a hired tripod™

Status:Project to project / Around £5k months
Fig. 01

You've done £10k months. Most months you're nearer five, made up of small-budget clients who treat you like a camera operator. You're tired of chasing the next project before the last one's paid. You'd rather have fewer clients paying you more, every month, and be valued for what you actually know.

Skill isn't the problemBelief and leverage are
The way out isn't more hours
02 / The real workWhat you want / What changes it

You want freedom.
You need to back yourself.

What you came for

More money, fewer clients. Time back. Room to travel, to be present with the people you love, to build the life you keep putting off until the business calms down.

What actually gets you there

A goal that scares you, and becoming the person who hits it. We get into how you think, find where you get in your own way, and push until charging like the expert is just what you do. Then we give you the leverage to grow without hiring a team.

Rate

From £500 shoots to £5,000 a month retainers.

Booked to speak to a room of 100 of his ideal clients.
Vision

→ 100K

His monthly goal, reset in Bali. Now he's building the business that hits it.
The shift

He didn't get better at filming. He stopped thinking like a freelancer and started acting like the expert he already was. The pricing, the retainers and the stage followed.

Individual result over several years of work together. Yours depends on your work, your market and your effort.

03 / The methodThe Core Four / Scored out of ten

You can't build a thriving business on a body that's running on empty.

Day one, you score four areas out of ten. That shows us where you're bleeding energy. You can be a six in business and a three in health. Get the three to a seven and the business moves too. Business leads. The rest holds it up.

01/ 10

01

Wealth

Offers, pricing and selling. Fewer clients paying more every month. This leads.

02/ 10

02

Self

Belief. The goal that scares you, and the identity that goes with it. Where most people quietly cap themselves.

03/ 10

03

Health

Energy, training, sleep. A three here drags everything else down with it.

04/ 10

04

Relationships

The people you are doing this for. Business that costs you them was never the point.

04 / LeverageYour team, without hiring one

Scale without
the payroll.

Hiring costs money, takes months to train and gives you people to manage. Every member gets a library of working AI agents instead. Install one in a single line and it starts doing the work you've been doing at midnight. Including the content you keep not posting.

Club Locked In / The mastermind

Bali, Thailand,
wherever we go next.

For the ones going from creative founder to leader. Three to four days in a room, four times a year, plus 1:1 with Josh in between. By invitation.

Stay locked in / Ongoing

Keep the portal,
the agents and
the room.

Monthly access to the community, the library and every new agent, so the momentum doesn't stop when the 90 days do.

07 / Who's behind itJosh Pearson, founder

I've taken creatives from burning out at £5k months to their first £20k, £25k and £30k months. The work was never what held them back. It was what they believed they were allowed to charge, how big they let themselves think, and whether they backed themselves. I get into that. Then I push. And I'm locked in myself right now: four months into my own transformation, building this while moving my family to Bali.
