Enrollment is closed — the current cohort is underway. The next one runs January – May 2027.
Agency Breakthrough is my private coaching program for marketing agency owners who are done being stuck — and ready to double their income in the next 4–6 months. Ten spots open in January. Get on the waitlist and you’ll hear about them before anyone else does.
These are real results from real people. The FTC won’t let me promise the same — what I can tell you is exactly how they did it.
Jim had been stuck for over 18 months. In the year before we started working together, he signed exactly one new client. He was frustrated and couldn’t figure out what to fix.
Five months later, he’d generated $80,077 in revenue, made $28,081 in additional profit, and 3x’d the clients he signed in a full year — in less than half the time. He hit his 12-month revenue goal in 5 months.
“What sets John apart is that he’s lived it — he built, ran, and sold his own agency. If you’re a service business owner who knows you’re capable of more, John will show you the path.”— Jim M.
Kelly wasn’t stuck — she was already growing. But she was starting to feel the strain that comes with scaling: pricing that felt like guesswork, no clear picture of her numbers, and the nagging fear that if she hired wrong she’d build herself a job instead of a business.
She doubled her monthly revenue from $28k to $57k. She has a team in place. We’re now working toward $100k/month by October.
M. cut his working hours by 120 per month, dropped 40% of his clients, and made the same money at a much higher hourly rate. He solidified his lead flow with better-paying clients and, best of all, finally had time to take care of his health.
A. & K. tripled their monthly income, doubled their prices, and built consistent lead flow from LLMs and SEO — as a paid ads agency. They’re preparing to welcome their first child without the agency falling apart around them.
faster results in a group coaching program
than in 1:1 coaching alone
When you’re in a room with people who are a few steps ahead of you, you stop wondering if something is possible. You see it happening in real time. And when someone in the group is wrestling with a problem you solved last month, you realize how far you’ve come — and your answer helps them move faster than they would have on their own.
Everyone teaches. Everyone learns. The whole group moves faster because of it.
The group calls don’t replace the 1:1 time — they do something completely different. The group handles what’s universal. The 1:1 calls handle what’s uniquely yours: the specific numbers, the particular bottleneck, the decision only you can make. Together, they’re more powerful than either one alone.
I started as a web developer, then moved to Switzerland where I discovered marketing. I became an internationally-renowned SEO consultant, eventually working in-house at Zillow for two years before getting laid off.
That layoff became the best thing that ever happened to me. I built my SEO consultancy to $250k a year within three months. Then I built Credo, my first agency, to $48k/month and sold it to private equity. I built my second agency, EditorNinja, to that same level 3× faster and sold it to our biggest competitor.
I almost went bankrupt twice along the way. Pulled it out both times.
Now I do what I’m best at: helping agency owners scale past the plateau, install real systems, and build a business that’s profitable, sellable, and gives them their life back. I’ve made every mistake so you don’t have to.
January through May 2027. Capped at 10 people — not as a marketing tactic, because I actually need to show up for each of you.
Every other week, one hour, just us. We dig into your specific situation — your numbers, your offers, your bottlenecks. We use August, my proprietary agency operating system, so you always know exactly what to work on now and what’s coming next.
One learning call where I teach what the group is working through. One implementation call where we work live through what you’re building and make the adjustments needed. Solved 1:1, in front of the group — because your problem is almost certainly one someone else just worked through.
I’m in there daily. Not a content dump — an actual working community. Ask a question mid-week and get a real answer. Share a win and get real recognition from people who understand what it took.
My proprietary platform built for agency owners. It keeps you clear on your numbers, your goals, and your next moves — so our calls are spent solving problems, not catching up on where you are.
As soon as you’re in, you get immediate access to these — before we even officially kick off.
So your marketing targets people who can actually pay and your outreach converts. The foundation everything else is built on.
A way to get paid by skeptical prospects before they’re ready for a retainer. Some clients use this to cover the full program investment before we’re into the core work.
Not templates. Actual emails I use and send. You can adapt and deploy them immediately.
An extra session to dial in your offer and funnel together so you’re generating leads from day one — not week eight.
More on the testimonials page if you want to keep reading.
Most clients make their first payment back in a single sale or price raise — as long as they do the work.
These were the current cohort’s terms. January 2027 pricing may change — waitlist members get the final numbers first.
I’ll work with you until you’ve made at least $20,000 in extra profit — no matter how long it takes — as long as you’re actively making offers to your market. You have to do the work. But if you show up, do the work, and don’t get there, I keep showing up with you until you do.
This cohort is closed. If you want one of the ten spots in January, get on the list — that’s where I start when it opens.
