If You’re an Agency Owner or are Selling your Services as a Freelancer and…

You struggle to attract and convert high-quality prospects.
You are trapped in the grasp of impostor syndrome.
You wish you had a process that would solve these challenges...
Then this FREE course was was designed for you. For almost a decade I’ve been helping businesses move to the next stage, expand, and achieve their visions. And since I’ve implemented this system, a lot has happened.
But I don’t want you to just take my word for it…
$25,750 WordPress Project
If you’re a freelancer, WordPress developer or agency owner...
Here is what this FREE course can help you with:
-
Acquiring bigger projects.
Projects which produce a higher return on investment for your clients, which in turn allows you to charge more (because of the value you provide) and makes you more likely to be referred. This is the driving force behind exponential growth. -
Working with confidence.
Ready to take on any challenge. Certain of your own ability. And building a reputation which gets you the recurring work anyone would dream of. -
You’ll stop self-sabotaging.
And send out those proposals with confidence. With the tools to keep doubt or any form of thought paralysis at bay by changing your relationship with these feelings. Just imagine the productivity and speed you’ll have without self-doubt… -
Capitalizing on new opportunities.
When you see a potential hot market, or niche, which is primed for the taking, you’ll be the one who goes for it. Because this system, the confidence, and the knowledge you’ll gain works in any industry or market. -
Negotiating with power.
And without guilt. Without tricks. Without manipulation. Because you’ll use the one simple secret which creates win-win situations for you and your prospective clients. -
Having a proven system.
Giving you something to fall back on. A foundation which is solid and reliable. Because truthfully, success with your agency doesn’t have to be as hard as we make it. Unfortunately, without a system it is.
Here Are Some of My Client Results With This System
In June, I generated over $127,000 for an Ecommerce client. In just one month, using email automations.
We redesigned, developed, and implemented an email automation strategy for a lead generation client that sells $10,000+ laser machines. They went from selling a total of just 29 units in 2019 - to 129 units in one month!
Yet, that’s not all…
Last year, one of my clients got acquired just 15 months after launch after I implemented the principles, methods, and processes of my system.
And lastly, with the help of this system…
I took an Ecommerce site from $750,000 in Annual sales to over $5.5 million in annual sales in 12 months.
Bottom line: This system works.
So, if you’re ready to use a proven system which lets you predictably and consistently deliver tremendous value to your clients, giving you greater profits, and referrals…

Frequently Asked Questions
Great question and it is an important one. I built this 8 week training for what I needed for when I first started and I want to help as many freelancers and agency owners as possible generate the clients and revenue they know they are capable of. So I made the training completely free alongside the private community and weekly support calls from me. What this course also has are a ton of premium resources that you can pay for if you want them. Essentially it is an entire WordPress agency in a box. All of the details of the resources are in the training modules.
I absolutely wish I could guarantee this for each and every student that goes through the course, but unfortunately I can’t guarantee any type of results. What I do know is that this process works for me and my agency. It has completely transformed my business and mindset.
I have designed this course to begin delivering results from week 1. If you put in the time and take action, you can see improvements quickly. It really comes down to how much time and energy you are willing to put into this course weekly.
Absolutely! Once you enroll in the course, you will have access to all 8 weeks of training 24/7 and will have lifetime access to the course you enrolled in.
We offer multiple channels for support. We have a private community where you can ask questions or you can feel free to ask me anything during our weekly Q&A call. Finally, you can also submit a ticket to our Support Team and we’ll follow up with you promptly.
Absolutely! I designed this course to be easy to digest and it is broken into easy chunks for busy people. You can go through each week’s modules as quickly or as slowly as you prefer. What we really care about is that you are taking action each week.

Jon TaggartFounder of UPWORD & Taggart Media Group
It still feels surreal to be in a position to advise others because I used to feel like an imposter, and didn't feel confident charging more for my projects. I spent almost 10 years overcoming these obstacles and my goal is to help as many freelancers as possible overcome them as well, using my proven process that works consistently and predictability to greatly increase your revenue and your confidence.
My WordPress agency has generated over $10 million dollars for my clients using this process. It has also allowed me to completely overhaul my rates with the value I am now able to provide to my clients. I used to charge $1,500 per WordPress project and now I am able to consistently convert projects at rates of $5,000, $10,000 and even $20,000+
