Dexter is a knowledgeable coach leveraging his extensive product knowledge to inspire senior professionals to launch consultancies and build a portfolio career. I discovered Dexter through his newsletter, sharing tips and stories every Sunday about pivoting from "live to work" to "work to live." He also offers 1:1 coaching, where I found a lot of value refining my big “why” and roadmap.

Dexter's course is a mini-bible for anyone who is looking to launch their portfolio careers. Before joining the course, I had so many questions on how I could start a side hustle, how to find my first client, and many more. His course is a step-by-step approach that you can easily follow. The exercises make you put on your thinking hat and take action. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to launch a side hustle. Life is short. Make the best use of it.

I managed to secure a few clients during the 6 week course, which I'm delighted about. I've been wanting to start a side-hustle for some time but never got around to making it happen. This course was exactly what I needed. It gave me the structure I needed to define and refine my offer, validate it, look for clients, and more. On top of that, the weekly sessions and accountability buddy system helped keep the momentum going - always great vibes with a group of like-minded people whom I hope to stay in touch :) After taking the course, I have way more clarity on what my side-hustle is and how to go about building and scaling it. Thanks so much for your support!

Before the course, I had something inside of me tugging at me to become an entrepreneur, but I didn't think I could provide value in any of the areas that interested me. Within the first week of the course, I had an “aha!” moment when I identified my ideal client profile and realized that they had a number of pain points that I could resolve with my expertise. From there, my goal was to build a roadmap of actions I could slowly take, while balancing full-time work and family demands. After graduating this course, I feel that I have a long-term roadmap that I can execute to land my first clients and grow this business at my own pace.

I'm an ex-Big Tech employee who wanted to explore a Fractional role and I secured my first client during the cohort. I already followed Dexter on Linkedin and aspired to his lifestyle. So I signed up for the Launchpad cohort. It was comprehensive, providing me a step-by-step structure on how to frame my offer, including looking for my target clients and executing on it. The weekly office hours also helped me with asking questions about real life experiences.

I was able to upsell a service based on the strategies we learnt in the course! When I started, I wasn't sure which project to work on and how to get started. Dexter really goes out of his way to help us work out what we can do better and untangle the knots we're facing. 

I loved the bite-sized "theory" videos and detailed workbooks that helped me to process my ideas into actionable items. The workbooks highlighted blind spots or challenges, which we discussed during the office hours. Loved working alongside others who were also in a similar journey.
