Service Provider to CEO
Scale up, step back, and do what you actually love
A 6-month intensive program for women with service-based businesses who are ready to put systems in place, delegate what drains them, and finally have time for the projects and passions outside their business.
Does This Sound Like You?
🥵 You're the Bottleneck
Everything in your business goes through you; client work, admin tasks, marketing, etc. You have become the ‘Chief Everything Officer’ instead of the CEO, and you feel completely trapped.
⏰ Freedom Feels Far Away
You started your business because you wanted more freedom, but now you work more hours than you did as an employee. That book you want to write? The hobby you miss? They keep getting pushed aside.
Money Stress Despite Success
You're making good money, but you still feel financially stressed. You're not sure where it's all going or if you're making smart choices about growing your business.
Growth Feels Overwhelming
You want to scale, but the thought of getting more clients or projects makes you panic. Working more hours is the exact opposite of where you
want to go.
You're successful, but you're tied down to your business. Deep down, you just want to create time and space to do other things.
The good news? There is. You just need the right systems, processes, and roadmap to get there.
Here's How We'll Transform Your Business
1) Business Bottlenecks
Problem: You’re running every single process in your business, from client work to admin tasks, and that’s keeping you stuck.
How We'll Fix it:
Uncover what is slowing down your growth
Explore where you want to be in the next 6–12 months
Outcome: You’ll stop micromanaging everything, start delegating or outsourcing, and finally have space to focus on the big-picture growth of your business.
2) Client Clarity
Problem: You're trying to help everyone and ending up with clients who don't appreciate your expertise, question your prices, and leave you feeling drained.
How We'll Fix it:
Review your customer base
Pinpoint the clients who actually fuel your growth
Learn what truly makes your best clients buy from you
Outcome: You’ll know exactly who you’re targeting and why they should choose you, making it easier to attract the right clients.
3) Marketing Mojo
Problem: You're posting, networking, and trying everything, but you're still not consistently attracting the clients you want to work with.
How We'll Fix it:
Examine your current marketing efforts
Figure out what’s actually working (and what’s not)
Hone in on the most effective marketing activities that highlight your strengths and attract the clients you want
Outcome: You’ll save time, money, and energy by ditching what doesn’t work and leaning into marketing that consistently brings in your ideal clients.
4) Money Map
Problem: You’re unsure where your money is going, or why it feels like there’s never enough left over to reinvest or to pay yourself confidently.
How We'll Fix it:
Dig into your cash flow and spot where you’re leaking money
Identify the revenue streams that will actually grow your business
Set financial goals and milestones so you can track your progress
Outcome: You’ll have clarity around where your money is coming from and going, and the confidence to grow your business.
5) Operations Overhaul
Problem: Your processes are clunky, repetitive, or outdated, and you’re wasting precious time doing things on your own or the hard way.
How We'll Fix it:
Map out your workflows
Highlight inefficiencies
Bring in tech, AI and people to make your business run smoother
Outcome: You’ll reclaim your time (and sanity) by letting tech, streamlined processes or other people handle the heavy lifting; freeing you up to focus on other pursuits.
6) Growth Gameplan
Problem: You've cleaned up your business and gained clarity, but without a clear roadmap, you risk falling back into old patterns or chasing shiny objects instead of staying focused.
How We'll Fix it:
Create your step-by-step plan for the next 6-12 months with clear goals
Figure out what you should focus on (and where you want to spend your new-found time)
Build in accountability in so you stay on track
Outcome: You'll have a clear plan that keeps you focused, so you can grow your business without losing the free time you've worked hard to create.

Meet Your Coach
Hi, I’m Nicole Troster. I know first-hand how easy it is to feel like your business is running you instead of the other way around. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help women entrepreneurs step back, breathe, and finally build companies that support the lives they want.
Over the past seven years, I’ve supported hundreds of women entrepreneurs through coaching and as the founder of YSpace ELLA, an award-winning accelerator that’s helped more than 450 women-led ventures since 2020. Along the way, I created the Strategic Scaling Method, a simple framework that takes the guesswork out of growth and helps you put systems in place that actually work.
I’m not just about strategies and spreadsheets. I care deeply about helping you feel confident, capable, and in control of your business. My goal is to show you that scaling doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your time, your sanity, or the parts of life that matter most.
Who is This For?
You are a woman with a service-based business that made at least $80,000 in sales in the last year
You are the bottleneck in every process and decision
You want to pursue projects and passions outside your business
You’re ready to invest in expert coaching and proven systems that will help you scale without burning out
You’re committed to dedicating 2–3 hours each week for 6 months to put these strategies into action and reclaim your time
