For complete beginners & 9-5ers starting at ground zero

This is the exact A-Z roadmap that takes average people working entry level 9-5's from "I have no idea where to start" to running a $5,000+ per month AI-powered, micro service agency with 10-20 real, easy-to-manage paying clients (thanks to AI) — in less than 90 days. No cold outreach. No testimonials needed. No experience required. Just a proven system built specifically for beginners who are starting from absolute scratch and have no idea where to start.

This is the full roadmap — nothing left out, nothing assumed. Every single video is built for someone starting at absolute zero, so you're never left guessing what to do next. You'll go from "I don't even know what skill to pick" all the way to running a real microservice that pays you every single month. Just press play and follow the steps.

You're not doing this alone. Inside the community you'll be surrounded by people who are on the exact same path as you — some just a few steps ahead, some right beside you. Ask questions, share your wins, get unstuck fast, and stay accountable. Honestly, this alone is worth it. The right people around you changes everything.

Stuck on something? Just message me. No middleman, no support ticket, no waiting around. You get direct access to me personally so that nothing slows you down or keeps you stuck for longer than it needs to. This isn't something I offer lightly — I'm genuinely invested in you getting results.

This is where everything starts. Before you do anything else, you need to know exactly what skill to pick and why — and that's exactly what Week 1 gives you. You'll learn why starting with a service is the smartest move for beginners, how the business model actually works, and which top 3 services are working right now (the holy trinity). You'll discover how to get good at your skill fast so imposter syndrome never holds you back, how to pick a niche that's AI-proof, how to create your first offer with real pricing behind it, and the honest, raw reality of what the path to 6 figures actually looks like — including the maths and the timeframe. No fluff, just clarity.
Now that you know your skill, it's time to build the machine around it. Week 2 walks you through setting up every tool you need, building your site, and getting your payment processors in place so you can actually get paid. You'll also learn how to build a portfolio that looks credible even before you have a single client — which is one of the biggest things that holds beginners back. Plus a bonus module on finding and using talent so you're never stuck doing everything alone.
Most beginners lose clients not because of their skill, but because they don't know how to sell. Week 3 fixes that. You'll learn the foundations of selling a service, the do's and don'ts that separate people who close from people who don't, and you'll get the full Bridge Method — Montell's exact sales script system that turns conversations into paying clients without being pushy, salesy, or awkward.
Upwork is one of the fastest ways to land your first clients with zero audience and zero following — and Week 4 shows you how to dominate it. You'll build a profile and portfolio that actually gets clicks, master the outreach game with cover letters that get responses, set up your automated meeting system, learn how to run discovery calls and follow up properly, and close with the Bridge Method. There's also a brand new 2026 update module on how to make Upwork MORE profitable right now, despite the increased connect fees.
LinkedIn is an untapped goldmine for beginners — if you know how to use it. Week 5 shows you the exact system for attracting inbound leads organically without paid ads. - The exact same system I used to land my VERY first $1,000/mo client EVER! You'll set up your profile funnel, learn how to prospect and connect with the right people, borrow leverage through content ideas, turn conversations into booked calls, and follow a simple daily workflow that keeps your pipeline full without taking over your life.
This week is about building the infrastructure that lets paid ads actually work. You'll make sure your offer is dialled in and ready before spending a single penny, set up your CSL funnel and automation, script your VSL, and test everything before you go live. You'll also get three dedicated modules on closing clients who come through ads, including the Salesman's Pendulum, pre-sales call assets, and the Alchemic Script... so when leads come in, you know exactly how to convert them.
The final week is where you turn on the tap. You'll learn exactly what to watch before launching ads, how to script, record, and edit your ads from scratch, how to launch using ChatGPT for targeting, and when to scale versus when to cut. There's a live funnel troubleshooting demo so you can fix problems in real time, a full case study, and a mindset module on reprogramming how you think about ad performance. By the end of this week, you'll have a real paid acquisition system running for just $30 a day.

Honestly? This was built for you specifically. Build Your Leverage doesn't assume you already have a skill — Week 1 literally starts with "what skill should you pick and why." You'll go from having no idea where to start, to having a real digital skill you're getting good at fast, to turning it into something people actually pay you for. The fact that you have no skills right now isn't a problem. It's exactly the starting point this program is designed for.
I hear this a lot and I get it — you've probably been burned before. Bought something, got overwhelmed halfway through, and then quietly blamed yourself for not finishing it. The difference with BYL is that it's not just information — it's a step by step system with a clear path, a community around you, and direct access to me personally. You won't be left figuring it out alone. And if you get stuck? You message me. That's not something most courses offer.
I respect that, and I'm not going to tell you money doesn't matter; it does. There is a split pay option available on the next page.
But here's what I'd ask you to think about: the whole point of this program is to get you to $5,000+ per month. Meaning if it works and 590+ students say it does, it pays for itself in the first month alone. The real question isn't whether you can afford it. It's whether you can afford to keep waiting. The beta price of $599 won't be around forever. So the longer you wait, the more expensive the decision actually gets.
This wasn't built for people with 8 hours a day to spare. It was built for people in the exact situation you're in right now. You don't need to quit your job or rearrange your life. A focused hour a day is enough to get through the content and start taking action. The whole point is to build something that works around your life, not instead of it.
I've heard this one too. "I'm too old." "I'm not in the right country." "I'm too introverted." "I'm not confident enough." Here's the truth. The 590+ students wins/testimonials I've collected from this system came from all kinds of different backgrounds, countries, ages, and starting points. The system works because it's built around fundamentals that don't care about your circumstances. What matters is that you follow the steps. That's it.
That's a fair question, and honestly, I'd be worried if you didn't ask it. Here's what I'd say: don't take my word for it. Look at the real student wins from the program. Look at the track record. Look at the fact that I'm giving you direct DM access to me personally, scammers don't do that. I'm a real person with a real reputation on the line, and I only win if you win. That's the WHOLE model.
100%. You don't need to be technical at all. Every tool you use inside BYL is beginner-friendly, and every setup is walked through step by step on screen so you can just follow along. If you can watch a video and copy what you see, you can do this. Tech has never been what stops people; it's usually the belief that they can't figure it out. And that's exactly what the training is there to remove.
Yes! There's a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you get inside, go through the material, and genuinely feel it's not for you, just reach out within 14 days of purchasing and you'll get a full refund. The only condition is that you've watched less than 20% of the program and request the refund within 336 hours of purchasing it, because at that point, you've barely scratched the surface, and it wouldn't be fair to either of us. No drama, no hard feelings. But I'll be real with you, once you're inside and you see what's in there, I don't think you'll be asking for one.
Yes. The skills you'll learn, the platforms you'll use to find clients, and the system you'll build are all location-independent. It doesn't matter if you're in the UK, US, Australia, Nigeria, the Philippines, India or anywhere else. The internet doesn't have borders, and neither does this business model. Students from all over the world have made this work. Your country isn't a barrier. Your willingness to follow the steps is the only thing that matters.
PS - my latest student from India took this program, started from scratch and scaled his business so well that he bought his Mom a brand new car straight off of the lot at the dealership in his early 20's! (proof on the next page btw - feel free to DM him too)
Great question and I'll be straight with you. Yes, AI can give you information. But here's the problem: information isn't the same as a system. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok etc will give you a thousand different answers, point you in a hundred different directions, and leave you more confused than when you started. What BYL gives you is a singular, proven, step-by-step path that removes all the noise and tells you exactly what to do, in what order, and why. You're not paying for information. You're paying for clarity, structure, accountability, a community, and direct access to someone who has already done it and helped 590+ others do it too. And let's be 1000% real for a second, if AI worked, you wouldn't be here reading this, you'd be in Bali making $20k/mo living your life already.
No hidden costs, what you pay to enrol is what you pay. In terms of running your microservice, the tools you'll need to get started are minimal and mostly free or very low cost. We're talking a basic website, a free scheduling tool, and whatever tools are specific to the skill you choose. Most of which have free plans to start. For Upwork, I recommend having at least $250 to start with. And if you decide to run ads in Week 6 and 7, you'll need a budget of around $30 a day... BUT that's entirely optional and not something you'll be doing until you already have clients and cash coming in. The whole point of the early weeks in the program is to land clients organically first, so you're making money before you spend any.
