What’s your excite strategy?

Build clarity on your next chapter
Make more effortless income & impact
Turn your ideas into action fast

 

Vision 20/20 is a group coaching program designed for those looking to bring more excitement to their business and work.

It’s a shared journey of discovery where you get to craft an exciting new vision for your next chapter. One where you’re more intentional about your time, the clients you work with and how you make money.

With our mentorship and the support of a small group of likeminded peers from around the world, we’ll help you work towards a new vision where money and meaning meet.

 
If you do one thing in your life, join this program. Maybe you are looking to launch something new or would love clarity on how to re-think something you are currently involved with. Laurence, Carlos and Lana are fantastic people with endless valuable, empathic insight and support. Just do it.
— Joel Lawton, UK
 

Have you had enough of working for all the hours and not seeing the rewards, whether financial or otherwise? Perhaps the money is coming in, but something is missing. You’ve lost that creative spark or the work just isn’t fulfilling you in the way it did. It’s all just a bit ‘meh’.

Or maybe you’re just done selling your time for money. You’re tied to a way of working that just doesn’t suit you anymore. If any of this resonates you’re in the right place.

Since 2012 we’ve been helping entrepreneurs build a business that aligns with who they really are – where happiness leads to success, not the other way around. This program is a culmination or more than a decade’s work supporting thousands of entrepreneurs at The Happy Startup School.

Rediscover your mojo

If you’re like us a few years ago, you may have gone a little stale. Perhaps ideas don’t flow as freely or you haven’t had the time to think differently. Get a much-needed boost of energy and unleash your creative potential.

Find your sweet spot

We’ll help you achieve success on your own terms. You’ll learn our unique approach that puts happiness at the centre of your business model and frees you up to build the life and business you crave.

Craft a vision that excites you

Perhaps you had a clear vision when you started your career or launched your business, but that no longer serves you. We’ll help you to paint a picture of the future that gets you jumping out of bed and energises you each day.

Move away from selling your time

You’re done pandering to the needs of others. We’ll set you on the path to doing the work that lights you up, exploring new ways of making money that harness your expertise and experience.

Learn how to build a product

We know how hard it can be to carve out the time to work on your ideas – life gets in the way. We’ve created a safe space for you to experiment with new product ideas without fear or judgement.

Your own personal advisory board

Stop getting in your own way and second guessing yourself. Benefit from the knowledge and experience of likeminded purpose driven professionals, freelancers and founders.

I’ve learnt so much from this journey, met some really great people that I want to hug as soon as we will meet in person. But more than anything I gained a real sense of trust and confidence in taking the path of my ‘excite’ strategy. No money can pay for this gratitude.
— Farah Bouzida, France

Your guides

Vision 20/20 has been life changing. I didn’t even fully appreciate just how much I have learned, changed and grown until we graduated tearfully with a lot of love and a dash of magic last week. Lana, Laurence and Carlos have created something so incredible that it will stay with us forever. Sign up, take a chance, change the world (even if it’s just your own) and I promise you will get daily value, insights and lessons that can be applied to your entire life as well as your work.

Praise for Vision 20/20

From just some of our 140 alumni

I highly recommend this program to all entrepreneurs who want to find the “fit” and who want to make it work in every sense. Those who want to bring their work and business closer to themselves and closer to their audience. I am very grateful for being part of the program for the likeminded entrepreneurs (and now friends) that I’ve met, their great ideas and feedback and the skilled and loving mentoring of Carlos, Laurence and Lana.

Vision 20/20 is powerful sh*t. I’ve told so many people about it. This is clearing the path for so much. It’s saved me so much time and would have saved me a tonne of money had I taken in 10 years ago! It’s really powerful, so powerful.

Laurence shares more about some of those that have graduated from the program since 2020

More flow, less force

We created this program to help you craft a vision where you get to work on your own terms and plan for a future where you work smarter, not harder – creating products and services that harness your expertise and ideally make you money while you sleep.

We’re living proof that you can transform the way you work by redesigning your business or career to one that gets you back to the reasons you started it in the first place – where freedom, creativity and fun are part of the reward.

Over the last 4 years we’ve seen 140 people from more than 25 countries graduate, who are now part of our alumni network The Vision Tribe.

Starting in March 2024 a new group of 20 entrepreneurs will take the first steps towards a more meaningful future for them and their work.

If you were to join us you’ll not only be part of this cohort, but a growing community of leaders and changemakers committed to their excite strategy - and working together to make it happen.

 
I wanted a group that had diverse perspectives and experiences. A million other programs can teach you how to start a business in 6 weeks. But this is not about that. It’s deeper.

Our story

Back in 2015 we’d created a business that had served us well, but it got to the point where there was something missing.

Looking back we’d realised our original vision of creating a boutique digital studio by the sea. After doing a fair bit of soul searching we came up with the idea of The Happy Startup School and something fundamentally shifted.

Suddenly all our creative energy and excitement got channelled into that and our passion for the agency slowly died. We had something new to live for.

We closed down the agency while it was thriving to realise our dream.

Since that day more than 120,000 people now follow our blog, 5,000 people have taken our courses and we’ve hosted dozens of life-changing programs all around the world – from the wild beaches of Goa to the mountains of Oregon.

We’ve created a diverse set of revenue streams that has allowed us to break away from our old agency model where we just sold our time.

Crucially this would never have happened if it wasn’t for the support of those around us – an incredible group of likeminded entrepreneurs that gave us the confidence to make our dream happen and do the hard thing.

It was like a crowd of hearts propelling us forward.

Ever since we’ve amassed an even more rich and diverse group of mentors, teachers and peers that have inspired us, and continue to support each other to get through the tough times, and celebrate the good ones.

Together.

This is what our community is about. And this is what Vision 20/20 is about.

A unique opportunity to build your inner circle of likeminded founders that will become your inner tribe. Together you’ll get clear on your visions and bring your ideas to life – transitioning to a more purposeful way of being in business.

You’ll develop the mindset, skills and confidence to harness your wisdom and make money while you sleep. And start on the path towards your own Vision 20/20.

We hope you join us on this journey. Your future self will thank you for it.
