a coach who believes in you, 100%
It is my SUPERPOWER to see amazing potential in people and helping them own it and stepping into it. I will cheer you on and I am here every single step of the way. The highs and the lows. The wins and the throwing the computer out of the window moments too. Nothing makes me more proud and happy than seeing my clients make it happen!
what happy clients say
Paulien helped me build a real business from what seemed to be just a dream. What really helped me putting my plan together is Paulien’s eye for opportunities and ideas that will help build a profitable business and get the most out of your products. She knows from experience that putting yourself and your products out there is scary. Her step by step approach makes the process less intimidating and a lot of fun. Paulien is very supportive and knows when to push you and when to give you time. She will always try to figure out what’s holding you back or gives you tons of energy. This has been very valuable for me during the process of building my business.
Paulien really cares about your development, as a person and as a business. Her knowledge, but even more so her personal guidance and structured coaching (with easy tools and worksheets) will for sure help you get to a higher level in your business. Paulien’s coaching is múch more than just online marketing. I thought we’d cover that, but what I found (and didn’t know I needed) is very comprehensive business coaching. Working with Paulien helped me achieve what I had been trying to achieve myself for 5 years. The coaching helped me break free from my own chaotic way of thinking and my ineffective daily habits. My business is growing again, and I enjoy working in and on my business again. I am a better entrepreneur now, but above all a happier person! Thanks Paulien, I hope we will be working together for a long time!

is this program right for me?
This program is not for everyone!
The Make It Happen Program is PERFECT for you if:
You are a purpose-driven entrepreneur with either products or services that you want to market and sell online.
You are still new to the online world
You are a solopreneur and you want to learn how things work (although you plan to outsource in the future)
You are excited (and a bit scared) to step outside your comfort zone and do the work.
You are looking for a combination of mindset work, strategy and implementation
You like working with an intuitive coach, who will help you find the best approach for YOUR specific business & personality.
The Make It Happen Program is NOT for you if:
Your main goal in business is to make tons of money, and you don’t care about what you sell or who you impact.
You have a local / brick and mortar business or an offline business, without a website.
You want to outsource all your marketing and sales a.s.a.p.
You are very confident / type-A and/ or you prefer a very structured coaching approach. Sorry, that’s just not me!
You want a coach to tell you exactly what to do, or you want your coach to do the work FOR you.
frequently asked questions
How does the Academy work?
Weekly new content will be released, according to the schedule mentioned above. Bi-weekly group calls will take place, and the replays will be available. You will be able to ask your questions in advance, even if you cannot join the call.
How will we work 1-on-1?
Why does the program take 6 months? Why not shorter?
Building a business is complex! There are SO many moving parts to making is a success. With my experience as a CEO, I can help you set up a business that is ready for spectacular growth. That takes time and effort. It’s my experience that my clients need about 6 to 9 months to get real and lasting results, and I want to help my clients succeed, that’s why I do what I do!
Also, I’ve seen many online programs that promise support in a shorter period, but they either a. are not comprehensive, or b. lack implementation.
I don’t want to promise quick results, I want to make sure I teach you everything you need to know so you will be able to get REAL and LONGLASTING results. And that takes time!
How much time will I need to dedicate to the program?
So glad you ask! Working on this program will be working on your business. The more effort you will put into the program, the more extraordinary your results will be. I recommend you set aside at least 8 to 16 hours per week for the program. This is an investment in your business and the more time you spend on it, the more your business will profit, and the faster you will earn your investment back!
What are the payment terms?
You can choose to pay in advance and get a discount, or you can pay per month.
Can I access all the content at once?
New content will be released monthly according to the monthly schedule. The content will contain videos, worksheets and assignments that you can directly apply to your business.
Once the content is released, you will be able to access it as long as you are a member.
What topics will this program NOT cover?
- Launching. My approach is based on an evergreen approach, where a steady flow of new customers comes in and not on massive launches.
- Technical systems support. Although I can help you with technical questions, you will need to contact suppliers directly with any technical issues.
- Twitter & LinkedIn & smaller platforms like SnapChat or Twitch.
- Webinars. We will cover funnels that include webinars, but not the actual art of making sales through a webinar.
- Offline Marketing & Sales / Brick n Mortar businesses
What if I don't get results?
If you are super motivated and you do the work, you will get results, 100%. You just have to believe in yourself!
What happens after the program?
I’d be delighted to help you continue your business growth, for example with one of my monthly coaching packages. Or I can create a custom made package for you!
