In this training, we have brought together ALL of our big takeaways we have had while teaching hundreds of students about teams. By the end of our time together you will:

Get your time back.

Stop hustling and start thriving.

We know you are overwhelmed, overworked, feeling under paid. Don't worry! We have the solution for you. You have heard so many other creatives are building their teams, and now you're intrigued. Cut through the countless hours of learning the hard way and let us help you unlock your dream life!

Join the Waitlist

You're fed up with the idea that you are short-staffed. You want to work less and book more but how?!

"I've hired before and it ended badly. How is this any better than what I did?"

Many think they can just trust their gut when it comes to hiring. After all, you're intelligent and you know people--it's how you built your business. Right? Wrong. Without a system and a detailed plan, you'll find yourself caught in the hiring trap, figuring out how to fire, and making costly mistakes. 

"I am so busy, I don't have time for this course...do I?"

Oh girl, we know it!! We know how many hats you are wearing but, as your friend, we have to tell you that anyone can spare an hour that will come back to them 25 fold!! Watch it over breakfast; think of it as friends just hanging out!

"How do I know if this mini course is the right fit for me?"

Are you...overworked? Understaffed? In need of support? Are you a women owned business? Do you like hanging with friends who genuinely can help? You are in the right place!! Whether you've hired before or not, we promise it's never been THIS easy!! We've got you fully supported my friend!

"How do I know a quality candidate when I see one? I want someone I can trust!"

Nobody wants to have to fire someone shortly after the exhausting work of hiring them. That's why we share honest feedback on what to look for in a candidate so you can hire confidently and feel at ease knowing this is someone you can truly trust with your business. 

Perhaps this is your first hire (Congrats!!) or you've hired without success. We meet you where you are at with results that lead to you working less--sweet!

Sound familiar?

I am terrified to hire the wrong person.

We believe that building your team can unlock an entirely new world for you-- but we know it can be hard to find the right people you trust!

Want to feel confident finding great talent in the sea of people?

Want to feel excited knowing where (and how) to connect with strong candidates?

Want to feel organized knowing exactly which steps to take to make it happen?

Stop thinking you can just "trust your gut" and "wing it!"

The moment you stepped onto this page, we became best friends. So as your best friend, we need you know that winging it when hiring is a bad idea! So take a deep breath and know that we've got you! We will walk you step-by-step through the process and get you the results you've been wanting--but haven't known how to get!

Change is scary, and the idea of growing a team can feel downright overwhelming. But you don't have to go it alone - use us! Our Intensive curriculum was intentionally designed to accelerate the development and growth of your business by 2-3 years in just three short months!

We teach you how to lead your team like an empowering coach, instead of an order-barking boss.

When you think of “leadership,” what pops into your mind? Professional growth seminars that come with a hefty price tag and too many growth charts and workflows to count? 

Complicated + boring = unattainable. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

That’s why we’ve developed the 12-week Building Your Team Course. Trust us, there are deep pitfalls to dodge when building your team — the kind of pitfalls that can ruin your business.

We want you and your business to have a huge impact, and you can do that by surrounding yourself with the right people.

Warning: Before you go on...

This program is not for you if you’re looking for the run of the mill internet course you’ll buy and never use.

AIMEE F.

"I have taken a few courses in my day and no other program has given me the take-aways like TAG did.

I really needed a program with tools to grow my team, learn the options I had with the team, and really approach my business in a smart way to set myself up for success. Ashley and Dale balance each other perfectly in this program; I felt like I was getting a 2-in-1 approach."

Michelle V.

This was one of the best business decisions I have made so far! I was at the very beginning stages of having a team when I started it, and Ashley and Dale went through everything I needed to set my company up the best way for my vision."

Jenny A. 

"This program is a true blessing and a resource that I can refer back to as I add new team members and continue to dream big.

I knew that if I wanted to scale up without losing my mind and also service my clients well, I needed to bring in some help. Ashley and Dale covered all of the bases from mindset, to hiring, to leadership skills...they were an open book with NO FLUFF!"

Janel H.

"When I initially thought about growing my business, I was terrified about where to begin, but this course was absolutely fantastic!


With their calm approach, an excellent group of expert panelists, bonuses, and the support from their team... my fears subsided and I was able to get past my ""what if's""! I HIGHLY recommend these amazing people to those looking to grow build their businesses!"

Krista C.

"Take it from me: this will help you get where you need to be with a framework built to help you grow! DO IT!!

I was FULLY skeptical, but can confidently say I've learned tangible steps that give me the vision for where my business and energy need to go in order to scale my business properly. You'll walk away with direction and hope that you can really buy your time back!

ivan w.

"I was flying by the seat of my pants in the first 6 years of running my wedding planning business, but once I heard about this course, I knew I had to jump in!

I trusted Ashley because of the successful businesses she’s worked on outside of TAG. My business has grown and added new team members since my investment! I’m so grateful I jumped in!"

Laine P.

"Before this course, I was completely lost in my business and didn’t know which direction to go. 

I knew I wanted to grow my team but had no clue how. Dale + Ashley answered all of the questions I had and more that I didn’t know that I needed to ask. They gave me the confidence to grow my business and team the proper way! I will be forever grateful for this program!

We know you’ve worked extremely hard to create this thriving business, and we’re passionate about helping you grow your dream.

At The Abundance Group, we believe you deserve to breathe. To rest. To concentrate on the parts of the business that you’re passionate about, and hand off the parts you aren’t.

You should be able to do it without feeling like you’re risking what you’ve worked so hard to build. In fact, you should be able to do this while your business generates tens of thousands more in revenue each year.

The only way you can do it is by building a team you trust. 

At The Abundance Group, we know how to help you build a dependable, efficient team — because we’ve built our own and helped countless others build theirs.

While Ashley's wedding planning business has grown into a team of over 40 planners across 10 states - grossing over $5 million in sales (and counting), it definitely didn't start that way.

Once her workload had outgrown the number of hours available in the day, Ashley knew the only way to grow her business and regain a sense of balance was to grow a team. Sound familiar?

Luckily, Ashley's dad, Dale, a highly-coveted leadership development coach for some of the largest fortune 500 companies, was there to guide her in scaling the company she's built today.

Along the way, they found that they needed to grow their team at TAG. This is where Kayla comes in. A former public school teacher, reformer of education law, and entrepreneur herself was just what this team needed so they begged her to come aboard and have lovingly referred to her as the adopted daughter in this now trio! 

We love coaching small business owners through the process of building a team and we are known to have quite a bit of fun doing it! 

Their motto is - Build Your Team. Live Your Dream. They want to help 15,000 service based business owners do just that!
