Most clients hire two freelancers for this. I do both. Certified Kajabi Expert. 16 years on the platform. Top Rated Plus. Upwork's top 3%. 25 years of instructional design. One person, end to end. I'm Mark Gregory, founder of The Customer's Shoes Ltd. I build Kajabi platforms and design the courses that go inside them, together, from the start, so the two halves actually fit. Your course isn't just sitting on a well-built platform. Your platform isn't just housing well-designed content. They're built as one thing, designed to engage learners and convert your audience. That combination is genuinely rare. Most Kajabi freelancers are platform specialists. Most instructional designers aren't familiar with Kajabi. Finding someone who does both at a senior level, and is in Upwork's top 3%, is the problem this profile solves. Here's what typically happens when clients come to me: they've had a course built somewhere, or a platform set up by someone, and the two halves don't quite fit. The course doesn't map to the Kajabi structure. The platform doesn't reflect how the learning is supposed to flow. Students drop off. Conversions are lower than expected. Something just isn't joining up. I fix that, or I prevent it from happening in the first place. WHAT I DESIGN AND BUILD: — Complete Kajabi platform builds, custom website design, and branded site builds — Online course creation, curriculum design, and full instructional architecture — Sales funnels, offers, checkouts, and email sequences built to convert — Membership sites, communities, and coaching programme structures — Video editing, lesson production, script and slide development — Kajabi migrations from any platform — clean, structured, no data loss — AI chatbot integration (FastBots.ai) for student support inside Kajabi — Course audits and platform reviews with written recommendations — Book-to-course transformation — a dedicated specialism refined across dozens of projects THE END-TO-END OPTION: For clients who want everything handled in one place: strategy, course design, platform build, funnel, and launch. One point of contact. No gaps between design and delivery. No brief lost in translation between two freelancers. BEYOND THE BUILD: Ongoing coaching, mentoring, and strategic guidance for clients who want an experienced partner through launch and beyond. Not just a build and a handover. I have clients who have stayed with me for years. AI OPTIMISATION & COURSE ACCELERATION: AI is changing online learning fast, and I help clients use it properly, not just quickly. I work across the full AI ecosystem: Claude, ChatGPT, and leading generative AI tools for content, scripting, and course structure, through to FastBots.ai chatbots embedded directly into your Kajabi platform for round-the-clock student support. What makes this different is the instructional design layer behind it, 25 years of experience ensuring AI accelerates your build without hollowing out the learning quality. WHOM I WORK WITH BEST: Individuals, business entrepreneurs, coaches and consultants who want a course and a platform, not just one or the other. Experts turning books or workshops into online programmes. Entrepreneurs scaling a learning business who need someone who understands both the technology and the pedagogy. Organisations building internal training on Kajabi. WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME OVER CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES: Because the cost of getting both halves wrong, and then paying to fix them, is always higher than doing it right the first time. 16 years on Kajabi. 25 years in instructional design. Top Rated Plus. You work directly with me throughout. Most projects are quoted as a fixed price based on scope; you know exactly what you're paying before we start.

We'd choose him again for any project." — Patty Carothers, President, My Net RN READY TO TALK? Message me to arrange a complimentary 30-minute strategy call.

I help founders and professionals build higher performing businesses by combining rigorous management consulting with evidence based cognitive performance work, bringing clarity, structure, and disciplined execution to both the organization and the operator behind it. I am the founder of Have The Edge, a performance consulting firm built at the intersection of business structure and human performance. As a former KPMG consultant and KPMG trained management consultant with deep roots in behavioural science, business strategy, and cognitive performance coaching, I created the practice to address a gap that most advisory firms leave open. Many methodologies focus on fixing the business while leaving the person running it unchanged. Others focus exclusively on mindset and personal development while ignoring the realities of business execution. In my experience, sustainable success requires both. The result is a dual track approach that combines rigorous operational and strategic consulting with cognitive performance work, creating measurable outcomes at both the organizational and individual level simultaneously. I often describe it this way: it's like a mechanic who also understands the driver, because one without the other only gets you so far. My background includes: • Former C level executive across multiple organizations • Management consulting and advisory experience with KPMG • Founder, business owner, and startup advisor • MBA and CPA designation • Cognitive performance consulting and CBT informed methodology • Former martial arts school owner • Three time Team Canada National Karate Team member and Team Canada coach • Multi placement fitness competitor High performance isn't theory for me. It's lived experience. I've spent decades studying, coaching, competing, consulting, and helping individuals and organizations perform at a higher level. My philosophy is simple. - Clarity precedes execution. - Structure beats motivation. - Performance is a system, not a feeling. If you're looking for clear thinking, strategic insight, structured execution, and accountability that extends beyond the conversation itself, let's talk.

Upwork takes advantage of the Freelancers that use it. They ask for feedback and if they do not like it they downgrade your account. They granted the work when I had completed the research asked but the client did not give documents and paused a contract twice over one month. If you want to be an employee and be tracked go get a job don't let them take your money and deny your employee benefits because they treat you as an employee not a contractor
