The Upgrade Academy

You don't need a bigger audience. You need to stop leaving money on the table with the one you already have.

More followers, more content, another launch, another freebie — that's the tiring way. But you've already got an audience. Already got an offer. Already made sales.

The gap between where you are and what your business could actually produce isn't a you problem. It's an upgrade problem.

real time

The Upgrade Academy is just getting started — which means the content is being created and added as we go. You're joining at the ground floor, shaping the program as it's built, and locking in the founding rate before everything is fully live.

Sound Familiar?

Revenue stalls — even when you're doing everything "right"


Here's what's usually happening underneath:

  • Someone buys your offer… and that's the end of it. No bump, no next step, no reason to come back.
  • Your free content brings people in, but there's no clear path from free to paid — so most of them just stay free.
  • Your lead magnet does its job, but nothing catches the people who download it and drift away.
  • You're one launch away from burnout, because launching is the only way you know how to make money.

None of that means you're behind. It means your business has upgrades sitting uninstalled — revenue you've already earned the right to, just not turned on yet.

The Shift

The quiet earners aren't the ones with the biggest audiences


They're the ones who've plugged every leak between "someone's paying attention" and "someone's paying you" — and again between "someone bought once" and "someone buys again."

Order bumps. Tripwires. Free-to-paid sequences. Recurring offers.

That's the whole game. And it's completely learnable — in the right order, for your business, not a generic template.

How It Works

A simple two-layer method


Layer One

Your Foundation

Two pieces, and almost nobody has both working: a free community people actually want to be in, and a low-ticket membership waiting for the ones who want more. Plus the thing that fills the free side and the path that moves people from free to paid. That's the base. Most coaches have half of it built and can't figure out why revenue is flat. Your first milestone is a complete Foundation, personalized to exactly what you're missing.

Layer Two

Your Upgrades

Once the free group and the membership are running, you pull from the Upgrade Lever Library — a menu of revenue upgrades sequenced for your specific business and your next goal. Not a fixed curriculum everyone marches through together. Your path, built around where you are and where you're going.

This isn't a course you binge and forget. It's a coaching container where the upgrades actually get installed.

What's Included

Everything you need to install your upgrades


Fast Start

Your 90-Day Foundation

A personalized plan to get your free community live and your low-ticket membership open — wherever you're starting from. No generic checklist, no one-size-fits-all sprint. We build around exactly what your business is missing, and your first upgrades go live from there.

The Method

The Upgrade Framework

A step-by-step method covering every revenue upgrade a coaching business needs: funnels, order bumps, tripwires, free-to-paid systems, webinars, community monetization, ascension. Training, templates, and implementation checklists for each — built out with you inside the program.

Live Support

Live Hot Seat Calls

Group coaching where your real situation gets real answers. Bring your funnel, your offer, your numbers — we work on it live, together.

Stay On Track

Milestone Tracking + Accountability

A progress scorecard and a coach who's actually watching. You'll see your own path, your progress, and your next step at a glance. And if you go quiet? I'll notice.

Is This You?

Who The Upgrade Academy is for


This is for you if…

  • You've got an audience, an offer, and some sales — but you know there's more your business could be producing.
  • You're tired of the launch-rest-launch cycle being your only revenue lever.
  • You'd rather install a few smart upgrades on what already works than chase the next shiny growth hack.
  • You want a coach who'll actually look at your numbers and tell you the next right move.

This isn't for you if…

  • You're at zero — no audience, no offer, no sales yet.
  • You're looking for a build-from-scratch program. This is about upgrading what already exists.
  • You want a course to binge alone, with no coaching and no accountability.

A Note From Me

I built this because I kept watching talented coaches assume the answer was more — when what they actually needed was to stop leaking the revenue already flowing past them.

Fixing that is faster, calmer, and honestly a lot more fun than another exhausting launch. If that's where you are, I'd love to help you install the upgrades your business has been missing.

Questions

Good to know


Is this cohort-based? Do I have to start on a certain date?
No. You start when you join, and your path is personalized from day one. You're moving on your own timeline, with support the whole way.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. You can pay $1,997 in full, or split it into 6 monthly payments of $399. Either way you get full access from day one — the plan just spreads the investment out.
What if I'm not techy?
The framework includes templates and implementation checklists, and the hot seats are where we work through the stuck parts together. You don't have to figure it out alone.
I was in Summer Skool Second Semester — how does the credit work?
Enter code SKOOL at checkout for 20% off — $399.40, slightly more than the $397 you paid for Summer Skool. That's $1,597.60 in full, or 6 payments of $319.20 on the plan. Nothing to email me, nothing to prove — the code does it. It expires September 10 at midnight MT.
What platform is this on?
The community and content live in Skool. You'll get access to everything as soon as you join.
How much time does it take?
As much or as little as you can give it — the point is progress, not busywork. The milestone tracking keeps you focused on the next right move so you're never spinning your wheels.
Is the $1,997 really going up?
Yes. The founding rate is the lowest it will ever be. As more members join, the price rises toward its full rate. Locking in now locks in your rate.

Your business is already producing less than it could

Let's install the upgrades that change that — on the audience you already have.
