OWNING IS GREATER THAN EARNING
For the people who already generate the value and own none of it.
The expertise is already yours. We turn it into equity.

Convert Your Expertise
The Mirror.
The Map.
The Hammer.
A framework to convert what you know into what you own. We don't do theory.
We do results.
Live In 7 Days.
Your company exists in a week. Entity, infrastructure, the legal and operational foundation — set up and running before most people finish choosing a name.
Then we spend 60 days building the business on top of it.
Time commitment: ~3 hours/week. You don't quit your job.
For the professional who has the expertise and would rather buy the year back. After 60 days, the business is yours and running, with optional continuation at $1,500/mo.
- ✓Your company live in 7 days — entity and infrastructure in place
- ✓Full offer build, AI stack, and client acquisition engine
- ✓Owner's Operating Manual delivered at day 60
- ✓Lifetime Community membership and monthly live calls included
Hit your milestones and your business isn't where we said it would be? You get your money back. Milestones and deadlines are agreed up front, in writing.
Your business, built with an expert in your corner.
Everything in Community, plus weekly coaching from someone who has built 20+ companies — applied to your offer, your systems, your AI stack, and your go-to-market.
Most stay 3–6 months. No lock-in. The natural continuation after Complete.
Build it yourself, with the playbook and the room.
Full academy access (Launch, Raise, Attention) · mental frameworks · strategy + tactics · workbooks and worksheets · audio-narrated lessons · monthly live calls with Mike & the team.
For those starting out or finding their idea as part of the work. No application required.
Who This Isn't For
You're early in your career and still learning your industry. Come back when you've seen the gaps firsthand.
You want something to consume, not something to build. The Community is fifty dollars and it's the right door.
You aren't ready to commit real hours or real capital. Both tracks require one or the other, and there's no version that requires neither.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything is priced up front. No application required to find out.
Community, $50/month. Do-it-yourself. Full access to the academies, frameworks, and workbooks.
Coaching, $1,500/month. Done-with-you. Everything in Community, plus direct coaching. Most people stay 3 to 6 months.
Complete, $8,000. Done-for-you. A launched, operating business in 60 days.
You finish with a launched business and an Owner's Operating Manual, the documented playbook for running what we built together.
If you hit every milestone we set and your business isn't where we said it would be, you get your money back. That guarantee runs both ways. We agree on the milestones and deadlines up front, and they're yours to hit. Miss them and the guarantee no longer applies.
Most people continue with Coaching at $1,500/month after launch. That's optional.
No, and we'd rather you didn't. This is built for people with a career. Staying employed while you build takes away the financial pressure that kills most new businesses.
Complete asks for about three hours a week. That's the real number. Nights and weekends, on your schedule.
Mental frameworks. Control your beliefs, control your outcomes.
Strategy and tactics you can use the same week.
Workbooks, worksheets, and real examples.
Digital course materials with audio narration on every lesson.
Accountability.
Three to six months, usually. Long enough to get the business built and running. There's no lock-in.
Not at all. That's exactly who this is built for. Turning an idea into an operating business is the whole point. If anything, starting clean is an advantage. Nothing to undo.
Start in the Community. A lot of the early work is finding the right business for you: your skills, your market, the time you actually have. You don't need the idea before you start. You need a process for finding one.
Professionals who have income, expertise, and limited time, and want to build something of their own without walking away from their career.
How F*cked Are You?
The definitive guide to converting your expertise into a business you own. It's built on a proven framework that walks you through the mindset, model, and method to bypass the ceiling.
