20 HOUR
academy
What if you had a step-by-step plan that showed how to work <20 hours/week in your business while making at least 6-figures?
And what if this plan didn't require you to ...
❌ Build & manage a massive team
❌ Constantly find new clients
❌ Add more offers to your product suite
❌ Post on social media every day
❌ Add hours of time (that you don't have) to your to-do list
❌ Work with any client that inquires about your services just to pay the bills
❌ Spend time working on weekends or vacation (you can actually unplug fully)
Honestly, I'm done watching people work SO freaking hard to build their businesses and not getting the results they want to have!
Sure, making more money is great but sacrificing your relationships and health to reach that goal isn’t!
That’s why it’s time to do things differently...
It's time to focus on building a business that works around your life and stop feeling like you have to be attached to your phone at every second of the day to respond to clients.
And that’s what I’m on a mission to help women do every single day.
Help service providers live the life they dreamed about when they had the idea to start the business in the first place!
you didn't start your business to...
🙅♀️ Work constantly
🙅♀️ Feel like an employee in someone else's business
🙅♀️ Be constantly stressed
🙅♀️ Feel like you have to be tethered to your phone or computer 24/7
🙅♀️ Not take a vacation in YEARS
🙅♀️ Make LESS money than you did at your 9-5
If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone.
But there is a better way to run your business...and I'm going to show you how!
I hate to break it to you but...
"I've had an online business for 14 years and this is the first time that I've seen my profit grow exponentially without me having to do more work and I'm working less than 10 hours/week in my business.
It's so nice to know that there's a proven process [in 20 Hour Academy] that has helped me go from spending countless hours per week to spending less than 10 and making more money."

You’ve been showing up, doing the work and you’ve gotten incredible results...
...but deep down you crave so much more.
You want to -
• Slow down! You've been hustling for years and you need a break 😥
• Stop overthinking and questioning the decisions you make 😖
• Fully TRUST your team members so you can take time away from your business without worrying about them/your clients 😣
You're serious about scaling your business & having a massive impact, but you have no clue how to turn this into a scalable business model.
...and if we're being honest, you're just really freaking overwhelmed and you just need someone to tell you what to do next!
Up until now, your life has been all about your business.
But right now you feel like you're coasting and just getting by.
Sure, things are going well in your business (you're #bookedout) but if you're being honest with yourself, your LIFE isn't great behind the scenes.
You're lucky to get a shower some days 🚿
You feel like if you STOP working your business will fall apart 💥
You want to have a larger impact on the world (because you're amazing at what you do) but right now, it seems impossible with your schedule 🫂
You know that there's an easier way to run your business but you can't figure out HOW to do it 🧐
As entrepreneurs it's easy to let our businesses take over our lives...
Your team needs you...
Your kids need you...
Your bills need to be paid...
You feel like you're being pulled in a million directions at all times!
Work/life balance..everyone wants it but FEW have actually achieved it!
I’m one of those few people who has achieved it…but it wasn’t always like this.
I used to work 80+ hour weeks...
...and today I work <10 hours/week.
Most people think I have a massive team in order to make this happen but I have 3 women supporting me who work 20 hours/week.
✨ That's a TOTAL of 30 hours/week for the ENTIRE company! ✨
But please know that this life didn’t happen on accident.
➡️ At the end of the day, it's not just about working fewer hours every day/week, it’s about how you FEEL when you’re NOT working ⬅️
As a "recovering workaholic", I had to allow myself to be comfortable with NOT working!
This means NOT adding tasks into your to-do list because you feel like you "should" be doing more...
NOT throwing money at another course because some "guru" said that you NEEDED to implement this new strategy...
NOT mindlessly scrolling on social media...
..and this level of comfort is one very important thing we're helping the women in this program achieve while they reach their revenue goals!!
Here's the truth...
Deep down, you know that your business isn't set up for the long term 🤦🏼♀️
Every day you feel like you're in 'survival mode' 🥴
You barely have time to enjoy your family/life and marketing your own business always comes last 😫
You're overwhelmed with everything that you have to do each day but you don't think there's a way to fix it 🥺
You don't have a real strategy in place to actually reach your goals 😣
apply now
YOU KNOW THAT you need help to get to the 'next level' in business...but you have no idea how to make it possible!
We'll help get you out of 'survival mode' and into 'CEO mode'!
What would it mean for you to work <20 hours every single week?
Imagine having the time to stay in your zone of genius instead of doing tasks that you dread.
Imagine being able to spend uninterrupted time with your family instead of staying up late and working weekends (again) to get that client project completed.
is the revolutionary way TO *REALISTICALLY* CREATE A BUSINESS THAT ALLOWS YOU WORK <20 HOURS EVERY WEEK WHILE MAKING AT LEAST 6-FIGURES!

Too many people are talking about reaching 6-figures but they’re not talking about what’s needed to make that happen.
I see too many women working themselves into the ground to make that elusive "6-figure dream” come true.
It's really easy to fall into this trap of overworking because I was this woman.
I worked the 80+ hour weeks for years in order to reach 6-figures.
And yes, I reached that goal but by the time I did, I resented my business and my clients.
I was missing out on time with family and friends and the cash in the bank didn't come close to matching the amount of effort that I was putting in.
When I crossed the 6-figure mark the first time, my thought was "I worked THAT hard for this?! What was the point of it all?!"
I knew there could be an easier way, so a few years ago, I created it.
I designed a business that required me to work <20 hours/week and more than tripled the amount of cash that I was bringing in.
And I've been showing other women how to do the same thing for years now.
Every time someone asks me what I do and how often I work, the response is ALWAYS the same - "Wait, HOW do you work <20 hours/week and make that much money?! It doesn't make sense!"
And I'll be working with you side-by-side to implement these secrets in 20 Hour Academy™.
Promise
If you work through all of the content and implement all of the personalized strategies, coaching and feedback that we share with you during your time in this program, you will have your business set up so you can reach 6-figures and work <20 hours each week.

WORDS

"After a few weeks of joining 20 Hour Academy™ & working with Steph, I gained so much more clarity around how to make my offers scalable! Steph's feedback and coaching on the calls and weekly critiques is helping me grow so much more quickly than if I tried to do it on my own. Plus, I signed my highest client and am making more on a monthly basis than ever!"
Heather Cook, Virtual Property Manager
"I cannot say enough good things about Steph! She has truly helped my business transform! I had all these goals and dreams, but really lacked the ability to get out of my own way when it came to putting in the work. Since working with her I've completely pivoted to an agency model and I've never felt better about it. With her help, I hired two new contractors to help me get all the things done so I can keep growing my dream."
Meredith Rines, Accountant & Bookkeeper
"Stephanie is AMAZING!! She helped me go from feeling overwhelmed and drowning in client work to building a team to offload tasks to. She has also given me clarity on how to organize the backend of my business and structure it in a way so that it can be scaled as an agency. I have added on several clients since working with her and have increased my prices. Do yourself a favor and join 20 Hour Academy™! I can honestly say that I would be lost without this! You won’t regret it and your business will be better because of Steph & her team!"
Tammy Powers, VA for Photographers
"Having Steph's guidance as someone who has walked this path before me has been incredibly valuable and helpful. It was comforting to know that I always had Steph to rely on for help with systems, strategies, clients, and more. She has not only been an incredibly hands on coach (and was always there to talk me off the ledge!), but has become a great friend, too. If you're on the fence about working with her, trust me, she's totally worth the investment (and more)!"
Kristi Bahgat, OBM for Business Coaches
"With the help of Steph and 20 Hour Academy™, I was able to sign my biggest client to date ($5K/month). I'm also working to bring on additional team members and am on track to make $15K/month while working 15 hours/week. I'm jazzed!!!"

"But Steph, I don't have time for a program right now"
I know you're working with clients.
You're running your own business.
You're trying to figure out what to post on Instagram.
You may even have a few kids to take care of.
I HAVE 2 HRS/WEEK! I WANT TO APPLY!
You're busy..trust me, I get it!
I have a toddler, no childcare, dog, husband & a multi-six figure business to run too. That's why I designed my life around my business (working 5-15 hours/week on average) and I'm helping you to do the same!
I want you to think about what you're giving up by NOT prioritizing your freedom goals.
Time with your family?
Your health?
Your sanity?
But I'm going to get real with you for a second - you prioritize the things that are IMPORTANT to you.
20 Hour Academy™ was created for all of the stressed out service providers that are SERIOUS about shifting into Confident CEOs.
In early 2022, I retired my husband from his full-time job and became the sole provider for my family as a business coach & scaling strategist.
How was I able to do this? I had to be INCREDIBLY strategic with how I set up and ran my business.
And it all starts with having the RIGHT foundational elements.
...but too many people are trying to do #allthethings instead of running a simple and strategic operation.
Today, I’m helping other women grow their own service-based businesses to 6-figures by showing them how to create a scalable company that allows them to work less than 20 hours a week!
Hey, I'm Steph!

Common Questions
This is a 12 month program, you will have 12 months access to the calls, content portal and support related to this program.
Of course, it all depends on your commitment and how you work, but you can easily implement everything in the program in 9-12 months.
Great! So many people have come to me just for advice on improving the backend systems & automating processes so they can take themselves out of their business.
I find that when clients come to me with an existing agency, we end up discovering lots of holes and things that we can tweak to make their systems more streamlined, team more engaged and clients raving about their services.
Most of my clients grew so quickly and didn't know they needed to create a scalable foundation and are working more than they thought was possible! You started your agency to work LESS and now you're working around the clock!
We'll make sure your existing agency is set up to be as productive and efficient as possible with streamlined workflows and automations so you can really scale!
