At the start of 2023 we never could have predicted that we would have shut the doors to our seven figure program and would have completely switched business models… but here we are, and we have some lessons to share with you!
Whether you’re on the verge of “burning it all to the ground”, or are just looking to add a new revenue stream to your business, you’ll definitely glean some new perspective from this episodeWe talk about:
Change is scary, especially for your team.
The less time you have to market 2 offers, the better!
Done is better than perfect.
Preselling is your best friend.
Prepare to build a new audience.
Hindsight is always 20/20, and there are always things we would do differently with the information we have now… but since we don’t have a time machine the next best thing we can do is share what we learned with you!

It has come to our attention that some of y’all think we are kidding…or even worse, you think that we’re using false urgency by saying “doors are closing” when in fact they’ll be open again soon. But that is not the case.
This is not a marketing tactic.
Our business model is changing.
The doors will be closing and NEVER reopening for the Clockwork Accelerator. This is the last time we’ll be accepting new students to work directly with us to clockwork their business.
Friday, September 29th, the doors close FOR.EV.ER. And I’m not just saying that.
For those of you who have been wanting to work with myself and my Run Like Clockwork Team to get your business clockworked, this is officially your last week to enroll!
Ready to join? Visit www.clockworkaccelerator.com and use code WOW20% for 20% off the cost of enrollment.

What would your life look like if you could take the entire summer off to RV around the country with your partner?
Does that goal feel within reach, or totally out of the realm of possibility?
For Nicole Bandes, owner of Virtual A Team, being able to take that time off was a non-negotiable. Despite owning a business that supports clients in delegation and project management, Nicole still found herself stuck in the weeds.It’s a hard truth, but even the most systems-minded people still sometimes need a framework like Clockwork to use as a jumping off point., hence why she found herself in the Accelerator, clockworking her virtual assistant business.
As of recording, Nicole was 2-weeks out from a 9-week vacation and she has lots of tips to share in this episode about how to make that your reality, too!
