Do you feel confused about how to market your business?
Does social media kind of stress you out?
Are you ready to share your gifts with the world in a bigger way… but you’re scared to put yourself out there?
Are you unclear about your niche… your message… and what makes you stand out from all the other people in your industry?
Do you love helping people – but asking them to pay you feels super uncomfortable?
Do you struggle with self-doubt, fear of failure, and fear of rejection? (And it’s getting in the way of you growing your business?)
Do you look at other “soulful service providers” making $5K-$10K+ per month… and wonder what they know that you don’t?
… Or maybe you’ve hit $5K-$10K+ months before but your income has been inconsistent, and you’re not sure what you’re doing wrong?
Have you bought a bunch of courses on social media & online marketing – but they haven’t gotten you any paying clients?

Or – are you simply tired of complicated online marketing strategies, and you’re ready for a simplified approach to grow your business?

I’ve been there…

My “Failure to $500K” Story

Five years ago, I was ready to transition from my marketing career into work I truly loved.

I wanted to become a coach, but the truth is, I was terrified.

I had spent years building up a stable 6-figure+ income, and a great reputation in my industry. It felt crazy to throw that all away and start over from scratch.

It didn’t help that I’d tried to make the “leap” into coaching a year prior to that – and failed miserably.

(After promoting my new business on social media for a while, I got ONE client who was paying me next-to-nothing… and within 60 days I was running out of money and had to go back to my marketing career. I was so discouraged and embarrassed. I thought I’d never try again.)

No complicated marketing necessary.

To be totally honest, I did eventually go through a phase where I invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into hiring marketing experts, growing my team, and trying lots of “fancy” strategies like paid ads and marketing funnels

… but it was a total flop!

80-90% of our revenue STILL came from our warm network, referrals, and the simple marketing strategies I’d followed since Day 1.

Which is when it hit me… I already knew what worked to grow a thriving 6-figure (and even multiple 6-figure) business!

So why was I overcomplicating it??

I scaled back the team, stopped the ads, and went back to the “basics.”

And I got my time back, my energy & inspiration back, and our business continued to grow and thrive! (Plus, we became a lot more profitable.)

Which is when I knew… I needed to share this with others.

I saw so many people struggling the way I did when I was first starting out – or later – when I bought into the myth that you need more/fancier marketing strategies to be successful.

(Which, as you’re probably getting by now, is simply NOT true.)

I had been teaching these strategies to private clients and in an intimate group coaching program for a while, with phenomenal results.

Coaches, consultants, bookkeepers, interior designers, and other soulful service-based business owners were all able to use the “Simplified Business System” to get crystal clear, confident, and to find & enroll their dream clients!

So, I decided to take the best of the best of what I’ve learned over the past decade of building two 6-figure+ companies – and especially in the past 5 years of growing my “soul-led” coaching business…

"Before we worked together I was not just afraid to go after my dreams – I was afraid to dream. (I thought it would be better to not dream, than to dream and be disappointed.)

Makena helped me rediscover my bigger dreams, and the step-by-step plan to start making them a reality. With her support, I got the courage to leave my job and become my own boss.

I tripled my income in a matter of weeks – and now I’m making 4-5X my previous income. I moved into my dream apartment. Opportunities are coming to me left and right.

I had no idea this was possible. I had tried to go out on my own so many times, but I really needed the support & accountability to make it happen. Thank you!"

"I was one of those people who didn't know how to get clients, or how to do all the business stuff. I didn’t like it, and I didn’t want to go there. And I had a good life! I wasn’t unhappy, but I sensed that I wasn’t being completely authentic with who I am. And I do think I was walking towards burnout. Finally, it came to a point where I said, “I’m changing things right now.”

I didn’t have the money when I signed up, and that really scared me. But I trusted you, and I trusted the program, so I signed up on a payment plan. And I ended up earning my money back, and more, while I was in the training. So in some ways, I think you’re very cheap! ;)

I gained so much confidence. I raised my prices, which was unthinkable to me before. I used to get so confused when it came to business, but you made it so clear and step-by-step. So I decided to just follow the instructions exactly. And guess what? They work!"

- Nicole

(Actress & Life Coach | Germany)

"Before working with Makena, I was very stressed. I was having anxiety attacks almost daily. My relationships with my husband and my kids were not doing well. I was struggling just to get through my day. I was doing okay financially – but the motivation to grow my business just wasn’t really there.

After working with you, my income jumped from $90K to $145,000 in one year. (And I’m aiming for $200,000 next!)

I’m anxiety-free – and no longer have anxiety attacks. I’m so much clearer. I know what I want, and how I'm going to get there. I’m more relaxed and at ease. I’m no longer the reactive person I was in my relationships. With my husband, we laugh now. We go on dates. And I spend lots of quality time with my kids.

I came into the coaching for my business, and everything else was a huge bonus. Thank you for everything!"

As someone said to me the other day, “it’s like a business in a box!”

And in many ways, it is. But truthfully, there is no such thing. Because YOU are 100% unique.

There is no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” business. Don’t let anyone convince

you otherwise!

That’s how most marketing programs get sold. They convince you this is THE strategy you need, and it’s better than anything else out there.

And for them, that might be true! After all, they’ve used it successfully, and now they want to teach it to you.

But here’s the problem with that:

What if the strategy isn’t the right strategy for YOU? What if it doesn’t fit your natural gifts, talents & curiosity?

Then all you’ve learned is what doesn’t work for you. (Which is still valuable! But probably not what you were hoping for when you invested all that time & money.)

So, how is Simplified Business Bootcamp different?

Well for starters, the program is only 30% strategy. The other 70% is all about getting you the clarity, confidence, skills & support to grow your thriving business.

This is what most programs skip over – or barely cover. But these are THE most important factors in your success!

Think about it…

Have you ever known what you could or “should” do to

grow your business, and yet you just don’t do it?

Or maybe you’ve felt confused & overwhelmed because there

are SO MANY strategies to follow – and you don’t

know where to focus your time & energy?

That’s because strategy is only one part of the story.

What is FAR more important is:

Developing the mindset of a successful entrepreneur, so you can ride the emotional “waves” without crashing.
Getting clear on what makes you unique – so you can stand out in a crowded marketplace, and have the confidence to put yourself out there.
Learning the “art of the invitation” and how to take someone from a casual connection or DM conversation to a paying client – so you never lose out on potential business because you felt scared or unsure of how to "warm someone up" and have them excited to say “yes” to working with you.

These are skills that will serve you

for the rest of your life.

Only AFTER we’ve done all of this will we cover marketing strategies. Why?

I always use the analogy of a leaky bucket…

Imagine you have a bucket, and you’re going out there learning all these strategies to get more water (aka clients) into your bucket. You’re posting on social media, you’re running ads, you’re developing lead magnets and funnels.

And it’s working! Water is starting to flow into your bucket.

At first, you want to celebrate. You’re actually doing it!!

But then you realize… wait a second. Why isn’t my bucket filling up?!

Then you finally look inside. And you see, the bottom of your bucket is full of tiny holes. So all of the water that’s flowing in is simply seeping back out the bottom of the bucket.

All of the potential clients you are interacting with are NOT signing up.

This is what happens when you focus all your time & energy on marketing, without developing the mindset, skills &

confidence to run a successful business.

Not to mention, lacking a clear and systematic “client cultivation flow” that will take someone from curious about what you do, to becoming a paying client.

(Hint: Most business owners are asking their prospects to “marry them on the first date.” But 90% of people need to get to know you first, before they are ready to say “yes” to working with you. That’s what your client cultivation flow is designed to do… help them get to know, like & trust you so they are ready to say “I do!” ;-)

So – are you ready to fill the holes in your bucket?

The incredible thing about what you will learn in this course is that it’s going to serve you for YEARS to come. I have literally made millions of dollars using the mindset, skills & strategies I’m going to teach you.

This isn’t a “quick fix” or “get rich quick” approach.

P.S. If you’re wondering if you’re “ready” for this…

Let me ask you something. Do you feel a call to something more? Do you sense that there are gifts inside you, waiting to be unlocked? Do you have a sense that you’re meant to be an entrepreneur, even if you’re not 100% sure what you want to do yet? Then you owe it to yourself to take the next step. Because clarity comes through ACTION.

You can’t learn to ride a bike by thinking about riding a bike, and strategizing about how you’re going to ride the bike… You have to actually get on the bike, fall down a few times, and then next thing you know, you’re soaring. Clarity in business works the same way. You can’t plan or strategize it all in advance. You have to take action and try something.

Think of it like starting a project instead of starting a business. See one idea through for 90 days, and you’ll have so much more clarity at the end of those three months. You’ll either know that “Yes, I want to do this!” Or, “Nope, this isn’t it.” But either way you’ll be SO much further along than you were before. And if you go through the Simplified Business Bootcamp, you’ll have all the clarity & skills you need to shift gears quickly and make Option B a huge success. I’ve seen this time and time again in my coaching clients.

Don’t let over-thinking, over-analyzing or perfectionism get in the way of your success. To get a different result, you have to do something different. That’s what this course is all about.

P.P.S. If you’ve been in business for a while and you’re wondering, “Is this going to be too basic for me?”

Let me ask you this… Are you having consistent $5K-$10K+ months? Do you have a clear and effective system for finding & enrolling clients that is working, month after month? Are you feeling clear, confident, and consistently in action to move your business forward?

If you answered YES to all three of these questions, then this program may not be right for you. However, if you’re seeing some gaps between where you are and where you want to be, then you will absolutely get value out of this program. In fact, if you’re anything like some of my “seasoned” entrepreneur clients who have applied the Simplified Business System in the past, you are very likely to catch on super quickly – and start getting results FAST. It’s time for you to break through to 6 figures and beyond. I’m here to help. Let’s do this!

"Before we worked together, I was struggling with not enough money – and not enough energy. I had been coaching for many years, and I had hired many coaches, but I had never reached the financial goals I had always really wanted. So even though I had had some success, I didn’t believe in myself very much.

From day one, you always believed in me. You always gave me this big respect and a kind of love. And this was so important for me because I was not in good shape. I really needed it.

After our first year working together, I not only reached my money goal – I surpassed it! You helped me create a clear structure for how to get clients without needing to be on social media. I am so much more relaxed because I’m trusting myself and the universe again. Thank you!"

- Henrike

(Life & Business Coach | Germany)

"Before I coached with Makena, I was struggling. I was overwhelmed. I didn’t feel like I could keep up with the amount of responsibility I had, even though I was working a crazy amount of hours. I was struggling with really bad anxiety, to the point where most days, I would wake up a couple hours before work just so I could cry or throw up or whatever that release was to feel okay enough to actually jump online and be able to get to work.

After we started working together, I ended up leaving that job. I started a laser hair removal business and a consulting business.

I’m no longer dealing with anxiety in the same way. It’s been a couple of months since I’ve had a strong episode of anxiety, and that’s huge for me. I feel a lot more at ease in my life, and I feel so much more alive. I now stand as a woman who is able to accomplish all the things I've wanted to accomplish – and do it in a way that's sustainable.

If you’re thinking about coaching with Makena, just do it."

Why is Now the Time?

(aka: What about the economy?!)

If you’re worried about investing in yourself when the world feels like it’s going crazy, I get it. Between the pandemic, the recession, war, and climate change, you may feel like it’s the worst possible time to take a “risk” and grow your own business.

But in my opinion, those are exactly the reasons now is the perfect time. Think about it… Stable careers are quickly becoming a thing of the past. People used to stay in one job for decades, and now it’s common to have dozens of different jobs throughout your career. Work-from-home has given people a taste of freedom & flexibility, and many want more. Plus, there’s the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence. Finances Online reported that “Automation will displace 85 million jobs globally by 2025.”

Which means… We are in the era of the entrepreneur.

The best possible path to “stability” is to take your future into your own hands. When the pandemic hit, very little changed in my career because I was already working 100% remotely with clients all over the world, and I felt confident that no matter what happened, I had all the skills I needed to continue to survive and thrive as a business owner.

I want that kind of security for you too. I want you to know without a doubt that you can grow and sustain a successful service-based business in any field you choose, now and in the future.

And that’s exactly what this program is about.

If you have any questions, check out the FAQs section below. If you don’t see your question answered there, feel free to email questions@followyouraliveness.com.

Q: I haven’t started a business yet. Is this right for me?

A: Absolutely. My recommendation is to think about it like you’re starting a project, instead of starting a business. This helps take the pressure and overwhelm out of things. Pick ONE idea and see it through for 90 days, and you’ll have so much more clarity at the end of those three months. You’ll either know that “Yes, I want to do this!” Or, “Nope, this isn’t it.” But either way you’ll be SO much further along than you were before.

And if Option A isn’t it? By going through the Simplified Business Bootcamp, you’ll have all the clarity & skills you need to shift gears quickly and make Option B a huge success. I’ve seen this time and time again in my coaching clients. Don’t let over-thinking, over-analyzing or perfectionism get in the way of your success. To get a different result, you have to do something different. That’s what this course is all about.

Q: I’ve been in business for a while. Is this going to be too basic for me?

A: Let me ask you this… Are you having consistent $5K-$10K+ months? Do you have a clear and effective system for finding & enrolling clients that is working, month after month? Are you feeling clear, confident, and consistently in action to move your business forward?

Q: Can you guarantee specific results?

A: I have personally used the principles and strategies in this program to build a $150K per year marketing business, and a $500K per year coaching business. Many of our clients have applied the “Simplified Business System” to create incredible results (you can read & watch some of their stories in their own words on this page). However, as we have no way of knowing if or how you will apply what you are learning in this program, we cannot guarantee your results. The testimonials on this page may not be typical for all students.

Have you bought a bunch of courses on social media & online marketing – but they haven’t gotten you any paying clients?
Are you feeling discouraged because you know deep down this is what you’re meant to do, but it just isn’t taking off the way you need it to?

My “Failure to $500K” Story

Five years ago, I was ready to transition from my marketing career into work I truly loved.

I wanted to become a coach, but the truth is, I was terrified.

I had spent years building up a stable 6-figure+ income, and a great reputation in my industry. It felt crazy to throw that all away and start over from scratch.

Only AFTER we’ve done all of this will we cover marketing strategies. Why?

I always use the analogy of a leaky bucket…

And it’s working! Water is starting to flow into your bucket.

At first, you want to celebrate. You’re actually doing it!!

But then you realize… wait a second. Why isn’t my bucket filling up?!

Then you finally look inside. And you see, the bottom of your bucket is full of tiny holes. So all of the water that’s flowing in is simply seeping back out the bottom of the bucket.

All of the potential clients you are interacting with are NOT signing up.

This is what happens when you focus all your time & energy on marketing, without developing the mindset, skills & confidence to run a successful business.

Not to mention, lacking a clear and systematic “client cultivation flow” that will take someone from curious about what you do, to becoming a paying client.

So – are you ready to fill the holes in your bucket?

This isn’t a “quick fix” or “get rich quick” approach.

P.S. If you’re wondering if you’re “ready” for this…

Don’t let over-thinking, over-analyzing or perfectionism get in the way of your success. To get a different result, you have to do something different. That’s what this course is all about.

P.P.S. If you’ve been in business for a while and you’re wondering, “Is this going to be too basic for me?”

From day one, you always believed in me. You always gave me this big respect and a kind of love. And this was so important for me because I was not in good shape. I really needed it.
