Calculate your number โ"Everything she said we'd accomplish at the beginning was possible โ and I actually did it. I rebuilt my entire signature program from the ground up. When I launched, five women joined right away. Here's the truth: last year I spent $16,000 on another coaching program that didn't give me even a quarter of the knowledge, support, clarity, and success that I got here. For years I couldn't nail down my Zone 1 client โ but in this program, it finally clicked. With Christel's coaching I will be doubling my prices for my next launch. She has this gift of seeing you clearly, pulling out your magic, and helping you turn it into a program that doesn't just work โ it sells."
