What a fantastic experience I've had…

What a fantastic experience I've had with this program. Even though I have had some knowledge, I didn't really know how to implement it. I strongly recommend this program for people who are serious about their bussines but struggle with marketing side. It gives the clarity and guidance...step by step, holding by hand process. I gained so much confidence in myself. Great community and everyone is so helpful. Worth every penny. Once again thank you ever so so much.

This experience has truly been life changing. Not only has it been amazing knowledge for my business as I continue to grow, but this program has given me a chance to change every aspect of my life in ways that I never imagined. The women in this group are amazing and I will forever be grateful for these connections. This has been an investment I will be able to use for the rest of my life.I am forever grateful to be a part of this and to have the opportunity to learn from these special women and improve my life, which will improve the lives of all of those around me.

Thank you amazing group

Thank you amazing group, team, soul sisters! This is more than a program, is step by step guidance to start developing your own business. The opportunity of being part of a great community and connect with other soul sisters on the same frequency.
I definitely step out from my comfort zone creating a new life, new goal and a new dream. I found the way of how to monetarize a skill and share it with the world and the people that is ready for it.
I am really grateful that I took the leap :) I love that I get to connect with amazing souls and create these relationships. Its been a wonderful experience besides the huge asset.

NOT just another course...

I can't tell you how much money I have spent on courses. (insert eye-roll here) If I add it all up I get nauseous. So I had to be sure this course was different before I jumped. I knew Vanessa back when she lived in Montreal. I have seen her grow from a bartender, massage therapist, mop saleswoman to coach and speaker. I watched her REALLY do this! She IS the real deal.

And now, I can't say enough about the course. It was WORK!! Damn hard work!!! Not like all the other courses I took before at all! But I am so happy with what I have learned about myself, my marketing, my sales process and my growing business. The support was tremendous, but at the end of the day, I am the only one that can make this work or not. Vanessa and the team gave me some seriously upgraded tools compared to what I was working with before. All I can say now is: WATCH ME GO!

Took my Power Back-- Thanks Vanessa!

Sky-rocketed my confidence and built my own path to cashflow, whoa. I'm still in shock.

If you are ready to take charge of your life and biz + willing to accept helpful knowledge, prompting, and encouragement then this is for you. This was the biggest investment I've made at a single time in my future and it was exactly what I needed to launch a money coaching business. If you had told me I'd be ready to kick some butt in LESS THAN 8-weeks I would have thought you were insane but HERE. I. AM.

I signed up for the course but did not…

I signed up for the course but did not pay the full amount and decided to do so in installments. I think there is a lot of hype around the product but to be honest I felt isolated. I tried to enter the facebook group and was not accepted in for some reason even after paying an installment. I was given 2 modules which are just about affirmations and Napolean Hill tips. I mean if you are just trying to learn how to get more clients just use facebook and start your own ad campaign. After a day I was not happy and asked for my money back and they were unwilling to do so.

I honestly do not even think or believe Vanessa Simpkins is real. This is not a mean review its just the honest truth about how I feel about her business. I would have appreciated a personal call from Vannessa instead of having her workers call me. It was just an overall impersonal experience and I felt isolated. It is like if you do not pay the full 5,000$ upfront just do not do it because they will ask you for an installment only to give you 2 modules of affirmations and nothing concrete to get the clients you need to make up for the cost of the course.

I am very disappointed and this is a huge lesson that I am learning to not invest in these types of courses online because they are too good to be true. It is like they give you a little bit until you pay the full amount. Just be cautious and know that if you are paying someone 5,000$ to help you with your business you can always take that 5,000$ and spend it on ad revenue in facebook or youtube because that is the bulk of what they supposedly claim they will teach you.

Her business model is a hustle and bustle business build on the vulnerability of women so just know that today it is easy to get clients but clearly hard to keep them.

Buyer beware! Cheers!

Hello Grace, thank you for bringing this to my attention. What a lovely name you have GRACE.

I am so sorry you felt isolated and mmm maybe not important enough to receive a personal phone call from me at the time of your experience.

It’s important to address ALL feelings as VALID regardless of any FACTS and opinions, because opinions are NEVER facts.

Running a team of 30 people and managing over 100 clients per year made the kind of personalized attention from ME impossible, as it’s a mastermind you signed up for and NOT 1-1 coaching.

To address students personally inside the mastermind I reserved Monday morning ZOOM meetings Q & A style to answer questions and sometimes these meetings lasted 3 hours to make sure everyone’s questions were answered. I understand your standards and expectations were not met. I hired people to address customer concerns for that reason so clients always felt seen and heard.

Your judgment of my program after only 2 modules is what it is. You are certainly allowed to have any opinions AND the fact is you DID NOT even GLIMPSE at the entire 130 course lesson library. So your judgement abut my entire program based on the first 2 foundational mindset modules about is well… what it is.

Curious were you able to get into the Radical Honesty, Radical Responsibility & Radical Self Love concepts & principals?

I am sorry you had trouble getting into the fb group, that can happen and has happened OFTEN, fb can be glitchy sometimes …. which is why we always had a 90 minute 1-1 call set up as an onboarding call with a Mindset mentor right away during the first few days of client enrollment to ensure people knew and understood how to access support, the content dashboard, the fb group and support inside the program from the mentors, tech specialists, fb ads, mindset, marketing & sales departments offered during the 90 day mastermind program.

Curious did you do your 90 minute 1-1 enrollment call or?

We offered payment plans to help people GET started and often many of our clients who applied the content and participated and asked for help actually made sales within 30 days some within 48 hours of implementing very simple things like making offers on social media things they never had either the courage or skill set to do before and this allowed them to continue investing into more learning new skills training provided by my company.

We also only unlocked content based on people completing their agreed upon payment plan, which clients signed before enrolling to prevent this kind of “oh I just made a big investment” and I want to back out now because of resistance and fear which is often what sabotages unconsciously people not just women from actually following through on the decision they make.

And we did this because we had people coming into the program, downloading all the content and then asking for refunds right away without even being able to digest the content, so we stopped that and solved that problem by unlocking content & offering payment options for people who couldn’t afford the program but wanted to join.

I later stopped running the 10k mastermind because I turned it into an affordable self study course for everyone to be able to purchase without a hefty price tag and STILL teach a lot of that SOUND marketing, sales, & mindset mastery skills to 1-1 clients today in 2024.

I can assure you I am a very real person and am happy to get on the phone you and address any other concerns you STILL might have.

Perfect program for what I needed

I signed up for Vanessa's 10k in 30-day program because I had some success in my business, but needed to get things to the level where it was actually supporting me. This program delivered in helping me get super clear on who I want to serve and how to reach my target market. I was able to overcome my own blocks to being out there and visible in the world and am now well on my way to the goals I had when I started the program. The structure and support in this program were phenomenal. If you are ready to show up for yourself and put the work in, Vanessa and her team have the recipe for success.

Worth every penny!

Just under two years ago I made a decision that I wanted to do life differently. So I jumped in with both feet in Vanessa Simpkins program, #10kin30daymastermind ,which was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

In my heart of hearts I wanted to help other women heal at a deeply spiritual and emotional level. Even though I have a master's degree in counseling, before joining Vanessa's program, I had ZERO clients in my healing/coaching business. I now have a steady flow of clients, so much so that several months ago I was able to QUIT MY JOB! I'm so happy and grateful to be able to stay home with my baby and still earn an excellent income, doing EXACTLY what God has gifted me to do! I am so thankful God led me to @TheBikiniBusinessCoach !!!!! My life and my confidence has changed completely since being a part of #10kin30daymastermind ! To Christ be the glory!

SMOKE AND MIRRORS...ASSEMBLY LINE COACHING

I have been hesitant to post a review of Vanessa Simpkin’s 10k in 90 days program because, I have noticed a trend. Many of the reviews that are not 5 stars have been removed, which makes me question the objective integrity of this site. Nonetheless, I cannot sit idly by anymore without at least trying to help others, who might be considering investing in this program, with my HONEST review.

I will not share specific details about the program, out of respect for others who paid for it, like me. However, I will say that the strategies taught in the 10k in 30 days program are basic, subpar and straddle the line of ethics in business. Should Vanessa’s team attempt to refute this HONEST review by saying that I have mindset issues. Or, I didn’t follow her strategies, and the team is super supportive. Let me stop you! My mindset is good, and unless you are a psychologist or psychiatrist, it’s irresponsible and careless to make those claims. I kept up with the pace of the program and implemented the strategies, to no avail. When I reached out for support, I was told… Good job! Great job! You’re doing everything that you are supposed to be doing! Followed by an upsell.

If you are considering investing your hard-earned money in Vanessa Simpkin’s programs, I would ask yourself the following questions:

1. How is it that someone who has boasted about 10 years of experience and hundreds of people having been through her program, I can attest to at least 500+, can’t even get 25 of them to post a positive review? (Less than 4%)

2. Why is there such a HUGE disparity in the reviews posted on this site? (Either 5 star or 1 star)

3. Why has the ability to see the likes/dislikes or comments been disabled on her YouTube channel? (Perhaps, someone doesn’t want you to know the truth.)

4. How come the only testimonials about earning a minimum of 10K in 30 days originate with her? (Her email list, YouTube channel, Facebook and Instagram pages)

5. How come the program is not named MANIFEST 10K in 30 Days? (Since the rebuttal for people who have expressed a lack of results, seems to be blaming it on the client or their thinking.)

What I did learn, from this experience, is that not all money is good money and INTEGRITY, HONESTY and ETHICS are most important to me. “What profits a man/woman if he/she gains the whole world but loses his own soul?”

Thank you for bringing “Jessica b” your “HONEST” review to my attention for me to address.

And let’s be clear everyone is entitled to their OPINION. And opinions are NOT ever FACTS!

1. My company has over 140 VIDEO testimonials AND many more all available to view on YouTube at any time. I don’t feel it necessary to prove anything to anyone including you. Smart, discerning people can go right ahead and watch those video’s and decide for themselves.

2. You can sell a bar of soap to people and clearly direct them how to properly use the soap AND STILL MANY MANY people remain victims and scream “the soap doesn’t work” and “you’re a scam” and “it’s all SMOKE AND MIRRORS” and neglect to unwrap the soap, apply water and actually use the soap as directed.

MANY people unfortunately DECIDE TO & CHOSE TO hold onto their emotional payoffs by holding onto their victim stance & stories.
People receive a lot of attention and validation that way unfortunate and sad but true.

#3 I turned them off because of all the people posting promotional links to all kinds of weird things on my 1000+ free video’s that I worked to create and share with people on my platform. I will not allow people to USE & ABUSE my platform for their personal gain. That’s called a boundary.

4. There are screen shots everywhere from inside my fb groups safe spaces for women INSIDE my masterminds where women posted their wins DAILY for 10+ years and continue to do so today. Those are wins & celebrations posted by clients and students. I do not require my clients to post them on their own social sites - why would I need to do that? 

5. The 10k in 30 day Mastermind was never a healing trauma program. It was never marketing or promoted or sold as a healing trauma program either and YET many people who joined and enrolled actually NEEDED a therapist and a psychologist and NOT a business coach!

6. The reviews that were removed are actually from people WHO NEVER purchased a program or course from me, one even from ex-husbands family member, who is a deranged drug addict.

One review from women I had to SUE for defamation. She caused a tremendous amount of suffering for past and current clients as well as everyone on my dedicated team. A woman who simply decided NOT to continue testing advertising and EXPECTED a miraculous result in 30 days and didn’t get it. She wanted a full refund after using my team services for over 6 weeks and decided she didn’t want nor need to pay for the time and expense of her own decision. She was a business woman wanting to change businesses and decided it was too much work to launch a coaching business. I have the recording of our original conversation… which is probably why when served with papers to appear in court she backed off into the hole from whence she came.

She also chose to create a HATE group on social media, followed by several videos ( well at least she got over her fear of making videos even if they were against me HA!) and finally wrangled up a BUNCH of my clients and infected them with FEAR tearing down the budding tiny bits of confidence they were learning to build in my program with the support of my amazing team. It was an awful experience that I also used as an example to teach people about not being bullied.

Why would any leader who uses FEAR to enroll people be ANYONE you would want to follow?

We don’t promise miracles, we do teach women how to package, market & sell their coaching services online and breakthrough inner blocks and resistance and fear. If you’re not willing to do that, entrepreneurship is simply not for you. Go and get a job, you will be much more suited for.

If you need a therapist or psychologist pls do not hire a business coach or join a business building mastermind.

Why do negative reviews here on trust pilot - have no pictures of themselves? Integrity let’s see yours, where is your profile photo?

Awesomest, kickass program!!

Hmmm where do I start.?! Vanessa's program discovered me!! Thats the best way to put it. I knew I had something that I wanted to share with the world but I was too darn shy to be out there. I don't know how she does it but going through the program, listening to her and all her coaches gave me the right mindset to jump in and start swimming with the sharks. I am forever changed and grateful that I was led to find her program. The ladies are friendly; everyone is loving and supportive! What more can one ask for? She has an award winning team hands down!! I am proud to be a graduate of her 10K in 30 DAYS Program! And if you are curious, yes, I am killin' it!! :-)

Vanessa taught me how to Take My Powe…

Vanessa taught me how to Take My Power Back Now AND recognize when and where I was giving it away. She taught me strategies to grow a virtual business that were simple, practical and brilliant. The cost was high, but so was the reward- I learned that you have to put down enough to make it hurt in order to really show up for yourself (at least I do). It’s been an amazing journey taking her course and processing all the lessons that came out of it! Looking forward to continuing to study with her- she is a master in her field, and truly a miracle worker, a “fierce feminine love leader.” They used to say “seeing is believing,” she says “strap your tits on and get to work”- which is essentially the same thing when it comes to success:). You’ve gotta take this course if it speaks to you. You’ll be transformed!
