Picture this…
You close your computer after the 4th straight day of uninterrupted creative flow, feeling inspired and delighted by your progress writing the latest chapter of your book.
You head to the kitchen for a beautifully crafted meal cooked by your private chef with the knowledge that your trustworthy and capable team has spent the day back at home closing sales (check out that sales report!), delivering remarkable results for your clients, and creating potent, high-converting marketing content while you’re away at your mountain retreat.
This is what’s possible with …
Private Leadership Mentoring
For multi-6 and 7-fig+ leaders ready to increase your profitability and build a truly extraordinary team that cares as much as you do so you can work as much or as little as you want, and take BIG chunks of time off each year to rest, travel, spend time with family, work on your next entrepreneurial endeavor and (eventually) SELL your business.
I see you, dear Business Owner…
I know you’re already a successful entrepreneur who’s made HUGE strides in growing your empire, but that next level of expansion is calling, and it’s super frustrating that you STILL spend most of your days putting out fires and cleaning up your team members’ mistakes
Maybe you dream of opening up another location, or launching your personal brand or retreat business.
Heck maybe you even have secret dreams of the day where you could get your business to the point where you could sell it.
And you KNOW that if only you had an additional 10 hours a week (or even a full month OFF from all meetings, marketing and deliverables), your book, podcast, new location or new business altogether would flow right out of you.
You already know in your bones that in order to be able to work on this next iteration of your life and business, you need a trustworthy and capable team of support (both at home and at work) that cares as much as you do about your mission and clients AND can deliver, sell and market with the potency that you’ve always had.
And when you DO finally have this high-functioning, no-drama Dream Team…
You’ll be able to continue your company’s rapid expansion without overwhelm or anxiety, feeling confident, organized and well-respected by your employees.
You’ll wake up to a slow morning, every morning, with ample time for your journaling or meditation practice and exercise routines before your first meeting.
You’ll open your calendar and see HUGE blocks of unscheduled time, where you’ll be able to put your full focus into creating your next offer or working on that non-profit wing of you business, or writing your first book.
You’ll have an inbox that is sparse and uncluttered, because you have systems in place that allow your team and customers to get their needs met without bombarding you with a million questions day and night.
You finally have clear boundaries between work/device time and self-care and family time and you are bringing your best self to your relationships (instead of feeling like your business gets the best parts of you)
You’ll finally be able to make moves toward your secret dream: building your newest entrepreneurial creation while prepping your current business to sell for a serious profit
But the problem is, if you stepped away right now, you’d come back from your writing retreat and open up your computer only to be blasted with 176 emails from your team and customers.
…. and you DREAD the day that an unhappy client might be handled inappropriately by your (well-meaning) team.
As it stands, you notice that when you DO take time off here and there, your engagement goes WAY down, or your sales take a dip, or the client results are lackluster.
And even though you have dreams of a truly spacious calendar, you worry that your team would think you’re a privileged capitalist a-hole with no heart whatsoever if you took yourself out of the day-to-day to build another location, personal brand or retreat business.
The BIGGEST problem I see in the majority of high-level clients I work with is that despite their desire to, the owner can not step away from the day-to-day because (let’s be honest) their marketing, sales process or delivery won’t be as powerful if someone else on the team is doing it.
I’m willing to bet that’s where you’re at right now, and it makes you feel handcuffed to your business as it stands.
And I’m SURE you’ve already tried a million and one solutions:
Hiring expensive contractors or agencies who market themselves as experts instead of relying on your own team of employees
Increasing your team’s salaries with the thought that maybe THEN they’ll show up with the level of professionalism and collaboration you’ve always wanted.
Spending loooonnnnggg zoom meetings with your team trying to teach them exactly what you do and how you do it.
Or just throwing up your hands and deciding (yet again) that it’s easier and faster to just do it yourself.
And the frustrating thing is: they nod their heads and SEEM to get it, and then just don’t deliver when you actually really need their support.
You just haven’t had much luck with your hires, and now you’re losing hope that it will even be possible to carve out the time you know you need to see your next project come to life.
I don’t believe you should have to pay another 6 figures to a fancy ads agency to increase your revenues, nor spend all your time cleaning up your employees’ mistakes.
And let me tell you, I know this story intimately.
I spent YEARS in this excruciating limbo while I was building my first company - desperately wanting to wean my business off me and simultaneously taking on everything myself.
I tried EVERYTHING:
I hired the text messaging campaign expert and the industry-specific marketing agency and spent crap tons of money and resources redesigning our website and sales software interface.
I tried creating an unlisted youtube channel just for in-house training videos (total flop).
I tried increasing my key players’ salaries with the thought that maybe then, they’d finally be happy…
BUT NOTHING WORKED.
So I kept coming back to my natural default belief; “If I want something done well, I’ll have to do it all myself.”
But that didn’t work either.
My inbox still felt like a mountain I would never ever get to the top of.
I would get texts at all times of the day and night asking for my help taking care of something that should have been automatic.
I felt my once-passion-and-pride for my business turn into resentment and “ick.”
In truth, it got to the point where I just wanted to be rid of it.
But then one day it dawned on me:
I needed to mature my business from “The Kiki Show” to something that could stand on its own two feet, with or without me.
I needed to up my game as a leader and take responsibility for my team’s confidence in solving problems as well as their professionalism, creativity and commitment.
And when I finally started to step into that role of Mentor & Visionary Leader, owning my expertise and value as a mentor instead of a technician doing all the do’s, my world began to open up.
So I started teaching my clients what I had learned, and over the course of my first 5 years as a coach to hundreds of small business owners across industries as varied as wellness, coaching, marketing, entertainment, education and product design and manufacturing…
I discovered that there are 3 core steps that EVERY entrepreneur needs to take so that they can create an extra-ordinary team of capable, reliable, coachable contributors and scale up their business to 7 figures or beyond while working 20 hours per week or less.
These are the EXACT steps I’ve led hundreds of business owners through from all different service-based industries - wellness, coaching, consulting, marketing, education and entertainment to name a few.
My success rate is over 90%; after implementing these 3 steps, my clients are left with a spacious calendar and a high-functioning, no-drama team of Dream Team contributors that helps them get to their next level of revenue, client results and Time Abundance, and eventually creates a pathway for them to exit the business, if desired.
Client Results
“Kiki gives practical and straightforward strategy tips whenever I ask but also has an uncanny way of seeing what is underneath the "problems" I'm having.”
I have opened multiple locations while working with Kiki and have always found her to be spot on with strategic support as well as mindset, managing finances and personnel matter during stressful times like this.
Highly recommend.
- Kelly H, Yoga Educator and Owner of 3 businesses (and counting)
“Before working with Kiki I was making $5k a month drained as a teacher with a dead-end, soul-sucking side job hustle.”
We’ve been working together for 2 years (first in the Mastermind, now in Private Mentoring), and now I’m making $35K per month on my studio business with a steady $8K per month profit.
Next up: opening my second location of my luxury Pilates studio brand, coming next month!”
- Janine G, Owner & Trainer at XTP Pilates in Southern California
“I never would've made it through the pandemic without Kiki’s support.”
During our work together, I have gone from $4-12k months to steady $30K months + hitting my first ever $50k month.
I have mastered my messaging and flipped the switch about how I feel about marketing from ick & yuck to let's do this.
Thank you Kiki for helping me draw in more money than ever before and move toward my dream of helping my soul-aligned peeps on a deeper, bigger level.

This is why I created my signature 3-step method, The Embodied Leadership System, to help business owners ascend from the altitude of Doer-of-all-the-Do’s, People-Pleaser or Micro-manager to an Empowered CEO & Visionary Leader who can take large chunks of time away to rest, travel, spend quality time with their family or write their next book while their business(es)’ revenues continue to grow year-after year:
-
STEP ONE: GET EVERYONE IN THEIR ZONE OF BRILLIANCE WITH ALIGNED ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
…on both your to-do list and the job responsibilities of your Key Players with The Alignment Assessment Tool & The 4-Step Process for Empowered Conversations so you can get EVERYONE working in their zone of genius and moving at a pace that is fast, flowing and FUN.
-
STEP TWO: CREATE A SPARKLING COMPANY CULTURE
…that make for an Extraordinary Team Dynamic so you can start to take yourself out of the day-to-day and leave your business in the extremely capable hands of your rockstar contributors even if you’ve been burned by poor hires in the past.
-
STEP THREE: LEVEL UP YOUR ALTITUDE FROM DOER TO MANAGER TO CEO TO VISIONARY LEADER
Train up your team to be powerful administrators, customer service reps, practitioners, marketers and salespeople, and pare down your role to just 4 "job duties": Visionary Creatrix, Clear & Magnetic Communicator, Cash Flow Orchestrator & Powerful Decision-Maker, to 10x your efficiency + amplify your trust and intuition so you can feel well-regulated as you build wealth and make your moves.
Over and over again for a decade+, I’ve tested and perfected this process to help you build an organization that thrives whether you’re there or not, and it WORKS.
Client Results
-
“Working with Kiki was transformational in how I ran my business. I cut my delivery hours way down, had my highest sales revenues to date, and most importantly upgraded my ability to self manage my own energy around work.”
I used to find myself working around the clock causing stress, unable to focus outside of “work”, and only experience temporary enjoyment when I accomplished my goals.
So I’d say, while you can trust more money will come in, the biggest reason to hire Kiki is to reframe your boundaries so you can enjoy ALL of your life.
-Juliet C, Pilates Studio Owner and Business Coach for Women Entrepreneurs
-
“I signed up to work with Kiki because I knew I wanted to scale my marketing business but I couldn’t understand how to do that while maintaining a calm nervous system & spacious schedule.”
Our time together was focused and results-driven. She was a master at combining the emotional work I needed to do to begin to scale my business, and laying out the (often very simple) next action steps to see the results of my mindset shifts and vision upgrades.
- Leah M., Digital Communications & Marketing Strategist
-
“I've scaled my business from $150K per year in revenues to over $330K "
Since I started working with Kiki three + years ago, I’ve gone from working 40-50 hours a week to 18 while carving out a 6-figure salary.
I’ve scaled my business from $150K per year in revenues to over $330K, and we just had our best month ever at over $48K.
I take vacations without my device and enjoy yearly sabbaticals to work on theatrical productions while my team continues making sales, running the day-to-day and delivering client sessions.
Now I’ve tackled my biggest entrepreneurial endeavor yet: moving my studio to my dream location by the rive. We open next week!
-Heather F., Owner of Core Studio St. Paul
So this is what we’ll do together in
Private Leadership Mentoring
For multi-6 and 7-fig+ leaders ready to increase your profitability and build a truly extraordinary team that cares as much as you do so you can work as much or as little as you want, and take BIG chunks of time off each year to rest, travel, spend time with family, work on your next entrepreneurial endeavor and (eventually) SELL your business.

-
A private 60-minute Intensive at the beginning of each quarter, so you can crystallize your visions for the goals you want to play for both in your business and your personal life, and create a delightfully simple, streamlined and FOCUSED plan to get there
-
So you can share your wins and discoveries, and ask for feedback on your latest and greatest idea in real time via text or voice clip from a mentor who is 100% invested in your success and alignment
-

-
Many of my Private Clients are simultaneously working on their team, infrastructure HR and systems as we scale their revenues, so I’ve included this bonus for you so you can get an extra Group Q&A Call each month of the year (except July ) solely focused on that as well as membership in the EMBODIED BOSS Private Facebook Group
-
Once or twice a quarter I run a 14-30 day live group coaching container, focused on a particular hot topic. You’ll get access to all of them during your term. Recent short courses include LEAD GEN ON LOCK, Business Math for Mystics and $200K Offer: The 2-Week Minimind. Fun! ($5K+ value)
Let’s talk about your investment…
The truth is, if you DON’T invest in growing your skills as a leader and boss, your business will continue to feel chaotic and high on drama as it grows, which is EXHAUSTING for you, and will lead to loads of turnover on your team (also exhausting).
But the good news is: developing your skills as a leader and boss will INEVITABLY help increase your revenues, your confidence and your time freedom so you can create a life worth living outside of entrepreneurship that includes more rest, family and nature time as well as space in your calendar for uninterrupted creative flow.
Plus it’s going to get you the highest valuation possible so you can sell your business for even more than you dreamed.
So for my highest level Private clients who are so deeply invested in learning these skills, I offer three different containers of support:
12 Months of All-Inclusive Private Mentoring:
$50K PIF or $5K/month x 12
OR
6 Months of All-Inclusive Private Mentoring:
$28K PIF or $5555/month x 6
OR
Voxer-Only Private Mentoring (6 months or 12)
Prices vary from $2K+ to $2555/mo depending on term & payment option - DM or email Kiki for deliverables and details
This is PERFECT for you if…
You’re a leader of a small, mission-driven team of 2-50 employees are you’re ready to uplevel your hard AND soft leadership skills
You have secret dreams of launching another business and/or selling your current one (I will help you with both - this is my specialty)
Perhaps you’ve been expanding RAPIDLY, and you feel you can barely keep up as you continue to hire new team members and build out infrastructure and team mentorship to meet the extraordinary demand for your products and services
And/or you feel like your team’s support isn’t contributing in the way you thought it would (which means you’re still stuck doing tasks you really don’t want to be doing anymore)
Maybe you already have a big idea for how you want to expand, and you want my support in contract negotiations, accessing capital, debt management, payroll decisions, marketing runway, etc
Or you’re already in love with your offer suite and simply want to dial in what you’re doing to make it all work EVEN more efficiently and profitably (I call these types of Private Clients my “One-Degree Upgrade Clients”)
But I want to be clear, Private Leadership Mentoring won’t actually work well for you if…
You’re unwilling to work on your trust issues, because this kind of Visionary Leadership require a high level of trust in yourself, your guides AND your team, clients and audience
You’re committed to keeping a watchful eye on your team’s comings and goings, because ultimately you believe they need to be managed tightly in order to get the job done (don’t worry I’ll help you feel safe enough to let go of that inner micromanager)
You feel the only way to prove your worth as a leader is to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty so you can help your team solve every problem big and small. (We need you in your zone of genius, and doing all the things all the time is NOT IT)
You have a low risk tolerance (i.e. little access to capital and little willingness to use whatever capital you do have for expansion). If we’re going to work together you should know that my style of mentoring is NOT a quick fix or get-rich-quick scheme. It’s designed for slow, steady, sustainable growth that will serve you over the next several decades, so you’ll have to manage your emotions while the work is taking root and blossoming into something gorgeous.
Hi, I’m Kiki Lovelace (she/they)…
I’m a white, cisgendered woman of European descent, living on Ohlone Land in my beloved chosen home of Oakland, California.
I’m also a self-made millionaire, serial small business owner, Dream Home Owner, mom of 2, former Pilates Instructor & Forrest Yoga Guardian Mentor Teacher, longtime member of San Francisco’s 1960's Go-Go Dancing Sweethearts The Devil-Ettes, and an Embodied Leadership & Success Mentor to my6 and 7-fig+ entrepreneur clients.
I started playing with the magical art of Time Creation almost 11 years ago when I was pregnant and in hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, working 70-80 hour weeks building my Pilates & yoga studio business.
Now I work about 15 hours a week (three weeks of the month only), and spend most of that time helping my business owner clients build an extraordinary team that cares as much as they do so they can take time away to rest, travel, care for their family or work on their next creative project.
This is my dharma and my passion, and I’m damn freaking good at it. I’m thrilled you feel called to apply to work with me as your Leadership & Success Mentor.
F.A.Q’s
-
Good question. This program isn’t for Baby Entrepreneurs. Most of our clients have been at it for a number of years before they become a Private Client and they’ve already got the basics of offer creation, sales and marketing down pat. Sales are rolling in at this stage, and now the focus is more on team, infrastructure, systems and profitability as well as maintaining their creative spark and life force so they can expand to their next level of revenue and leadership
-
2-2.5 hours a month max. I’m super efficient and magical with time, so we won’t have to have lengthy conversations for you to get what you came for and achieve extraordinary results.
-
My clients are mostly in service-based industries such as wellness, coaching/consulting, education, entertainment and marketing, with 2-50 employees. They are often owners of multiple businesses or locations. Occasionally I serve entrepreneurs with 200 contributors or more.
But people are people, and every single business leader on the planet gets to a stage where team, systems, infrastructure and profitability become the main focus if they want to continue to grow.
So, to answer your question: YES, my signature method The Embodied Leadership System can support anyone moving through this phase of business growth.
-
Of course, playa! That’s my jam. It’s the world I’ve been living in for almost a decade and I know the highs and lows of rapid scaling more intimately than you can imagine.
-
I’m so sorry that’s happened to you. I’ve been there, and I know it can be a bitter pill to swallow.
And I also know becoming a more savvy investor takes time and experience. We all make mistakes along the path - it doesn’t mean you can’t trust your own intuition nor other people.
My support to you is to feel in your body if this is the right thing for you and ask your current coach/mentor for their advice instead of overthinking or asking a bunch of your non-entrepreneur friends.
I know you already know this but sometimes we need reminders:
Learning to trust yourself to take aligned action is one of the skills of a successful and effective leader and wealth creatrix so this may be yet another good opportunity for you to feel into how to do that for yourself with steadines and conviction.
-
Oooh, how fun!
YES I have 4 different options for 2-Week Private Mentoring packages, as well as in-person VIP Days here in Northern California if you prefer to work intensively all in one day.
All are quite customizable.
DM me on the socials or email me at kiki@kikilovelace.com and tell me your goals for the next 3-6 months are so I can get a sense of how I may be able to help you in a results-oriented, short-term capacity.
