Working names: Discipline Lab · Build Your Business Lab · TBD after discovery

A 6-week joint cohort program for small business owners running real revenue whose back office feels like it is held together with duct tape. Co-created by Gigi Carrabbia (GGenesis) and Deborah Curate (Curate Coaching Group).

6-week cohort 3-hour Saturday live sessions 10-15 owners per cohort Async coursework + homework Founder pricing $1,997
What This Is

A joint cohort. Two advisors. One transformation.

Most small business owners between $500K and $5M are running a real business with a broken back office. The owner is the master technician or chief rainmaker. The books are being handled by a spouse, a family member, or an overwhelmed office manager. The owner is the bottleneck.

This program pairs two experienced advisors on your business inside a small cohort of 10-15 owners. Gigi Carrabbia brings the operational transformation, systems, and AI-driven back office. Deborah Curate brings the identity work, the leadership coaching, and the internal shift required to actually run a business without running yourself into the ground.

You do not leave with a workbook. You leave with a back-office system, a discipline rhythm, and a peer cohort that holds you accountable so the business runs cleaner without you running it harder.

LTV Model · to be validated

Working assumption: ~$58,000 lifetime value per 10-person cohort, split 50/50 (~$29,000 each per cohort). Run 4 cohorts/year = ~$116,000 each per year from this product line. Real numbers land after Cohort 1 completes.

Current Phase

Discovery. Before Marketing.

15-20 discovery conversations are underway. Public marketing, curriculum finalization, community setup, and naming lock happen AFTER discovery data confirms the pain wedge, the launch price, the preferred fix type, and 3-5 HOT prospects ready as Founders Cohort 1.

4 GO / PIVOT / KILL criteria
  1. The single pain that comes up in 70%+ of calls (curriculum wedge)
  2. The price 50%+ of HOT prospects do not flinch at (launch price)
  3. Preferred fix type ratio: DFY vs Teach vs System
  4. 3-5 HOT prospects ready as Cohort 1 Founding Members at $1,997
