IT'S TIME TO PROMOTE YOURSELF TO CEO

Personalized mentorship to help guide you to the next level of your business through streamlined systems, efficient teams, and a growth-focused
sales & marketing strategy.

READY TO UPDATE YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION?

Scaling your business to multiple 6-figures and into 7-figures requires you to build something bigger than yourself...

Building something bigger than yourself requires you to become the CEO of your business

... and becoming the CEO of your business requires you to move into a fundamentally different role than the job of the hustling entrepreneur who got you where you are.

THE TRUTH IS...

  • The CEO does NOT build the business
They build the team and the systems that build the business. Becoming the CEO of your business means you stop hustling in the day-to-day and move into an entirely different, higher-level seat in the org chart. Creating the unique team structure your business needs will be one of the most profitable ways you can spend your time.
  • You can't grow by delegating tasks
When you just hand over the execution, you become responsible for the planning, the training, and the quality control. You need to include high-level support in the most important parts of your business — delegating to high-level experts who are responsible for guaranteeing a result.
  • Simplicity scales
If simplicity isn't built into your business NOW, you won't achieve it later, no matter how much revenue you earn. You need to balance your enthusiasm with a crystal-clear plan and resilient, scalable systems & processes that are tailored to prioritize the business you're building now AND the version you want to end up with.
  • There's no '7-figure business blueprint'
You can't climb above the plateau with the same DIY online course that got you there in the first place. And even if that were the case... Do you really want to just make some money and run? Or do you actually want to earn that money improving the lives of the people you help?

At this stage in your business, identifying your problem IS the problem... you can't fix something if you don't know it's broken.

You need to lean on coaches, colleagues, and your community to uncover your oversights & discover exactly what you have to do to make giant strides in your business.
A 6-month 1:1 and group mentorship program and mastermind experience for established online coaches, course & membership creators, and experts who want to take strategic next steps, and accelerate the growth of your online business towards 7+ figures in revenue without more anxiety, stress, and hours spent in front of the computer.
  • THIS IS NOT A COURSE OR ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL ROADMAP...
Accelerator is a custom, in-depth coaching program for high-level business owners who want to grow a million-dollar+ business (and still be good humans) through expert coaching, support & strategy and a community of peers.
THAT'S WHAT I NEED. I'M SO IN!
Accelerator is a by-application-only 6-month program and the investment is $2,500/month
(This is not a monthly membership, this is a 6-month program)
Now I only work 20 hours per week and this summer I took an entire month off and had my best sales month ever."
"When I joined Accelerator, the business was just me and I was working every single day, weekends, nights, holidays. I didn't think that it was possible to work less and still make good money. Rick helped me not only hire my team, but to train them and give them ownership. He also helped me see all the different systems and automations that I could create in my business.

PSSSSST...

Before you apply, you should know that this program, along with everything else in our business, is designed through the lens of our values.

I don't need you to think, live, or act exactly like my team or I do, but we do need to be aligned in these 5 values:
If, after reading those, you find yourself shouting a big old "HELL YES!" then Accelerator is for you.
THIS IS FOR ME. I'M SO IN!
Accelerator is a by-application-only 6-month program and the
investment is $2,500/month
(This is not a monthly membership, this is a 6-month program)
One of the things I love about Rick is that he is always changing, improving himself, and living his values.
"So one of the first conversations I had with him was about diversity and how he was making space for people who had different lived experiences. Throughout the time that I joined Accelerator, even before that, I could see that he was making really big changes in his own life, on his website, on his podcast to really embody those values. He doesn't say all these things because it's trending or what's acceptable, but he's actually putting dollars and resources and effort into living those values."

HERE'S WHAT YOU GET FROM ACCELERATOR THAT YOU WON'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE ...

that are curbing your growth

Around here we know that not all things are "limiting beliefs"

There are very real circumstances that can hinder our path towards the business we want. We know that BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and other systematically marginalized people often need to work twice as hard to see the same results as white cisgendered heterosexual individuals.
 

... and we don't count life circumstances as "excuses."

I promise to work with you to skyrocket you and your business towards profit, impact, and freedom without bypassing or discounting your lived experience.

Don't just take my word for it:

Wanted to share a small win despite this challenging month: My tiny youtube channel, a platform I spend the LEAST amount of time working on or paying attention to, is getting the MOST traction and quickest growth. 
 
You guys were right about youtube shorts! I literally don't do anything to my channel, Travis my podcast manager (former Accelerator member) takes care of all of it, and every month I see the numbers climbing up more and more! Today's video Travis just posted got over 117 views in just 2 hours. 
 
Funny thing is I am actually getting negative followers on IG (sigh). But yeah, celebrating this small win.
Such an eye opener...  I had the change to chat with one of my employees, Diana, yesterday for an hour. She was originally hired as a VA, but was quickly offered multiple promotions and she is now our Curriculum Director. She is a true unicorn and the model for which we'll do all future hiring.
 
She shared with me that she had come from a pretty traumatic workplace. When she was our job posting, she was very cautious. She didn't want to get into the same situation that she had just left. So she did a ton of sleuthing. She managed to find my OBM's blog, a LinkedIn profile from one of my other employees and an interview I did with my local TV station. Then, during the interview, my OBM shared our team values and what they mean to us. Diana said that all of the research and the way that OBM talked about our values is what sealed the deal. She said that she realized we are a company that doesn't just have values written on a document but that we actually use them to make decisions. 
 
She applied and accepted a job because of our company's core values! Lucky us! Thank you Rick for always emphasizing the importance of the core values.
So we've been experimenting with a semi-open cart model for our membership. That if someone goes to our website they can request an invite to join, and we've also been testing some webinars, an email challenge, and small promotions here and there to see what resonates the most with our teachers. 
 
At the end of June, we had just over 3,500 teachers in our membership at the end of our live launch. Today, we are closing in on 4,000 teachers as we currently have 3,920 teachers in our club!
 
It has been incredible to watch these numbers grow and all of the hard work the team has put into evergreen seing results. Without evergreen, we'd be sitting close to 3,200 members with our higher churn rate in the summer. That's a massive freaking differece!
 
#evergreenworks ❤️
Three years ago, I was working four 12-hour days back-to-back teaching kids English online so that we could travel the world. It was a tough time living on a shoestring budget, making about $30,000 a year.
 
I *never* in a million years thought we would be where we are today:
 
   • August was our highest earning month at just over $80k. This is from our program and a summit we are hosting in Denver at the end of September that I was shitting my pants about for months. I thought for sure no one would sign up. 
 
   • We hired an OBM, which was very difficult for me. Before, we had my cousin fill that role and it did not go well. It was actually holding our business back from growing. It was really, really hard to take Rick's advice and let him go because he is family. But hiring our new OBM has been the single greatest thing for our business. She knows exactly what she's doing and I don't have to worry anymore whether tasks are going to get done. 
 
In August 2021, we made $8k. If someone told me we would do $80k just 12 months later, I would have laughed in their face. Clearly, anything is possible.

BRITTANY MCBEAN

Copy & Messaging Coach
Brittany McBean is a launch strategist & conversion copywriter who specializes in anti-sleazy, ethical, craaazy high-converting copy for online course creators & educators. She believes that marketing needs to help, not harm, and that it's our responsibility to use our brands & resources to build up, magnify, and support historically and systemically marginalized people.

So what's it really like in Accelerator?

 
After I joined Accelerator, we had our first six-figure launch because of the messaging work I did with Rick.
"Prior to joining the Accelerator program, we were marketing our courses, but I was working a lot in my business, even with a team. I was already making multiple six figures and if I was going to join another mastermind, I wanted to join something where people were making at least what I was making and then some to help me stretch.

After I joined, we had our first six-figure launch because of the messaging work I did with Rick. If someone is considering joining the Accelerator, I would say you should do it. Especially if you are someone who wants to have more time freedom for the things you love to do and or if you have a family or wanna have a family."

KEENYA KELLY

 
Having someone who gives you options based on the goals and success you define for yourself is absolutely transformational
"I started my business during the pandemic to pivot completely online. I had no idea what I was doing. I think there's so much in entrepreneurship from time management to resource management to messaging to copy...it is endless. I think having someone whose done all of those things before and doesn't tell you that his way is necessarily the best way, but gives you options based on the goals and success you define for yourself is absolutely transformational and the reason why I joined the program."

GLORIA CHOU

 
Since I joined the Accelerator, I've been able to do less things while our revenue is on track to increase 40-50% this year
"Since I joined the Accelerator, I've been able to not do as many things while still generating just as much revenue. Our revenue is on track to increase 40-50% this year and I do think that is largely due to the fact that Rick has helped us stop trying to do everything. Rick has an incredible way of seeing the high-level vision. Beyond that, he puts you into a container with incredible people not just on his team but incredible people in the room. I can sincerely say this is one of the best groups of people I've been around and I truly believe that's because Rick attracts the tribe of people who are in this for all the right reasons. For me, impact is one of our biggest core values in our business. Being able to work with someone like Rick who doesn't just value that but embodies that has been an absolute game-changer."

ZACH SPUCKLER

 
The results I've gotten in my business and increased money coming in the bank has given myself a lot more hope
"I came to Rick's Accelerator with the goal of increasing my revenue and I did it by about 4 fold. It's not just hearing from Rick, but it's getting the chance to hear from other business owners and online experts in the group. It has exceeded my expectations. The results I've gotten in my business and increased money coming in the bank has given myself a lot more hope. Thank you to Rick, thank you to the team for making it possible, and thanks to everyone who has been a part of Accelerator."

KWADWO SAMPANY-KESSIE

 
Accelerator is this amazing umbrella that meets you where you are and then helps take you to the next level.
"I am now at the end of my year of Accelerator and it has been an amazing experience. I came in without having much of a community of entrepreneurs at this more successful level and have left not only with that community but the inspiration and permission to do the things that I need to grow my business. Accelerator is this amazing umbrella that meets you where you are and then helps take you to the next level."

ANNEMIE TONKEN

 
I have truly regained more peace and time in my life because of the things that I've learned and implemented into my business.
"Rick really teaches us how to create a business that we really absolutely love, that we are doing it in an ethical way, and that we are taking care of ourselves and really prioritizing our family and our friends and ourselves. Yes, my numbers have grown and we have seen more success in my business since joining Accelerator, but most importantly, I have truly regained more peace and time and in my life because of the things that I've learned and implemented into my business. I truly feel like a weight has lift been lifted off of my shoulders because I don't feel like I have to be working 24/7 in order to make something so successful in my business."

HUNTER DONIA

 
There's no trickery, secret source, or magic potion. I got on with Rick and I knew that it was gonna be the right thing
"Before I joined Accelerator, I'd been feeling like there wasn't a mastermind out there that would suit me because everyone was talking about their magic way of fixing your business. I knew that I needed a great coach and an amazing community and a safe space that I could ask my questions. I had like a lot of the other members of Accelerator listened to Rick's podcast. And there was just something that I could really relate to. It felt like Rick runs his business in a very authentic way. There's no trickery, there's no secret source or magic potion. I got on the call with Rick and I knew that straight away it was gonna be the right thing."

FAYE CORNHILL

 
I'm working 25 to 30 hours a week, and I have implemented things that have most certainly increased my revenue.
"Before I joined Accelerator, I was a little bit unmotivated in my business. I was feeling like I was at a plateau unsure of what to do next. I just really felt like I needed that guidance that I didn't have for so many different years. Since joining Accelerator, I've never been happier in my business. I'm working 25 to 30 hours a week, and I have implemented things that have most certainly increased my revenue. The biggest benefit for me is the mindset and emotional side of feeling support and like I know where I'm going. And that feeling alone is really liberating and really important for me, just enjoying my business all around."

BRENT VAARTSTRA

To become the CEO your business needs, without working more than 25 hours a week or losing your sanity –

you need to build your team and your systems.

... BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT (OR ALONE)

When you partner with a seasoned vet -
(after 50 years around the sun and 10+ years in online business, I've seen it alllll and learned a thing or two)
... and combine expert direction, and community support with the established momentum you already have, you can:
  • Empower a skilled team you can trust to strengthen your business and give you back an extra 10+ hours each week
  • Have a simple & profitable strategy aligned with the impact you want to make
  • Implement a predictable, repeatable, scalable system for earning more consistent revenue
  • Create a business that exists to support your life instead of draining you & pulling you away from it
  • Build the mental resilience required to step into the CEO role and lead the business you're building
OH HELL YES. I AM SO IN!
Accelerator is a by-application-only 6-month program and
the investment is $2,500/month 

(This is not a monthly membership, this is a 6-month program)

Accelerator IS for you if:

  • You're an Online Expert averaging a minimum of $8k-$10k a month from your online offers, but you've hit the ceiling, and you're unsure of what to do to grow your business without having to work harder.
  • You take responsibility for your own success. You're not afraid to take action and do what it takes, knowing that you've got a solid game plan and accountability systems in place.
  • You know you need to get more strategic with how you grow your business, but you're not totally sure what next steps to take.
  • You don't yet have a proven, repeatable, scalable process in place to attract new clients and customers every single month — you're leaving it to fate and hoping for the best.
  • You're committed to creating a business that positively impacts the people you serve through real-life transformations, provable promises, personal growth, and intentional generosity.
  • You KNOW that you're capable of more... more profit, more impact, and less hustle so you have time to enjoy the life of freedom you set your sights on when you first got started, even if it seems so far away.
Rick made a very clear path for us and told us exactly what we need to do step by step
"My goal by the end of Accelerator is to get down to a 20-30 hour workweek. Rick made a very clear path for us and told us exactly what we need to do step by step. After only six weeks of working with Rick, I was able to have the confidence to turn off email notifications on my phone. We had our highest profit month that equates to $74,000 in our business. I really couldn't recommend Rick's program more to any entrepreneurs who are looking to expand their business and reduce overwhelm."

SO ARE WE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU?

Accelerator is NOT for you if:

You don't have an established. online business with proven offers that's bringing in an average of at least $8K-$10k per month (some members are at the $10k month mark, some are bringing in 6-figures in revenue each month, but all are working to scale with more profit and way less hustle.) The challenges you'll face in the different levels of your journey are worlds apart — it's important we make sure we're tackling the headaches you have NOW, not the ones you'll have one day (or the ones you had yesterday.)
You aren't passionate about building your online course business, you just want to coast while working as little as possible. Not everyone wants to scale and that's totally cool. Of all the things you have to have in place in order to grow to 7-figure years, I can help with most of them, but that drive is all on you, my friend.
→ You're too busy to contribute to the rest of the members' growth. Accelerator is all about the community — it's not warm and fuzzy networking, it's a mastermind of experts who help each other hit new heights. If you don't have the time to make the most of that element, you'll never be able to make the most of the program.
You're not an action-taker, you want results to just... happen. Strategies, mindset shifts, and systems are powerful in your business IF you're the kind of person to put them to work. Not sure if you're ready to take action in your business? This probably isn't for you.
→ "Impact" isn't a core value of your business. We don't believe that our businesses are built to get us rich. The security, freedom, and wealth that comes with scaling a successful business is a goal, but it is not the only goal. Your business has the potential to reach millions of people and inside Accelerator, we help you build something bigger than yourself so you can create transformations, impact more people, give generously, and be the change you want to see in the world. If that's not a top priority for you, then there are other programs that would be better suited to your goals.
→ You're comfortable using outdated manipulation marketing practices. There are many marketing strategies that "work," but usually at a high cost to the buyer. We don't use shame, fear, or dishonesty to promote, market, or sell our products. No. Matter. What. So if you're promoting a get rich/skinny/successful/whatever quick kinda business...this isn't the place for you.
→ You're not aligned with our commitment to create a safe and inclusive community for all with zero tolerance for hate speech, tone policing, or whitewashing. Because when we know better, we do better.
→ You feel like you already have all the answers. You can only build the business of your dreams if you remain willing to try something new. If you're not coachable or open to suggestions, Accelerator will be a pointless investment.
Accelerator has been the one thing that has helped me transform my business
"Accelerator has been the one thing that has helped me transform my business into thinking that I can't be successful to I can be a successful and thriving CEO with only working five to 10 hours per week. It wouldn't have been possible without Rick and his team supporting me, guiding me and helping me change my mindset, and realizing that it is possible."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will I get with you, Rick?
How much time have you got? It's A LOT actually.
 

Our time together is planned and structured, but if you come to our calls prepared and ready to action we can take MASSIVE forward movement with hyper-specific advice and guidance.

We'll start working together 1:1 with a 90-min strategy call to clearly define & align your goals with the business you want, and then we lay out an action plan for you to chip away at as you run towards more profit, more impact, and less hustle. Then we'll continue to work together inside the group, on the 1-on-1 coaching calls, on group-coaching calls, or inside of the DMs in Circle where our community lives.

We'll tweak and tinker with your master plan until your business is firing on all cylinders.

The Accelerators who see the MOST success in our 6 months together are the ones that consistently take advantage of all of the expert-level support found inside the program.

Is Accelerator too advanced for me?
You may be saying to yourself: "I've grown pretty quickly and now I'm stuck... I don't even know where to start to reach the next level. Is Accelerator too advanced for me?"
 
Definitely (probably) not!
 

A lot of successful business owners who previously joined Accelerator still had glaring oversights (AKA opportunities) in their sales process, time management, systems and processes, or mindset.

You can solve high-level problems (even if you aren't aware of them) with coaching and support that's tailored to help you unlock your revenue potential.

Why Is Accelerator a 6-Month Program?
I've been running Accelerator for 7 years now (in some version or another) and I know that 6 months is the minimum amount of time that established course or membership creators need to see meaningful results. I also know that life "happens" so the 6-months gives you a lot of flexibility.

Lastly, if you have heard of Parkinson's Law (tasks expand to the amount of time you allow), 6-months offers a very focused and concentrated experience.
Can I Continue In Accelerator After the 6 Months?
Yep! In fact, we know you're likely to stay beyond the initial sign-up because we're so confident we can help you achieve the success you're looking for.

Most members do stay beyond their initial sign-up. And, the people who stay longer in the program get even better success. More time in Accelerator = more success.
You’re the ads guy, are you going to make my traffic convert?
No. You are :) But our FB ads coach and I will make sure you have everything you need to crush it with your paid ads to reach your traffic and your revenue goals.
 

I focus on ensuring you and your business are consistently capable of converting more of your audience.

If you really want sustainable revenue, there are no shortcuts worth taking.

You'll have my team and me in the trenches with you, helping you put everything in place.
When the 6 months are over, those systems and strategies will be built into your business instead of just living in my brain.

What kind of people are inside Accelerator? Do you cap the number?
Accelerator is full of savvy and successful online business owners like you, who are experts in their field and KNOW if they can optimize their business, they can stop leaving those extra zeros on the table.
 

This group is a safe and inclusive place for all. We strive to create a community of peers that represents the diversity of the online space while having a zero-tolerance policy for hate, discrimination, or harmful marketing practices.

The group never grows beyond our ability to provide individualized high-level support for every person. On average, we have about 30 people inside, and we've never even gotten close to not being able to deliver maximum value — we intentionally keep it small.

What happens if I take family leave from my business? Can I pause Accelerator?
We believe that, no matter how much our business and personal lives intersect, family and the people we love come FIRST. Every time. The best part of entrepreneurship is that we aren't held to the trappings of corporate life but sometimes that keeps us even more chained to our business as the stakes of stepping away are even higher.
 

The unfortunate reality is that women who take extended leave after having a baby often experience career setbacks or delays as a result of their time away from their job. It's also true that very few new dads have an opportunity to step away from their careers to focus on their family when a new baby comes into the world.

And when life happens–whether it's the birth or adoption of a new baby, or unforeseen tragedy (sudden death, illness, or injury)–the LAST thing on your mind should be your business expenses.

So if you are taking time away from your business due to a significant life event, planned or unplanned, we are more than happy to pause your Accelerator membership until you return to work.

What happens if I have a life emergency?
Unfortunately, most of us are all too aware of how quickly life can change. If you have an unforeseen emergency (sickness, injury, death, or mental health crisis) in your life, and will be taking time away from your business then I will happily pause your Accelerator membership for the time you are not actively working in or on your business.
 

It's important that we keep a life/family-first mentality in our community as that perspective is essential to our health and our success. If and when life happens, your Accelerator community will be here waiting for you when you're ready.

Hi, I'm Rick. And I like to keep it simple.

After 12 years working on online marketing strategies for large corporate businesses and getting sick of working too many hours for people who didn't understand my value or share my values, I KNEW I had enough expertise to launch my own FB ads business.
 

I aimlessly scaled that business to 7-figures in less than 4 years, but quickly realized I was STILL working too many hours & moving further and further away from the life I wanted to live.

And worse than that... both my mental health & relationships were at an all-time low.

Until my daughter was born...

Becoming a father forced me to slow down, simplify my approach, systemize my business, and focus almost exclusively on the areas I enjoyed. Doing that gave me a way to run a sustainable, million-dollar online course business & still close my laptop in time for dino-shaped fries and hamburgers with my family every night.
 

Do I slip back into my old ways sometimes? Absolutely. Anxiety and workaholism don't disappear overnight. But at the end of the day–I have a strategy for a business that creates more impact and profit, with way less hustle. Allowing me to show up for myself and my family in the ways that I want and need.

And that's what I want for YOU.

As a coach, mentor, podcast host, and leader — with thousands of successful students living lives & running businesses that they LOVE— I light up when I get to work closely with YOU to uncover the oversights & remove the mental blocks that are holding you back from success.

But I know that any community that has the potential for such massive impact also has the ability to cause profound harm. My team and I are committed to creating a culture and community that is safe for all members.

We do this through...
  • Personal and company accountability: my team and I work with a DEI coach and consultant to help us continue to evaluate our language, practices, processes, and education
  • Inviting guest leaders and experts with different lived experiences to bring their expertise to you
  • A closely monitored community with a zero-tolerance policy for hate, intolerance, and discrimination in any way
  • Creating the infrastructure, not just marketing
  • Not tone policing or bypassing our members when they're having a negative experience
  • Making VALUE-ALIGNED decisions FIRST, and ROI based decisions second
  • Using our privilege, access, and resources to fund, lift up, and provide opportunities for those who have traditionally been marginalized
So if that sounds like a place you'd enjoy growing in, we'd love to have you!
