Beyond the Hourly Rate® is the roadmap to build the engine of a powerful and profitable business.
Feeling stuck trying to grow the business you love?
Being good at what you do and knowing how to run a business are two completely different skillsets. That’s why so many brilliant coaches and consultants plateau.
Right now you might be:
Tied to your laptop, working long hours but still not seeing the results you want
- Unsure how to find clients, price confidently or sell without feeling awkward
- Stuck not knowing what to do next, leaving you scattered and drained
- Losing confidence in yourself
- On a ticking time bomb to make this work before you have to give up and get a job
You’ve poured your heart into your business, but instead of feeling proud and accomplished, you’re second-guessing everything.
It’s exhausting, frustrating, and isolating.

MEET SARAH DAVIES
Hi, I'm Sarah
Business Strategist, Coach and Your Biggest Cheerleader.
Over 25 years, I’ve worked internationally with world-leading brands, built and sold two successful businesses, and trained hundreds of coaches and consultants to grow profitable, in-demand businesses. I teach my clients a system that they can implement to 3x their revenue in twelve months. My background spans the agency world, entrepreneurship, and coaching - so I understand both the corporate pace and the realities of building a business from scratch.
I created Beyond the Hourly Rate® because I saw too many brilliant people give up on their dream. Not from lack of talent, but because no one had ever taught them how to build a business model that works. My mission is to change that. I want to give you the clarity, strategy and confidence to scale your expertise and build a thriving business that pays you what you’re worth - and aligns to your values.
I live and breathe being intentional - and when you start working with your own roadmap, you will too. When you focus your time and energy - where it matters most, every day, momentum builds fast.
Here’s the truth:
80% of the problems you’re wrestling with aren’t unique — they’re predictable. And predictable problems have predictable solutions.
-
Talented but invisible
we help you build an identity so strong your competitors become irrelevant
-
Chasing tactics with no strategy
we replace confusion with one clear roadmap
-
Running out of time before the money runs out
we help you create a profitable, predictable business that pays you what you’re worth
When those roadblocks are gone, you stop firefighting and finally get your time back. Time to make an impact. Time to serve your clients. Time to build the business you set out to create.
My mission is simple:
...to give you the roadmap, tools and support you need to build a business you’re proud of, one that gives you financial certainty and the freedom to thrive.
Beyond the Hourly Rate®
Your step-by-step path to success.
Most coaches and consultants build their business on assumption - only to find out when they are exhausted that it’s not going to fly.
That’s why the very first step in Beyond the Hourly Rate® is about getting evidence - proof that people will pay for what you offer, before you invest any more time, energy and money.
You’ll move through five phases, implementing as you go. Each one builds on the last, giving you clarity, confidence and momentum at every stage.
Your roadmap to being In Demand
Every thriving business follows the same predictable path, when you work through the roadmap in order, you stop relying on luck, overcome being stuck, and start building a business that’s profitable, scalable and in demand.
Beyond the Hourly Rate®
gets you results whether you’re just starting out and want to get it right the first time, or you’re established but have gaps.
Every coaching and consulting business goes through stages on the journey to becoming profitable and in demand.
At each stage, inevitable challenges show up, each one with a practical solution.
See where you are on your journey to being In Demand.

Terri had a reached a plateau, now she's motivated, connected has found new direction.
Any questions?
Since I’ve been working in this space for a couple of decades now, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what you might be wondering about at this point!
What types of businesses are in the program?
We have people from all different backgrounds in the program including creatives, coaches and consultants. Some are solopreneurs, some have a support team behind them, such as a VA, bookkeeper, contractors and/or digital marketer and the larger ones are starting to grow their teams.
What if I can’t attend the live calls?
All trainings are recorded and available on replay within 48 hours.
Do you cover all social media platforms?
No, I focus predominantly on Business Facebook groups and Linked in, because that’s where I’m seeing the best results with my clients.
How do I get the most out of the program?
Show up to all the sessions, and block time in your diary for implementation. This isn’t a course where you just consume content, it’s what you do with that knowledge that will actually make the difference in your business.
What is the cancellation policy?
You may leave the program at any time but there are no refunds. Please read the Terms and Conditions thoroughly before signing up. If you select to pay monthly you are bound a legal contract to pay for the remaining months of your agreement.
I’m only just starting my business is this right for me?
Yes. Beyond the Hourly Rate® is great for business owners who want to get it right first time, avoid trial and error and start earning what they are worth.
I’ve been in business a while is this the right option for me?
Yes. If you want to be proactive and currently have gaps in your foundations, Beyond the Hourly Rate® will help you to quickly identify what those areas are then support you with the expertise, training and resources from the toolbox to implement change.
Do you guarantee I’ll get results from the program?
I have helped numerous service businesses to achieve their goals, pivot when needed and build solid foundations. However, your success is your responsibility and there are too many external factors to ever guarantee results. You need to be prepared to put in the work, be coachable, be held accountable and be proactive.
Do you teach all the technical aspects of running a business?
No. My personal view is that there are enough imperative tasks to running a business already. Yes you can build a business and DIY everything, but that’s the slow road. You’ll grow faster, start earning sooner and save a heap of brain ache by implementing a solid strategy and being client focused rather than tinkering around with code and all the technical aspects. I do, however, run a monthly Basic Tech Call to help you upskill and get your questions answered and we have an extensive network of trusted experts that I can refer you to.
Are there any 1:1 sessions?
You will be fully supported in the mentorship. However, there are no 1:1 sessions. If you wish, you can purchase 1:1 sessions with any of our expert coaches at an additional cost.
