Your Creative Business Can’t Afford to Stand Still. It’s Your Turn to Break Through and Thrive.
The Growth Capsule is a 6-month business accelerator designed to ignite growth, sharpen strategy, and create unstoppable momentum—all within a powerful community of creative entrepreneurs that champions your success.
Is This You?
You’ve spent countless hours searching for the answers—courses, workshops, webinars, podcasts, YouTube marathons—all in the hopes of finding the magic formula that’ll finally unlock the next level in your business.
You’ve built something incredible on your own, but now you’re facing the question: What’s next? You’re not looking to hit millionaire status tomorrow—you just want to grow in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and truly impactful. The options you’ve seen so far are:
More quick-win fixes—puzzle pieces that never quite fit together, leaving you with a business strategy that looks like abstract art (but not the good kind).
Multi-module courses and programs—solutions that are so cumbersome that you get overwhelmed and fizzle out before you reach the other side.
Fancy “mastermind” groups—where you’re one of 100+ people hearing the same recycled advice as your peers for an hour or two each month—all for the low, low price of [insert 5-figure sum here]— wondering how applying it will look like on your heart-centered business.
Where is the guidance that truly speaks to creative entrepreneurs like you—who’ve already built something amazing and just need that next-level boost to break through?
Taylor Swift said it best, “Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes”—
and neither do quick fixes and cure-all elixirs when it comes to your business.
You’re ready to do the work and what you need now is something that fits—something aligned with your vision, your values, and your next big move. No fluff. No gimmicks. Just a roadmap that actually works.
And if it’s supercharged with a crew of creative entrepreneurs who get it, all working toward the same thing: real, sustainable growth (i.e., goodbye isolation)…
That’s not magic, friend… it’s success knocking.
No more guessing. No more piecing it together. Just progress, finally.
Growth Isn’t a Luxury;
It’s a Necessity
If your business isn’t moving forward, it’s falling behind.
What you need is a unique combination of guidance, tools, and mastermind to propel your business into its next phase with strategies that don’t just plug holes—they build a rock-solid foundation for sustainable success.
“Whenever I have an idea, Maci immediately understands, makes it 100 times better in ways I would have never thought about, and helps me map out a plan. Her digital marketing experience and insightful perspective have helped me grow my brand, understand why people buy from me, and deliver hit offers every time. Whenever I create something new in my business, I go to Maci. Her advice always turns into me making more money.”

The Growth Capsule is for you if:
You’ve got a legit business with proven offers, a website, and perhaps a mild dependency on caffeine.
You want to refine your strategy for growth, not just for staying afloat (survival mode is so last year).
You’ve hit that dreaded plateau and you’re ready to bust through it like the creative superhero you are.
You’ve got an email list, a social media presence, and a lot more ideas than time. You’ve pieced things together so far, but now you’re ready for something that actually moves the needle.
You’ve DIY’d it this far, but scaling smarter (not harder) sounds like something your future self would really appreciate.
You value a community that understands you—and by “understands,” we mean knows the struggle of juggling creative vision with running an actual business.
Successful businesses like yours are built with grit, hustle, and late nights, but it seems inevitable to reach that critical crossroads where it’s either break through or break down.
And the difference between calling it quits, or having a sustainable rise to success is exactly what you’ll learn inside the Growth Capsule.

This is the no-fluff game changer that will help you outlast and outsmart the stats.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is The Growth Capsule for?
The Growth Capsule is designed for creative entrepreneurs who already have an established business. If you have a proven offer, a website, and a social media presence, and you’re looking to refine your strategy, scale smarter, and build sustainable growth, this program is for you. It’s not for beginners or those still figuring out their business model.
2. What if I don’t have a large email list or social media following?
That’s okay! The Growth Capsule is for entrepreneurs who are already in the game but may need to improve certain areas, like growing their audience. As long as you have the basics in place—like a small email list—you’re ready to join.
3. How much time should I expect to dedicate to the program each month?
We recommend setting aside 3-5 hours per month to get the most out of The Growth Capsule. This includes attending an hour-long call twice per month, engaging with the community, and implementing the strategies and action steps you’ll develop.
4. What makes The Growth Capsule different from other masterminds or business programs?
Unlike traditional masterminds with large groups and generic advice, The Growth Capsule offers a more intimate, tailored approach. It’s specifically designed for creative entrepreneurs, with strategies and guidance aligned to your unique business needs. Plus, you’ll have access to a collaborative community of like-minded creatives who understand your challenges and can offer real support.
7. What if I sign up and decide it’s not the right fit? Can I get a refund?
The Growth Capsule has a no-refund policy, so we encourage you to carefully consider whether the program aligns with your goals before committing. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out before applying.
9. When does the program start and how long does it last?
The Growth Capsule is a 6-month program that begins in February. You’ll be part of an engaged community and receive support throughout the entire six months, with workshops, resources, and ongoing opportunities for growth. We will have some activities starting before then, but the official program kicks off in February.
