How this works:

The goal of The Beauty First Method Foundations Program and Speaker School is simply to achieve greater impact through a range of business principles and techniques. I offer a self-paced curriculum and weekly Q&A calls so you can receive constructive feedback, clarity, encouragement, and professional guidance.
Essentially, you're getting a makeover—but for speaking.

Step 1: Vision Outline

The ultimate goals of who you want to serve and how you want to change the culture determines what aesthetic and language choices you make for your first touch-points. Build your business backwards.

Step 2: Build Funnel

Websites are outdated. Funnels are how we guide people through our work. Together, I'll lead you step-by-step as to how to build a funnel eco-system whereby you can attract, capture, nurture, and convert attention.

Step 3: Generate Demand

Once your funnel is built, then you can focus on relationship building and promotions. Learn techniques to rapidly expand your rolodex, reach more (of the right) people, and accomplish your goal of changing culture.

Who is the program NOT for?

This program might not align with everyone's aspirations or needs. Specifically, it may not be the right fit for those who:

  • Do not subscribe to the idea that there are foundational principles of attraction and aesthetics capable of consistently engaging and captivating an audience.

  • Are content with their current state and do not aspire to enhance their productivity, social connections, financial stability, or overall happiness.

  • Have already achieved significant success in building and maintaining a strong personal brand, and do not require further development in this area.

  • Are not interested in using their personal transformation as a means to assist others or to contribute positively to a community.

  • Favor a lifestyle or professional approach marked by disorganization, conflict, limitations, or negativity.

  • Do not see the necessity of an effective marketing funnel and are satisfied with the current, possibly ineffective, use of their time on social media platforms.

This program is specifically crafted for aspiring speakers and individuals committed to making a meaningful change in the world. If your journey aligns with these goals, we welcome you to join us.

Your Financial Investment

We don't work for free and neither should you. While much of the information and coaching we provide "should" be made available for free for everyone to benefit from, the truth is we know you won't value our help if it didn't cost you anything. Also, we would burn out and resent our community if our time was not valued and we couldn't have have peace knowing our bills are covered. Which is why we are offering the Beauty First Method Foundations Program and Speaker School at the cost of $197/month for as long as you need us.

In terms of a digital makeover, if you were to try and hire an agency for a brand overhaul, even for just a small business or startup, it would cost you minimum $5,000 but more likely in the $40k-50k range. I charge my clients a minimum of $15,000 to build a basic revenue funnel. With the Beauty First Method Foundations Program, you get access to tools and techniques, as well as a community, that can be the affordable solution you need to make headway in your mission.
