2026 Update

"The coaches losing money on ads right now aren't bad at business. They're running a 2024 playbook in a 2026 world."
— MARQUEL RUSSELL

What This Is
The Two Days
Complete your prework and you'll have your Business Manager, ad account, pixel, and payment method set up before Day 1 starts ... so we start at strategy, not tech support.

STRATEGY + ASSET PREP
The Paid Traffic Mindset: why smart coaches lose money on ads and how to think differently ... so you're making decisions from a place of clarity, not fear
Avatar Precision: get crystal clear on exactly who you're targeting before we spend a dollar ... so every dollar you put in is aimed at the right person, not wasted finding out
Campaign Architecture: map out the full campaign structure before we touch the ads manager ... so Day 2 is a build, not a guessing session
Creative Direction: write your hooks, ad copy, and creative brief together, live ... so you walk into Day 2 knowing exactly what to build and why
Asset Lock: leave Day 1 with your copy written, creative direction clear, and everything ready to launch ... so Day 2 is all execution, no prep

LOG IN + LAUNCH
Overnight wins: quick review and open Q&A before we build ... so nothing slows down the launch
Live build: log in to the ads manager together and build your campaigns using everything from Day 1 ... so you've built it yourself and know you can do it again
Final review: one last look before anything goes live ... so you're pressing go with confidence, not hope
Press go: your ads launch live on this call, together ... so you leave the workshop with a running paid traffic system, not homework
Reading the data: how to interpret your first 48–72 hours ... so you don't panic, touch the wrong things, or kill a campaign before it has a chance to work
This Is Built For You If.
This is not a "starter" event. This is for coaches and consultants who have real clients, real results, and a real offer and are ready to pour fuel on it.
You're a coach or consultant doing $10K–$100K+ per month and you want to add a predictable, scalable lead source... not another tactic that depends on you showing up every day
You have something to drive traffic to a sales call funnel, a webinar, a challenge, a live event, a low-ticket offer page. If people can land somewhere and take action, you're ready.
You have a proven offer with clients who get real results... you just need qualified people in front of it consistently
You've never run ads and you're done avoiding it... you're ready to finally stop wondering what it would look like if you just ran them
You've run ads before but didn't get the results you wanted... and you're ready to rebuild the system the right way instead of guessing again
You're done depending on referrals, organic, or your own energy as the primary growth engine
You want to own your lead generation... not hand off the most important part of your business to an agency

Your Facilitators
Marquel has spent 15+ years helping coaches and consultants build businesses that don't depend on their constant presence. He built and scaled an 8-figure coaching company. As founder of the Strategic Scale Institute and an Inc. 5000 entrepreneur, paid ads have been one of the primary engines behind everything he's built.
Over the past 3 years, he's personally invested over $4 million of his own money into Meta ads ... not managing client budgets, but refining the process with his own dollars. He's outperformed every agency he's hired. He's taken complete beginners from zero to running profitable campaigns.
And here's the thing: Marquel doesn't even call himself an ads expert. He's a business builder who mastered paid traffic because his growth demanded it. That distinction matters. You're not learning from someone who lives in dashboards. You're learning from someone who thinks exactly like you, and cracked this anyway.

Marquel is joined by a hand-selected paid ads specialist who has managed millions in ad spend specifically for coaches and consultants at the 6 and 7-figure level. Their full name and bio go out to registered attendees before Day 1. What we'll say now: this is not a generalist. This is someone who lives and breathes lead generation for exactly the kind of business you're building. Two perspectives. Zero theory.

Questions
Yes. This workshop is about installing a paid traffic system onto an existing funnel. Whether that's a sales call funnel, webinar, challenge, live event, or low ticket offer, you need to have something up and running that we can drive traffic to.
If you don't have a funnel yet, that's the thing to build first. Come back when it's live and we'll pour fuel on it together.
No... and this is one of the biggest myths that keeps people from starting. We launch with static image ads. No video required. Static ads are actually faster to test, cheaper to produce, and for this avatar they convert extremely well. Video is a later-stage optimization.
We start with what works and what you can launch in two days, not what sounds impressive.
That's exactly who this is built for. The prework modules walk you through your entire setup from scratch. Business Manager, ad account, pixel, payment method... before Day 1 even starts. If you know how to get on a Zoom call or send an email, you can do this.
It's simpler than you think when you have the right guidance and the right strategy. We've taken people who had never touched an ad account and had them running campaigns by end of Day 2.
You can start with as little as $10–$20 a day. That's less than most people spend on coffee, subscriptions, or things they don't think twice about. The goal in the first two weeks isn't to spend big... it's to get data.
You need to know what's working before you scale. We'll walk you through exactly what budget to start with, how to read your numbers, and when to increase spend based on what the data tells you.
Yes... if you show up and do the work. Complete the prework before Day 1, show up to both sessions, and follow the process. There is no reason your ads can't be live by the time we close out Day 2. We've designed the entire two days around one outcome: you leaving with live campaigns running.
The only thing that stops that from happening is not doing the prework or not showing up. Do both and you're launching. Period. And if you're not fully satisfied with what you learned, email us within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
Don't create a new account. Meta flags that and can ban both. The right move is to go to Account Quality inside your Business Manager and submit an appeal. For new accounts, restrictions are usually just an identity verification request, not an actual ban.
It typically resolves within 24–48 hours. If you're dealing with this before Day 1, email our support team and we'll help you navigate it. Don't let a temporary restriction stop you from registering... these are almost always fixable.
No, the prework module walks you through setting up your Business Manager, ad account, pixel, and payment method from scratch if needed. We just ask that you complete it before Day 1 so we can hit the ground running.
Yes. Your $97 registration covers you, and we encourage you to bring a team member, VA, or operations person so they get trained live.
You understand the strategy, they own the execution going forward. That's one of the most powerful ways to use this workshop.
We'll be working in Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ads. It's where your audience is, it has the most mature targeting infrastructure, and it's the platform that gives coaches the fastest path to qualified leads at this level.
Yes. You'll have 30-day access to the recordings after the event. That said, showing up live is where the magic happens.
The ability to get your questions answered in real time, get your campaigns reviewed live, and press go together is what makes this different from a course. Platinum members get lifetime access.
Immediately. The moment you register you'll receive a welcome email with your prework module. We recommend completing it within 48 hours so you have plenty of time to get any tech questions resolved before Day 1.
Your Investment
You're getting two days of live, hands-on ads implementation with an Inc. 5000 founder who's personally invested over $4 million of his own money into Meta ads... refining the process, outperforming every agency he's hired, and building one of the fastest-growing coaching businesses in America doing it. An agency would charge you $3K–$5K/month for less. A course would charge you $997–$2,000 and leave you to figure it out alone.

Prework checklist: so we start at strategy, not tech support. Your time is valuable. This is how we protect it.

Our Guarantee
Why are we willing to do that? Because we're not getting rich off $97 event tickets. We get rich by being so good that people want to go deeper with us afterward. That's how it's always worked. And we're confident enough in what we deliver that we don't need to hold your money hostage to prove it.
The only requirement: show up to both days and actually do the work. If you don't complete the prework, don't show up, or don't participate, that's not on us. But if you're all in and still don't feel it was worth it? Say so. We'll handle it immediately.
This is important to know: I'm not getting rich off $97 event tickets. The way I built what I've built is by being so good that people wanted to work with me at a much higher level afterward. And I think the track record speaks for itself.
