The promise

Operating assets—not another folder of videos.

Every week produces something you can use in the business. The work is implementation-led and deliberately bounded.

Honest proof

Tyler has real operator results inside Key City Digital: 65+ active clients and $20K+ in monthly recurring revenue as of August 2026. Lackey Works does not yet claim a large library of coaching-client outcomes.

  4. 04Reviews of your offer, pricing, proposals, sales process, and campaigns.
  5. 05Relevant templates and checklists with confidential KCD information removed.
  6. 06A personalized 90-day execution plan at the end of the engagement.

The client build

Eight weeks. Eight operating assets.

The sequence moves from market and offer through sales, delivery, retention, and the next 90 days.
  1. Week 1

    Baseline, market, and positioning

    Audit where you are today, pick a narrow market, and write positioning a prospect can repeat back.

  2. Week 2

    Offer, scope, and recurring pricing

    Define one recurring offer with clear scope and pricing you can defend.

  3. Week 3

    Lead generation

    Choose a primary channel and build a weekly outreach routine you can sustain.

  4. Week 4

    Sales and follow-up

    A simple discovery call, proposal, and follow-up sequence that closes without pressure.

  5. Week 5

    Client onboarding

    Kickoff, intake, and expectation-setting that prevents scope creep later.

  6. Week 6

    Fulfillment and reporting

    Deliver on time with checklists and reporting that keeps clients confident.

  7. Week 7

    Retention, delegation, and SOPs

    Reduce churn, document the work, and hand off your first tasks.

  8. Week 8

    Personalized 90-day operating plan

    Leave with a written plan, weekly numbers to track, and the next three decisions.

Fit

Who this is for—and who it isn't.

Coaching only works when the fit is right. Read both columns honestly before you apply.
Strong fit
  • You want to build a local or niche agency on recurring revenue, not one-off projects.
  • You're below roughly $10K/month recurring and want a clearer offer and sales process.
  • You'll do your own prospecting and selling—you want a better process, not a shortcut.
  • You can commit 8–10 hours a week for eight weeks.
  • You want honest feedback from someone still doing the work.
Not a fit
  • You want done-for-you lead generation, sales, or fulfillment.
  • You're looking for guaranteed clients or a specific revenue outcome.
  • You're already well past $10K/month and need scaling systems, not foundations.
  • You can't commit weekly time to implement between sessions.
  • You want a course to consume rather than work to ship.

Boundaries

Clear access. Clear responsibility.

The coaching is designed to create momentum without turning into another always-on service business.
Included
  • Coaching, review, direct feedback, and implementation planning
  • Defined weekly calls and written next actions
  • Bounded weekday messaging support
  • Templates Tyler actually uses or has adapted inside KCD
Not included
  • Done-for-you websites, advertising, fulfillment, or prospecting
  • Unlimited calls, instant replies, or emergency support
  • A supplied client list or someone else running your business
  • Guaranteed clients, revenue, profit, or repeatable outcomes

FAQ

Know what you're applying for.

The fit call is for any question that remains after these.
Is this a course or group program?

No. The Founding Five is an eight-week private coaching engagement. There is no prerecorded curriculum to consume and no community you are expected to keep up with.

Do I need an existing agency?

You can be pre-revenue, but you should already be committed to a market and willing to prospect and sell. The program is strongest for owners with their first clients or a service they are ready to take to market.

Will Tyler get clients for me?

No. You do the prospecting, selling, and delivery. Tyler helps you choose the process, reviews the work, and gives direct feedback as you implement it.

What happens between calls?

You can send questions and work for review on weekdays. Written responses are provided within one business day; the engagement does not include unlimited or emergency access.

Are results guaranteed?

No. KCD's operating history demonstrates Tyler's experience, not what any coaching client will earn. Results depend on your market, decisions, execution, time, and many factors outside Tyler's control.

What happens after I apply?

Tyler reviews each application personally. If the fit looks right, you will receive a link for a short fit call. Payment and scheduling happen only after the scope and agreement are clear.
