One client, five years on

Alex worked alongside me instead of doing it for me. It was the difference between giving someone a fish and teaching her to fish.
Amanda Korthuis · Hello Glow Color Bar

Amanda runs Hello Glow Color Bar, an organic spray tan studio. In 2021 she came to me with one number in mind and a business that only booked when she was on her phone. We built her marketing system together over twelve weeks.

$6,000
a month, her goal going in. She reached it within three months. Her income has since doubled.

She has moved studios since. The system we built in 2021 is still the one she runs. In 2026 she sat down for an interview to look back on it. The quotes below are hers.

Amanda, looking back

  • I remember the first weekend away without cell service. When I came back into service, appointments had been booked. I did not have to scramble or push to fill the schedule.

  • It did not matter whether I worked in a closet or a beautiful downtown studio. They followed because I stayed true to the systems we put in place in 2021, to my authentic voice, and to my ideal client.

  • What mattered after the Pinterest experience was that Alex did not promise immediate sales. She explained that the work would create a sustainable structure so I could step away for a weekend and the business could continue.

  • I still use everything I learned. There is not one part of the program I have discarded.
