② The Climb · who ascends — same brand, three rungs, by maturity
RUNG 1 · SOLOPRENEUR / EARLY STAGE
Starting out
"We all start somewhere. I see you — I want to help you."
Free Skool community + free training. Clarity early, before you lose your way.
DIY
↳ maps to L1–L2 · the feeder
RUNG 2 · GROWN PAST THE COMFORT ZONE
The accidental entrepreneur
"I spent 15 years here, you don't have to."
Paid group + implementorship. The operating manual nobody gave you — repeatable for new hires.
Do-it-with-support
↳ the monetized middle · core ICP
RUNG 3 · READY TO LET GO
The flagship
"The triple win. The sparkly unicorn." — the BHAG
Done-with-you. OMA → Implementation → Management → Leadership. De-risk the transaction, end to end.
Done-with-you
↳ maps to L3–L4 + the succession spearhead
The delivery ladder: DIY → Implementorship → Done-with-you
➤
Campaigns cut across · the spearhead
"Owned by Canadians" — Can You Actually Leave?
The employee-ownership / succession campaign. Aims at owners at the exit trigger — max pain, max willingness to pay — and drives them into the community and the readiness services.
