12-week cohortFor founders

You already know what to do. This makes you do it.

12 weeks, 12 missions, 1 goal. A structured execution program that forces you to hit the exact target you set for your business.

Let's be honest

Your business isn't stuck because you lack information. It's stuck because you aren't executing the moves you already know you need to make.

You know how to multiply sales, reach operational excellence, and boost customer satisfaction. You know which rotten apples on your team need to go, and where you need top-tier talent.

The problem? Knowing what to do is not the same as doing.

This program is built exclusively for founders who know how to grow but simply aren't taking the actions required to make it happen. We eliminate execution stress, convert you into an unstoppable operator, and fundamentally upgrade how you view yourself, lead your company, and hit your targets.

Where your growth actually lives

Real growth sits in one quadrant. And you avoid it.

Let's look at the Eisenhower matrix. Real growth sits in the Important, Not Urgent quadrant. Let me prove it to you.

Urgent
Not urgent
Important
Operational activities, solving urgent issues.
Everything that actually grows the company. And everything you postpone.
Not important
Other people's priorities.
Noise.
  • Price increases that you constantly delay because you fear how clients will respond.
  • Toxic customers that you don't fire, or whose contract terms you never enforce, because you fear the conflict.
  • Delaying key hires, avoiding hiring talent out of fear of losing control, of managing high performers, or of burning capital.
  • Over-planning, spending weeks creating perfect strategies and frameworks as a defence mechanism to delay putting real offers in front of the market, out of fear of their response.
  • Prioritizing tasks, spending hours micro-managing irrelevant tasks instead of doing cold outreach, closing deals or fixing fulfilment.
  • Waiting until everything is 100% ready to launch a campaign out of fear that it could flop, which kills the company's speed of iteration.
  • Inability to say no, saying yes to all opportunities because of fear of losing revenue, which dilutes the primary goal of the company.
  • Inability to delegate, because "nobody does it as well as I do." What's the fear here? Making mistakes.

I can go on and on with this list of crucial tasks that most founders neglect out of fear.

And that quadrant is where your growth lives. At the edge of fear.

This is the reason most investors do due diligence on the founder. Because it's the founder who makes or breaks the company, not the strategy.

The solution

Fortunately, this part is simple.

Five steps. The same five for every founder in the room.

01You name one metric. One number you want to improve in the next 90 days.
02You identify the 5 to 10 actions you keep postponing.
03I break those actions down into 12 missions. One per week, arriving at your number.
04You commit, execute, and provide proof.
05After 12 weeks you hit your number, or we keep working with you for free until you do.

What about fear?

And now you are probably asking yourself: "what about the fear?" And here is where my expertise lives. Let me tell you who I am.

My name is Serge Oganesian and for 15 years I have been obsessed with identity formation and transformation. How humans develop themselves, why one person is fearless and confident and another timid and passive. Why one person decides and acts while another contemplates. How authority and influence are built and presented.

And what I found is that the highest level of power is having power over yourself. I have coached dozens of high-performing individuals to become the best version of themselves, using the same protocol we are going to use in these 12 weeks.

And the short version of this is: you are going to be assigned a new role during our work, with specific rules. And all decisions and actions will consult those rules instead of your emotions. This will not take away the fear of raising your prices or having a high-risk negotiation, but you will act despite that fear, because the rule told you so.

This is what Peter said after the 1-on-1 coaching in 2024 about this concept:

"Serge, what stayed with me after all the work that we've done is this simple idea of bypassing these stupid emotions that are stopping me from taking action. I'm still baffled that it worked so well. And it makes so much sense now, what you said constantly, emotions should be a response to our actions, not the other way around. Thank you for this life lesson."

Peter1-on-1 coaching, 2024

Emotions are downstream

You act, and then you feel confident.

You don't wait to feel confident to start acting, because you will wait until the end of time.

I love this skydiving example. The day prior to the jump you start to get nervous, and the closer it gets the more uncomfortable you become. Then the day comes, and your fear is at its peak when you're standing in the airplane waiting to be called. All that time there was no physical danger to your life, and still the fear was uncontrollable.

The moment you jump is the moment you have the biggest risk of dying. You are literally falling face down towards the earth. And what do you feel at that moment? Bliss, excitement, uncontrollable happiness.

Consulting your emotions before deciding to act is not the right approach when you are on the path to achieving greatness.

This program is not here just to help you tick off a to-do list. It's here to make you see something. To create a radical change in the way you see yourself, your performance and the task at hand.

We're using your specific target number because we want to see a measurable, quantitative result in your company due to this shift in perception and behaviour. That is what the program is all about. We change the way you act and the business reflects that in the results.

What a week looks like

Every week runs the same. Twelve times.

There is nothing to fall behind on and nothing to catch up with. You hold one action at a time.

MondayOne missionOne action. Specific enough that a stranger could tell whether you did it.
Wednesday90 minutes, live callThe step that makes backing out impossible happens here, with the group watching. Not later.
SundayYou submit proofA screenshot, a recording, a signed document. Saying you did it does not count.
MondayNext missionWritten against what actually came back. The plan bends to you. It does not get abandoned.

One caveat

I want to be honest with you.

This program is completely new and has no testimonials yet. There is no historical data that I can show you, and my 1-on-1 coaching uses a completely different methodology from this one. Because of that, the price is lower.

Once I have successfully run multiple groups, I will add testimonials to this page and the price will go up.

Fit

Who this is for

This is for founders who

  • Have a strategy, know what they need to do, but don't do it
  • Know growth is possible, they just don't know where to start
  • Are fed up with their own delays
  • Are comfortable being uncomfortable during this program
  • Are ready to do the hard work

This is not for you if

  • You want strategy or a plan. This assumes you already know what to do
  • Your constraint is a skill or resource you genuinely don't have, rather than an action you keep not taking
  • You can't protect 90 minutes on the same day every week for 12 weeks
  • You don't have a number that can move in 90 days
  • You want to be talked out of the discomfort instead of moved through it
The Guarantee

If you complete your weekly missions on time and we still don't hit the predetermined number, we keep working with you for free until you hit it.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

I'm already working 60 hours a week. How do I have time for this?
You don't need more time; you need to stop wasting it. Most founders spend 20+ hours a week on small, easy tasks to avoid the 2 or 3 hard things that actually make money. This program doesn't add extra hours to your week. It strips away the noise, so you spend your time on what counts.
Why pay for a program if I already know what to do?
Because knowing isn't doing. Information is free now, but it gets you zero results if you don't take action. Frameworks are available, AI is intelligent, business strategies are battle-tested. At this stage businesses can be set up as plug and play. And still, most businesses struggle. Why? Because knowing is not the same as doing.
Is this just another video course I'm going to buy and forget about?
This is not a 40-hour video course or masterclass on how high-performers operate. We have weekly missions, clear outputs, direct accountability, and zero room for excuses. You build momentum by doing the work, not by thinking about it.
Why is this a cohort? Won't I get better results with private 1-on-1 coaching?
You don't need someone to hold your hand in private. You need the social pressure of a room full of other founders watching you either deliver or make excuses. The 12-week cohort creates an environment where falling behind hurts your pride. We leverage that friction to make you move.
What if I join, get busy, and still don't do the work?
Then you fail the missions and waste your money. We provide the 12-week framework, the exact targets, and the pressure. We do not do the push-ups for you. If you aren't fully committed to doing the uncomfortable work, close this page and do not apply.
Can I pay after I get results or make money from the program?
No. Having money on the line is part of the process. If you don't have skin in the game, you will find a reason to quit the moment the work gets uncomfortable. Paying upfront forces you to show up and do the work.
What if I don't make my money back?
The only way you don't get a return on your investment is if you join, ignore the weekly targets, and go back to busy work. If you actually do the uncomfortable tasks you've been avoiding for months, the program easily pays for itself.
I don't have the cash to invest in this right now.
If your business is low on cash because you keep delaying sales calls, avoiding marketing, and putting off real work, waiting won't fix your bank account. Fix your execution, and the money follows.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
No. A money-back guarantee gives you an easy way out when the work gets hard. If you know you can just ask for a refund when you don't feel like executing, you won't do the work. You are either fully in, or this isn't for you.

One number. Twelve weeks. Twelve things done.

Five places. I read every application personally, and not everyone who applies is accepted.
