The Proof? It's in the Progress.

"I can say unequivocally that IndeCollective is the best investment I’ve made in myself in more than a decade. Thanks to the curriculum and support I received from my peers and mentors, I’ve not only doubled my revenue in the last year, but also streamlined my sales and backoffice, saving nearly eight hours a week. If you have a bigger ambition for your business and life, IndeCollective is a ‘must do now’ investment."

Claudia launched her consultancy with a clear goal: replace her executive income in fewer hours. Using IndeCollective’s playbooks, she doubled her COO salary while working ~25 hours a week. She also co-founded a second company, Starling Training, and has earned more than $100K in referrals from IndeCollective peers—all while prioritizing passion projects and balance.

Ten years into running his independent legal practice, Kyle joined IndeCollective to unlock the next level of growth—and doubled his revenue within two years, while freeing up valuable time.

"I’ve been an independent consultant for more than four years.

After freelancing for eight months post-layoff, Emily saw the opportunity to take her early momentum and build something more intentional. Through IndeCollective, she gained the confidence and structure to formalize her business, Next Wave Marketing, and start treating her own practice like a top client.

"I have been in corporate leadership roles for two decades, but now I am building my portfolio career as an independent board director.

With this well-rounded support, I have positioned myself onto several new boards where I can focus on impact-oriented changes.”

After founding two successful schools, Brad faced burnout and financial uncertainty when his last venture closed. Through IndeCollective, he rebuilt—learning how to productize and price his services, secure clients, and grow his business with confidence. He now generates over $350K in revenue – 3x what he previously did as an educator – and, most importantly, went from attending just 2 of his son’s baseball games to 26 in one season.

Two years into building her fractional CFO and operations advisory practice, Ashley thought she didn’t need IndeCollective—until she realized she was spending all her time working in her clients’ businesses instead of on her own. Through IndeCollective, she clarified her pitch, refined her pricing, and created the space to think about scale. Today, Ripcord Consulting is thriving—she’s grown revenue 40–50% year-over-year, hired subcontractors, and reclaimed valuable time with her family.

Just a few months into launching her marketing agency, Jasz joined IndeCollective to move from “doing everything for everyone” to running a focused, scalable business. She used the program to productize her services, shift to value-based pricing, and design a business that supports both her income goals and quality of life. By the time she graduated, 40% of her client roster had come from IndeCollective referrals—and her business has grown exponentially since.

Reed joined IndeCollective just as he launched his consulting business—and used the playbooks to immediately clarify his brand, ideal clients, and pricing. In the two years since graduating, he’s built a 7-figure transformation consultancy and even launched an investment arm of his business. He credits his freedom, financial gains, and consistent enthusiasm to the clarity, community, and confidence IndeCollective provided.

Lola joined IndeCollective after years in senior marketing roles—ready to build a business around her expertise and values. With support from the program’s mentors and her (A)Team, she productized, priced, and launched her signature offering, “Maximize the Movement.” Since then, she’s expanded her impact and income while staying in her zone of genius. She credits IndeCollective with helping her find the clarity, community, and strategic runway to grow on purpose.

"While I have an MBA, I consider IndeCollective as the modern executive's MBA for entrepreneurs. As a corporate executive turned solopreneur, I learned very quickly that my corp expertise would only get me so far — especially when it came to bootstrapping my business. Through the experience, I gained relevant playbooks, insightful productization tips and seasoned accountability partners. Every engagement provided an epiphany moment, with an eye on how to grow my business at my speed.”

A few years into running a successful solo practice, Gaby hit her first real slowdown—and realized she’d spent years investing in her craft, but not in building the business behind it. As a professional learning designer, she immediately appreciated the depth and design of IndeCollective’s program. With guidance from her (A)Team and focused work on her ideal client and productized offering, she emerged with the clarity, confidence, and structure to lead with a scalable service she loves. Today, she’s built a sustainable pipeline of aligned clients—and a business that feels as good as the work she delivers.

As a veteran software engineer, Jack came to IndeCollective to be more strategic with his time, grow his client base, and build a business aligned with his values. The program helped him clarify his ideal clients—mission-driven startups tackling climate and social challenges—and inspired him to codify his approach through systems and playbooks. With renewed purpose and a growing team, Jack doubled his revenue in six months and now shows up to client work with more clarity, confidence, and impact.

Despite 17 years in sales, Allison found herself overwhelmed early in her solo journey—cycling between group programs that felt too shallow and client work that felt too consuming. Through IndeCollective’s productization playbook, she found her sweet spot: a flexible yet repeatable “Sales Playbook” offering that unlocked efficiency, clarity, and profitability. The year she implemented it, her revenue jumped 60% while her workload decreased—and she’s now setting her sights on a well-earned sabbatical.

When Alyssa left her corporate job, she didn’t have a formal business plan—just a vision for more freedom and fulfillment. She credits IndeCollective with giving her the foundation, focus, and peer support to bring that vision to life. In just a few years, she’s doubled her income, works only with mission-aligned clients, and shuts her laptop by 3pm to be present when her daughter gets home from school. IndeCollective helped Alyssa turn uncertainty into clarity—and design a business that truly works for her life.

After several years of running his own business, Larnell joined IndeCollective ready to unlock greater impact and build more scalable income. With support from the community and playbooks, he transformed a 1:1 coaching model into a sponsor-supported event series—Career Day for the Soul—which has since been hosted with partners like Microsoft, IBM, and Barclays. By embracing productization, value-based pricing, and strategic collaboration, he’s grown his business while creating more space for life, love, and play. He’s also teamed up with over half a dozen IndeCollective peers to co-deliver client engagements and scale together.

"6 months ago I left what I thought was my dream job. It wasn’t. I was mentally drained, overwhelmed, and frankly not using the skills I am best at. I'd always thought that freelancing was an in-between job. Something you do when you don’t know what to do. But deep down I loved it and thrived in it, so I decided to nurture that in-between profession and invest in my career as an independent consultant by joining IndeCollective where I learned how to effectively use value-based pricing (over hourly), niche down on my positioning, and connect with my ideal clients. Now, 6 months into building my strategy consultancy, I have increased my annual income x5 (seriously!), worked with clients I ABSOLUTELY FRICKIN' LOVE, and hired my first team member so the business can be productive while I take time to do non-work things that help avoid burnout. If you’re interested in pivoting to freelance work or growing your freelance business to meet your income and lifestyle goals, I cannot recommend IndeCollective enough.”

"I wish I had IndeCollective when I started my business four years ago, but I'm thrilled to have it now! The curriculum provides comprehensive coverage of the topics anyone needs to understand to start and build their own business. Because of IndeCollective, I have made structural changes to how I package my offerings and how I do my proposals. I have also deepened and improved my marketing in a way that feels authentic to me. Having my (A) Team group of six people who are in similar life stages of their businesses is a fantastic benefit for me because it gives me people to talk with about business challenges who have gone through the same thing. As an independent business owner, it is really nice to also have a team!"

When Kinsey joined IndeCollective, she was a few years into building her independent marketing practice—but the long hours and nonstop pace weren’t sustainable. She credits the 10-week program—and the community it unlocked—with helping her redesign her business around the life she actually wanted. Today, she’s outpacing last year’s income, has deeper client relationships, and finally has the space to pursue passion projects and long-neglected hobbies. IndeCollective helped her trade constant hustle for clarity—and build a business that truly supports her best self.

Mark describes IndeCollective as the business-building equivalent of a great book—one that forever changes how you think. As he launched and refined his consultancy, the community gave him a trusted space to ideate, test ideas, and validate his model. He continues to apply the playbooks on pricing, ideal client profiles, and startup best practices to every aspect of his work—and credits the program with helping him think more strategically, act more confidently, and see around corners as he grows.

When Shannon joined IndeCollective, she was two years into her coaching practice—doing meaningful work but seeking a more intentional relationship with her business. With the support of IndeCollective’s far-ahead mentors, Shannon built systems that felt authentic, clarified her pricing, and established a predictable sales model. Within a year, she matched her former program director salary while working just 15 hours a week and taking July off entirely. And by continuing to walk the path of productization, she’s been able to launch various group coaching programs that have allowed her to double her income, without greatly increasing her hours worked.

“A year and a half ago, my business partner and I launched our own independent consultancy, the Renegade Consulting Collective. This year, we wanted to invest in taking our business to the next level. Through IndeCollective, we were able to access practical playbooks, work with sector-leading mentors, and connect with a supportive group of peers running their own independent businesses. Personally, I learned an incredible amount about how I can shift my own business from a one-to-one model to a one-to-many model and even launched a client offering focused on philanthropic advising for high net worth individuals. My partner, Derek Robinson, and I earned our MBAs from Stanford and Wharton respectively, but IndeCollective has absolutely helped us grow our business in very real ways we didn't learn in business school. Without IndeCollective, we’d still be trading time for money — no question.”

"If you are an independent business owner (consultant, coach, agency owner), IndeCollective is a must! No one teaches you how to be in business for yourself like IndeCollective - it IS the modern MBA. Not only do you learn from seven and eight-figure business owners, you're doing it alongside 150 others who are in the arena -- people who are building their own independent businesses and with whom you'll no doubt trade referrals, collaborate on projects, and use each other's services. If you're ready to grow your impact and income this year, don't wait -- join the next IndeCollective Cohort. And please feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn and I’ll share how IndeCollective has helped me take my independent practice to the next level. ”

After a career pivot and a period of exploration, Sandhya joined IndeCollective to turn her passion for coaching and workshops into a purpose-driven business. The program helped her clarify her vision, align her business with her lifestyle goals, and stop saying “yes” to everything. By productizing her services and focusing on the clients she impacts most, she now runs a values-aligned business that supports her wellbeing, energizes her work, and gives her the confidence to lead with intention.

"I've made more smart upgrades to my consultancy in the last ten-weeks of working with IndeCollective than I did in the previous three years since starting my business. IndeCollective’s curriculum is rich and eminently practical, covering all the essentials needed to start or improve as an independent consultant or a boutique firm. Still, the differential factor is the relationship-building with your IndeCollective cohort -- a group of hand selected independents, who build business together -- as well as relationships you forge with your (A)Team -- a personal advisory board of six -- who help you to answer the tough questions and then shift into action as you take your business to the next level. For those serious about building business on their terms, IndeCollective is a must."

"I joined IndeCollective to access best practices for scaling and selling my business services. But I’ve come out of it with so much more—new friends, new clients, and a sense of belonging. I’m amazed at how much value I’ve found in joining a community of like-minded people who understand the challenges—and joys—of owning your own business. I’ve gained insights, tools, and perhaps most importantly, a great deal of inspiration to hone and grow my business.”

Catherine joined IndeCollective seeking clarity and a scalable path forward for her coaching business. During the program, she streamlined and unified her offerings into a signature program—one she successfully launched while in her 10-Week Bootcamp. By simplifying her model and reconnecting with her audience, she built a business that’s both purpose-driven and sustainable. She credits IndeCollective as the best investment she’s made in her business and herself.

"I’m three years into building my consulting practice, Palais Impact Advisors. We’ve made great progress, no question, but now thanks to IndeCollective, I have confidence in the questions I need to ask and resources I need to access — this quarter, next quarter, and a year from now — in order to continue growing my consultancy. Just as important, I now have a community and a personal board of advisors to support me as I navigate my next stages of growth.”

As he prepared to leave his agency role, Miles knew how to deliver great work—but needed a system to consistently find and close clients. Through IndeCollective, he tapped into expert playbooks, a supportive community, and mindset coaching that helped him make the leap with confidence. Just months after going independent, he more than doubled his income and booked out the rest of his year—on track to triple it. He credits the experience with helping him grow both as a business owner and as a person.

"After I had my two beautiful kids, I decided to become a full-time parent for the first few years of their lives. However, thanks to IndeCollective, I found a path to step back into the world of work -- but this time, on my terms. Through their launchpad program, I received step-by-step guidance from expert mentors and a tailor made curriculum, which helped me translate my skills as a media executive into productized, marketable consulting services. What's more, through IndeCollective's community, I found my tribe -- other like-minded creators, who took a real interest in my vision and goals, and championed me as I took the next right steps on my independent path.”

"I consider myself a community builder — I love organizing conferences and groups of like-minded, high potential people for networking and business development. As an alum of IndeCollective, I’ll say it is one of the most impactful communities I’ve ever been a part of. If you’re looking for the right network + education to help you grow your independent business — go no further, IndeCollective is it.”

"Coming into year four as an independent consultant, I was ready for a refresh. IndeCollective came at the right time to help me do just that. Through a mix of accomplished speakers, practical tools, and inspiring peers, I was able to refine my vision for this next chapter of my business and shore up the systems needed to grow while doing more of the work that truly fires me up. I'm only a couple weeks out from the program, but know that I'm on a different trajectory as a result of my time with IndeCollective.”

As a part-time content creator and blogger, Katie joined IndeCollective unsure if it would apply to her world. But through the Ideal Client Profile and Value-Based Pricing workshops, she uncovered a major opportunity in her niche, built a product to serve it, and priced it with confidence. With support from her A-Team and the decision to outsource what wasn’t her zone of genius, she doubled her digital product revenue in just three days. Katie now recommends IndeCollective to anyone building a business—full-time or not—who wants to work smarter, not harder.

"When designers, strategists, copywriters, developers and other creatives go independent — for a while, the only thing we think about is how to manage the client pipeline and deliver great work. But several years in, you start wondering: "Should I hire more people? Should I start an agency? Maybe it's time to build that app I've been thinking of?"... and this is where many people pull the trigger on all the above or return to school for a full-time MBA. Last year, however, I was fortunate to be introduced to a 10-week cohort-based program for leading independents -- a true paradigm shift that beats all the scenarios I outlined above. It teaches you to expand your perception of what you offer your clients, rethink the way you package and price your services, while matching you to a team of other independents, whom you learn alongside and build business and life with. The program is IndeCollective, a "Freelance MBA" of sorts, but without the suffocating price tag.”

"One of the most compelling and truly special elements of the IndeCollective experience is the (A)Team — a curated group of six peers, with whom you’re matched based on your adjacent, yet non-competitive professional goals. I genuinely look forward to our Monday evening (A)Team meetings. They’re an opportunity to get real-time feedback on a burning challenge I'm facing; to support my peers and flex my problem-solving skills to help others; and share a laugh, a bit of good or bad news, and simply to connect with a group of impressive people who now know my goals and are invested in my success. In a few short weeks, my (A)Team has morphed into my personal board of advisors. This is a group I will stay in touch with for years to come and a container that I believe so many of us crave.”

“IndeCollective’s expert network and platform are truly exceptional. The content, workshops, and candid discussions with experienced solo practitioners and agency leaders gave me exactly what I needed: real-world insights, actionable playbooks, and a supportive community that ‘gets it.’ With their guidance, I was able to productize my services, clarify my value, and proactively market my offering with greater confidence. I’ve since expanded my consultancy, grown my client base, and built a business that reflects both my expertise and ambition. IndeCollective has been a total game-changer for my growth.”

“A year ago, I couldn’t have confidently told you what my studio stood for. I was taking whatever work came my way, underpricing, and saying yes to too much—leaving money on the table and constantly overwhelmed. IndeCollective changed everything. It gave me the tools and support to clarify my positioning, productize my services, and build a website that reflects where my studio is now—and where I want to take it. For the first time, clients are finding me. I now have the confidence to choose the right-fit projects, price my work fairly, and walk away when it’s not aligned. IndeCollective helped me move from reactive to intentional—and I’m so excited for what’s next. If you’re feeling lost, stuck, or ready for the next level, this is the program you’ve been looking for.”
