The Simple Company® Arvostelua 20

When I entered Tobias’ world, I longed for a business that felt lighter. Truer. More like me.

My dream: A scalable business I can profitably run in 3 hours a day, while serving my clients first-class.

Working with Tobias changed everything.
He listens deeply. Reflects honestly. And asks the kind of questions that shift everything.

He helped me untangle the complexity I had wrapped around my work and guided me to create something far more powerful in its simplicity.
Decisions became clearer. Offers became sharper.

Tobias brought clarity, calm, and simplicity.
From there, my business began to feel spacious — like it finally had room to breathe and grow.

I stopped overthinking. I started creating from my profitable core. Everything got lighter — and more powerful.

Tobias doesn’t just offer brilliant strategy.
He offers a way of being in business that feels like Zen — yet real and potent.

Thanks to Tobias, I didn’t just build a better business.
I built one that feels like a masterpiece.

It’s mine — simple, aligned, and alive.

After we were referred to Tobias and The Simple Company, we reached out. The entire experience was beyond our expectations as we have worked with other companies to help us focus on a solution that we could scale. Tobias has insight, clarity and a methodology that is so wise and insightful and simple! We would highly recommend working with him if you want to challenge your assumptions and grow an idea into something real!

Leading a service business (in my case, a strategic process consultancy) is increasingly complex. It can be difficult to get out of one's own way! Tobias and his team - through a highly structured, fast paced process - bring clarity, focus, and a step-by-step, no-nonsense way forward to expert businesses. Working quickly, they bring deep experience, a fresh and highly practical perspective, and an obvious care for their clients. They get my full endorsement.

Investing in working with Tobias and Michelle is not something you'll regret.

Late last year, my business partner and I joined the Certified Brand Consultant & BETA program and were delighted to come away with a completely transformed business.

Our biggest takeaway was the epiphany that we could niche down our target audience even further than we already had and that taking a risk and fully aligning our business to our passion was worth it.

By really diving deep into who we are and who we want to work with, we identified a big gap in the market and set ourselves up to fill it - which is so exciting and has opened up so many doors.

We've never felt more aligned with our business or on track to achieve everything we want. Our clarity and confidence are through the roof and we're well on our way to creating the business, life and world of our dreams.

We highly recommend Tobias and Michelle's talent, passion and dedication to anyone ready to transform their business. Doing the work will challenge you and push you into uncharted waters, but if you come into it all with the determination to make things better and a readiness to do the work, you will not be disappointed in the results.

After following Tobias for a few months, I took part in the BETA program. It’s been a very interesting and transformative journey with unexpected outcomes.

BETA helped me to rethink and refocus who my ideal client is and what I can and should offer them. It helped me to explore beyond what I thought I should do with my knowledge and years of experience.

I ended up creating a program to help people in the situation I was in 5/10 years ago. Something I wouldn’t have contemplated before BETA. It added an extra revenue stream to my design studio and is turning into a new exciting venture which I’m looking forward to grow.

The program also helped me to get clarity on the business engine of my studio. I now feel more in control and better at sales (without feeling like I’m selling!).

Tobias and Michelle know what they doing. They both have a huge amount of experience. They go deep, they push when needed, their advice are always gold and the techniques they teach are powerful. And more importantly they care, always making sure their clients succeed.

I was so pleased that I even enrolled in a second program, Power Play!

Go for it, you won’t regret it.

Working with The Simple Company was a great experience - you can really tell how much they care and want you to succeed. Their whole team has a ton of knowledge on how to start and scale your business. Even though this was a group coaching dynamic, the coaches were always available to meet one-on-one and dive deeper into our own individual challenges. I would confidently recommend The Simple Company to anyone interested in reaching the next level in their business!

I was able to charge 4x more. I was a student in the PowerPlay™ program with Tobias, Michelle, and the entire The Simple Company team. I can confidently say it's the best investment I've made in my business. I run a small design studio in Brazil, and thanks to all the knowledge I got with the program, I could close clients demanding much higher prices in less than 2 months after joining. I can't recommend these guys enough.

The Future Academy has been an invaluable source of education and inspiration for me. They're truly hands-on. And they care about each and every one of their customers. Not to mention, it's been a lot of fun.

I took part in the Beta™ program and it has made such a difference to our business. Within a few months, we gained clarity and confidence and managed to get our processes in place and increase our prices. Tobias, Michelle and the whole community have been so supportive and inspiring throughout our journey. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

Thank you for everything this academy provides. It the best advice I ever learned in my life- TO THE BEST- highly recommended.

I'm a designer turned strategist, with 14 years of agency experience as a Creative Strategist, Brand Strategist and Creative Director. I've been working as an independent Brand Consultant for the last 3 years and was looking into expanding my tool box and solidify my methodologies and that's how I ended up enrolling in Future Academy's Certified Brand Consultant program. And it was everything I expected and more. This is a high value program with an incredible cost-benefit, not only because of the content and tools it delivers but mostly because of Tobias Dahlberg, who's an experienced strategist and entrepreneur and an enthusiastic coach that really helped me get over some personal blockings and open the door to a new stage of my life. Through this program not only I refined my set of tools and strategy frameworks but I also found my mission and was helped to articulate it into practical actions allowing me to align my professional activity with my higher self and my core beliefs. I'm very thankful to Tobias and also Michelle Louw for the opportunity to work with them and I hope our paths cross again in the near future.

Having been a part of the Certified Brand Consultant cohort, I can tell you that The Future Academy practices what it preaches (teaches, in this case). You learn much more than Strategy & going High Ticket, here - you walk away with an elevated mindset that prepares you for greatness, higher standards for yourself, your business & the world, and a renewed take on what is really possible for you in life & business. You learn the art of Productization.

The team here holds themselves and what they deliver to the same high standards, bigger & better possibilities, and true excellence. I would fall short of the truth if I didn't tell you that they cared more for our own growth & success, than we were prepared to do ourselves.

Over about a year ago, I started my journey officially as a "Brand Strategy Consultant" - Tobias Dahlberg's freely available work (video content & podcast) had already laid the foundations for this big career move for me then. Now, I have had the privilege to be mentored by him directly and I consider it among the best investments I ever made in myself & my business.

On every scale, starting from the value of being connected to the energy & wisdom of a leader such as Tobias, going all the way to the nitty gritty of the program material, this experience has been worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend The Future Academy's programs to any Expert or Service Provider looking to level up.

Welcome to the 'true nature of brand building'. If you seek clarity and an approach to building an agency of profit and predictable outcome, look no further than The Future Academy. Having taken up many training courses in this field, TFA provided the most comprehensive and in-depth tangible approach compared to the rest. A true game-changer for anyone looking to upskill in brand building.

Tobias and Michelle are at the pinnacle of innovation in this field. The many years of experience and insight they both possess are inspiring and thought-provoking. Your business's true potential is only a click away.

Prior to joining The Future Academy (TFA) program in January 2022, I had a few doubts, my business is small so every £ counts and this felt like a big investment to me. However, I'm so happy I took that leap as my doubts were soon replaced by confidence that this was the best decision I've made as an entrepreneur. This program has been life changing for me: I feel empowered to be my unique self, clearer on my purpose and so much more confident to go out into the world! Tobias, Brian, Michelle & Kristy at The Future Academy have all been wonderful to work with, and they genuinely care about each person in the program. In addition to the great support from the TFA team, I've met some amazing peers, who have been supportive, inspiring and just lovely people. Together the group created safe spaces to be truly vulnerable, which enables transformation. I highly recommend The Future Academy for any entrepreneur and branding people out there!

At the end of 2020 I shifted from parttime entrepreneur to fulltime. From a business/workload/money perspective everything went well in my first year, but mostly because I said yes to everyone and everything. People even start asking me: "Where can you help me with, it looks like you can do it all, right?". That made me think and brought me at The Future Academy (TFA).

At TFA I followed small and large programs during 8 months. Here I've learned to choose a niche, to focus on the process and to deepen my expertise. Clarity is the word that described my experience the best. There is so much value in the program, the videos, the documents and most of all in the group calls with Tobias, Brian, Michelle and Kristy. In those calls I also met many other entrepreneurs worldwide that struggled with the same creative business issues. By sharing our experiences, difficulties, progress and successes, you saw everyone growing during the program. You learn so much from the coaches and each other.

If you are a creative entrepreneur I can absolutely recommend The Future Academy for your personal entrepreneurial growth and brand strategy development.

UPDATED: Problem solved, thank you!

6 days ago, I paid for the challenge on The Future Academy website. As I haven't received any further instructions (as a marketer, I know that happens), I wrote to the support on their sales emails. But nobody answered.
Then I wrote to support on the platform. But nobody answered.
I knocked literally on any door I can - Facebook page, Instagram of the academy, Instagram of Tobias. But you know what? Nobody answered.

I've watched all the free videos available and dreamed of taking a Brand Mastery course, but with such client support, I'm afraid how will I get my regular questions answered. So disappointed.

I am truly happy to have found The Future Academy and the amazing Tobias Dahlberg. This was a transformative few months. Not only did he help me streamline my business (which I am grateful for), he made an incredibly positive impact on my mindset and daily habits. Because of working closely with Tobias and The Future Academy, I have many new skills, a powerful new framework and a renewed confidence to leave my positive mark on the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Three months ago, I felt quite lost in my own business. I knew I wanted to grow and I had so many different ideas that were all competing for my attention. Paired with an unhealthy dose of perfectionism and fear of losing face, I got stuck. At the same time, I had nobody to look up to. My friends are all teachers or government employees and have no idea about the entrepreneurial life I chose. If anything it makes them scared.

Three months later, I'm the most confident in the skill set that I've ever been. I can proudly say that I am one of the best at what I do. I have a clear plan of what I want to achieve and how I'm going to get there. And maybe most importantly, you made me feel seen and understood.

Thank you very much for this huge leap of growth.

Working with Tobias has truly been the best investment of my 13+ year career as a creative entrepreneur. I continue to learn and grow my business through the knowledge I’ve gained with The Future Academy. His ability to take seemingly complex systems and ideas and turn them into simple, relatable frameworks and models is nothing short of incredible. If you’re even considering a coach for your creative business, look no further; you’ve found your home here.

Working with Tobias and Brian over the last year has been awesome. They have transformed my company (and me) from the typical, struggling freelance design gig, working project to project, into a business that actually works! I now have a predictable way to generate new clients and a packaged up offer that sells. The programmes they offer really guide and educate a creative business to run efficiently.

A year ago today, I never would have imagined building what we have achieved together. It has been the best journey of my 10-year career, and I am so excited to continue growing my business with The Future Academy.

Thanks Tobias and Brian, I couldn't have done it without you two - you guys are awesome! :)
