BUILD A BUSINESS worthy of THE Authority YOU’VE Earned.
STRATEGIC ADVISORY + BUSINESS COACHING FOR ESTABLISHED COACHES, EXPERTS, AND PRACTITIONERS
Build a business that can grow beyond your calendar without sacrificing your life, your goals, or the way you actually want to work.
Turn the expertise people already pay you for into a scalable signature offer and build the positioning, marketing, and sales system that helps it sell.
You already proved your expertise can sell. Now let’s make it scalable.
Your authority era starts here
To choose your clients, work on your own terms, be there for your family, and build something you’re proud of. And for a while, it worked.
But somewhere along the way, the juice stopped being worth the squeeze.
You’re making money. But when you look at what you actually keep compared to the time, energy, and attention it takes to earn it, the math starts to feel insulting.
Some months are great. Then sales slow down, and suddenly you’re right back in sales mode: promoting harder, watching the inbox, waiting for the next payment to land.
And when revenue gets tight, you fall back on the thing you already know how to sell: your own time. Not because that’s the business you want to keep building, but because people already understand the value, and you know you can sell it.
Even if you’ve created a group program, course, membership, or other scalable offer you’d rather grow, the business keeps pulling you back toward the work that depends most on you.
And you’re not interested in making the numbers work by manufacturing urgency, making promises you can’t stand behind, or turning yourself into a salesperson you don’t even like.
So you tweak the offer. Rewrite the messaging. Try another launch. Add another strategy. Maybe something helps for a minute. But the underlying problem keeps coming back: every time you want more revenue, the business asks for more of you.
You built it for the freedom.
You didn't spend years building this business just to want to burn it all down.
Eventually, the question stops being, “How do I grow this?” and starts becoming, “Do I even want this business anymore?”
Because none of the changes seem to fix the real problem. They may help for a little while, but you keep ending up in the same place: your business still needs too much from you to make the money you want.
You're not burning out because entrepreneurship isn't for you.
You’re just tired of a business where making more money always seems to mean more work, more selling, and more of your time.
At some point, working harder stops being the answer. If the business can’t grow without asking more from you, you don’t need another quick fix.
You need to change how the business works so it can grow without needing more and more of you.
You need a business that doesn’t need more of you to grow.
You don’t need a whole new business.
Maybe your scalable offer is still harder to sell than your 1:1 work. Maybe your sales process depends on you constantly explaining the value, showing up, or closing the sale yourself. Maybe the business model that got you here still works, but only if you keep giving it more of your time.
Your life may have changed, too. You may have less time, different priorities, less capacity, or simply less patience for a business that only works when you do more.
When something feels off but you can’t see what needs to change, it’s easy to keep adding instead of fixing the issue.
More offers. More content. More funnels. More moving pieces.
Before long, the business is more complicated, but it isn’t any easier to grow. And now it’s hard to tell what’s actually helping, what’s taking more than it gives back, and what needs to change so the business can grow without asking more and more from you.
I start with the Expert behind the business.
MOST BUSINESS SUPPORT GIVES YOU ANOTHER STRATEGY TO ADD.
Before we add anything new, we look at what people already buy, what’s working well, and where growth still depends too much on you.
Maybe your 1:1 work sells, but your scalable offer doesn’t. The model that built your business did its job. Now it needs to evolve.
We decide what stays, what changes, and what will make the biggest difference without adding more offers, more moving parts, or more work.
The goal: easier sales, steadier revenue, and a business that can grow without needing more and more of you.
I start with what’s already working.
You already know how to make money with your expertise.
If you’ve been in business for a while
You’re no longer working overtime to prove your value, explain your expertise, or say exactly the right thing. The right clients already understand why you’re the person they want in their corner.
You stop convincing and start discerning. Sales calls become thoughtful conversations about fit, not performances designed to earn a yes.
You hold your price with more confidence. No discounting, unnecessary extras, or giving away more of yourself just to make the offer feel valuable.
And your marketing starts carrying more of the weight before you ever show up.
The result is a sales process that feels calmer, cleaner, and more confident.
Less chasing. Less proving. More trust, more authority, and far more dignity in the way your business makes money. That's what we'll build together.
Precise positioning that makes your expertise easier to recognize, trust, and choose.

I’m a strategic advisor and business coach with more than fifteen years of experience building and growing online coaching and expert businesses.
I got into this work because I lived it.
I spent years building a business that looked successful from the outside while running myself into the ground. At some point, I had to admit that the way I’d built it no longer fit the business I wanted to own or the season of life I was in.
Since 2019, I’ve worked with hundreds of smart, capable experts whose businesses are growing but still asking too much of them. Often, the business just hasn’t evolved with the expert behind it.
That’s the work I do now: helping you make the right changes to your offer, messaging, sales, delivery, and business model so your business can grow without needing more and more from you.
Hi, I'm Laura Schoenfeld
I’ve worked with over 500 coaches and experts to identify what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what needs to change based on their strengths, goals, capacity, and season of life.
I’m not here to hand you another formula and tell you to follow it.
I’m here to help you see the business clearly, make the right changes, and build it to support the way you want to work and grow now.
That way, the business becomes easier to sell, easier to run, and less dependent on you to keep everything moving.
That experience, combined with my clinical training and background in pattern recognition, shaped the diagnostic approach I bring to every client engagement.
"Laura just has an eye for thinking about things outside the box. She helped me look at things through the lens of the client to make sure that it was a win-win — not just for the business, but also for the client. If you are looking for a business coach and you want to make sure that you as the business owner are taken care of, front and center, as you build and scale your business, you should definitely consider investing with Laura. Don't hesitate. Just do it."
Lindsey
"I learned more and got more out of this than any other business coaching or program I've ever done. I was able to do it from a place that not only brings me joy and I love it, but it also aligns to my values and helps me stay in integrity to what I want to do in the world. To be able to tick all those boxes, I thought that would be nearly impossible."
Steph
"When I think about where I was then and where I am now, it is night and day difference. I feel so confident in my ability to just continue to work this system and see the sales that I want to see, which is such an amazing feeling. This is hands down my best year in business."
Chris
"At the beginning of this year I had so much weight of pressure and anxiety and stress about my business, just feeling like it wasn't where I wanted it to be, and I didn't have a lot of hope that it would ever be any different. Coaching with Laura completely changed all of that for me.”

Most business advice assumes everyone should sell, lead, and grow the same way. They shouldn’t.
Your CEO Type helps you see where you create the most value, how you make decisions, and which work fits you best.
The goal isn’t to remove you from the business. It’s to keep you focused on the work where your expertise matters most and build the rest on purpose, so growth doesn’t require more of your time.
