The Year That Changes
Everything
Next cohort
Starts March 2025
First of all, I'm calling this a Mastermind because that's what people know. But really what we've created here is what I refer to as a Collaborative Space. What's the difference you ask?
​
In a collaborative space, we come together with the intention to create something bigger than the individuals yet address the specific needs of each individual. The difference is in a collaborative space, in addition to seeking ideas and solutions that are bigger than we might find on our own, we also come together in the spirit of collaboration with a greater intention to lift everyone up from an expansive and non-competitive mindset. In a collaborative space, while our journeys may be different, it is a collaborative effort for everyone to rise.
"Rising tide lifts all boats".
​
We also recognize that as high achievers, there are many natural attributes that contribute to our success. By definition, high achievers are "ambitious, goal-focused, self-disciplined individuals, who are driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful, important goals." Yet, we also recognize that being a high achiever can introduce challenges such as self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and areas of personal growth to hold all our big ideas.
​
In High Achievers, we address the business and the person, the group and the individual.
​
​
The High Achievers 2025-2026 Includes:
-
Twice monthly two-hour group Zoom meetings including individual "spotlight" time to gain insights and feedback from your peers as well as individual coaching from me.
-
One 45-minute one-to-one coaching EVERY MONTH to work on YOUR specific objectives. This is my core strength as a coach and guaranteed to make you feel completely seen for your uniqueness and unique goals. It's fair to describe this as one-to-one coaching with a group and not the other way around.
-
In-person four-day retreat in Paris in May (Yes, Paris, France. We don't play small:) with a celebratory dinner, four days of coaching with spotlight time for each attendee, and plenty of downtime.
-
In-person four-day retreat in October at a location and time to be decided upon as a group. It will include a group dinner, four days of coaching with spotlight time for each attendee, and activities based on the decided-upon location.
-
Each retreat includes a fun activity. In Miami we did a four-hour cruise. In Palm Springs we brought in two photographers to do professional photos. In Paris, who knows? Maybe a cruise on the Seine or I have a couple of potential surprises!
-
Direct access to me for the full year via Voxer for additional one-to-one coaching and support

Prior to High Achievers I was barely treading water. Looking back, I clearly see how out of alignment I was in my business. From call one I knew deep in my bones that dramatic changes were about to begin. Within six months I broke through so many obstacles and now have a clear business direction. This group has become family – intimately connected through understanding and genuine support. Dreams are coming true!
Gayle Friend, Founder of Unrestricted Intimacy
Hello
Here's the blah, blah, blah....
I'm the author of two books, LINGO and The Self-Employed Life, host of The Self-Employed Life Podcast, a TEDx speaker (had the honor of my talk being moved to TED.com), a speaker, a former portrait photographer for affluent families, creator of National Self-Employed Day (yes, we have a National holiday in the U.S.), Founder of Self-Employed Business Institute and business coach for the self-employed. I've never had a traditional job and I've never received a paycheck from anyone.
​
But here's what I really want you to know. Why this mastermind?
​
With this mastermind, I am leaning into what I know to be true about myself, and where I know I can serve the best. While I enjoy going big and scaling, I am focusing on where I know I serve best with one-to-one coaching combined with a small, intimate group where we can go deep to create the biggest transformation.
I've received over 1000 hours of training as a coach and have been coaching others for 16 years. I became well-known as a photographer because I created deep relationships with an exclusive market. The same is at the heart of my love for one-to-one coaching. Creating the biggest transformation for clients through long-standing, authentic relationships coming from a genuine desire to serve.
​
This mastermind allows me to do what I do best in service to amazing high achievers out to create the biggest impact through what they do best.
