Impact Accelerator

A 1:1 coaching program that helps impact-focused leaders create a sustainable and life-giving business

Harsh truth: It’s not enough to simply be great at what you do.
Harsher truth: Ideas held by remarkably talented people die out every day.

The solution? Creating a potent and purposeful business in a way that’s aligned with your values, while allowing you to make your contribution to society… so you can deliver consistent results, have a steady flow of dream clients, and enjoy gloriously predictable cash flow.

THAT’S WHAT IMPACT ACCELERATOR IS HERE FOR—TO HELP VISIONARY LEADERS TAKE A STAND, PLOT A CLEAR AND ACTIONABLE GROWTH STRATEGY, LOCK IN A SIMPLE & SOLID BUSINESS MODEL, AND CREATE A LIFE AND BUSINESS THAT FEEDS YOUR SOUL.

Because you realize that your work isn’t just business. It’s your vehicle for changing the world. It’s your legacy, your contribution to humanity, your source of excitement and energy.

And that’s an IMPORTANT job!

The Impact Accelerator program is your answer if…

  • You’re feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next
  • You’re making less than $10k per month and struggling to gain traction and create consistent revenue
  • You constantly feel overwhelmed by all the things you should be doing and yet it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done
  • You feel like you’re always reinventing the wheel
  • You never have time to slow down and improve your products or process because you’re always frantically hustling after that next client
  • Your revenue is month-to-month and that’s stressful as hell
  • The thought of “selling” creates anxiety and makes you want to crawl into a hole
  • You don’t have a simple and solid flagship offer – that irresistible thing you’re KNOWN for

AND IF I KNOW YOU LIKE I THINK I DO, I’M BETTING YOU…

  • Want to be known for your deepest GIFTS by the people who are ready to pay you for them,
  • Want to stop messing with busy work and KNOW that you’re making the RIGHT moves in the RIGHT order,
  • Want to reach your dream clients and opportunities by being a generous (and strategic) human,
  • Never again want to overthink your offers, pricing, marketing or anything else,
  • Want to sell your offers easily and in a way that builds deep trust,
  • Want to operate with 100% integrity which means aligning with a business model that serves YOU (and letting go of whatever doesn’t),
  • Are dedicated to building a business that’s rooted in your values, your purpose, and your vision.

IMPACT ACCELERATOR IS LASER-FOCUSED ON GIVING YOU THE CLARITY AND FOCUS YOU NEED TO BUILD A THRIVING BUSINESS FOR THE MODERN WORLD. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:

Six months of exclusive, private 1:1 coaching support.

This is the very heart of Impact Accelerator. We’ll implement 9 focus areas of the Impact Accelerator Methodology and systematically lay the foundation for having a simple and predictable business that feeds your soul and gets you paid.

Support between calls.

This is exactly what it sounds like – as needed check-ins or mini-coaching sessions to celebrate wins, get unstuck, or brainstorm an idea between regular coaching sessions.

A half-day kickoff accelerator.

We’ll kick start your coaching experience by sharpening your unique vision while exploring what Intelligent Business Design looks like for you. We’ll assess your skills, experience and creative assets while determining the simplest and most high-leverage way for you to make the impact you desire.

Personal introductions to Michael’s private network.

I know that you’ll be better off by knowing some of the incredible people in my network so I make it a priority to introduce you to some of my VIP connections. This is intended to support the growth and evolution of your business network through well-timed and strategic connections.

Implementation of a 90-day planning & execution process.

Results don’t happen by accident and this is where we’ll map out a simple and clear action plan for your business. We’ll set your most important objectives for the coming 90-days and then we’ll create monthly mini-plans to give you a dashboard for executing at a high level. This process will allow you to create tremendous momentum from a place of focus, ease and confidence.

Mental Fitness.

Mental Fitness is the X-factor for entrepreneurs. If you’re not mentally fit, you’ll experience constant stress, anxiety, frustration or overwhelm as you navigate the entrepreneurial journey. We’ll apply principles and tools designed to improve your mental fitness and increase your resilience significantly over the duration of the Impact Accelerator coaching program.

Investment: $10,000 or pay in monthly installments

“Under Michael’s coaching wing, I launched my Mindfulness Coaching business (and landed my first 6 month contract with a CEO client!). Truly, his stewardship during my growth period as an entrepreneur and coach made a world of difference and helped me step into this new field (and STAY there even through challenging times!) with a sense of trust, confidence, excitement and commitment to service driving me. His coaching is a game-changer. Period.”

“As an entrepreneur for more than 17 years, I’ve built and pursued countless business opportunities. What was missing in many of these successful and failed ventures was true alignment for me, my purpose, and my contribution. As a result of working with Michael, I have made a full pivot away from a business where I was misaligned and I have created a business that is fully aligned with who I am and how I want to make a difference. My relationship with Michael is so much more than coaching. I feel like I have a true partner in my business and a trusted friend who enriches my life.”

“When I started working with Michael I was a 100% freelance project manager. I had been living on the financial roller coaster with highs and lows, feast or famine. My big dream was to create a retreat space and I knew that I needed help carving out time to make this a reality. Michael helped me get focused and gain the confidence I needed to balance project work with moving my big idea forward. Great news! I just purchased 5.5 acres and I get to work in my zone of genius everyday. And the roller coaster of finances has become a steady stream of plenty.”

– Denise Ransome

“Michael Knouse is amazing! Whether you know the next step to take, or you have no idea how to create something better, you need to have Michael Knouse in your life. Michael is not only an amazing person, he is an outstanding resource for anyone looking to build their confidence around their professional direction.  Michael guided me through practical exercises that took fledgling ideas and cultivated them into my first entrepreneurial venture. I wouldn’t have done it without him. If you want results, he’s the one.  Hands down.”

“…figuring out what I truly wanted energized me to do the work I needed to do, but to also move forward on my number one heart’s desire and to create a solid business plan based on my passion and life’s purpose.”

“I would definitely encourage you to work with Michael. He will help you see your full potential and hold a higher vision for you and your business. And as a business owner, you need someone who’s got your back.”

– Danielle Ewalt
Business Strategist and Consultant

“Michael’s coaching will help you develop a business that is truly meaningful to you. Being in business for yourself can be lonely but Michael helped me through all the ups and downs. 

Deep down, I knew that it was possible for me to build a business, however I had no idea how long it would take or what specific actions should be done, and in what order. Now I have a clear picture about how I will reach my goals and I know exactly what to do next. In fact, I have a roadmap that gives me more confidence and has saved me so much time.

And the most important thing for me was the traction I was able to gain so quickly. I highly recommend Michael’s coaching. I doubt there’s anything else comparable out there.”
