The philosophy
Built on the 100k playbook
The community follows "Your Own Thing", the 100k playbook from pem.academy: a sustainable practice is a calibration of three variables on a single page.
Price
What one hour, one session or one package costs, including your own time and risk.
Workload
How many clients you can serve well without burning out, and how much of your calendar is protected.
Income model
One-off sessions, packages, retainers, groups or products, and how they add up to $8,300 a month.
- Narrow niche, systematic promotion, no paid ads.
- Solo, or solo plus one or two assistants. No team to manage.
- Written self-assessment over motivation: what works, what doesn't, and why.
Who it's for
Independent experts who sell their own expertise
Any solo practice that lives on your skill and reputation. You work alone or with one or two assistants at most.
Not for agencies, product startups or people looking for a place to advertise.
What you get
A room of people who are building the same thing you are
Honest breakdowns
Bring what isn't working: prices, clients, content, energy. Get a straight, respectful look at it instead of applause.
Peer support
Solo work is lonely. Here you have people who understand a dry month, a hard client or a raise in price.
Hints from people ahead
Members who already earn $100k+ share what moved the needle, and what was noise.
Member offers
The only place ads are allowed: special offers from members to members, with a real extra value.
Events online and offline
Small-group breakfasts, walks and meetups in your city, plus online sessions with practitioners.
AI member search
Find a contractor, partner or peer by what they do and where they are, not just by name.
Tracks
Sub-communities by practice
Each track is its own chat inside the community, so the conversation stays specific: same clients, same pricing questions, same tools.

City hubs
Meet offline where you live or travel
Hubs are cities with enough members to meet for breakfast, a walk or a small session. Your city is not on the list yet? Pick the nearest one and tell us where you are.
🌐 Online, from anywhere
No hub nearby? Most of the community happens online.
Track sessions, pricing clinics and honest breakdowns run as online events. Registered members get the meeting link in the app, whatever the time zone.

Partnerships
We are actively building partnerships
Services, tools and communities that make a solo practice easier: banking and invoicing, legal and tax help, learning platforms, coworking and venues. Every partner gives members a real, specific benefit.
From the founder
“Solo experts do not fail because they lack talent. They fail because nobody around them says out loud what isn't working. This community is that room.”
Author of the Personal Essence Methodology and the 100k playbook, pem.academy
FAQ
Questions people ask before applying
Is membership really free?
Yes. There is no fee. Access is by application because the value of the community depends on who is inside.
I am just starting and earn much less than $100k. Is it too early?
No. $100k is the target, not the entry ticket. There are stage rooms for people starting, growing and scaling.
What if I have a small team?
One or two assistants are fine. If you run an agency or manage a team, this community is not the right fit.
Is it only for Ukrainians?
We start from Ukrainian experts at home and abroad, and the community is open to anyone who shares the approach. The website and the app are available in English and Ukrainian.
Can I promote my services?
Only in the Offers section, with a real special deal for members. Everywhere else, no ads and no unsolicited private messages.
How long does the review take?
Usually a few days. You will get a message in Telegram either way.
Ready to build your own thing among your own people?
Fill in the application. It takes about five minutes.
