By the end of this, you’ll discover your genius, created your first 1:1 service packages + have something to sell.

 

Let me know if this sounds familiar…

Your desire to start a business is strong, yet you have no clue what you’d offer. You see other online entrepreneurs and you think: “Wow, their stuff is so good, but what would I ever sell?”

You also wonder about business modules, how you’ll make money, and get sales. “Pricing? Customers? Oh gosh, taxes? Legal!” These are perhaps even questions that keep you up at night at 3am.

Instead, you’d love for someone to sit down with you and map it all out. This way, you can launch with confidence, feel clear about what you’re offering, and understand how you’re different from the crowd.

By the end of this package, you will have…

 
  • A clear understanding of your genius and what makes YOU unique in a saturated market. (Because you probably worry that what you have to say isn’t special or that it’s “already been done before” or that other people are doing it much better than you).

  • Discovered what YOU can sell with your expertise. (+ How to position your past experience so it makes sense on a sales page and connects with potential clients).

  • Determined your target market, who your ideal client is, and what they are looking for. Plus, how to test and validate that this target market will ACTUALLY buy your 1:1 package versus it just sitting idle on your website and collecting dust.

  • 2 clearly defined 1:1 service packages. You will walk out of this intensive with FULL clarity on what you’re selling, the price point, who your target market is, and what you’ll be delivering in your package. (This includes your package name, duration, price, who it’s for, what’s included, and key benefits your clients will receive. Essentially, you’ll walk away with a clearly defined offer — like the one you’re looking at one — but tailored to YOU. Does that sound good?)

  • Sales page copy for your service packages that you can paste on your website. I’m a pro at taking ideas and turning them into crystal-clear sales pages, so let’s write yours together.

  • A fully fleshed-out business model based on your idea. I’ll take that dream in your heart and turn it into a business so that you can do what comes easily to you — and, make an income from it. The side effects of doing work that’s aligned with your genius include: people coming to YOU (versus the other way around), finding total flow in your work, becoming well-known in your niche, and feeling like: “Holy cow, I can’t believe I get paid to do this!”

  • A custom 90-day action plan on how to launch your business so you can hit the ground running with confidence and clarity after our call. You’ll leave knowing what to do next.

Katie Brand

Life Coach, Victoria Canada

“I am so glad I said yes and hired Kelly as a business coach for her private intensive offering. She was exactly what I needed to propel my ideas and business forward. During our session, we were able to reach total clarity on my vision for the business and mapped out two detailed packages for my clients, including prices. I had spent months considering options and within a few hours we were able to nail down the details with excitement and confidence. Kelly has an innate skill of asking the right questions to get you to prioritize, as she knows what's needed next. She offers loving and clear feedback. She knows her stuff and has the ability to make you feel focused, accountable with a clear path forward while offering kind support along the way.”

“I absolutely loved working with Kelly one on one in our private intensive! She is so efficient! In just three hours we were able to discuss my genius, create two detailed packages for my graphic design business and create a financial plan to leave my full-time job. It was so nice to dedicate three hours on brainstorming for my business and to be able to bounce ideas off of someone so experienced and intelligent. Kelly is attentive and focused and she wants you to succeed. You can feel it! I had a major breakthrough moment on the call after we put together a package that I never even considered. She checked in multiple times to make sure everything we were discussing was still aligning, which I so appreciate. She was patient and open while guiding you towards a clear path for your business. As a creative who was at times insecure about my business skills, Kelly was the perfect match for me! I feel much more confident now.”

 

Lauren Babb

Life + Career Coach, Chicago USA

I wanted to work for myself and be my own boss so that  I could have a job that I enjoyed doing and didn't dread going into every day. Taking steps to achieving career freedom was so liberating. It makes me look forward to the future. Some lightbulb moments for me were coming to see that what I am inherently good at can actually be monetized — to the point of making a real living. That I could be my own boss and that having my own business didn't have to be a dream or extremely hard to achieve. Corporate is not my only option and there are ways to make money doing the things that I love and can make a difference. Kelly was very supportive and encouraging even when I wanted to do something different from when we initially talked. She helped me come up with a plan to marry the two ideas together so that I could have the best of both worlds. I felt like Kelly was really in my corner and wanted to see me succeed. Just do it! Believe in your ability to change your circumstances and the world. You are investing in you - you can never go wrong with that investment. If you don't, you'll never know what could have been!

Singer-Songwriter + Music Producer, Vancouver Canada

“During my session with Kelly, we worked on everything from how to build a brand on social media, to how to write compelling copy for my offerings. I appreciated that Kelly had sent over a few questions before our session to get to know me better and to tailor our session to my unique needs. Since my session, I've felt more confident stepping into my authentic genius. I have far more experience in my genius than I initially thought! I just got my debut single back from my mastering engineer and I'll officially be on Spotify in the coming weeks! My major wins were writing compelling copy for my offerings, starting up my social media presence, growing an organic following, and connecting with future clients. Working with Kelly is like having a cup of coffee with a friend you’ve known forever -- one that will help you up-level in your business and life. I'm so grateful for our work together! Kelly is a creator of safe spaces. She shares her wisdom generously and is particularly great at asking thought-provoking questions -- the kind that helps you unblock challenges and turn them into opportunities.”

 

Gabby Greif

Life Coach + Virtual Skin Therapist, Chicago USA

I felt an insane transformation throughout this 3-hour call. In the beginning, I was so unsure of what direction wanted to take my passions. All I knew was that I had passions and wanted to somehow turn them into a digital business. The imposter syndrome was SO real. To be honest, I didn’t even feel worthy of having THE Kelly Trach as my business coach. It’s crazy because within those 3 hours I went from having a few ideas to having 3 complete packages with prices to offer my future clients. That is INSANE! I felt so inspired and aligned during this call. Kelly has such amazing energy that really rubs off on you! She knows the right questions to ask that really push you to look inward and pull things to the surface. I had a HUGE moment of self-realization after we put together my packages. Within 3 hours, what started as just a few vague ideas related to wanting to help people, turned into 2 concrete coaching packages that I would have never thought possible if it weren't for Kelly. She also came up with a 90-day business plan to get me up and running, which motivated me to stay on track! At the beginning of the call, I really felt unworthy of having my own business; I didn’t feel like I had much to offer anyone. Who would want ME to be their life coach? I asked Kelly if she had ever felt this way and how she overcame it. It was SO eye-opening when she said she was once in the same place. A major lightbulb went off when she said that the things that you have overcome and taught yourself, you are qualified to teach others. That shifted my perspective entirely. I know the things that worked for me and the things that didn’t along my journey of self-development and I can use those experiences to help others. That is such a beautiful way to look at it. Kelly definitely gave me the confidence boost I needed to go for it! Kelly is like having your own personal cheerleader. She made me feel so confident in my abilities and my dreams. She truly has a way of finding people's geniuses and has such a gift when it comes to working with people Throughout the call, She made me feel so inspired and helped me access a part of my intuition that I didn’t even know was there. After speaking with Kelly, you will have no choice but to go for your dreams! She gave me the push I really needed to pursue my passions. Hiring Kelly is the best money I’ve ever spent, and I would do it over and over again!

 
 

Let’s Talk About You

YOU’RE THE RIGHT CLIENT IF:

  • You have a rough idea of what you desire to create, but no business services launched yet. (Or, parts of a business are assembled but it’s not nearly close to the polished level you desire). By “rough idea” I mean something you can articulate like “I want to help first-time parents feel more grounded after baby” or “I want to do graphic design for entrepreneurs in the direct-to-consumer beauty space.” (If you have no idea, this session isn’t the right fit at this time).

  • You need someone to help illuminate your genius and show you what you’re excellent at in the world.

  • You want to sell 1:1 services.

  • The “business stuff” overwhelms you. You don’t have a roadmap to follow, there are too many moving parts that keep you up at night, and wish you could just have something solid to sell.

  • You have a can-do attitude. You’re the kind of person that finds a way if they want it!

  • You have a track record of success. (Whatever that is for you!) Previous success indicates future success. This could be working at an awesome job, getting into a master’s program, or being the hardest working intern in the office. When you set your mind to something, you accomplish it. You would classify yourself as an achiever.

  • You fully understand that building a business is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme. You’re good with uncertainty and you’ve got loads of grit to keep you going when there are roadblocks. (Running a full-time business isn’t for the faint of heart. Rejection, failures, and courageously putting yourself out there is a part of the process).

  • You have $5,000 to invest in your business for initial start-up costs. It’s important you have the extra funds required for legal and tech platforms investments that you’ll be making in the next 90-days.

FAQ

I don’t have a business yet. Is this right for me? Yes, this session is designed specifically for you. The good news for you is that you won’t have to make the expensive time and money mistakes that so many new entrepreneurs (like myself!) make at the start.

But it’s only a few hours with you. Will it be enough? Here’s what makes me highly unique: I get to the point quickly since my consulting is efficient and fast. Since I’ve launched 4 companies myself and 50+ for clients, I’m very dialed in on the process of turning ideas into companies.

I have a website + materials started! Can you review it before our call? Because this is a private intensive, I ask that all questions happen in the call. There is no email support or my personal review included. We’ll just do it on our call together!

Can I get a refund?  It’s kindly final sale. I encourage you to review the terms and conditions.

Is there a payment plan? It’s kindly paid up front and full. Because this is a single call with me, I require your investment to be submitted before we hop on our call together.
