The experts online tell you, "Just start outsourcing!". But you don't quite have the budget for that yet, and you wouldn't even know what to delegate first.
So you keep trying to get new clients—because if you can just grow your income, then maybe, one day soon, you'll be able to hire someone to take some tasks off your plate.
Only, you find yourself stuck in a vicious circle:
The more clients you take on, the bigger your workload becomes and the less time you have to spend working on your business.
Which means that the crucial foundations like systems, structure, and strategy become an afterthought.
Here's the thing:
But I'm guessing you've already experienced that first-hand, right?
Which means that while, yes, you’re incredibly proud of the business you’ve built from scratch and the amazing results you get for your clients and your students…
You’re secretly wondering if your business will ever truly give you the time freedom and financial freedom you crave.
Sound familiar?
Welcome to the messy middle of your business.
Implement strategy, systems and structure that create focus, so you feel in control of your business and know how to get the best results from your limited time and energy.
You're doing everything
ad hoc, so you feel overwhelmed and exhausted, and you're not using your time as effectively as you could.
You're doing everything ad hoc, so you feel overwhelmed and exhausted, and you're not using your time as effectively as you could.
Intentionally allocate your time between generating income in the short term AND setting up the foundations that scale your income without scaling your workload.
You're prioritising the things that deliver revenue in the short term (more clients!) over those that will create freedom and growth in the longer term.
Set up the right foundations so you can amplify your results from all the strategies and tactics you implement. (Like, hiring a virtual assistant? It's *much* easier once you have systems and processes in place!)
You're looking for ONE solution to create freedom in your business (like launching an online course, increasing your prices or starting to run Facebook Ads), but skipping the big-picture approach means you're limiting your results from each thing you try.
I had less free time and was making less income than I had in my corporate role.
Back in August 2018, I took my first "offline" holiday from my business—and spent the entire 5 days with my arm in the air, trying to find a strong enough signal to check my emails.
I was physically away from my desk. But, mentally? I was still there.
My mind was still freaking out about what client emergencies I'd find in my inbox when I returned... And where I'd find that next new client so I could afford to pay my team for working extra hours while I was away.
That holiday was my wake-up call.
I'd started my business so I could have time freedom, location freedom, and financial freedom. And while I could now work from anywhere around the world (yay!), I spent more time cafe-hopping in search of free wifi than I spent *actually* exploring new cities.
I knew that in order for something to change, something had to change. So I re-designed my business from the ground up.
Two years later? My business wrapped up its first million-dollar year.
In 2021, I was able to take a month off to live in a van and travel with my dog. In 2022, I left my laptop behind while I went on a 230 km (143 mile) backpacking trip through outback Australia.
Maybe your vision for freedom isn't more travel. Maybe it's more time with your family. More time for your hobbies outside of your business. Less financial stress.
Whatever your flavour of freedom looks like, here's what you need to know:
No matter what your business looks like at this moment, it has the potential to give you the time freedom and financial freedom you crave.
And if you’re ready to scale to consistent $10k months and beyond without scaling your workload, I’ve got a new-and-improved 6-month experience with your name on it:
Scaling your income *without* the right foundations means scaling your workload and stress—and you definitely don't want that! In our 6 months together, you'll set up the systems and structure for growth that feels streamlined and easy.
Whether your favourite part is creating content, serving your clients, or going live inside your signature program, you’ll get to choose how you spend your time through systems and strategic delegation. (Yep, even if you can't afford to hire anyone just yet!).
You'll implement strategic messaging, a new marketing strategy and fresh sales processes that set you up to consistently hit your next-level income goals, even when you aren't launching or you want to spend some time offline.
When you sign up, your first port of call is the seven-step Business Audit to review every single part of your business so you can fix what's not working, simplify everything and spot the growth opportunities you've overlooked.
Sound like a big claim? Here are some of the "a-ha" moments my founding students had immediately after completing the audit:
"[It] helped me focus on what I needed to change".
"I realized that I needed to slightly pivot in my business and really focus in on a few offers that I do really well rather than trying to be the 'Jane of all trades'".
"It helped me lay out some of the foundations for my business that I had inadvertently skipped over".
And if you need a little more time to implement it all (or want to revisit it again as your business grows) you'll have lifetime access to all of the content.
I know how challenging it can be to carve out space in your week to work on your business, which is why once a month, you'll have a Get-It-Done Session blocked out in your calendar. This is 2 hours of focused co-working with your peers, so you can set aside all the day-to-day distractions and have the time to implement what you've learned in the program each month.
1 x Get-It-Done Session
each month
Once a month, you can jump on Zoom with your fellow Freedom Fast Trackers, and we'll pop you into small group breakout rooms where you'll each have around 10 minutes in the "hot seat". Use this time with your peers to workshop a challenge you're facing, brainstorm ideas together or even simply chat with other business owners who get it.
1 x Peer Mastermind Call
each month
Need help deciding what to do next? Need feedback or reassurance that you're on the right track? Need support in dealing with a sticky situation in your business? Join me and the rest of the cohort on Zoom for 60 minutes twice a month, and I'll coach you through your questions and challenges live.
2 x Hot-Seat Coaching Calls each month
If you're feeling stuck between calls, need a little pep talk or want to share a win, jump into our cosy Facebook Group and share. My team and I are in there most days, meaning you've got us—and your peers—on tap to ensure you're 100% supported over the next 6 months.
The Community Space
"I have been able to keep better track of my overall finances. I have been able to manage and track my time better. Most of all, I have been able to up my prices and secure new clients at those higher price points"
"I am taking imperfect action! Doing things that I feel slightly uncomfortable doing and have been putting off out of fear, procrastination, and perfectionism. It’s a huge mindset shift. I launched my group program that I’ve been planning for over a year"
"I'm now clear on my offers and sales pathways as well as the type of content I need to share to make sales. I also feel I'm in a place to start outsourcing to a VA to gain back some valuable time"

I know. It IS a massive commitment, and it can feel scary to go all-in on your business like that.
Here's the thing: creating time freedom and financial freedom in your business requires commitment and dedication.
For real. If it didn't then everyone would have businesses like that. But they don't, because most people aren't willing to risk that kind of effort.
Most other business owners aren't willing to commit to 6 months of doing the work. Instead, they'll keep doing the same things and hoping that something will magically change. As a result? They'll likely find themselves in the exact same place when July rolls around.
If you're ready to try a different approach—even if it feels scary right now—simply by working through the Freedom Fast Track curriculum each month and implementing what you learn into your business, you'll be miles ahead of everyone else in 6 months' time.
You'll also be completely supported throughout our time together, which means you can lean on me, my team and your peers inside the program whenever you need a little pep talk, a confidence boost or some help taking action.
If you join, complete your Business Audit, and attend the first two calls and don’t feel like Freedom Fast Track is the place for you to create a sustainable online business, simply email support@stephtaylor.co before 15 February 2024 and I’ll refund your purchase.
So much information in the online space focuses on teaching concepts that the algorithm loves one minute and loathes the next.
And that’s wonderful if you’re into learning niche skills or staying on top of the hottest trends.
But if your goal is to create an online business that feels like a big, warm hug and allows you to enjoy your life away from your computer screen…
You’ll need more than a set of strategies that focus just on one area of your business or that expire in just a couple of months.
Inside Freedom Fast Track, you’ll learn timeless sales and marketing principles and sound business strategies that take your whole business picture into account rather than a small snapshot.
And when you're able to think holistically about what you’re building, create space to do more of what you love whilst still earning consistently, and spend as much or as little time as you desire in your business… well, you might find yourself in the wonderful position of not always feeling like you need more courses or more trainings or more… stuff.
Freedom Fast Track is NOT for you if:
👆🏻 This is a great question to be asking.
There's no shortage of things you could invest in to grow your business—and sometimes it can be really hard to know which one is the best choice for you right now.
Here's the thing: Freedom Fast Track isn't the right fit for everybody, and I don't want you investing in something that won't get you results either.
You're brand new to business, you haven't been working with clients yet, and your main focus is just getting your first few clients through the door.
You're looking for a band-aid or a quick fix to get you to the next level in your business, and you're not willing to put in 6 months of effort to build a business that's profitable and sustainable in the long term.
You want to build an agency, a physical product business, a software business, or a brick-and-mortar store. (This program is designed for solo experts, coaches, consultants and course creators).
You're happy with the hours you work and the income your business is making right now.
Your business already feels streamlined and organised, and you know exactly where you're headed and what you need to do to get there.
You're a solo expert, coach, consultant or course creator.
You have a solid track record of getting results for your clients, and you know you're great at what you do—but you don't know how you'll hit your next-level income goals without adding more to your workload.
You're making between $5k-15k per month on average, but your income would take a big dive if you had a month off.
You don't have endless amounts of time to figure it all out yourself. You value learning from someone who has done it before, because you know it's quicker than figuring it out by trial and error.
You want to set your business up for long-term growth and profitability rather than duct-taping together a bunch of quick fixes.
Your business often feels like more of a hot mess than an *actual* operation, and constantly winging it has you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
And this is a totally valid point. Taking action is key to building a business that gives you time freedom and financial freedom. You can sit back and learn from all the courses, but until you *actually* implement what you've learned, you won't see the results.
So, if you already know what you need to do to streamline your business, free up your time, and create consistent profit from month to month—and you're confident you're going to *actually* follow through with it this year, then you can give Freedom Fast Track a skip.
The entire curriculum is set up to be action-first, with less focus on learning and more on implementing. And each month, you'll have a Get-It-Done Session in your calendar to keep you accountable. This is 2 hours of focused co-working with your peers, so you can set aside all the day-to-day distractions and have the time to implement what you've learned in the program each month.
Implemented content and marketing systems that keep you consistent, even when you don't feel like showing up.
Started delegating tasks so you can do more of the things you love and less of the things you don’t.
Traded those old feelings of overwhelm around your business for new ones of calm and excitement.
And by the time we wrap on July 26th, you'll have...
Crafted brand messaging that stands out, attracts the right people to your business and solidifies your status as an in-demand expert.
Created strategic sales messaging that sells your offers without feeling sleazy, icky or salesy.
Started building a Messaging and Content Playbook you (and your future team) can easily pull from so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you launch or promote your offers.
And by the end of March, you’ll have:
Created a 6-month action plan and total clarity on where to focus on reaching your next-level income goal and creating freedom in your business.
Set up your Business Dashboard and implemented a weekly CEO ritual to keep you motivated and accountable.
Identified how to shift your current business model into one that maximises your time freedom.
We kick off the live calls and release the first module on February 1st, which means just that a few weeks from now, you'll have...
And I'm not sure if I'll run it a second time this year. So it could be another 12 months before you have the chance to enroll in this program again.
Here's the thing: doors to Freedom Fast Track close on January 25th at 8:00 am AEST (that's the 24th if you're in the US or Europe).
If the "things" you need to do include any of the following, you're not ready for Freedom Fast Track just yet:
Finding and working with your first few clients.
Creating your very first offer to sell in your business.
Getting your first 100 subscribers onto your email list.
👆🏻 These are all great things to focus on *before* joining Freedom Fast Track, and if these are on your to-do list right now, then I look forward to welcoming you into the program next time I open enrollments.
On the other hand, if any of the "things" you need to do include these, you're a great fit for Freedom Fast Track:
Starting to set up systems and structure in your business.
Growing your audience beyond your first 100 email subscribers.
Planning and creating more offers in your business.
Creating more consistent income from month to month.
Launching your first (or next) digital offer, such as an online course or program.
Hiring a virtual assistant and starting to delegate the first few things off your plate.
Spoiler alert? These are some of the topics you'll uncover inside the Freedom Fast Track curriculum.
Yes, you could absolutely figure these all out on your own—but when you're already tight on time, why waste more time piecing it together when you could follow a simple, step-by-step process?
You'll find all of that (and more!) inside Freedom Fast Track.
Doors close on 25 Jan @ 8:00am AEST (Brisbane Time).
That's 24 Jan @ 2:00pm PST/5:00pm EST/10:00pm UK.
At this stage, we haven't planned for a second round of FFT in 2024. We *may* run another one later in the year, but we haven't locked it in yet as it depends on the timing of other programs.
It depends. If you’re working with a coach in a structured, step-by-step way to build a sustainable business that gives you more freedom, that’s awesome! Looks like you’ve got all your ducks in a row.
If, on the other hand, you’re working with a coach in more of a general support role, but you’re not clear on what you’re building toward, then this program is the perfect complement to your current coaching.
Inside Freedom Fast Track, we will break your business model apart and put it back together so your business works for you, rather than the other way around.
Yes! There is little to no overlap between this program and Launch Magic.
Where Launch Magic dives deep into using live launches to maximise sales of your online courses and programs, Freedom Fast Track is all about streamlining your business, freeing up your time, and creating consistent profit from month to month—even when you're not at your laptop.
To be clear, Launch Magic is not a prerequisite for this program. If you’re inclined, you can enroll in both at the same time and grow your business in record time. Huzzah!
Sure is! If you’ve gone through Launch Magic and you’re looking for a way to free up your time and drive consistent sales in between your live launches, you’re in the right place.
Inside Freedom Fast Track, you’ll discover how to turn your current business into one that earns profit outside of your client work or launches.
Nope. This program isn’t designed to have you burn it all down and build from scratch, but more to usher in a fresher, more aligned version of your business.
In some ways, your business will stay the same. After all, there’s no need to change the things in your business that you love.
For example, if you love working with your 1:1 clients or serving your students, excellent! We’ll help you create a business that lets you do more of that and less of the other stuff.
And in many ways, you’ll be building a very different business. One that doesn’t rely on your time as its only income-generating resource.
In other words, you’ll be dialling in what works, reworking what doesn’t, and building the foundations to shift your online business to one that works for you even when you’re offline.
Not necessarily. A big part of your first month in the program is to get clear on your new and improved business model. That includes optimising your offers, pricing, audience, messaging, and positioning to help you stand out and sell more.
So no worries if you’re still dreaming up your offer suite and ways to diversify your revenue. We’ll step you through that process from start to finish.
Nope! You may decide you want to add one as you shift your business model and get clear on your new and improved offers, but you don’t have to already have one when you join.
It depends. If you're a few years in, consistently reaching your revenue goals, and your business is running like a well-oiled machine, you can give this one a skip.
But if you’re a few years into your business and you’re still feeling like you’re in the messy middle, this program is made for you. It’ll show you step-by-step how to structure your business for more time freedom while still bringing in consistent sales so you can invite more ease into your business.
While you'll get the most hands-on support by showing up to the calls live, they're not compulsory, and you have the opportunity to submit your challenges ahead of time for Steph to answer at the start of the next coaching call. You also are free to ask questions in the Facebook Group between calls.
I know, it's a massive commitment. But here's the thing: building a sustainable business that gives you both time freedom and financial freedom requires commitment and dedication from you.
Most other business owners? They're not willing to commit to 6 months of doing the work—and, as a result, they'll likely be in the exact same place by the time July rolls around.
So just by showing up to the calls, working through the curriculum each month, leaning on the support provided in Freedom Fast Track, and implementing what you learn into your business, you'll be miles ahead of everyone else in 6 months' time.
If you’re feeling swamped right now it’s probably because your cash flow is directly tied to your time. Even if you've built out a few one-to-many offerings, you can still feel like you're on the hamster wheel of marketing and sales to get people through the door.
The good news? This program is designed to change that for good.
Because when you turn your business into an engine that hums along even when you’re offline, you won’t be spreading yourself thin anymore.
Of course, the choice is ultimately yours. But if you want to stop wearing all the hats and having to be everywhere at once in your business, now is a great time to join Freedom Fast Track.
No problem. If it’s a question we can get sorted with a simple email, send us a note at support@stephtaylor.com. We’re always happy to help.
