Chapter One · Watch
What a license actually gives you.
Six minutes of the ceiling problem, named plainly — and what changes when the diagnosis you already do well gets handed to the client as an instrument they can run without you.
The Partner Door · Coach Nic DC
Read this if it sounds like you
What it feels like right now
- Revenue stops the moment your calendar stops. Every month starts at zero.
- You diagnose brilliantly and then hand the client a deck they never open again.
- You have built the same spreadsheet for the eleventh client and you are still maintaining it.
- You are competing on rate because you have nothing proprietary to point at.
What you actually want
- Recurring revenue that does not require you to be in a room.
- A proven methodology with a name behind it, instead of a deck you rebuilt from scratch.
- Engagements that continue after the contract, because the client is still running the instrument.
- To stop building tooling and go back to coaching.
What is stopping you
- You have been burned by a certification that turned out to be a logo and a PDF.
- You are not building a help desk, and you will not answer database questions at ten at night.
- You cannot lose a quarter to learning somebody else's system.
- You need to know the revenue split before you get on a call, not after.
All four are answered in print in Chapter Four — before you ever speak to me.
Chapter Two · How it works
Five steps, and none of them are a surprise on the call.
This is the whole partnership. Read it here so the conversation we have later is about your book of business, not about mechanics.
Coach Nic walks the five steps of how the partnership actually runs.
STEP ONEYou pick your capacity, not your risk
Plans are sized by how many client workspaces you want live at once — not by territory, not by a revenue minimum, and not by a headcount you have to hit before the share unlocks.
That matters because it scales with your book instead of against it. You are never paying for capacity you have not filled, and you are never blocked from filling more.
STEP TWOThe instrument stays Coach Nic DC — and that is deliberate
Let me be straight with you, because you will find this out anyway. This is not a white label. The instruments carry my branding, the way QuickBooks carries theirs no matter who is sitting across the table from the client. I am not removing my name from my own methodology.
What you get instead is a system with twenty-nine years and 3,600 entrepreneurs standing behind it. Your client is not being handed anonymous software you assembled last quarter — they are being handed a recognized instrument, by you. The relationship stays yours. The credibility comes built in.
STEP THREEYou keep 70% of the subscription, recurring
Your clients subscribe at standard pricing and 70% of it is yours, every month, for as long as they stay. Not a referral fee. Not a one-time bounty. A share of the subscription itself.
This is the first revenue in your practice that does not require you to be in a room. Chapter Three computes exactly what it looks like against your real client count.
STEP FOURTechnical support is mine, not yours
Your client raises a ticket and my team answers it directly. You are not building a help desk, hiring for one, or answering questions about a database at ten at night — and you are not the one apologizing when a server has a bad morning.
You keep the coaching relationship. I keep the software running. Those are two different jobs, and you did not get into this to do the second one.
STEP FIVEOnboarding is measured in days
You already know the diagnostic work — that is why you are on this page. What you are learning is the instrument, and the instrument was built to be taught.
Onboarding covers your first client workspace, your account setup, and running the methodology end to end on a live business. Most partners have a real client inside the system in the first week.
SAID PLAINLYWho this does not work for
Anyone looking for passive income. I would rather say that here than let you discover it ninety days in.
This multiplies a practice. It does not create one. If you do not have a book of clients yet, build the book first and come back — the offer will still be here.
And if the deciding factor is putting your own logo on the software, this is the wrong program and I would rather say so now.
Chapter Three · Model your book
Put your real numbers in. This is your revenue, not an example.
Every figure below is computed live from what you enter — these are your numbers, not a price list. Your clients subscribe at standard pricing and you keep 70% of it, recurring, for as long as they stay. We set the actual tiers on the call. Move the sliders and watch what happens to the part of your business that does not depend on your calendar.
Businesses you have running an instrument, billed through your partner account.
Your assumption, not my price list. Set it where you think your clients land — we confirm the actual tier on the call.
Instruments extend retention because the client keeps using them after the engagement ends.
The part most licensing pages leave out
This is license revenue only. It does not include your coaching fees, which continue exactly as they do today — the instrument does not replace the engagement, it outlives it. And it does not net out your plan cost, which is sized to how many workspaces you want live. We set that together on the call, because the right plan depends on your book and I am not going to guess at it on a web page.
Chapter Four · Your questions
Answered here, in print, before the call.
If any answer below is not what you wanted to hear, that is useful too. I would rather you knew now.
How does the revenue share actually work?
Your clients subscribe at standard pricing. You keep 70% of it, recurring, for as long as that client stays subscribed. It is not a referral fee and it is not a one-time bounty — it is a share of the subscription, month after month.
You are not required to hit a minimum, and there is no territory. Your plan is sized by how many client workspaces you want live at once, so it scales with your book rather than against it.
Whose brand do my clients see?
Mine — and I am going to be straight with you about why. This is not a white label. The instruments stay Coach Nic DC branded, the same way QuickBooks stays QuickBooks regardless of which advisor put it in front of the client.
I am not removing my name from my own methodology, and you should be suspicious of anyone who offers to remove theirs. A system nobody will stand behind by name is a system nobody is maintaining.
What stays yours is the part that matters: the client, the relationship, the coaching, and the revenue. I am not in that room and I do not want to be.
Then what am I actually getting, if not my own brand on it?
Three things you cannot build yourself in a reasonable amount of time.
A methodology with a track record. Twenty-nine years and more than 3,600 entrepreneurs. When you walk in with it, you are not asking a client to trust a framework you invented — you are bringing something with a name behind it.
Software you never maintain. No build cost, no hosting, no roadmap, no support desk, and no version you are quietly responsible for when it breaks.
Recurring revenue. 70% of every subscription, month after month, arriving whether or not you took a session. That is the line that changes a practice into an asset.
What does technical support actually look like?
It is mine, not yours. Your client raises a ticket and my team answers it directly, on a system that already carries my name. You are not building a help desk, you are not hiring for one, and you are not answering questions about a database at ten at night.
You keep the coaching relationship. I keep the software running. Those are two different jobs and you did not get into this to do the second one.
How much setup and training am I signing up for?
Days, not months. You already know the diagnostic work — that is why you are on this page. What you are learning is the instrument, and the instrument was built to be taught.
Onboarding covers your partner account, your first client workspace, and running the methodology end to end on a live business. Most partners have a real client inside the system in the first week.
What happens to my existing clients?
They become your first workspaces. That is usually the fastest path to a return — the people who already trust you, already have a diagnosed gap, and have been asking what happens after the engagement ends.
Who should not do this?
Anyone looking for passive income. This is not that, and I will say so plainly rather than let you find out ninety days in.
This works for a practitioner who already has clients and is tired of the ceiling. If you do not have a book yet, build the book first. The license multiplies a practice; it does not create one.
Chapter Five · Knowledge Check
Six questions. Eighty percent to pass.
Nobody signs a license they cannot explain. Every answer is in Chapter Two or Chapter Four.
