But what’s the Cost of NOT Doing Anything Different This Year?

Let’s be honest: If nothing changes, nothing changes.

  • Another year of scrambling to keep up with your to-do list?

  • Wasting time on tasks that don’t move you closer to your goals?

  • Feeling overwhelmed and stuck, even though you’re working harder than ever?

The truth is, not having a system to simplify your life and focus on what matters costs you every day—in time, energy, and opportunities you can’t get back.

This year, why not invest in a program that helps you work smarter, not harder? The choice is yours, but the cost of doing nothing might be higher than you think.

Feeling Overwhelmed Doesn’t Have to Be Your Reality

If you end your day feeling busy but unfulfilled, you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been spinning your wheels, juggling too many responsibilities, and wondering why nothing seems to move forward.

You might be:

  • A music teacher overwhelmed by your workload but dreaming of launching your own studio.

  • A musician entrepreneur with incredible expertise but no clear next step.

  • An orchestra job hunter trying to balance freelancing, teaching, and audition prep.

If this resonates, join The Strategy Session to tackle these challenges and create a system that truly works for you.

“Chris takes clients from confusion and dilemma to purpose and clarity. Again and again. Chris is a breath of fresh air in a hyper-competitive industry in that he wants you to succeed.”

Matt, Percussion

"It’s hard to fully explain the positive impact of working with Chris on my life as a performer, an entrepreneur, and as a person. Taking the ‘leap of faith’ to have a coach was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made.”

Katie, Flute

FAQs

  • This program is for anyone ready to stop spinning their wheels and start working smarter.

    Whether you’re a teacher juggling too many responsibilities, a freelancer looking to reclaim your time, an entrepreneur seeking clarity on your next steps, or a musician balancing auditions and side gigs—this program will help you find focus, simplify your life, and create a strategy that works for you.

  • This program isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. It’s not for you if:

    • You’re not ready to take a deep, honest look at your habits, mindset, and priorities.

    • You’re expecting instant results without putting in the work.

    • You’re unwilling to try new systems or adapt your approach.

    The Strategy Session is about getting really, really honest with yourself—what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change to move forward. If you’re not ready to do that, this might not be the right fit for you.

  • Not at all. I’ve designed a simple, step-by-step guide to help you use this powerful tool without feeling overwhelmed.

  • No problem! All live sessions will be recorded, and you’ll have lifetime access to replays.

    Whether you miss a session or want to revisit a specific topic, the resources will always be there when you need them.
