7 Building Blocks
Scale Up
Blueprint
Tiny moves create
massive momentum.
Small Steps
No more all-or-nothing energy. Here, you’ll master the power of micro-actions that stack, build, and eventually snowball into major wins.
Discipline
Motivation fades.
Systems don't.
This isn’t about hustle—it’s about consistency. This block teaches the art of disciplined growth without burning out or giving up.
Tenacity
Setbacks aren't stop signs. They are fuel to go further
Success doesn’t come from avoiding setbacks—it comes from moving through them. This block shows you how to keep going even when things get hard.
Results
What you track, grows
Without data and direction, even the best effort fizzles. This final block teaches how to measure progress, adjust, and stay aligned with what truly matters.
Mindset
Your next level
starts in your mind.
Learn to reframe challenges as information—not identity. This block teaches the mental shifts needed to stay steady through uncertainty and growth.
Potential
The real you hasn't
even shown up yet.
Most people operate at 60% of what they’re capable of. This block helps uncover your hidden abilities—and the courage to use them.
Support
You scale faster when you are not scaling alone.
The most successful leaders know how to lean into the right people at the right time. This block helps you identify, build, and leverage the strategic relationships that lift you up.

Meet Maja
From War to
Worldwide Impact
At age 16, I lost my leg in a grenade blast. I spent months in a hospital alone, unsure if I’d live. I rebuilt my life in a new country, founded a global IT company, and became a voice for those navigating change, loss, and reinvention.
Today, I help individuals and organizations rise above setbacks—and scale what matters most.
Your current success isn’t your ceiling.
It’s your launchpad.
