clear things up with the ifgt founder EXERCISE

Shiny thing syndrome, chasing random marketing tactics just because everyone else is but not landing any of them.

Stuck in low conversion rate jail with no idea how to optimize or get sales to the next level.

Aiming to be everything to everyone, but not actually connecting with anyone at all.

Trying to figure it all on their own, wasting time, OVER THINKING EVERY DECISION and not being able to put the pieces of THEIR BRAND puzzle together.

Anxiety that clouds good judgment and a tendency to give up, succumbing to circling doubts like “Is this even a real thing?”

Early-stage businesses USUALLY fail for one of these reasons

You can't figure out how to connect to your customer or hit your revenue goals, you’re trying everything but nothing sticks.

You can avoid these common, and expensive mistakes.

These issues are avoidable. It is possible to connect with your dream customer for longer than a TikTok video, and develop cohesive marketing tactics that will help you build a business that hits its goals consistently.

Having too many ideas, a confusing vision, and ineffective brand messaging that is all over the place.

Working on your business with me by your side means you get where you’re trying to go faster and stronger. 

We'll talk about your business and goals, then I’ll offer insights to help build your brand and enhance your marketing.

If it feels aligned, we’ll talk about working together. If not, you’ll still walk away with value and will be a part of my Founder community, which means you’ll be on my radar for partnership opps and be invited to events.

THE SUPERCHARGED STRATEGY SESSION

SOLD OUT WAITLIST

From bootstrapped 6-figure fashion and beauty startups, where my brand strategy, community building and story-telling content made them look bigger than they were, and sell out of products. 

500% DAILY REVENUE SPIKE

ZERO TO LAUNCH
IN 12 WEEKS

To a 7-figure celebrity-backed wellness brand where I saw revenue tipping into 500% daily increases on multiple occasions because of my organic marketing tactics and strategic partnerships approach.

To founders at the concept-stage who I guided out of fear-based inaction and overwhelm, into IGFT market validation, crystal-clear customer profiling, active product development and ready-to-launch in 12 weeks.

CUSTOMER CONNECTION

YOUR PATH TO CREATING FORWARD

This discovery process is designed to ensure that not only can I meet your expectations, but also that you resonate with my approach; our mutual compatibility is going to be key to achieving our collective goals.

THE DISCOVERY PROCESS

Step One: bOOK YOUR FREE INTRO SESH (SSS)

Step Two: SEND ME YOUR COMPLETED IFGT FOUNDER EXERCISE

This exercise is designed to get to the core of your vision, challenges, and aspirations - a lot of people find this exercise gives them an insane amount of clarity and direction on its own. 

The 45-min Supercharged Strategy Session is a no-BS conversation about the state of your business. When you book, I'll send you The IFGT Founder Exercise to complete before our call and we can use it  to guide the conversation.

Step Four: CUSTOM ROADMAP & FOLLOW-UP SESSION

If we're aligned, I'll invite you to join me for a follow-up session, and I'll create a Custom Roadmap for your business to show you how the suggested Mentorship Offering or Private Project would support you and your business. During that session, you will decide if you are going to move forward or not.

Step Five: Creating Forward Kickoff & onboarding

As soon as you accept my invitation we will schedule your kick off date and you will receive a complete onboarding package with everything you need to get started and get access to the Forward Founder Studio. 

Step THREE: JOIN THE  45-MIN SUPERCHARGED STRATEGY SESH

By the end of our Strategy Session, I will know if I can help you reach your goals. Either way, I’ll do my best to point you in the direction of whatever it is you need and you’ll still be invited to be a part of my kick-ass founder community.

Having ideas is easy.
Starting a brand is easy. 

The Creating Forward Core Framework covers the foundational pillars needed to build a brand that people are obsessed with, and a business that generates sustainable revenue.

There aren’t many founders who understand how to navigate the core pillars of a strong business and that’s why so many of the people I speak to are struggling to put the pieces of the puzzle together, to get their business to the next level, and avoid expensive mistakes, it’s also why we hear stories of businesses failing every day. 

Book your free. intro session so we can get you on the path toward building the business you know you are capable of having. To schedule your first session, just click the link below and I’ll follow up with my IFGT Founder Exercise that we’ll review on our call.

Building a successful business is hard. 

You can’t figure it all out on your own.

hiya, i'm sarah saxty, but most people call me sax.

Creating Forward Studio is a culmination of my decade-long career in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, building fashion, beauty, wellness and lifestyle consumer product businesses in Australia, New York and LA. 

I got sick of seeing early-stage founders miss out on the hands-on, expert guidance they need to create an obsession-level brand, to develop efficient marketing strategies, and drive sustainable revenue, in favor of VC-backed startups or other privileged environments. 

So in 2023, I gave up my multi 6-figure consulting retainer business model, I spent 6-months speaking to founders about their challenges to get 100% clear on the value I could offer, then I studied the world of digital business models, I excavated all my learnings, beliefs, and expertise and in 2024, I turned them into the Creating Forward Core Framework and launched my Mentorship model business. 

Today, I’m here to guide you on your journey toward fulfilled success and make it possible for you to get the CMO-level support your deserve, without losing your life savings.

The gates are wide open, I share everything, all the lessons, people, templates and insights I have cultivated to benefit anybody who is trying to build a beauty, wellness, or lifestyle brand that cuts through the noise.
