Case Studies
How To Work Less
Rich Webster, a prominent lifestyle business coach with over 300k followers on Instagram, partnered with Zen Mondays to transform the course delivery and community management of How To Work Less. Designed for solopreneurs, freelancers, and service providers, his course aims to empower professionals to achieve more freedom by working less and earning more.
Recognizing the need for a streamlined, scalable system to accommodate growing student enrollment and community interactions, we developed a comprehensive solution. Our team seamlessly integrated Circle with essential third-party tools such as Leadpages, Thrivecart, ConvertKit, Zapier, and Adevent. Additionally, we crafted a custom Notion workspace to manage the entire business and developed exclusive Notion templates as bonuses for the students, significantly enhancing the learning experience for over 350 participants.
In addition to technical enhancements, I assumed the role of course manager, ensuring that all student inquiries were promptly addressed and that course operations ran smoothly. Our strategic interventions not only enabled the course to generate over $600k in revenue and achieve Platinum community status on Circle—placing it among the top 10% of most interactive communities—but also significantly optimized Rich’s workload. By automating key processes and managing community interactions, we reduced Rich's active working hours to only 4 hours per week during live cohorts, consisting of two two-hour sessions each week.
The success of How To Work Less highlights the significant impact of thoughtful automation and proactive community management. By cultivating a supportive and engaging learning environment, we helped Rich not only meet but surpass his educational and business objectives.
6-Figure Freelancer Course
Sophia Babb, an accomplished freelance coach with over 46k followers on Instagram, partnered with Zen Mondays to revitalize her 6-Figure Freelancer course. Aimed at guiding freelancers toward achieving $10k+ months, the course required a more dynamic and engaging platform to accommodate its growth. We facilitated a complete migration from Kajabi to Circle, significantly enhancing the community interaction and course management features.
We reimagined every aspect of Sophia's tech stack from scratch. Our comprehensive revamp included building out Circle automations and integrating essential third-party tools such as Calendly, Thrivecart, Flodesk, and Zapier. We also crafted a custom Notion workspace to manage the entire business and developed specialized Notion templates as bonuses for her students.
In addition to these technical enhancements, we provided extensive support in rewriting the course, optimizing the curriculum, presentations, and bonus materials to enhance the learning experience. We developed comprehensive branding assets for the community, presentations, emails, and her website to ensure a cohesive visual and user experience.
I assumed the role of course manager, promptly addressing all student inquiries and ensuring smooth course operations. Our strategic overhaul dramatically reduced Sophia’s operational workload, allowing her to focus solely on delivering live teaching sessions. Now, Sophia needs to actively work only two hours a week during course periods, freeing her up to concentrate on content delivery and strategic growth.
Don't Hate your Deck Course
Michael Lightman, an influential figure in startup education, collaborated with Zen Mondays to launch his innovative Don’t Hate Your Deck course. Designed to transform ineffective pitch decks into compelling presentations that capture investor interest, the course targets tech startups looking to secure venture capital funding.
From the outset, we were tasked with creating the course on Circle from scratch, employing a tech stack that included Circle automations and essential third-party tools like Webflow, Thrivecart, ConvertKit, and Zapier. We built a dynamic course environment that supports both evergreen content and separate live group programs, offering flexibility to accommodate various learning preferences and scheduling needs. Additionally, we developed a custom Notion workspace to streamline course management and student interaction, enhancing the organizational efficiency of the course.
Although Don’t Hate Your Deck has only recently launched, early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with participants praising the clarity and actionable insights provided. Michael Lightman's course is poised to become an essential resource for any startup or organization aiming to improve their funding outcomes through better presentations.
Our collaboration with Michael highlights Zen Mondays' ability to tailor educational platforms to the specific needs of clients, ensuring that both content delivery and technical infrastructure align perfectly to facilitate learning and growth.

"Alex is my secret weapon. Not only did our course revenue skyrocket after working with her, she was able to design me out of the fulfillment of the course, so I could focus on the areas where I really provide a ton of value. Her expert handling of our Circle course buildout and community management was a total game-changer. Her knack for integrating powerful automations and creating streamlined Notion systems brought our content and community interactions to life in ways I hadn’t imagined possible. Students love the new setup, and their rave reviews about her speak volumes. If you have the opportunity to work with Alex, do it. She's the professional you want on your team to elevate your online courses and community interactions. Highly recommended.”
