How Aaron Let Go of the Belief That His Work Was Too Abstract to Codify and Built a Six-Week Signature Process That Has Transformed 100s of People’s Lives Within Months

Aaron is a transformational coach with years of content, live events and challenges behind him, and no clear way to say what he actually took people through. He believed his work was too abstract to pin down. Inside the Category of One work he found the process underneath his teaching, named the IP he could own, and cut what was muddying the message. He has since launched SHIFT, his six-week process, and run two cohorts with over 100 people through it.

Aaron did not have an audience problem or a credibility problem. He had years of both, and client testimonials backing the radical transformation he created in people's lives. The challenge was, 

  • He had taught so many things across so many formats that he could no longer tell which parts of his process were actually producing the transformation.
  • He could not clearly state who he helped, what he helped them do, and what the result was.
  • He believed the work was abstract by nature, so the missing clarity felt like a fact about the material rather than a gap in the structure.
  • With no defined process, the work could not be handed to anyone. His team could not fully understand it, which meant they couldn’t help him properly position and sell the true value of what he was delivering.


Aaron didn’t need new material. He needed someone outside his business to find the method already sitting inside the work he had been doing for years, and to build it into something he could own, teach, and hand to his team.

Key Steps Taken:

  • We worked across his entire body of work, the overarching mission and the teachings underneath it, to surface the process he had been running all along without naming it.
  • We isolated the specific elements of that process that produce the strongest results, and cut the ones that were muddying the message and the mission.
  • We named the IP and the language he could own in his brand.
  • We built his Category of One Playbook: the process step by step, the pillars, the product catalog, and the roadmap showing how his offers sit together.


Aaron now has one clear transformational process, a six-week program called SHIFT, and a business his team can carry alongside him.

  • Launched SHIFT, his six-week process, and has run two cohorts through it
  • Over 100 people have moved through the work within a couple of months
  • A defined customer transformational journey in place of a membership filled with trainings and meditations
  • A team that understands what the business does so they know how to position and sell the transformation

Let's Build Yours

If you have been telling yourself your work is too intuitive, too nuanced, or too personal to put into a defined process, you are in good company. It is the most common thing I hear from people with real mastery, and it is almost never true.

What is true is that nobody has ever sat outside your business and pulled the method out of it. You cannot see it from in there. That is not a limitation of your work, it is a limitation of the vantage point.

The Category of One Accelerator is where that gets built. We find the process underneath everything you have already made, name the IP you can own, cut what is muddying it, and build the signature offer ecosystem around the method so your client journey is clear and easy to sell.
