Uplevel Lab

4 weeks to blow the roof off your business potential

Attention overthinkers and professional procrastinators.

You've built something amazing. But lately, you've been stuck in the day-to-day like it's newly-set cement, unable to break through to that next level you know is possible. The ideas are there, but turning them into reality feels overwhelming.

What if in just four weeks, you could:

  • See your business through fresh eyes
  • Discover breakthrough opportunities you're currently missing
  • Walk away with a concrete 6-month roadmap to significant growth
  • Join the ranks of past participants who've launched successful courses, landed major clients, and even launched entirely new businesses

This isn't just another business workshop

The Uplevel Lab brings together a small group of just 4 ambitious business owners with our proven design thinking methodology. What makes this different? We leverage the collective intelligence of the group to see possibilities you simply can't see on your own.

Here’s what each week looks like:

Week 1: Operation Reality Check

We're taking a wrecking ball to your business blind spots! No more hiding behind "I'm still figuring it out." We'll interrogate your business like it owes us money until the real roadblocks confess themselves.

End goal: A crystal-clear problem statement that becomes your launchpad for growth.

"It feels more surmountable now that I can see everything." - Sophia

Week 2: The Great Idea Explosion

Release the brainstorm kraken! We're talking idea-palooza, thought-confetti, and creativity gone wild. We'll be passing your business vision around, letting everyone chime in. Expect some amazing things to come out.

End goal: Dozens of ideas you could pursue, stash for later, or use as a jumping off point.

"I've never gotten so many ideas from any mastermind." - Mary

Week 3: The Reality Remix

Your best ideas get friendly-but-honest feedback from people who aren't emotionally attached to your business history. Consider them your personal advisory board. No more guessing if something will work!

End goal: A validated direction that makes both your heart AND your brain say "Heck yes!"

"I felt like I was sitting with an advisory board!" - Eunice

Week 4: The Roadmap Rave

Transform your big business idea into an actual PLAN, not that vague wishlist you've been calling a strategy! We're mapping out every step between you and your business glow-up, working backwards with military precision.

End goal: A comprehensive six-month action plan that turns your vision into reality.

"Working backwards makes you peel apart where you get stuck." - Adriana

Success Stories

Course Launch

Robynne had a framework for a course but needed a launch framework. She prototyped her course before launching it. She also landed a large speaking engagement and is busy writing a book.

Getting Beyond Booked Solid

Jenny was consistently maxed out with 1:1 consulting and resume writing. She strategically planned out new service offerings, new products, and potential strategic partnerships.
Jenny Foss - Job Jenny

Recording Studio Build

Mary had a vision of starting a physical recording studio for podcasts and YouTube. She got clear on her cash pipelines, connected with two angel investors, and found an incubator space.

Finding Her Audience

Eunice didn't know which type of client to focus on. Realizing her big goal was a little TOO big, she took small steps to publish guides, build offers, and collaborate with another in her industry to shift her business.

This is for you if...

You're the business owner who knows there's more potential waiting to be unleashed. You've maxed out on DIY business planning. Your notebook is full of half-formed ideas, and you're ready to finally bring the best ones to life!

The brutal truth

Every Monday morning you wake up to the same business is another Monday you're choosing mediocrity. Your competition thanks you for your hesitation.

The cost of staying stuck isn't just lost revenue, it's the slow death of your original business vision. That fire in your belly? It's getting dimmer while you "think about it."

Curious about your facilitator?

Hi! I'm Megan, half the duo behind Fat Cap. Over the past 15 years of running my own businesses, I've used dozens of design thinking strategies to make big decisions and build out my offerings. I picked my favorite strategies for this workshop and can't wait to share them with you.

I've worn ALL the hats and run both product-based and service-based businesses, so if you've thought about it, I've probably tried it. I'm a huge fan of big, crazy ideas and minimum viable products/services.

I'm also a proud neurodivergent, so I encourage you to come as you are. This course is built with ADHD in mind and many people say it's the most comforting workshop.

FAQs

What if the other people aren't in my same field?
Down arrow

That's actually better! We've been amazed by the wealth of knowledge every participant brings to the group. And having a wide diversity in worldviews, business/personal history, and risk tolerance leads to better decision making and outcomes.

Is there homework?
Down arrow

To maximize our time together, we do ask you to do a little bit of prep work before and after the calls. Nothing more than 30 minutes of work. That being said, the momentum can be addictive and many participants start taking big steps in between the calls.

What if my challenge is more psychological? Like burnout or a fear of selling?
Down arrow

We've solved for a wide variety of challenges over the years and we've found that the Uplevel Lab can be used in conjunction with other help, such as meditation and therapy, to help you achieve the success you envision. Many times voicing our fears helps us start to tackle them and having people in the group who have gone through a similar situation or who can help you see the challenge from a new angle can prove life-changing.  

Is the Uplevel Lab a good fit for my very specific problem?

We know everyone has unique challenges so please feel free to contact us to chat. We’re always honest about whether the Uplevel Lab is the best fit.
