5 Elements Of a Freedom-Centered Expert Business

And today, I welcome you to the 1st ever edition of my rebranded newsletter, The Essentialist CEO.

As I was redesigning my ecosystem, I thought hard about one big question:

“What’s the core promise of my new newsletter?”

I needed something that’ll do justice to the new brand philosophy.

After a LOT of thinking (and a LOT of failed 1st drafts), I finally got the words that filled me with excitement!

(I wrote this in my diary)

Most entrepreneurs build businesses that slowly erode their authentic selves and dream lives. So even though they are “successful”, they never unlock the “freedom” that they desired when they started.

This is where you, The Essentialist CEO is different. You're both the Chief Executive Officer of your business AND the Chief Experience Officer of your life. And you build a business centered around your life (not the other way around)

The Essentialist CEO (my newsletter) is my weekly GPS to help you navigate your path to become an Essentialist CEO. So your business becomes the vehicle for your most authentic life.

And today, in this 1st edition of The Essentialist CEO, I’m going to break down the Essentialist CEO’s model for building your business.

  • How you transform your expertise into a real business

  • And how do you do it in a way where it doesn’t become a prison for you!

After 10+ years into entrepreneurship, coaching 100s of entrepreneurs, collaborating with dozens of experts, and reading every damn entrepreneurial book I could find, I’ve uncovered the 5 key elements that you need to master in order to build a high-impact, stupidly profitable, and predictable business.

Master any 1 and you’ll see SIGNIFICANT progress.

Master all 5 and you’ll be living THE DREAM.

Let’s go over them one by one.

Note: Each element represents a particular principle, priority or goal. It’s not a rigid dogma you must follow or a cookie cutter template you must adhere to. It’s not a prescription, but a guide. The ultimate goal is that you take the overarching concept and find a way to make it beautifully, uniquely, authentically YOURS.

I focus my work on teaching you the structure of each element and then giving you guidance on how to apply it to your goals, your business, your life.

Element 1: Your Authentic Expert Authority

Objective → Stop competing on price. You are premium & the market respects it.

The first element is all about clarity.

  • Who do you serve specifically

  • What situation are they in

  • What problems you help them solve

  • What outcomes does it unlock for them

Most consultants operate with the “let me try to help anyone and everyone” mindset. There’s no differentiation. As a result, they compete hard on price and stay under-appreciated.

All because they never learn the essential skill of saying “NO”.

When you become specific about who you help, get clear on the specific outcome you deliver for them, and focus ALL your efforts on becoming THE BEST person to help them, you start unlocking the power of element 1.

This is the core. Everything else flows from this foundation.

If you’re struggling in your business, ensure you master this first. Nailing Element 1 makes all other elements a LOT easier!

Element 2: Attract Dream Clients On Autopilot

Objective → Predictable client acquisition. No more feast or famine cycles

This element is the toughest in terms of HARD skills.

Many pieces need to work together:

  • LinkedIn

  • Outreach

  • Free consulting

  • Booking sales Calls

  • Designing sales Calls

  • Offer docs

If this seems overwhelming, don’t worry. You don’t need to be PERFECT at this to start seeing success. Even I don’t have EVERYTHING dialed down in the elements.

As the CEO of your business, your job is to slowly but steadily invest time into building these pieces. In fact, I’ve seen it over and over again that chipping away at everything that goes into this element will, over time, yield compounding effects.

At first, it’ll be painful. Imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and resistance WILL show up. But if you keep putting in the reps, they’ll all go away.

And the leads will start flowing (I promise you!).

Not surprisingly, we spend a LOT of time in our community getting this right.

Element 3: Repeatably Deliver Premium Experiences

Objective → Deliver premium results & transformations consistently

What happens when a client decides to trust you and says YES.

  • What’s your onboarding flow

  • What information do you ask for

  • How do you manage the project

  • How do you track results

  • What’s the meeting frequency

  • When and how do you ask for testimonials and referrals

Elements 3 is about ensuring we deliver an experience that showcases the true value of working with you. Your confidence and clarity rub off on them. And they start believing that YES, they can achieve the results.

From the very first step, your brand is being evaluated.

And if we want to be establish a premium authority, we create an experience SO AMAZING that they can’t help but talk about us!

That’s the goal.

Element 4: Systematically Engineer Your Freedom

Objective → Operate like a CEO. Think strategically, not reactively.

Life as a mediocre consultant is painful.

2 clients with different personas and requirements. Every week, you are thinking about what work needs to be done. And you need to do all of it yourself (since it’s the first time). Leaving you almost NO time to focus on element 2- your lead generation.

That’s NOT the life we signed up for, right?

We want to play the CEO game, not the freelancer game.

As the CEO, you run a business where:

  • You focus on ONE customer persona getting ONE transformation

  • With every client, you perfect your workflows

  • You build assets and systems

  • You manage & optimize your financials

  • And when the time’s right, you outsource

Element 4 is about working ON the business so you become more productive working IN the business. Remember: You are a CEO, not a freelancer.

Element 5: Embody An Unshakeable CEO

Objective → Master the mindset, energy, and identity that make everything else possible

A brutal reality I’ve learned after years of being in business:

You can have the best strategy in the world, but if you don't have the mindset, energy management, and CEO identity to execute consistently, the strategy alone won't work.

If I could, I would shout this from the freaking rooftops. It is THE area that I see struggling entrepreneurs want to skip over. And yet, time and time again, it is THE blocker to their growth.

Which is my, this element deserves a separate place.

Entrepreneurship is the true vehicle for radical personal growth. It tests you in SO MANY different ways:

  • Energy management: Do you consistently give time to your business

  • Future-you decision making: How do you make tough choices

  • Limiting belief work: Do you identify what’s holding you back

  • Habits & Systems: Do you remove dependence on willpower

  • Dealing with lows: Do you bounce back from the trenches

  • Alignment tracking: How quickly can you notice when you’re off track

If every other element remains the same, but you master this, you’ll see SIGNIFICANT progress in terms of actions you take every day.

And if you keep taking the right action, the results are bound to follow.

That’s it!

Together, these 5 elements make a powerful cocktail of skills that don’t just give you superpowers, they give you the confidence, freedom, and structure to build a business wildly profitable business that you’re also really freaking proud of.

This framework is SO STRONG that I rebuilt my entire community around these elements. And I spent HOURS mapping out an EXTREMELY POWERFUL self-evaluation assessment tool around them.

For each pillar:

  • What does BAD look like

  • What does AVERAGE look like

  • What does GOOD look like

This is a lethal weapon.

And for the 1st time (and probably only time) ever, I’m giving away these secrets FOR FREE.

I’m hosting a webinar named: ”Your Fastest Path to $10k+ Months

We’ll go DEEP into all of the 5 elements. By the end, you’ll be able to CLEARLY say:

  • This is where I am

  • This is what I need to work on first

So don’t miss this. Go grab your spot on the webinar NOW.

I promise this will change everything.

In love & growth,
Kasey

PS- Last time I ran this workshop, I charged $100 for it. And one of the attendees replied saying, “This was so valuable that you could’ve charged 10x for it”.

If you are stuck below $10k+ months, please join. It free. But you’ll walk away with a painful level of clarity.

I’ll make sure you do!
