Our first call is slated for Thursday December 14th at 3pm ET / 2pm CT / 1pm MT / 12pm PT. Calls take place every two weeks from that date (at the same time) until the following December in 2024. Then you’ll have a chance to renew your membership at a much discounted loyalty rate.

Feeling unsure is a natural part of embarking on any new venture. But here’s the thing: you’ll never truly know until you take that first step. And that’s precisely what ‘You Are the Brand Academy’ is here for – to support you as you explore this new path.

Our program provides the help you need, whether you’re just starting to conceptualize things or looking to refine and expand. With personalized coaching, an engaging community, and a vast library of resources, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and the practical tools to move forward.

Remember, every successful personal brand started with someone deciding to take a chance on themselves. So, if you’re even slightly considering this path, our program is tailored to help you.

No, because the Learner Track is designed for people who aren’t yet full-time in business. This is perfect if you’re still working on what product or service you’ll offer, or what niche you’ll focus on.

Yes, and we add more as we do our coaching calls. Both the Learner and Pro Tracks have several videos and playbooks to go through to make sure you have the foundations for each in place. Any new content will continue being dripped out and we will use the bi-weekly coaching calls to help you stay on track.

Yes, I will host most of the live coaching calls and will also be very active in our member forum (we use a platform called Circle, it’s great). If you need 1:1 calls, you can sign up to do that with me or one of my coaches at a “members only” discounted rate.

You have a 30-day window from the date you purchase the program to request a refund, but you must show us that you have done the first module in your Track with written proof. If you're thinking of enrolling, downloading the materials, and asking for a refund then do not register. I conduct my business with integrity and honesty, and expect those I work with to do the same.

The last thing we all want is something else on our to-do list. That’s where You Are the Brand is unique. With years of experience helping thousands of personal brands who serve in different markets, I know what works — and I’m only sharing the best, most efficient approaches.

In fact, you'll be surprised at how simple some of the strategies are. Success is sequential, not simultaneous. If you just do things in the right order, you'll see results -- and that's exactly what we're going to show you.

The good news is that the technology options and AI tools available today make this much easier –– much more than when I started out. Most of the tools you need are free and we have many tech tutorials for the apps you can use. We will also have some basic design tutorials you can use to create your content using every programs like MS Word or Apple Pages.

You don’t need one to start and we will show you how to grow one with the right lead magnets and systems.

Yes, many of our members have grown their business through referrals and prospecting. It depends on what kind of business you want to grow and the way you want to do it.

If you want to have a website, podcast, or anything else related to marketing we will show you how to build it.

Yes, renewal is every year and you have access to the course library and coaching calls as long as you’re an active member. If you cancel membership you will no longer be able to access the content.

The membership is active for one year, and before your final month you will be eligible to renew at a steeply discounted loyalty rate!

Several reasons but first I’d say that my team and I have actually done all the things we teach for ourselves and private clients successfully. I like to learn from those with real-world experience and we have plenty of that

Second, you get a wealth of resources and interaction covering nearly every facet of marketing and business growth - copywriting, design, list growth, funnels, summits, book launches and more. Admittedly we don’t teach about, say, Pinterest or TikTok specifically but the principles we cover can be applied to those platforms and others.

Third, I’d say the price. I really try to make this a no brainer especially given how much time you’ll get in sessions and the feedback. Most other programs change way more with way less interaction and much less topic scope.

Last, I’d say the community. Good people know more good people who know more good people.

Of course this is a question that differs case by case but the way I approach it is we aim to get one revenue stream to $10,000 per month. Some people get there with one, others with several. But the strategy is to build up to that and then go beyond in each income stream.

If you have daytime responsibilities with family or a job, we have step by step goals (I call them SMUG numbers — Survival, Middle-class, Upper-class, Gaudy) from which you can build from especially if you want to make the leap and go full time. I did this and have coached many others in this process (especially in light of family responsibilities) and we are prepared to help you.

AI tools and our video tutorials will shave a lot of time off your work hours but you should expect to spend about three hours a week (including calls). Depending on your familiarity with your own tools and your skill in writing or content creation it may take longer in the beginning but like any skill you will get better and faster as you go. To be safe, set aside three hours a week.

While I don’t place a limit on the number of members it may not be as large as you think: our max number this past year was 51.

Of that number about 40% join the live calls at any given time. In other words, you won’t be crowded out on calls and we do a lot of breakout sessions on calls to create more interaction.

The community forum is also very active and allows for communication between my team and members as well as members to one another. We believe communication should flow both ways, so we’re really big on the community element.

No, I’ve actually run several iterations in prior years (all very well-received) but made the latest tweaks in response to what has best served our members: namely community, more direct feedback, longer calls (we went from one hour now to nearly an hour and half), and a live event (slated for May 2024 near New York City).

Our team is very responsive and you can reach out inside our community forum or contact Sadie in our customer support department if you need any help, she’s awesome. You’ll get all that info once you register.
