Impact gives you all the tools you need. But it's really about how YOU apply yourself and take advantage of everything they have to offer. The coaching calls are super helpful, and I appreciate their feedback. It took a couple months, but I'm starting to really see the results. Thank you to everyone at Impact for all your help.

My experience with Impact has been incredible. They programme is designed to make you focus and work from day one in what your audience is and how to provide them with actionable, useful content that in return will help you grow. I had so much self doubt and was stuck in dreams with no action. I have worked really hard, but I am also very proud of my progress and moving out of my comfort zone. I have grown my audience from 3K to nearly 24K followers, have sold a few low ticket offers and closing a fee potential clients for hybrid coaching. There is so much I still wish to accomplish, but I feel I am in the right track and with great support from all the coaches. I would definitely recommend Impact

I’m just two months in so lots more learning to come but what I’ve done so far is so valuable to learn about going online other than just my small zoom groups who are mainly students I know from my studio. Now time to step it up and get my teaching out to more as I truly believe it’s worth it. I love that there is community connection to share and ask. I love that there are live sessions with very good teachers rather than it all being just info to work with oneself. It helps keep it real seeing people’s challenges and successes. It’s good to know you can seek help. The process not only helps one be able to learn how to be more successful online but allows you to learn a lot about yourself as well. It is a lot of work but most probably manage time wise better than me as I lack many of the general technical skills that younger people have on starting! However I’m so happy to have the course to make sure I learn it, do it and become more confident and, more speedy at it. We are encouraged to be authentic and keeping it real is important to me. I’m motivated to keep going and excited with the potential.

Before joining Impact, I was already creating content and sharing my thoughts online, but I honestly had no real understanding of how a successful online business actually works and I had 1.7k Followers on Instagram which were mostly friends, not clients. I knew how to create, but I didn’t understand how to meet people where they are, how to communicate in a way that converts, or how to turn visibility into a real business. The last few months have definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone, and at times they were hard. But after around four months inside Impact, I had gained around 50,000 new followers on Instagram, reached about 7 million monthly views, built a stable passive online business, and even started attracting brand deals because of the growth. Social media has now become my main work, and without exaggerating, it has already changed my life in a huge way. What I really appreciate about Impact is that it’s not just about visibility, mindset, or manifestation - even though I do think those things matter. You get very concrete steps, systems, backend structures, and a clear path to follow. It almost forces you to actually move, because the framework is there and you’re constantly encouraged to take action. The community has also been a huge part of it for me. Seeing other members go viral, struggle with the same things, and build real momentum alongside you makes success feel much more tangible. There’s something very powerful about experiencing that kind of growth collectively. For me, Impact helped me understand how to turn content into an actual business and I am very grateful to have found this Academy since it met me exactly at the right time when I needed it!

I am sharing my objective experience with Impact Academy to provide a transparent look at this €5,000 program for anyone considering the investment. While the basic framework exists, and the coaches do their best, the whole infrastructure failed to deliver the expert human mentorship and support promised during enrollment and the overall experience did not match what I was sold. The enrollment process involved intense, high-pressure sales tactics. When I requested time to discuss the investment with my spouse, the salesperson used emotional manipulation, telling me that if my husband loved me, he would support it. I felt pressured to pay on the live call with the person walking me through the bank transaction and providing verbal promises that my 2.0 version would be unstoppable and that "everyone else reaches 1, 2, 3 thousand per month as a conservative estimate." I implemented the strategies faithfully and had my funnel posted, but made zero sales of this offer (other than my own test). The promised mentorship was severely lacking. Group calls were heavily overcrowded, having students wait hours for a few minutes of attention. Additionally, the individual feedback for each part of the funnel seemed generic. We had access to a shared Excel sheet showing everyone's feedback, and it was evident the team was using automated ChatGPT templates slightly tailored to each niche instead of bespoke human coaching. Additionally, they relied heavily on GPT usage and pre recorded videos to help us build our full offer. I proactively flagged that I was falling behind by filling out their official monthly satisfaction forms negatively. I never received one single check in, and considering the sum of the investment one would expect some more close or individual attention, but I never received a single follow-up. Finally, when my 6-month access was about to expire and I checked if it was possible to have some more time to access the material and to finish my full offer, I was directed to a 1:1 call which ended up being basically a sales call for an expensive upsell. When I declined, they offered a brief extension and then also prompted me to write my experience / reviews on Trustpilot and Reddit in exchange for additional 2 weeks program access for each. Not only did it all feel completely transactional, but I also learned they offered $1,000 to members to read marketing scripts, which explains how their public reputation seems heavily manufactured. When I requested a refund, support stonewalled behind a rigid contract checklist, ignoring that their own lack of responsiveness, their doubtful overall performance in the academy, everything mentioned above and non existent individual support (although the premium price tag suggested otherwise) prevented my progress. Prospective students deserve an honest picture before investing such a large sum like this.

Mijn ervaring met Impact Academy Ik ben met veel enthousiasme gestart met Impact Academy. Juist de persoonlijke benadering en het idee dat er tijdens de clarity call echt naar mijn situatie, mijn bedrijf en mijn manier van werken werd gekeken, spraken mij aan. Helaas bleek mijn ervaring na het instappen heel anders. Wat mij het meest heeft teleurgesteld, is dat de persoonlijke aandacht die ik vooraf verwachtte er in de praktijk nauwelijks was. De begeleiding en calls vinden voornamelijk in groepen plaats. Voor mij maakte dat een groot verschil. Ik had juist behoefte aan persoonlijke afstemming, het kunnen stellen van mijn eigen vragen en begeleiding die aansluit bij mijn specifieke situatie. Wanneer je als ondernemer ergens instapt, vind ik het belangrijk dat er niet alleen wordt gekeken naar een algemeen stappenplan, maar ook naar de persoon achter het bedrijf. Als yogadocent is menselijk contact bovendien de basis van mijn werk. Voelen, luisteren, afstemmen en kijken naar wat iemand daadwerkelijk nodig heeft, zijn voor mij essentieel. Daarom vond ik het extra bijzonder om te ervaren dat juist dit persoonlijke aspect binnen het programma zo beperkt was. Daarnaast ervaarde ik het programma als erg exact en star. Er lijkt weinig ruimte te zijn om een andere route te kiezen wanneer die beter aansluit bij jouw persoonlijkheid, bedrijf of doelgroep. Voor mij was vooral opvallend hoe groot de nadruk ligt op Instagram. Het programma richt zich naar mijn ervaring voor een groot deel op Instagram als kanaal voor zichtbaarheid, marketing en groei. Daarom voelde het voor mij alsof ik niet zozeer werd begeleid in het ontwikkelen van mijn eigen manier van ondernemen, maar vooral werd meegenomen in een bestaand systeem dat ik vervolgens moest volgen. Voor mij kwam de werkelijkheid niet overeen met wat ik vooraf dacht te kunnen ontwikkelen. En dat heeft uiteindelijk geleid tot een behoorlijke teleurstelling.

In just the first three months I’ve made such significant strides, decisions, and progress in my business setup—I never would have expected that. All my questions are answered thoroughly—so far, I’ve always received the support I need during the group calls and within the community. I feel safe and truly well supported here, and I’m motivated throughout my journey. I also find the learning platform really easy to use and well-structured, with lots of great pro tips on top of that. And the team is fantastic—I feel like they’re truly dedicated, with genuine passion, to helping each person grow without trying to force anyone into a mold. I still have just under three months to go, and I’ll be launching my first product in the coming weeks. I’m excited to see what’s next :)

Before joining impact I knew I wanted to have more freedom in my life, to work for myself. Something clicked in me after my first clarity call. I just knew this was the path for me. Now looking back almost 5 months later, I can honestly say that joining impact was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I have gained over 100k followers across platforms (starting at literally 100 followers on insta), I have made over £1K in sales on my low ticket offer so far and hybrid coaching client. My direction feels so clear, and the vision of freedom is literally just around the corner as I have now decided to take a sabbatical on my full time job to fully dedicate my time and energy into my business with impact (maybe I won't come back to my full time work!). I just feel and know that the time and energy I've put into this is all becoming worth it! If you're on the fence about joining and ready to really take action and make it work - do it! But know that this won't work unless you do!
