“I went from $10k a month to $20k a month in two to three months of working together.”
Adrian ManzanoFounder, email marketing agency Read the transcript
I just want to make this quick video testimonial for Charlene, because she has helped me a lot when it comes to scaling my email marketing business from $10,000 per month to $20,000 per month in a span of two to three months of working together.
Two to three months ago, to be frank, I was lost. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know where to go, and the worst part of all, I was stuck at a certain income level, which was $10,000 per month. I had been in that position for a very long time and I just couldn't figure out how to scale past it.
A friend referred me to Charlene, and once we started working together I confirmed that she is one of the best investments I have ever made in my entire business career. Not only did she help me scale past $10,000 per month to $20,000, she also taught me how to build the business while considering my own happiness.
If you're a freelancer or an agency owner who is currently lost, confused about what steps to take, and you can't find that one step that will move you forward, I highly recommend Charlene as a coach or consultant. She won't only help you get the income level you want, she'll help you build that business while considering your happiness and fulfillment in life.
“In six months I went from high-paying employee mindset to consultant with an agency and $18k-$20k months.”
Dianne SamonteFounder, accounting & outsourcing agency Read the transcript
When I started working with Charlene, the mindset I had was an employee's, really. A high-paying employee. That's what I saw myself as.
But working with her, I did not realise I could be all of it. Fast forward: right now I work as a high-paying consultant and I have my own agency doing accounting, recruitment and outsourcing services. My highest earnings have been around $18,000 to $20,000 USD per month, with around 60 to 70 team members. Six months ago I was doing everything solo.
A lot of what we tackled was not even about business. Around 80% of it was about me as a person. Emotionally I was wrecked and confused, with a lot of fears holding me back, and every session gave me guidance through that.
Today I'm a consultant for huge companies here in the Philippines and outside of it. That's how much I grew within six months.
“A few months ago we had the biggest sales of my entire business career, more than 3x our best month.”
Cho LimFounder, The Lazy Lifter Read the transcript
Hey, it's Cho here of The Lazy Lifter. I just want to give a huge shout out to Charlene and the team for doing wonders for my business.
They didn't just fix the systems, they helped us get a lot more leads. They quadrupled, quintupled the leads we were getting. Most importantly, they helped me make more money.
Just a few months ago, in January, we had the biggest sales of my entire business career. It wasn't just 2x, I think it was more than 3x of our best performing months in the past.
In their own words
Agency owners who raised their standard and their rates.
I doubled, then tripled my rates.
I was stuck. Though from the outside, it probably looked like I was doing everything right. I was working hard, but it felt like a hamster wheel the same problem kept showing up while we were scaling.
Deep down, I knew I had more value to give but I lacked confidence, and it reflected in my business and my pricing. I kept undercharging and was terrified of losing clients if I asked for more, so I stayed playing small.
What sets her apart is the way she sees things outside the box. She's not a typical mentor who only focuses on the logical side of strategy. She has the ability to see what the real problem is most of the time it's in you as the person running the business. She sees the blind spots you don't even realize you have: the patterns you keep repeating, the decisions, the way you show up.
I also doubled, then tripled my rates. I hit the highest income I've ever earned in my entire career with the same skills and the same process that we have. But more than the numbers, what really changed was me as a person. I gained more confidence and I started owning the value we are providing.
Lhennedy Tamaray
Founder
I started thinking like a CEO.
I was very focused on execution. I knew how to deliver, I knew how to get results for clients, but I wasn't really building my business as a CEO. I felt like I was doing everything right, but not fully getting the level of growth I knew was possible.
The breakthrough was understanding that I don't need to do more work to earn more. I just needed to communicate my value better and position myself differently. Simple, but when I started applying it, it was a game changer.
It wasn't one big spike, but a steady increase in my MRR. What surprised me is that it came from small shifts pricing, positioning, how I talk to clients. The biggest factor was the mindset Charlene is teaching, not overworking or adding more hours.
I can now walk away from deals the old version of me would have said yes to without thinking twice. That, for me, was the biggest shift. It shifted from 'is this okay?' to 'this is the direction we're taking.'

I started charging 3x my rate. Same work.
I was lost. Again. Projects ended, I had no idea what to do next, and I realized I had gotten too comfortable and complacent. I tried building an agency before, multiple times actually, but I always found myself going back to doing everything alone. Same cycle, different year.
Somewhere in that session it just hit me: the goals I kept setting needed a version of me that I hadn't become yet. That's why I kept going back to square one. I wasn't ready for the level I was trying to reach. Nobody had ever told me that so directly before.
Then I started working on myself. I decided to be firm and believed in my own value. And surprisingly, I started charging 3x my rate. Same work. Same deliverables. I just stopped underselling myself.
If you're stuck in the same loop, trying to scale but not knowing how, she will tell you exactly what you need to hear. Not what's comfortable. But what's true. That's what she did for me. And it worked.

From $20k months to my first $37k month.
Revenue-wise I was averaging $20k months. After 3 months with her, I hit my first $37k month and now I'm averaging $30k months.
What surprised me was that I came to her seeking business advice, but I left with stronger awareness, and I'm more aligned with who I am. Business related moves and results are just a byproduct of that alignment.
If you're serious about diving deeper into yourself so you can create more impact externally, you wouldn't want to miss the chance of working with Cha.

I've raised my rates 3x and closed a project at 4K/mo.
I've raised my rates 3x and closed a project at 4K per month.
The client even asked why the rates were higher now, but I didn't bring my rates down take it and benefit, or lose it and regret it. And they still pushed through.

She blends clarity, structure and real care.
Working with Cha has been such a grounding and growth-filled experience. She doesn't just teach strategies she really takes the time to understand you as a person, your goals, and what's holding you back.
You can feel that she genuinely wants you to grow, not just in business, but in how you think, decide, and show up. If you're looking for someone who can help you see things clearly, take aligned action, and build with intention, Charlene is that kind of guide.

I made a sale right after the call.
I was really surprised with the content of the Masterclass by Cha. Super enlightening the ways I can close deals just by looking into three conditions of my pricing. The formula she shared is also amazing.
Possibilities that's the one thing that opened up for me after the call. I even made a sale right after the call, and it was because I followed what she taught.

She sees the potential you've overlooked.
I want to express my deep appreciation to Charlene for seeing the potential in me that I've always sensed but haven't fully tapped into. I knew there's so much more I'm capable of, yet for some reason I'd only been operating at maybe 10% of it.
After our call, I gained a lot of clarity. I realized that I am already aligned with who I'm becoming; I just lacked the structure and direction to move forward intentionally.
If you're on the fence about working with Charlene, I'd say go for it. She has a rare gift for seeing what's inside you, even the parts you've forgotten or overlooked. Her guidance doesn't just unlock potential; it helps you believe in yourself again, with clarity and conviction.

From confusion to clarity.
I felt stuck in doubt and uncertainty. I had ideas and direction, but lacked a proper mindset and clarity on the best way to move forward strategically.
After the consultation, I gained clarity on how to discover my core strength and the proper mindset for executing my next steps. The biggest shift was moving from hesitation to feeling more grounded and decisive. I was honestly surprised at how quickly my perspective changed.
If you're unsure about working with Charlene Ormo, I'd say it's truly worth it. The approach is thoughtful, strategic, and personally tailored. You'll gain valuable insights, clarity, and confidence after the coaching session with her. I highly recommend.
Jocelyn Siervo
Owner, ProfitUp Digitals
From hesitation to direction.
I had a big idea I wanted to pursue, but I was honestly doubting myself. I kept thinking about my age, whether I still had the energy to build something new, and whether my introverted nature would hold me back. The vision was there, but so were the fears.
After the consultation, I experienced a powerful shift. Instead of focusing on limitations, I was guided to understand what I truly want and what kind of life and work would make the effort worthwhile.
What surprised me most was realizing that clarity changes everything. Sometimes you don't need someone to give you answers; you need someone who can ask the right questions. That's exactly what happened here. Now I feel clearer about what I want and more confident about taking the next steps.

Meeting my future self made me bawl my eyes out.
Thank you for being my big sister for 4 hours. I needed all of that. I can't thank you enough in this lifetime. I will never forget everything you taught me.
Meeting my future self made me bawl my eyes out. It was a whole other moment to experience. I worry a lot about where this life is gonna take me, but she's damn proud. She's thanking me for putting in all the work, for who she became to be on that stage.
I always take inspiration from people I meet, and I'm taking away the rich magnetic energy you have in my journey. When the time came and I've reached my dream monthly figure, just know you're a part of it.

So much value in just 30 minutes.
So much value in just 30 minutes, and I couldn't believe she shared a LOT of value for free. Cha is very sincere and I even wanted to cry because I felt really understood.
After the consultation, I feel more empowered and determined to achieve my goals. I highly recommend Charlene to anyone who wants to fix their mindset and scale their business.

I realized I can charge more.
This masterclass made me realize that I can charge more if I can be at the same place where my ideal clients are. So I'm strategizing where to show up and how to show up.
I also want to thank you for the embodiment exercise. I cried a lot. But in the end I felt like I have finally let go of some things I've been carrying in the past. You made my burden lighter.

It's another thing to have fun in the business.
My goal was to just make lots of money go from 7 digits in savings to 8 in just a year. But something in me shifted when I talked with Charlene: it's one thing to make more money, but another thing to have fun in the business.
So my new goal right now is to really enjoy it and own more of my time while creating opportunities for people who would pay it forward. Charlene really helped me gain clarity, especially on the strengths I should continue to develop.

It really does all come down to belief.
It really does all come down to belief, and this masterclass reminded me of that in the best way.
I walked away with so many golden nuggets that I didn't expect. The way everything was broken down made it so easy to understand and actually apply. I'm genuinely excited to put what I learned into action.

10/10 would do it again.
Expectations: learn and gain some knowledge. Reality: hold your breath and bawl your eyeballs out. 10/10 would do it again.
This masterclass catapulted my thinking. Charlene, I hope you know how inspiring and magnetic you are you have a knack for pulling people in with your energy.
One of my favourite takeaways was when you said life can be so unpredictable, so why not predict the person I want to be? In just 3 days of embodying Her, I've attracted so much that I managed to produce a list.

I moved from confusion to clarity and left with belief.
I honestly felt completely clueless. I had ideas and ambitions, but everything felt scattered. My revenue wasn't where I wanted it to be, and deep down I knew something was off. I kept thinking I needed more skills, more strategies, more effort.
After just one conversation with her, something shifted. Cha has this way of analyzing your situation and background so clearly that it feels like she's handing you a personalized life blueprint. She made me realize that what was really holding me back wasn't strategy. It was my mindset.
What surprised me the most was how quickly I moved from confusion to clarity. I didn't just leave with notes. I left with belief. Belief in myself. Belief that my growth isn't about becoming more it's about thinking differently.
If you're on the fence about working with Cha, I'd say this: the real leap isn't about investing in her. It's about deciding to see yourself differently. And that shift alone can change everything.

I felt empowered, aligned, and finally clear about my path.
I felt stuck unsure how to expand my freelancing career, struggling with my mindset, and emotionally overwhelmed. I had just lost my father, and that season of grief left me distracted and uncertain about where I truly wanted to go. Financially, I was comfortable, but deep inside I knew I was meant for more.
During the masterclass, something shifted in me. I gained a level of confidence and clarity that I honestly didn't expect. One of the most powerful moments was the forgiveness exercise it felt like a weight lifted off my heart and soul. When I envisioned my future self, I felt empowered, aligned, and finally clear about my path.
And of course, this is Charlene Ormo she always overdelivers. Her generosity, wisdom, and genuine desire to help are truly rare. It's one in a million to find a coach who pours into people the way she does.

The owner is either the bottleneck or the breakthrough.
I was really struggling with my mindset. I felt like I still didn't have enough confidence in myself, and I was mostly just going through the motions doing what I do, but not really feeling grounded in it.
During the masterclass, something clicked for me, especially when Ms. Charlene talked about what happens after you close a big deal. The amount that used to feel 'big' suddenly starts to feel small. You get excited, you want more but you don't realize that's also where the growth pains begin.
One thing she repeats often really stayed with me: if you want to close 6 or 7 figure deals, you have to be ready to become the person who can hold that level. Not just financially, but emotionally, mentally, and personally.
Because the truth is, the owner is either the bottleneck or the breakthrough. A business only grows to the level that the owner can lead it. No amount of skill or talent can replace a healthy mindset as an entrepreneur.

6- and 7-digit milestones aren't just possible they're inevitable.
I had hit the ceiling. Burnout was setting in, and no matter how hard I worked, I couldn't break through my income plateau.
I searched for a mentor who actually 'walked the talk,' but every reliable source seemed locked behind a massive paywall. Then I reconnected with Charlene.
The biggest shift wasn't just technical; it was the confidence to walk away from the wrong clients and the courage to charge what I'm actually worth. Charlene taught me how to 'eat the elephant' by reverse-engineering my goals. I went from settling for less to realizing that with the right guide, 6- and 7-digit milestones aren't just possible; they're inevitable.
She is a true giver who evolves constantly. If you aren't following her lead, you're missing the path you didn't even know existed.

Totally a game changer.
Thank you Charlene for sharing your knowledge, experience and principles. We often direct ourselves to learning the technicalities of business (tools, tech, systems etc) but we forget the most important element that makes them actually work ourselves.
Grateful for your time. Totally a game changer!

The impossible income figures became achievable.
I was limiting myself, settling for less and stopping myself from dreaming bigger.
The masterclass reminded me of the person I was dreaming to become and at the same time afraid to become, as I attached achieving it to stress. It made the impossible income figures (in my mind) achievable.
Thank you Charlene. I waited for years to be able to attend one of your masterclasses and I'm thankful that I did. I will apply what I learned so I can qualify for your coaching.

A different kind of meeting about myself, not just my career.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your life. The masterclass felt like a different kind of meeting, not only about my career but more about myself. The things that happened were so unexpected, and I wouldn't choose to have it any other way.
So many breakthroughs, but at the same time a lot of things to ponder. I wish more people would know you and what you impart to us. I'll keep choosing to live the best life I could have because of you.

I thought the problem was the system. It started with me.
I was like, 'OH WAIT! When was the last time I felt the most driven, fearless, and ambitious?' I feel so sorry for letting my mindset get clouded by other people's opinions and experiences. I forgot WHO I AM.
I thought the problem was the system. I am lazy, I procrastinate but all along, it's just that I AM CONFUSED too. My thinking self is not intact. I need to protect and nourish it. My beliefs, my psychology! It all should START in me.
When this is clear, fueled, and empowered, then the other foundations would be easy. Money is just a figure on my screen, on a paper. That's it!

I left the webinar full of joy and hope.
I went in to Zoom, tired and hopeless. Then it started. I said to myself, so this is what an advanced masterclass is like. I was amazed with the lessons she shared.
I left the webinar full of joy and hope! Thank you coach your lessons are mindblowing and life changing.

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
I honestly felt like I was living on autopilot. I am in a good place, yet still at the same level, in denial or quietly wondering if this is it, and whether I even dare to ask, 'What's next?'
I came across your post on social media in the middle of my routine EOD doom scrolling session. Your message really pulled me back from the abyss. It was grounding, and everything you shared resonated with me immediately. That's when I knew this was the real deal and exactly what I needed to help me break through the glass ceiling.
What stuck with me the most were the foundations you shared I have this one in particular plastered on my wall now: 'work harder on yourself than you do on your job.' I was also genuinely impressed by your holistic approach and by how generous you were with everything you taught us.

We stopped settling for lowball clients.
I've always been a silent fan of yours from reading your Facebook posts, watching your stories, to attending your first webinar. What you tackled last night is exactly what we need right now (my husband was there too!).
We realized we've been settling for lowball clients because we didn't know the right words to say when charging higher with all the results we're actually producing.
The formula you shared gave us so much clarity on how we should price, and because of that, my husband and I already scheduled a talk on how we can start applying this with future clients.
I honestly don't know why this webinar of yours was free. Straightforward. Super realistic. Now we're ready for the next obstacle we're about to break!

I found the courage to charge double.
I was stuck in limbo, debating whether to stay comfortable with my current cash flow and simply listen, or finally step up, charge higher rates, and rebuild my pipeline with the right clients. I'm so glad I chose the latter.
After the session, I didn't just regain confidence in closing deals. I found the courage to charge double what I was earning in my previous role.
I implemented what I learned immediately. Almost as if the universe answered a quiet prayer, a client unexpectedly booked a 'confidential' call with me the very next day. What was supposed to be a simple update turned into a full strategic session, helping her sell her high-ticket program to global executives.
What surprised me most was how calm and grounded I felt throughout the call. When she said, just before we ended, 'Bill me for this,' I didn't hesitate. I sent the invoice with confidence.

You reminded me that I still want to dream.
You don't know me but I've been following you for a couple of years now. I jumped straight to your masterclass registration when I saw your posts!
I knew I was going to get so much value from you, but I had no idea how mind-blowing it was going to be. My faith and hope have been wavering for a while now, and you reminded me that I still want to dream. And more than that, I want to keep working hard on myself so I can continue reaching for the stars.
I've also been battling what might have been my worst anxiety attacks so far, and the meditation calmed me like no other mindfulness technique ever did. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and with all my being.

80-90% of my success in business is my psychology.
I was stuck and didn't have time for myself, but after the masterclass everything changed. The one shift I took away is that the problem was not the skill or the income it was me as a person.
What surprised me is that 80-90% of my success in business is my psychology. To close a high ticket deal, the formula involves knowing the right client, having the identity of the person who could close that deal, and your beliefs about the value they gain or lose whether they choose you or not.
For someone who's on the fence about joining her future masterclasses: you must join and you will not regret it. I've attended Charlene's previous masterclasses and I learn a lot I was able to apply her teaching to my freelance career and it's very effective.
Dazelyn Timatim

Grounded, practical advice truly a top notch self investment.
Highly recommended. I've been a student of Charlene Ormo since I was about to start freelancing back in 2022, and her teachings helped me a lot. She is the OG when it comes to grounded and practical advice around business and the mindset behind it and the friends I met through her as students are world class, top notch.
All her quotes, like 'how would you eat an elephant' and the 30-30-30/60 rules, are values I still hold in my work ethic. So if you're still on the fence and considering lessons from Cha go ahead. She is worth it, and truly a top notch self investment.

From $1,000 funnels to a $9,500 deal.
I have been building funnels for seven years. My husband and I ran an agency with around 12 team members, then chose to go lean and focus on fewer, better clients. I found Charlene on Facebook, had heard her speak before, and joined the masterclass because I was looking for a way to close bigger deals and support my family.
The biggest realization was that money is just paper, just numbers on a screen. As the salesperson of the agency I used to overthink numbers and price from scarcity. Once I stopped attaching my worth to the number, I could focus on finding the right client instead of just any client, and on presenting value in numbers rather than defending a rate.
During the four hour masterclass, scarcity turned into abundance. I felt like I could do anything. Then I applied the notes to my agency and my pipeline, and I closed a $9,500 deal, the highest I have ever closed. Before that, I was closing around $1,000 to $1,250 per funnel.
More than the money, it gave me confidence and trust in my ability to deliver. Everything is figure outable. Going from closing $1,000 to closing $9,500 changes something in your brain that you cannot go back from.
My honest message to anyone considering it: after seven years of freelancing there were times I wanted to give up. Take the knowledge, actually implement it, and be grateful for what it opens up.

The shift
Before and after the diagnosis
Every decision routed through the founder
Owners decide inside clear standards
Priced on hours and goodwill
Priced on outcome and positioning
Delivery capped by founder capacity
Delivery held by the team and the system
Strategy changed monthly
One thesis, executed long enough to compound
