90% of your team changes at your next revenue milestone - but few CEOs see the warning signs until it's too late

Your scaling strategy isn't just about revenue - it's about building the right team structure at the right salary levels (from $25/hr VAs to $100/hr COOs) to give you true CEO FREEDOM. 

Join Chanelle and Chantal as they break down the exact team pricing, hiring psychology, and scaling structure that actually works for online businesses making $500K-$2M+.

From their beachside offices in Mauritius and South Africa, they share decades of hands-on experience working inside multi-million dollar teams. This isn't theory - it's what actually happens in the trenches when you scale.

One client used this exact framework to take a 3-month sabbatical while keeping her team running and revenue flowing. Another built $7K monthly recurring with just 4 strategic team members instead of 15 task-tickers.
