The problem

You Are the Bottleneck in Your Own Business

Most trainers, authors, and speakers believe they have to be the one in the room — that their personal delivery is the secret sauce.

That belief is costing them millions.

When your revenue depends on your presence, you've built a job — not a business. Every client you take on adds hours. Every program you sell caps at your calendar. And the moment you stop showing up, the income stops too.

why i built this

I Spent $200K Learning This the Hard Way

$200K+

Invested in courses, workshops & masterminds that didn't deliver


$0

Implementation from most of what was learned

I've been through hundreds of courses, workshops, events, and masterminds. All filled with genuinely good content. All falling short when it came to implementation. I spent well over $200,000 on these programs — and implemented very little of what I learned.

So I took a different path. I developed my own licensing and certification programs for two of my own companies and generated millions in high-margin revenue. Then I started coaching others — one-on-one — to do the same.

Not just equipping them with the knowledge. Actually supporting and holding them accountable during implementation. This approach produced significant results, every time.

The challenge: working one-on-one, I could only serve so many people. So I repackaged everything into a 6-week group cohort — The Blueprint — with an additional 4 weeks of implementation support through The Lab. More clients. A fraction of the 1-on-1 investment. The same results.

THE PROGRAM

What Is the Blueprint?

01

A Licensing & Certification Program — Fully Built

Over 6 weeks, you'll design every element of a licensable program — from your core offering and delivery model to your licensing strategy, pricing structure, and IP protection.
02

Implementation Support That Actually Gets You to Launch

The Lab adds 4 weeks of group coaching, hot seats, work reviews, and accountability after the build phase — because knowledge without implementation is just expensive entertainment.
03

Your First Licensing Client — Before You're Done

The goal isn't just to have a program. It's to have a paying client. Week 6 is dedicated to identifying your ideal licensees and getting your first YES.

the Curriculum

Six weeks to build. Four Weeks to launch

Each week includes a 90-minute live group call — teaching, coaching, and implementation — recorded for replay.

Week 01

Elevate Your Offering


Select your core offering and transform it from a standalone learning program into a complete learning solution — with prework, core delivery, and reinforcement built in.

Week 02

Select Your Strategy


Choose the right model from four licensing strategies: license to clients, to contractors who deliver on your behalf, to collaborators in adjacent markets, or to practitioners who apply your methodology on the job.

Week 03

Build Your Licensing Process


Create your unique licensing process using proven building blocks and ready-to-use templates. This is where your program becomes a system someone else can operate.

Week 04

Replicate Yourself


Develop a repeatable Train-the-Trainer process with built-in quality controls — so others can deliver your program at your standard without you in the room.

Week 05

Protect Your Brand


Secure your intellectual property with the right combination of protection tools and methods. Know exactly what to protect, how to protect it, and what to do when someone crosses the line.

Week 06

Share Your Story


Identify your ideal licensing clients, build your outreach approach, and get your first YES. You don't graduate until you know exactly who you're targeting and how to close them.

THE LAB

WEEKS 07 - 10

After the 6-week build, you move into The Launch Lab — 4 weeks of hands-on implementation support. Weekly group coaching calls, live interviews, peer hot seats, and direct feedback on your work. This is where most programs fail to deliver. We don't let that happen.

what's included

everything you need. Nothing you Don't

90-Minute Weekly Calls
Live group sessions each week combining teaching and coaching — not one or the other.
Session Recordings
Every call is recorded and available for replay. Never fall behind because of a scheduling conflict.
Templates & Tools
Plug-and-play templates for every stage of your licensing program build — no starting from scratch.
AI Agents
Custom AI agents built for licensing and certification program development — your on-demand implementation assistant.
Community Access
Discussion forums and live chat with your cohort — share ideas, get unstuck, and build relationships that outlast the program.
Work Reviews
Submit your work for direct feedback. Know when your program is truly ready — not just when you think it is.

Cohort Format

THE BLUEPRINT
A TYPICAL COURSE
A complete licensing program + first client
 
Built into the program with accountability
 
Live coaching, work reviews, hot seats
 
Weekly group calls with real deadlines
 
Based on 1-on-1 coaching that costs $30K+
 
Small group, peer learning, shared momentum
Knowledge you may or may not use
 
Left entirely on you
 
Video lectures and forum
 
Self-paced (often means never)
 
Content packaged for mass distribution
 
Typically solo, often isolating

Clients who work with Chris one-on-one pay $30,000 for this same program and methodology.

The Blueprint gives you access to the same system, the same templates, and the same implementation support — at a fraction of that investment.

who this is for

be honest with yourself

✦  You're a Great Fit If You Are…

  • A B2B trainer, author, or speaker with a proven program
  • Ready to stop trading time for money+
  • Coachable and open to direct feedback
  • Willing to do the implementation work, not just consume content
  • Confident in your IP and ready to protect it
  • Looking for a proven system, not another idea

This Isn't for You If You Are…

 

  • Selling primarily B2C
  • Just starting out with no existing program
  • A know-it-all or resistant to coaching
  • Insecure about sharing or protecting your IP
  • Passive — expecting results without doing the work
  • A lone wolf who won't engage with the cohort
