Smart Coach and my coach Jessica Jovanovich are absolutely amazing. I became a business and life coach at 50 as a fourth career change in my life. I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs to release blocks and overcome obstacles to abundance and dream levels of success, but I needed some help building my business and launching it. I treated myself to the Smart Coach Spark program and thank my lucky stars that I got partnered with my coach, Jessica Jovanovich who has become my guardian angel. I could not have done anything I've done in this program without her support and guidance. She is the most patient, kind, caring, supportive and lovely person and has really encouraged me so much throughout. The program is amazing and really takes you through how to set up your business completely. Everyone from my sales agent Natalie to Ross and Jess on the videos and DM's in Instagram, to the community inside of the program on Slack has been a tremendous source of support, inspiration, guidance, information and positivity. From formulating my business and niche to all the marketing and sales materials, to going live on Instagram I have experienced so much growth and accomplished so much. And, again Jessica has been there every step of the way with me. She is a master class in empathy, encouragement, compassion and coaching. I can only hope to offer my clients the same level of support and kindness that she has given to me. I cannot recommend Smart Coach and specifically Jessica Jovanovich highly enough.
I wanted to give 4.5 stars but it wouldn’t let me, 4 feels too low, but charging us way more than is necessary just to make more money is why I couldn’t give 5. The price is definitely high, and somewhat unreasonable in my opinion, but that’s just about the only negative thing I have to say about Smart Coach. The program has been really really helpful for teaching me how to do all of the business/ marketing stuff that I had no clue about before. I think the curriculum is really good, interesting and informative. I love my coach Lindsey, she’s amazing and has been really helpful. They do want you to pay for extra things during the program like other companies services for various things so just be prepared that there are some additional costs associated. I don’t think all of them are necessary but you can see what works for you. It’s definitely a journey and it can be tough at times but I’m really glad that I made the decision to give my coaching a full send and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them. I’m into the ROI and have not made my money back, but now I know that I can even if it might take longer, but that’s okay. They gave me the structure and all the tutorials that I needed to really get me set up as an online coach and I’m super grateful for that.
First of all Keara is stellar! She has helped me get clarity about my coaching offer, how to value the knowledge and talents I possess to unapologetically price my services. Together we brain storm, we tackle SO much in little time and I am so grateful for her. Thank you for all the work you do and for being such a wonderful coach.
This program has been such a powerful investment in myself—one that truly combined the inner growth I was already moving through with the real, practical strategy that I so desperately needed! Yes, it was a lot at times—but in the best way. It was the kind of “this is a lot” that’s actually helping you build these passions and dreams of yours to life :) I went from 200 followers to 8.5K+ in just two months through the mindset shifts and the business, marketing, and content support inside the program. I now have people consistently reaching out to me to work with me, and I know I’m just getting started. I’m so grateful for everything—the community, the learnings, the support, and especially my coach, Keara. As someone with ADHD and another full-time job, I felt so seen and supported. She helped me stay on track, really worked with me and my needs, and cheered me on every step of the way as I gained traction, connected with warm leads on Instagram, and grew in my confidence with sales. Thank you, Keara! I feel so much more confident navigating entrepreneurship, and I’m growing in my sales knowledge every day. I fully trust that I’ll make my ROI— and that even more amazing growth is on the way.
I am into the program more and all I can say is wow!!! I have learned so much, I have gained so much more confidence. I am really seeing the value in myself and what I offer clients. The confidence is showing and I am getting sales calls scheduled, closing deals, and can see this is actually working.
Smartcoach has been an amazing experience thus far! They provide so many resources for success and put so much into what they provide for their clients. My coach (Lindsey) has really helped me to be confident in the business route i chose (i was going back and forth between 2 niches) and has been so responsive when needing support!
Smart Coach delivered everything I needed to launch my coaching business from zero. The content is substantive, the guidance on systems and funnel setup is genuinely actionable, and the community kept me moving when I hit friction. My coach Lindsay was a huge part of this! Our weekly chats helped me think through every stage of the build. I’m leaving the program having hit my ROI, grown my Instagram from 0 to 2,500 followers, and booked 3 clients. If you’re serious about launching a coaching business, this program gives you the playbook and the support to actually execute on it.
Working with Smart Coach has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my online business. From the start, I’ve felt supported every single day. The level of resources they provide is incredible, everything is high value and actually applicable. It’s not just about strategy, it’s about focusing on what truly moves the needle, and that shift alone has completely changed the way I approach my business. Within the first 10 days of applying the strategies, I booked my first 4 high-ticket clients- something I honestly didn’t think would happen that fast. A big part of my experience has been working with Keara. We’ve had weekly calls since I started, and that consistency has made a huge difference. She’s incredibly supportive, understands me, and always meets me where I’m at. She doesn’t just give advice, she gives me clear alternatives and direction so I can keep moving forward with confidence. The level of accountability in this program is unmatched. It’s pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way possible, but at the same time, having Keara there has made the process feel simple and manageable. If you’re serious about growing your business, this is it.
Let me start off with I think Jess and Ross and my coach Meleah are all really great people and I absolutely respect them. But its been a year since I left Smart Coach and now that I've been in other mentorships, I see A LOT of issues with this program and think I wasted a lot of time and money here. The modules are great and they did a great job of explaining how to literally start your business (how to open LLC, what bank to use, etc.) This was very useful to me at the time. However a lot of info was very generalized. They don't even teach TOF, MOF, or BOF with content.. they teach you to "mirror" other high performing content rather than teaching you how to create good content yourself. The same goes for Ads. They didn't actually have any strategy here other than copying other high performing ads. They literally couldn't tell me anything whenever I asked the data behind what makes a high performing ad (my new mentorship explains this WAY better and I can tell they actually track their data). They also told me I was ready for the higher level version of their program like 3 months after I started my business and then they couldn't actually help me scale at all and I ran out of money and had to leave the program. My coach was a dating coach and I am a fitness coach. Again I think she's an awesome person but now in retrospect, I got a lot of really bad advice that I believe set me back (like telling me to charge $5k and then when I asked Ross for advice he was like why are you charging $5k!? you should be charging 3k- so my direct coach didn't even know my market). I am now currently in another mentorship and the level that this mentorship is at made me realize Smart Coach was kind of scammy. They post so much about "building a business should be easy" and I really think they undersell how difficult building a business actually is. It feels like they sell a dream. And it wasn't until I understood the REALITY of what it takes for me to turn my business around. Also they have some stats posted that when you go and do the math on them, their average client makes way less than $10k/month. Like I said, I think they are good people and have good intentions and I do like them a lot as people. And it's great if you need to know the step by step of getting started. But honestly I feel pretty burned by this experience now seeing what other mentorships look like. *** in response to your reply: You do realize that $15k over 3 months is only $5k per month right? Yall advised me to do uplevel from that revenue which uplevel was $2k or $2.5k a month when only making $5k + was advised to spend another $1k on ads per month. I was NOT able to leave my in person job bc of this not sure why are you claiming that in your response. Not to mention most of my income was from moving my clients I already had into my program so your method did not help me. And I did follow EXACTLY What you recommended. I was so excited about it I seriously spent 8+ hours a day AFTER working my training job I already had watching and rewatching your modules, attending calls, and trying to put your method in place. Teaching “mirroring” without teaching clients about how to create content on their own that works just tells me yall either don’t know how to create content that works or you just gatekeep that. After experiencing numerous other mentors, and trust me there are MANY people inside of these mentorship’s that all were burned by their experience with yall and they all agree, yall don’t teach anything that helps coaches learn how to do things themselves. It’s literally just “mirror what someone who is already successful does for content then send a ton of cold outreach”. Yall are literally the only program still advising cold DMs which every other coaching program out there says that’s the WORST thing you can do.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and we genuinely appreciate the kind words about our team. We are honestly a little sad to be reading this given what we felt was a really successful working relationship, but we want to respond openly because some of this deserves context for anyone reading. During your time in Spark you generated $15,200 in tracked revenue in 90 days, going from training at a gym to running your own business, and you added another $16,000 in Uplevel afterward within just the first half of the program. That is a significant result and it is also the clearest evidence that the strategies and information we teach work. You applied them and they produced real revenue. We are proud of the work you did to get there. On the content feedback, what we teach is not copying. It is an outlier strategy, finding outlier ideas (content that performed disproportionately well in your market) and applying your own voice and message to them (since people are highly interested in that topic). This is the same approach used by nearly every top operator and content creator out there, including operators you mentioned admiring like Alex and Leila Hormozi, Andrew Huberman, and others. Frameworks like TOF MOF BOF are built for ecom and larger businesses that need that structure to capture more market at scale. For coaches building to their first six or seven figures, it is overkill and usually adds complexity without adding revenue. Our philosophy is simple on purpose. Scale comes from finding one or two things that work and repeating them, not from layering more complex strategies. On ads specifically, your campaigns were booking calls. The gap was on the closing side and with a setter who was not following the process, and ads were paused multiple times when budget ran low. We were also asked for exact ad copy and audiences to replicate, and that is not something anyone can deliver reliably because results depend on your offer, your script, and your sales skill. What we did do was help you research outlier ad angles and ideas in your market and develop your own ads from them, which is the same process we use across the program. We also moved you to Uplevel because the results warranted it. In your exit form, you also specifically ask about how you can continue working with us for longer to which we suggested Uplevel given your fast growth. You were growing very fast and wanted to continue that speed of growth. The next logical stage was to get more traffic using ads. If the timing felt off in hindsight we hear that, and it is fair feedback we take seriously. Building a business is not easy. We always aim to under promise and over deliver. But the numbers you generated with us were significant for a new business owner, and we wish you the best in what you are building next and are glad you have found something you are excited about. Wishing you the most success.
My coach Keara is amazing! She always knows exactly how to answer my questions, and her advice is spot on. Recently, she advised me to do a specific reel with a specific hook, and that reel has had over 30,000 views and has gotten me over 700 followers. In my small niche this is very significant. I started the program at 200 followers and I now have almost 1500. This has increased my credibility and has led to improved engagement and sales.
I can’t say enough good things about this program and particularly, my coach, Laryssa. I have felt totally supported and challenged from day 1 and am grateful for my decision to take this leap. Laryssa has helped me take my coaching business from zero (and I do mean that, I started at zero) and quickly grow it to $10k months in a very short amount of time. I feel confident in what I’m doing and excited for what’s to come!
I will be honest… I didn’t get clients in until over 3 months. That was super rough. However, my coach stuck with me and by month 4 I was booking clients!! This program pushed me outside my comfort zone which is necessary to grow your business. It gave me such a solid foundation to build upon. If you show up and do the work it will work for you!
I started the program only 4 weeks ago, and before I even finished watching the modules I landed my first client! And I have three in the pipeline. The team at Smart Coach is so supportive and the information you learn is so well rounded it’s impossible to not find success if you do what they tell you. Next stop, up level!
I had a great experience with Smart Coach. It was an investment but one that I believe was truly worth it. I learned so much from my coach, shout to Lindsey and felt fully supported during the program. I know the content is something that I will come back to for refreshers when needed.
I originally joined because I needed help learning how to market myself, but what I gained went far beyond that. Before this, I struggled not only with marketing, but with the confidence to put myself out there. I would overthink what to say, second guess myself, and honestly didn’t even know where to start when it came to things like managing and finding my cold DMs. I’m also Gen X and didn’t grow up with this kind of technology, so a lot of it felt overwhelming at first. What really stood out was how much my coach supported me through all of it. There were moments where I felt stuck or unsure, and she took the time to walk me through things step by step—like helping me navigate exactly where to go to find and manage my cold DMs, and making sure I actually understood what I was doing. Because of that, I not only learned the strategy, but I also feel so much more confident using the tools and putting myself out there. I never felt like I was doing this alone. I felt guided, supported, and pushed in a way that helped me grow without feeling overwhelmed. Now, I feel more confident showing up, communicating my message, and marketing myself in a way that feels authentic to me. This experience wasn’t just about learning marketing—it was about building confidence and becoming someone who actually takes action. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, not tech-savvy, or unsure how to put yourself out there, having the right coach makes all the difference—and this experience truly delivers.
Love working with them- they really have helped get my coaching business past multiple bottlenecks and are the real deal!! Their system is simple but actually scalable. I’ve done a lot of coaching… and none has gotten results as fast as with Smart Coach.
I've been a coach for more than 7 years and nothing worked to make my business profitable until I invested in Smart Coach! Laryssa showed me how to make my coaching practice successful and I'm so grateful
You know what’s crazy is I actually did not make my money back from this program (yet) but I still 100% think this was a great decision and investment. I learned so much and truly do feel like I have the skills and tools to meet my business goals. The support really was amazing and I’m very grateful for Lindsey R, who I wish I had more time with. If you are willing to do the work, this program will give you everything you need to achieve your goals, even if it’s not on the timeline you had originally expected. I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I would have been on my own. I am sad to say goodbye honestly.
SmartCoach wants to see you succeed and they stand by you till you do. Through ups and downs my coach Lindsey has met me where I am and given advice for how to make moves towards making my passion project a reality.
