YOUR LIFE. YOUR BUSINESS. ALIGNED | STARTS AT $6,000
The CEO Blueprint
A 6-Month Strategic Partnership to Launch, Rebuild, or Reinvent Your Business
If my Close the Gap program is a sprint, this program is a marathon.
Whether you’re stepping out of corporate or already running your business and dusting yourself off after a rough start, you don’t need another mindset guru or “crash course.” You need a strategic partner who helps you shoulder the load of building a business that actually works — for your goals, your energy levels, and real life.
Over 6 months, we’ll review your offers, pricing, map out better operating systems, and build a foundation to give you the freedom you wanted when you started this journey.
No more trial and error or spinning out in frustration. No more second-guessing yourself. Just smart, strategic moves and steady momentum towards your goals.
This isn’t about launching fast — it’s about launching well. And this time, you won’t be doing it alone.
YOU DON’T NEED A BUSINESS GURU. YOU NEED AN EXPERIENCED GUIDE.
“You’ve done the courses. You’ve tried the templates. You’ve bootstrapped, Googled, and white-knuckled your way through building a business that kinda works — but doesn’t feel good right now.
What you need now isn’t more advice. You need a calm, capable partner who helps you see the big picture, troubleshoot what’s not working, and move forward with a plan custom-made just for you.
The CEO Blueprint is the place where your business finally gets the structure it’s been waiting for and you get the steady support you’ve been missing.
THE CEO BLUEPRINT. A PARTNERSHIP THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Clarity, Structure,
and Support
All in One Place
Start with the Big Picture
We’ll kick things off with a full audit of what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change. You’ll define what success really looks like — and we’ll map out a plan to get you there, step by step.
Build Your Systems
+ Offers Together
We’ll refine or create your core offers, organize your business back end, and set up systems that help your business run smoother — without every decision coming down to you. You can be profitable and take a vacation!
More Support
Between Sessions
You’ll have access to me between sessions (using the messaging app Voxer) because running a business doesn’t only happen on Tuesdays at 10am. You’ll never be on your own wondering,
“What do I do next?”
Success Stories

"Kathleen helped me to level up from anxious side hustler to confident CEO! When I started working with Kathleen, I was scaling my business from a part-time side gig to a full-time job. I was confident in what I could do for my clients, but I had a hard time figuring out how to manage and plan my own business needs. Kathleen helped me to get organized, develop a clear business strategy, and create systems and processes to streamline my workflow.“

"Kathleen was extremely helpful when I transitioned from employee to owner of a small business. My career began in corporate, where there were teams and workflows for everything, so knowing that everything was on me to manage was intimidating at first. She helped me clarify what the most profitable areas of the business are and develop workflows to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Now I feel more confident that I can grow and scale the business without having to outsource too many tasks because of the increased organization and technology she introduced me to.”

“Before I started working with Kathleen, my workflow was a mess. I had sticky notes everywhere, no organized processes for clients, and zero automation….I feel much more organized now, which allows me to focus on networking with new people and simplifying client work. I definitely have the confidence now to scale and take on more clients.”

“Her business strategy knowledge and her ability to hold me accountable have kept me focused and hitting all of my timelines. Whenever I find myself stumped, she asks the right questions that quickly get me to the heart of my issue and give me clarity. I look forward to our monthly meetings because she is easy-going, fun, and professional all rolled into one person.”

“Kathleen’s approach to setting micro goals proved to be a calming strategy. Easily opening up to Kathleen, I never felt as though she was judging, only that she was genuinely invested as she ushered me towards my own success. Kathleen's business model exemplifies "how to eat an elephant". Partnering with Kathleen on my professional journey has been an amazing experience, and I am so thankful for Kathleen's kindness, humor, and above all, friendship.

REAL CLIENTS. REAL STRATEGY. REAL WINS.
From Scratch to Fully Booked
-
Stephanie Mateus, an architect and interior designer, moved to a new city with no network and a dream of starting her own business. Juggling two kids and a surprise PTO presidency, she felt discombobulated, overwhelmed, and unclear about where to go or how to get there.
-
Over six months, Kathleen walked Stephanie through the entire process of building her business from the ground up. Together, they defined her services, created systems for every phase of her client work, and implemented a marketing and networking strategy. They even began with CEO routines to tame her chaotic schedule, giving her room to think and plan like a CEO.
-
Today, Stephanie is fully booked, proactive with her time, and confident in her next steps. She’s in control of her schedule, knows how to manage her projects and networking, and feels empowered, purposeful, and capable of building the business she envisioned.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, if you want results that stick. Real change doesn’t happen in a single session. This isn’t about a quick win, it’s about shifting how you run your business for good. The six-month container gives us the time and space to move through strategy, systems, and implementation, without rushing or burning you out.
-
You’ll finally feel like you’re running your business, not constantly reacting to it. Clients often come out of this incubation period with offers that are easier to deliver with better margins, smarter systems, more confidence in their decision-making—and, most importantly, more time and energy. We’re building something sustainable here.
-
Absolutely — because this isn’t about plugging your work into someone else’s system. It’s about building a structure around your business that actually fits.
Over the years, I’ve helped launch everything from an interior design firm to a psychic coaching practice — and guided service-based pros like social media managers, copywriters, therapists, photographers, digital ad agencies, and designers toward businesses that work better for them.
If you’re a solo entrepreneur (or on your way to hiring help), and your work depends on clarity, focus, and follow-through, we can make this work for you.
No business is too niche or too messy. You bring the vision — I’ll help you shape it into something sustainable.
-
This isn’t a course or a group program. This is high-touch, personalized support. We meet weekly. You have direct access to me between sessions. You’ll never be left trying to figure it out on your own or wondering what to do next. And if life throws a curveball? We adjust, together.
-
You won’t. This isn’t about hustling harder—it’s about doing the right things at the right time. We build the plan around your life, your energy, and your real capacity. The entire point of this work is to help you stop feeling behind all the time.
-
By the end of our work together, you’ll have a clear strategy, strong systems, and the confidence to keep moving forward. Some clients feel ready to fly solo. Others choose to extend or shift into a maintenance package. Either way, you’ll leave with tools—and results—you can count on.
You Don’t Have to Build It Alone
You’ve got the vision — now let’s make sure you have the support to bring it to life. Whether you’re just starting out or building momentum, we’ll create the systems, structure, and strategy to help you grow with confidence.
