  • Hi, I’m Ela Żyrek and I’m a founder and a CEO of “Grace of Success” Academy – a place to be for all brilliant, passionate, high-achieving, heart-centered women who want to live their lives in the alignment with their values and who yearn to create another income stream towards their financial freedom by creating the business of their dreams.

    Below you’ll find the FAQ list and the answers (click the heart):

  • How long have you been doing what you do and how did you get to be a Feminine Power Transformational Coach and Money Breakthrough Business Coach?

  • Who are your clients exactly?  

  • What happens if you haven't yet worked with people in my field?

  • How are you different from other "business coaches"? 

  • What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me? 

  • For what type of professional is this program NOT going to work? 

  • What exactly is The “Grace of Success” Academy and what does it include? 

  • Does this really work?

  • What results can I expect?

  • Can I contact some of your former clients to see what it's like to work with you? 

  • How quickly can I expect results? 

  • How can I guarantee myself that I will create my thriving business, in record time? 

  • Will I recover the investment I put into this coaching program? 

  • Ela, based on everything I’ve read and heard about you, I know you’re the one I want to learn from. What are my options for getting started with you? 

  • OK, I know which program I want. How do we get started? 

  • If I'm not sure I'm ready to get started, how can I sample your work at low cost to see if it's the right solution for me? 

  • To answer this question, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment and resulting “compelling story” that brought me to where I am today, coaching people like you on exactly what to do NOT ONLY to set up your business for Financial Success and Time Freedom but also to BECOME the Woman who you came here to be - in your Truly Authentic, Confident, Brilliant, Powerful Self.

    That defining moment in my life happened exactly at my round birthday in August 2010. A few months before, in the middle of the night, I woke up in a pool of sweat. I guess I Experienced this high anxiety/mild depression caused by fear, seeing ANOTHER wave of experienced, valuable people/colleagues/friends being made redundant in my corporate, I used to be working since 15 years then.

    All I kept saying to myself was:

    “is it something that can also happen to ME?

    What if being a highly specialized expert in my field is seen not as an asset but rather just as high cost?

    Is ONE decision of the person, who has most probably never met or even heard about me, can ruin my whole life that I was working so hard to build, for so many years?

    What if I lose all of these?

    What if I don’t find another well-paid job? What if I don’t find any job?

    How will I pay my bills?

    What if I can’t support my children?

    What if…, What if… What if…”

    I tossed and turned, and to calm down I decided to contact my coach the first thing in the morning. When we met, he sat quietly listening to me. After I explained everything, he said, “Ela, if there’s one thing I know about you, it’s that when you want something, there’s nothing that’s going to stop you from getting it. So just figure out how you’re going to create another income stream – your secret “Plan B”, and then go and do it.”

    At that very moment, I made a commitment to immerse myself in absolutely everything that had to do with creating different income streams and financial freedom (I didn’t know what it meant that time:-)), including starting and running the business. I read every book I could get my hands on and I took every course I could find on the internet. On that day, in August 2010, I made a decision and a promise to myself to do whatever it takes to become Financially Independent and to regain my emotional peace and freedom by creating the successful business that I love. I decided to do it in parallel with continuing my corporate job. I needed that safety cushion even if I knew I would not have too much time left during the day to work on my business.

    What I didn’t know was that I would open up a new, beautifully challenging and absolutely exciting chapter of my life – the path of Self-Discovery and Self-Development. In November 2011, I officially started my business to fully experience the Reality of being an Entrepreneur.

    Long story short  my self-development path included investment of time, energy and money in plenty of personal power and business programs starting with teachers and coaches like:

  • Tony Robbins,

  • Marie Forleo,

  • Eben Pagan,

  • Fabienne Fredrickson,

  • Brendon Burchard,

  • dr. Claire Zammit,

  • dr Jean Huston,

  • Craig Hammilton,

  • Russel Brunson,

  • Dennise DT,

  • Andy Harrington,

  • Ariele Ford,

  • Adam Grzesik,

  • Basia Piasek,

  • Michelle Schubnel,

  • Christian Michelsen,

  • Kendall Summerhawk

  • and more

  • And several professional/certification programs:

  • Feminine Power Transformational Coaching,

  • Feminine Power Transformational Leadership,

  • Aromatherapy at Aromahead Institute,

  • NLP Master,

  • Sacred Money Archetypes Coaching,

  • Money Breakthrough Business Coaching.

  • During my process of entrepreneurial self-discovery, I went from being an aromatherapy educator, a creator, producer and supplier of beautiful aromatherapy cosmetics, online shop owner, a consultant, public speaker, a cafe owner, coach, mentor… All of these and including my work in the international corporation for more than 25 years now, I worked personally with hundreds of people and I met thousands of brilliant, skilled, passionate women from all over the Globe. And eventually I had an EPIPHANY! The thing that I enjoyed MOST was to empower and support other women on their Destiny Path. I understood how being a role-model for them can make a positive impact in their lives and what are the ripple effects of that on the lives of their families, friends and their area of impact.

    That’s WHY I became Feminine Power Transformational Coach and Leader and now specializing in Money coaching (in personal and professional areas) and Money Breakthrough Business Coaching for women, who want to learn no-fail way to start their own dream business or the women who feel stuck and want to revamp their existing business or smoothly transit into the new one.

    My corpo colleagues used to ask me: “Ela, how do you have a regular corpo job, 2 children and the same husband for many years, you travel and take regular vacation, you learn and develop your skills and you do what you love through your business, staying sane? What am I doing wrong? Can you help me?” I'd give them two or three things to do and told them to call me in a few weeks to tell me how it went. Virtually every time, they called me back a few days or weeks later saying:

    “Hurray! I got a new insight and clarity on what to do next!!!!” or “I took these new actions, I showed up differently and now the reality around me is adjusting to the NEW ME – it’s like a MAGIC!!!”

    I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other self-employed, sole practitioners, set themselves up for financial success and time freedom in record time, while beautifully transforming all other areas of their lives, through my 1-1 coaching, groups, workshops, products, masterminds and VIP private consulting days.

    Since then, I’ve worked with many private clients, I have mastered empowering women in 8 different areas of self-actualization and in their relationship with money through the Feminine Power Transformational Coaching and the Money Breakthrough Business Coaching. To accomodate all this support, I’ve created “Grace of Success Academy™ that incorporates several branches like: “Grace of Prosperity – Your Dream Business”, “Grace of Money – Your New Money Story”, “Grace of Powerful YOU – Your Feminine Power System to Create in Life”, “Grace of Leadership – Your Impact & Influence”, “Grace of Productivity – Self-Leadership and Time Management”, “Grace of Mindset – Growth Mindset Mastery”; where I teach a series of steps every sole practitioner needs to apply to create their dream business and make it lucrative in record time.

    I work with people just like you, who are independant in their private practice and/or other professionals who are really good at what they do. Usually they are multi passionate and they sense the possibility to turn their passions into a profitable business. However, they have never been taught exactly how to set-up their business for financial success and time freedom. That said, the professions that my programs are great for run the whole gamut. Some examples are as follows:

  • Acupuncturists

  • High Performance Coaches

  • Business Coaches

  • Life/Personal Coaches

  • Career Counselors/Coaches

  • Marketing Consultants

  • Personal Shoppers

  • Holistic Health Counselors

  • Personal Trainers

  • Aromatherapy Practitioners

  • Ayurveda practitioners

  • Healers

  • Master Teachers

  • Image Consultants

  • Photographers

  • Interior Decorators

  • Professional Organizers

  • Professional Voice Teachers

  • Massage Therapists

  • Chiropractors

  • Neuromuscular Therapists

  • Reflexologists

  • Nutritionists

  • Research Specialists

  • Consultants

  • Organizational Consultants

  • Copywriters

  • Virtual Assistants

  • Estheticians

  • Event Planners

  • NLP practitioners

  • and more!

  • The system I’m using is a proven system that works absolutely brilliantly for the clients in a wide scope of private practice and “independent” industries. Yet, I have to share with you that if I haven’t, you are not at a disadvantage, quite to the contrary. Here’s why: people in your field are probably ALL doing the same things to run the business. I’ll guess this creates a lot of repetition. What my current and former clients have found exceedingly helpful is that I bring an extremely fresh perspective to their business set-up process and give them resources they’d never heard of in their field. Because of this, they stand out in an overcrowded marketplace and are the ones who start getting a clear advantage. 

    Although we will occasionally touch upon time management and other “business coach-y” things, you have me as a Women’s Empowerment and Money Breakthrough expert and consultant. I’m using my own Brilliance and my Feminine Super Powers like Presence, Deep Listening, Transpersonal Knowing, Radical Empathy (to name just a few of them) and I will ALWAYS keep YOU as Powerful, no matter what and I’ll STAND FOR YOU and your Brilliance. You will get that professional support you always yearned for so that you can relax and trust in the guidance and proven solutions on your brave journey to create the business of your dreams. 

    I role-model and bring great value to my clients by showing them how to work less, how to earn more and how to enjoy life  ALL OF THAT at the same time :-)

    Additionally, I ONLY work with sole practitioners and very small businesses. In other words, I don’t consult with people in mid-sized companies or large corporations and I’m not a Jill-of-all-trades-coach. I refer those businesses to other coaches. What that means to you is that I am very focused on anything and everything that works for the sole fempreneur. Because my focus is very narrow, what you get with me is no-nonsense, undiluted expertise on what works for independent professionals. I’ve simply become an expert at this stuff and that’s why my clients get great results (and I throw in a healthy dose of compassion, humor and encouragement, which ALWAYS helps!). 

    These variety of “Grace of Success” programs were created for people who are absolutely excited and deadly serious about getting the “real business” instead of just a hobby and ending this, what I call “the 3:00 a.m. sweats”, meaning, not waking up in the middle of the night anymore saying, “how will I ever get my business successful?”

    They were created for you to put systems in place within a few months (sometimes weeks!), which will eventually lead you to getting Clarity, right Business Fundamentals and the Empowering Money Mindset you need, so that it takes not four, or many more years, which is a conservative estimate on the traditional time it takes to make your business thrive.

    Being a high achieving go-getter myself, I’m known to work best with other high achieving go-getters who are super-ready to get going and just want to know exactly what steps to take to create a successful business of their dreams in record time.

    Consider what you’ll do with me is to be learning and taking the inspired actions. You will be expected to honor yourself and your vision by taking serious and consistent action – no excuses anymore! Just a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve these incredibly exciting goals:

  • clarity on your vision and yearnings,

  • step-by step process to set-up yourself for success in your real (not a hobby) business,

  • more ideal clients that you love and who are willing to pay what you are worth,

  • pricing that represents your value (no undercharging anymore!)

  • your signature system that makes you unique and very attractive in your marketplace,

  • high-end packages and offers that bring the real result for your clients and turn them into your raving fans

  • right Mindset that supports you instead of putting you down

  • and much, much more!

  • All these consistently and in record time!

    Please know I’m very selective in who I work with and I cherry-pick my clients, choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren’t suited for my programs and won’t get the results for which they would have signed up for. (It wouldn’t be fair to them.)

    The “Grace of Success Academy” programs are NOT for those who have no money coming in and are absolutely, financially desperate, at least not right away. It’s been my experience that people in financial crises do not trust the recommendations I give them and do not do the work (probably because they spend so much time worrying about where they are going to get next month’s rent check or mortgage payment.)

    If you fall within this category, it’s absolutely OK. We’ve all been in times of financial crisis at one point or another. Do yourself (4) favors:

  • Get some money coming in with a full-time or part-time job at the very least, and then call me. This will take the edge off and provide a little more peace of mind. Mostly, it will de-clutter your mind enough to focus on your “Grace of Success” assignments and the BIG picture. Once you start seeing the clients come in regularly as a result of our work, you can then start reducing the hours you work at that other job and focus on your own practice.

  • Sign up for the free Grace of Success tools over email. The free information will get you started towards your goals until you’re ready to work with me one-on-one.

  • Click here to subscribe
  • Make a point to listen to the free teleclass seminars at the bottom of the ezine. These seminar downloads will give you a LOT of things to think about.

  • Join my Free FB group Graceful AND Successful.

  • Join my Free FB Group

    Doing these four things will really help you get primed for our work. When you’re ready, call me and we’ll get you started. (I’m in no rush and will be here when you need me.)

    Another type of person I won’t work with (without exception) is the whiner or the chronic skeptic, as well as individuals who constantly make excuses for not getting their assignments done or challenging every aspect of the program. The negative people and the ones with lack of Honour and Respect (to other people or me) are not in my environment. If you are one of these people (I’m pretty sure you are NOT), I gently and respectfully ask that you not call and I hope you understand why. We’ll probably just not work well together and I wouldn’t want you to waste your time or money. Is that fair?

    We understand that it’s just impossible to separate your business life from your personal life – they are so intertwined! They influence each other strongly. That’s why, in our programs, we incorporate different elements that I believe and I experienced myself, are most influential on your ultimate results that you want.

    Saying that, I created the variety of programs you can choose from (and if needed, I’ll support you with this choice process during our GAC – Get Acquainted Call), that will serve you best in where you are now. They include the elements from different areas of Grace of Success Academy.

    Attracting a consistent stream of new clients begins with understanding what interests your ideal client; what their major struggles are, and what will make them buy your services. Then, it means taking serious action on it.

    Here’s what the Grace of Success Academy Curriculum gets you to do:

    Make Client Attraction a priority

    We examine when in the day (and how) you are making time for Marketing and Client Attraction, make room in your schedule, prioritize your daily task lists, schedule in follow up time, put a pause on non-essential “leaks” in your marketing bucket, so you can fully invest yourself in growing your business. We then cluster your client days, business development days and days off so that you make the most of every minute you have. Essentially, we clear the decks for what’s most important.

    Strategize your unique positioning

    We will examine exactly where you are positioned in the marketplace, what your “compelling story” is, what will motivate prospective clients to work with you, what makes your services unique, who your competitors are, what makes you different from them. We will also spend time figuring out what you offer specifically in terms of results and benefits to clients.

    Craft your client profile

    Together, we will find out exactly who your ideal clients are: the WHO, WHAT, WHY, HOW of what makes YOU their problem-solver, as well as the best ways to reach them in large numbers and inexpensively.

    Construct your compelling marketing message

    In this section, you will find out how to craft a marketing message, tagline and elevator speech that grabs attention, making people call YOU as opposed to you chasing after THEM.

    Package what you know and do

    We take stock of your services, what you offer, what you know and turn these into irresistible programs, packages and systems that make prospective clients sit up, take notice and want to work with you. We also look at positioning what you offer in packages and programs, how to price your offerings so they sell themselves and bring you more money than you’re currently making.

    Congratulations!!! Your Grace of Success Academy curriculum is fully in place and you’ll never have to worry about success again.

    In addition to these categories, you will learn hundreds and hundreds of things to manage clients more easily, to make your time work for YOU, to close the sale without feeling like you’re selling, to work smarter not harder to eliminate the fears and self-sabotage holding you back, and set up systems for making more money in your actual business.

    Yes! The result of our work is an approach to marketing your services that, over time and with your dedication, works consistently to attract all the clients you need.

    You can expect to:

  • Hone in on the EXACT clients or patients that will pay you what you’re worth, get great results and send you referrals

  • Create a compelling marketing message that will make your ideal client say, “Wow, that’s exactly what I need, can I have your card?”

  • Make your service stand out in your industry and in the marketplace

  • Have created a Client Attraction strategy within the first three months

  • Get proven ways of educating your environment so more than just your clients are sending you referrals

  • Set rates that sell

  • Create packages and programs so your clients stay longer and get better results, write you compelling testimonials, and have you make more money

  • Learn how to handle your clients (and your time) more efficiently so you actually have time for MORE clients and more revenue

  • Reach your ideal clients in large numbers and inexpensively

  • Work smarter at building your practice, not harder

  • Become an expert in your field (and be perceived, and paid, as such)

  • Receive specific tools for you to use: “just add water”

  • Create greater exposure and visibility for yourself and your practice

  • Learn time saving techniques that will dramatically cut down your learning curve

  • Make more money than you’re making now, while enjoying being in business for yourself even more than you’re enjoying it now

  • Implement systems so you consistently market your services easily and can finally stop struggling to get clients, for good. 

  • Yes, I encourage you to! Please go to the Client Testimonials page and read all of them. See which ones you feel drawn to, either because the person has gotten the results you want to get too, or perhaps because that person is in a similar profession. Then feel free to email or call them and ask what they got from working with me and my programs.

    Obviously, this depends on how long you’ve been in business and how much you put into the assignments that we give you. That said, virtually all clients see results within the first couple of months in the form of new clients or new prospects, clients who stay longer, more revenue, turning more prospects into paying clients and more referrals from these clients.

    Do all of your assignments and fieldwork. Be totally focused on Client Attraction (although it will feel like it when you see the results). Understand that it’s not a “quick fix,” it’s not magic and it takes up to a year for you to plant all the seeds and for those seeds to grow into the fruit that you can enjoy. All my clients who have diligently applied every step of The Curriculum have successfully grown their businesses, in much less time than they would have on their own.

    Yes, a resounding Yes!

    Many clients are excited to report that they were able to cover their investment often with only one new client. I want you to stop reading for just one moment to ask yourself, “What is a new client worth to me, and what is the average revenue I make from the lifetime of that one client?” Chances are, that amount will more than cover your coaching investment. Most likely, you will make 10 times what you invested in this program in the next 3 years. The information and skills you learn with The Grace of Success System™ will net you 100 times what you invest in the next 10 to 20 years…something to think over.

    What you’re regularly getting with this program (and my coaching) is what I call a series of AHAs! that will move your business faster than you would on your own. Expect to get a lot of these as well as the resources you’ve been looking for and haven’t found until now. That’s what you’re investing in, results, more revenue, more profit, more clients, not just more “information.”

    Ela, based on everything I’ve read and heard about you, I know you’re the one I want to work with.

    Congratulations on making a decision for success! I’m happy to work with you to achieve your business goals… For the last few years, I offered private coaching programs that were exceedingly successful, and worked with my clients in 90-day, 6-month and 12-month programs. Additionally to these multi-month programs I am now offering more intense VIP Day Intensives – programs to create great results even FASTER.

    OK, I know which program I want.

    Great! Did you know that one of the most prominent characteristics of successful people is that they take action? They take educated risks, are decisive, take action, and they move forward towards success faster as a direct result of this. It’s a well-known fact these people make decisions based on their gut instinct. So, that being said, since this feels right for you, then go for it.
