The secret to my success in my online business - WAIM!
Oh, how I love WAIM.... 🌹🌹🌹
Let me count the ways...
But 1st, let me take you on a little trip down memory lane to when I first discovered Jason & Caroline Zook...
I was fresh into my freelance journey in April of 2021, and while scrolling through my good ole IG feed, I saw this hilarious reel.

I promptly began binging on their both equally, entertaining & educational podcast
My business and my stress levels haven't been the same since.
Seriously, these 2 were a breath of fresh air and just what I needed.
At this point, I had been at this online business game for a year & while I had achieved my goal of finally saying buh-bye to my 9-5 to embrace the freelance life.
I needed their guidance more than I knew.
Don't get me wrong, some days I felt good. But some days, I would feel like a scattered mess. I would keep jumping from one task to another:
- grow the list,
- update the website
- feed the guinea pig
- get the zap set up
- record the reel
Everything felt like a priority, and I was exhausted from trying to tackle every aspect of my business before my morning cup of coffee.
I could list all the things that I needed to do to improve my business but had no idea what to do 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. I was overwhelmed, craving direction, focus, and really just wanting someone to tell me what to do & in what order.
Que WAIM Unlimited Coaching & The Un-boring Business Roadmap….
A multi-passionate ADHD entrepreneur's dream. While WAIM would be fab for many different business owners, it would be perfect for those who sometimes feel overwhelmed or aren't sure what to focus on next.
Mainly because you get access to the Un-Boring Business Roadmap soon as you join.
REASON # 1 WHY I LOVE WAIM - The Business Roadmap
The Unboring Business roadmap pulls all of Zook's experience, coaching sessions, and knowledge into ONE streamlined program that an online business owner can jump into. It is based on a decision tree flow chart meant to guide you straight to the next action step that will significantly impact your business. And to me, it's pure genius. 🤯
With the unboring business roadmap in hand, I was able to flow through it simply, answering yes or no to each prompt, and when I came to a section that was a no for my business, it would show me exactly what to do or focus on next.
So, for example, at the time I joined WAIM, I had a business idea & knew who I wanted to serve. Still, my offers were a little murky, so I started with lesson 2.1, Creating a Compelling Offer to help me identify my core offer and make sure it's ready to sell.
Once my offer was solid, I worked further down the chart to section 2.5: Craft a sales strategy to sell your offer, which provides step-by-step guidance on planning and executing a live sales event for your offer or product.
And the icing on the cake is that... no matter what you're guided to, ALL of the videos, courses, templates, coaching sessions, etc., etc., are already included within WAIM. (unlike most other programs I've been in, where they are constantly trying to upsell you).
REASON # 2 WHY I LOVE WAIM - The Notion Starter Pack
As a project manager, I've been around the block with several project management tools, but one tool stole my heart for its endless customizability options & that is Notion! And while I was using Notion previously in my business, the Notion Starter Pack included in the WAIM business brought my business organization to a whole new level.
Before implementing Caroline's genius notion starter pack in my business, I had watched countless hours of Thomas Frank's and August Bradley's Youtube videos on Notion. From that, I had cobbled together a semi-useful Business Management system.
I promptly tossed everything I had built out the window once I had my hands on Caroline's notion starter pack. Because this thing was on another level. It literally provides a system for managing and executing every aspect of your business in a way that makes sense for my brain.
Plus, it's easy to implement and comes with step-by-step video setup tutorials. It includes all the basics you'll need to efficiently plan, organize and execute every aspect of your online business (and stay on top of your life balance in the process!)
I use this template daily to plan my workdays, client projects, and content creation. You can watch a short tour and see how I use the starter pack to plan my week below

REASON # 3 of WHY I LOVE WAIM - THEIR BUSINESS VALUES
Point blank, the Zooks run their business the way I want to run my business. There are about a kajillion different business coaches out there but I think it's important to learn from people who share the same values, morals, and ethical code as you.
The intention & care behind everything they do is evident from your first interaction with them. They don't just stand for their values. They incorporate them into everything they do. They work hard to ensure that WAIM is welcoming and accessible. One of the things that I LOVE is that they begin every group coaching session by reviewing their values with the community.
Many business coaches want to promise you the world but only deliver you unmet expectations and leave you searching for the next course or coach.
Not these guys...
Yes, they provide expert guidance and advice, but they constantly remind their community that every business situation is unique and build your success on your terms.
Unlike most coaches or course creators out there, they don't make any empty promises or guarantees of "all the figs."
Because they can't..... Neither can anyone else, for that matter. 🤷🏻♀️
What they do promise AND deliver BIG TIME is :
- Intentional sharing of their vast breadth of "actual" online business experience
- Providing practical actions steps while supporting you
- Making the learning journey FUN and engaging along the way.
Getting people to buy into the dream would be easier, but it's not REAL.
You can read more about their REAL values here.
My final thoughts..
I've invested and participated in many courses and coaching programs throughout my entrepreneurial journey. But, by far, WAIM is the most in-depth in terms of knowledge sharing AND intentional care.
Believe it or not, there is a ton of more things that I LOVE about WAIM that I haven't even mentioned yet, like :
