systems, the weekly group calls, the community, the templates, the trainings. Everything except one-on-one time.

No contracts. Cancel anytime.

Why Inner Circle Is Priced the Way It Is

That $150/month number isn't based on what Inner Circle is "worth."

It's based on making it easy to start and see a return quickly.

As the community grows and access becomes more limited, the price grows with it:

Every 25 active members, the price increases $25

At full capacity (1,000 members), Inner Circle will be $1,000/month

When you join, your price is locked in for as long as you remain a member.

Why We Don’t Charge Upfront

Inner Circle isn’t sold as a large upfront program — and that’s intentional.

Many programs require full payment on day one because they know most people won’t stay long-term.

We chose the opposite model.

Inner Circle is monthly because you can leave at any time.
There’s no contract.
You only stay if it continues to be valuable.

That keeps the incentive simple:

Deliver enough value each month that leaving doesn’t make sense.

For transparency — not promises:

140+ active members (most stayed 6+ months)
~$3.8M generated this year across the group
~1 in 4 crossed $10K/month within their first 90 days
Average member ROI: 8–12x their investment in Year 1

No guarantees. Just the data.

The 7-Day Fit Check

We don’t believe in convincing people to stay.

If you join Inner Circle and decide within the first 7 days that it’s not what you expected, we’ll refund you in full. No friction. No awkward conversations.

Likewise, if we feel it isn’t the right fit, we’ll tell you and buy your spot back.

We think and plan in yearly timeframes — but there’s no contract.
You can leave anytime if it stops being valuable.

That's the FinePrint™

This is a small group by design.

I’m not trying to help everyone — just the right people.

Inner Circle is a fit if:

you’ve made your first dollar as a photographer or videographer
you want structure, not more random information
you’re willing to follow a plan
you’re coachable and open to feedback
you're cool with the occasional golden retriever dropping into a session

If you need convincing, this probably isn’t a fit.

Inner Circle works best when the logic already makes sense to you.

What Happens Next
If this feels aligned:

Step 1: Grab your spot at - https://bit.ly/4g1rktn
(You'll choose your tier — IC or Weekly/Monthly Mentorship — during checkout.)

Step 2: I’ll get you enrolled and your account set up instantly
Step 3: We’ll hold your spot for the next IC Kickoff Call

The moment you join, everything is unlocked — systems, tools, training, CRM, and AI — so you can start moving immediately.

Inner Circle is designed to be tried, not debated.

Join, execute the first 30 days, and decide based on results — not promises.

You're not locked in. You only stay if it keeps working.
