When Ipek Gray launched her business The Born Method™ — a system rooted in decades of her mother’s research but newly introduced to the US — she generated $50,000 in 1:1 coaching revenue in her first year. Booking 200 private clients in just six months as a new founder, her growth came entirely from community partnerships. By embedding herself in values-aligned groups, Ipek turned small, trusted circles into a scalable referral engine where 30% of clients were directly community members and the rest were referred by community members. In this case study, we unpack how Ipek built a profitable coaching business through a simple community-driven workshop strategy.
