Dissertation.
A full year. Fully committed. The deepest work 3GD does.
Not a website build. Not a retainer. A twelve month coaching program for you, your business, and the systems running both. One operating system you own at the end.
The strategy is not the problem. You are.
You are working harder than ever and still running in place. The website is fine. The offer is good. Something is still stuck.
The block is almost never the marketing. It is the patterns driving your decisions and the blind spots no agency will name. Dissertation makes it the job.
Performing on the outside. Running on empty inside.
Half of businesses do not reach year five. Mentored ones do better.

A link, not a guarantee. The 70% figure is about mentoring, and your result depends on the work you put in.
The Syllabus.
Your nervous system runs your business. The Syllabus follows the four phases of the Mind.Body.Soul™ method Rachel built, across seven Pulses. Tap a phase to see its months.
Not a course. Not a call series. A partnership, worked monthly.
Every month moves the same three ways, so you always know what it asks of you.
Some months add a milestone, like the VIP Day or the Photoshoot.
Two exams, one transformation.
The same assessment at the start and the end, so the change is measured, not assumed.
The difference between them is your year, on the record.
The Diploma.
Dissertation ends with The Diploma, a strategic document that captures every move across the year and why it mattered. You graduate owning the playbook.

The final number is confirmed in a real conversation, scoped to what your business needs. Pay in full or monthly. Twelve month agreement, both partners in the work.
Most agencies sell you a site and call it done. We sell you a partnership. The difference shows up in month three, month twelve, month thirty-six.
Common questions, real answers.
A Program is ongoing monthly support after launch. Dissertation is a twelve month coaching program for the owner and the business together, built on The Syllabus. It goes deeper than any retainer, into the patterns and systems running underneath the work.
Both partners are in the work directly, so we only accept owners we can run at full depth and who are ready to commit to the whole year. The application and a real conversation tell both sides if the fit is right.
Our framework: seven Pulses worked in sequence across four phases: Awareness, Alignment, Integration, and Transformation. Each Pulse is a zone where stress builds and performance breaks down. The sequence follows how the nervous system settles, so the architecture repeats while the result is individual.
The same seven Pulse assessment at the start and the end. The Entrance Exam sets your baseline. The Final Exam shows how far you moved.
Yes. A full site Build can sit inside the year, priced on the same tiers as everywhere else at 3GD and placed in the phase where it does the most good. Not every business needs one, so it is a separate path.
Dissertation and Dissertation plus Build each start at a clear price. The final number is confirmed in a real conversation, scoped to your business, not guessed.
Apply, then have a real conversation with us. If the fit is right, you take the Entrance Exam and the year begins. If not, we say so and point you to the Program that does fit.
Two partners.
One real conversation.
