Your business has seasons.

The next move for your business changes as it evolves.

Knowing what your business needs right now is just as important as knowing where you want it to go.

Sounds like you?

Maybe you…

  • Have more ideas than direction, and you're not sure which one to build first.
  • Know your stuff, but second-guess every decision about how to sell it.
  • Show up for a few weeks, go quiet, then start again from zero.
  • Have collected strategies, templates and courses, but nothing quite sticks.
  • Are doing it all on your own, and it's lonelier than anyone told you.

Imagine instead…

  • Knowing what your business needs next, and what can wait.
  • Making decisions you trust, without asking five people first.
  • Being seen by the right people, without forcing a version of yourself that isn't you.
  • Selling what you know, without feeling you're not ready yet.
  • Growing your business without burning out or simply doing more.
  • Building alongside people who get it.

All of this is possible. You don't need more information — you need clarity on what matters, confidence in your decisions and the ability to keep moving.

That's why we created Building Cycles.

Five distinct stages of growth designed to meet you where you are and give you the strategy, support and momentum to move forward.

You're not doing it alone

A room of people building alongside you — moving through it together.

How every Cycle works

Three things, worked together.

Each Cycle has its own focus, but they all run on the same method. A strategy alone rarely holds — so in every Cycle we work on three things at once.

01

Strategic Clarity

Know your next move.

The practical side: your offer, audience, messaging, systems and numbers — the concrete things your business needs at this stage, built step by step in live sessions.

02

Inner Coherence

Believe you're the one to do it.

The inner work woven into every Cycle — coaching and somatic tools to work with the doubts, beliefs and fears that come up, so you can trust your decisions and back them.

03

Motion

Make acting cost less.

A steady live rhythm, a group building alongside you and simple systems that make showing up easier — so you keep moving between sessions, and find your way back when you stall.

Five Cycles

What's inside Building Cycles

Five live Cycles — Foundations, Visibility, Signature, Ecosystem and Traction — each designed for a different stage of your business.

01

Foundations Cycle

Build a business that makes sense.

Get clear on your audience, offer, brand essence and business model, while doing the inner work to build the confidence and clarity to back your decisions. Leave with a strong foundation you can build on.

Sounds like you? You've got the idea, the skill, the experience — but you can't yet say in one sentence what you sell, who it's for, or why someone would pay. Maybe you're perfecting a logo and a website before your first €1,000, or pricing off what you'd personally pay. This is where all of that gets clear.
4 months Live 3×/month · Mondays 4pm–5:30pm CET Next cohort: starts 4 Jan 2027

You'll get clear on

  • What you're selling
  • Who you're selling it to
  • The problem you're solving — and who you're solving it for
  • Your brand foundations & messaging
  • What you want to offer
  • Why people will pay for it
  • What makes your offer different
  • How to position what you do
  • How your offer, audience and business model fit together
  • What you actually need to focus on now — and what can wait

You'll package it all in a website we build together with AI.

Outcome: you leave with a clear business foundation and a direction you can actually act on.

What's included in every Cycle

  • 14 90-minute business coaching calls with Merce (3 calls per month plus one week for implementation)
  • Group support between calls so that we can connect, celebrate, answer questions, and move you forward faster
  • Relevant templates, materials, and other content tailored to the group so that you have exactly what you need to move forward the fastest

Investment

€497

paid in full, or 4 monthly payments of €137 (€548 total)

02

Visibility Cycle

Get your business out there, in front of the right people.

Work through what’s keeping you from being seen, then build a visibility strategy that helps you show up consistently, build genuine connection and create the right opportunities for your business.

Sounds like you? You've tried the posts, the reels, maybe the ads — and it went quiet. “Social media just isn't for me,” “the algorithm is rigged,” “I don't have time to create content.” The tactics were never the problem — using them without a system was. This is where you build one you can repeat.
4 months Live 3×/month · Tuesdays 4pm–5:30pm CET Next cohort: starts 2 Feb 2027

You'll build

  • Your organic marketing strategy
  • Social media foundations rooted in authenticity
  • Your core messaging and content pillars
  • A long-form organic channel beyond social media

You'll package it all in a website we build together with AI — whether you're updating it or making it for the first time.

We'll do the visibility work

  • Your visibility strategy, your blocks and your authentic essence
  • A simple system for consistently getting your business in front of potential customers
  • The pieces that turn attention into interest, and interest into action
Outcome: your business is no longer just an idea or something you work on behind the scenes. It exists in the world, is easy to find, and clearly communicates why someone should buy from you.

What's included in every Cycle

  • 14 90-minute business coaching calls with Merce (3 calls per month plus one week for implementation)
  • Group support between calls so that we can connect, celebrate, answer questions, and move you forward faster
  • Relevant templates, materials, and other content tailored to the group so that you have exactly what you need to move forward the fastest

Investment

03

Signature Cycle

Turn what you know into something you can sell.

Develop your offer, framework and experience, while doing the inner work to confidently package your expertise into something people genuinely want to buy.

Sounds like you? You know your stuff — but it's still trapped in your head, in DMs, in one-off client work. You keep telling yourself you need one more course or certification before you can package it. You don't. The gap was never knowledge; it's turning what you already know into something people can buy.
4 months Live 3×/month · Wednesdays 4pm–5:30pm CET Next cohort: starts 3 Mar 2027

You'll get clear on

  • What to teach
  • Who it's for
  • The transformation you deliver
  • Your signature framework or method
  • Program or product structure
  • Curriculum and content
  • Your delivery model
  • Pricing and packaging
  • Creating the actual product or program
  • Preparing it to sell

This isn't simply "how to create a course." The emphasis is on creating a signature offer that can become an important part of your business.

Outcome: you leave with a signature offer built and ready to sell — a product or program that can become a core part of your business.

What's included in every Cycle

  • 14 90-minute business coaching calls with Merce (3 calls per month plus one week for implementation)
  • Group support between calls so that we can connect, celebrate, answer questions, and move you forward faster
  • Relevant templates, materials, and other content tailored to the group so that you have exactly what you need to move forward the fastest

04

Ecosystem Cycle

Build a journey that converts.

Decide your offer, map your customer journey, then create and launch the lead magnet, pages and emails that take people from first click to sale, while doing the inner work behind the identity shift of selling on repeat.

Sounds like you? You already have a powerful signature offer, but your traffic is scattered across other offers, leaving it without the attention it deserves. You know a funnel could change that, guiding the right people towards the right offer, but the tech, pages and emails have kept it on your to-do list. Here, you'll bring it all together into a complete funnel system that makes better use of your organic traffic and is ready for paid ads when you're ready to scale.
4 months Live 3×/month · Thursdays 10am–11:30am CET Next cohort: dates announced soon

We'll work through

  • The identity shift from selling one by one to selling on repeat
  • Deciding the offer your funnel will sell
  • Mapping your customer journey
  • Deciding, creating and launching your lead magnet
  • Your tech setup
  • Your opt-in page
  • Your sales page
  • Email marketing that nurtures and sells
  • The metrics that tell you what's working
  • Connecting it all
  • Looking ahead: what to improve next
Outcome: you leave with your own funnel built, connected and live — a system that sells your offer on repeat, without you chasing every sale.

What's included in every Cycle

  • 14 90-minute business coaching calls with Merce (3 calls per month plus one week for implementation)
  • Group support between calls so that we can connect, celebrate, answer questions, and move you forward faster
  • Relevant templates, materials, and other content tailored to the group so that you have exactly what you need to move forward the fastest

05

Traction Cycle

Bring intentional traffic to your funnel.

Set up, launch and read your own ad campaigns, from tech and campaign setup to ad sets, creative and optimisation, so paid traffic flows into your existing funnel with intention, not guesswork.

Sounds like you? Your funnel works when people find it — but not enough people find it. You've boosted a post or two, or put money into ads and hoped for the best. You're not sure what to test, what the numbers mean, or when to change something. This is where ads become a decision, not a gamble.
4 months Live 3×/month · Fridays 10am–11:30am CET Next cohort: dates announced soon

We'll work through

  • Your tech setup
  • Campaign setup
  • The ad set level: audience, placements and budget
  • Ad creative that speaks to the right people
  • Connecting your ads to your funnel
  • The metrics that matter
  • Launching your campaign
  • Campaign analysis
  • Campaign optimisation

The Traction Cycle works on a funnel you already have. If you don't have one yet, start with the Ecosystem Cycle.

Outcome: you leave with your own ad campaigns live and connected to your funnel, and the confidence to read the numbers and decide what to change.

What's included in every Cycle

  • 14 90-minute business coaching calls with Merce (3 calls per month plus one week for implementation)
  • Group support between calls so that we can connect, celebrate, answer questions, and move you forward faster
  • Relevant templates, materials, and other content tailored to the group so that you have exactly what you need to move forward the fastest

When we meet

A rhythm you can plan around.

Each Cycle has its own live call — three times a month, at the same time — so you always know when to show up. Everything's recorded if you can't make it live.

Foundations Cycle Turn an idea into a real business Mondays4pm–5:30pm CET · 3×/month Starts4 Jan 2027
Visibility Cycle Get the right people to notice you Tuesdays4pm–5:30pm CET · 3×/month Starts2 Feb 2027
Signature Cycle Turn expertise into an offer you can sell Wednesdays4pm–5:30pm CET · 3×/month Starts3 Mar 2027
Ecosystem Cycle Make every offer work together Thursdays10am–11:30am CET · 3×/month StartsComing soon
Traction Cycle Bring the right people to your funnel Fridays10am–11:30am CET · 3×/month StartsComing soon

All live calls run in CET (Central European Time) and are recorded, so you can catch up any time. Same time every session — easy to build into your week.

Even though the schedules are compatible, we generally don't recommend taking all the Cycles at the same time. They follow a logical order, from Foundations to Traction, in line with the stages of a growing business — but if you've already been through a Foundations or Visibility stage, you can jump straight into Signature or Ecosystem, for example.

Is it for you?

Building Cycles is for you if…

It's for you if…

  • You have a business — or an idea you're ready to make real — and you want focused support on one stage at a time.
  • You're tired of piecing it together from free content and half-finished courses.
  • You know there's no shortcut, and you're ready to give four months to building.
  • You want the strategy and the inner work, not one without the other.
  • You'd rather build in good company than on your own.

It's not for you if…

  • You're looking for a quick fix or guaranteed results.
  • You want someone to do the marketing for you — that's what our Marketing Partner is for.
  • You want fully personalised 1:1 support — have a look at Alongside · 1:1 Coaching.
Portrait of Merce, founder of Forget the Office
How did we get here?

Hi, I'm Merce. I've been there too.

I started out as a corporate lawyer, then built my own marketing agency from scratch — with no agency experience, and a lot of limiting beliefs coming straight to the surface.

If you're anything like I was, you've told yourself you need one more course before you're ready. You've started and stopped more times than you'd like to admit. And you've quietly wondered whether you're just not cut out for this.

I get it. The hard part was never information. It was knowing what was right for me, trusting I could do it, and learning to stay in motion — through the starts and stops, the ADHD hurdles, the empty bank account and the times I fell off the wagon.

Building Cycles is the support I wish I'd had: strategy, inner work and a room of people building alongside you, one stage at a time.

Read my story

Foundations, clarity — and a business that finally feels aligned

The most impactful part was the container itself — having a step-by-step to build the foundations, with your support, woven together with somatic tools.

The program helped me stretch my capacity to be with discomfort, and so to hold a more authentic and aligned vision for my business. I set the foundations of my business, which means a lot — and I started to believe, and see as a real possibility for me, that I can live from my business in an easeful and expansive way.

Tangibly: a business foundation, more clarity in my brand and messaging, a more rooted vision and mission, and somatics much more integrated as part of my business. My favourite practices are grounding with length, depth and width, and playing with the energetics of the next version of myself I want to embody.

The space we hold

Built for how you're actually wired.

We meet you as you truly are.

Trauma-informed

We move at the pace of trust — no shame, no pressure, none of the "just push through it." How you feel in your body shapes what you can build, so we make room for it instead of overriding it.

Neurodivergent-oriented

Built by an ADHD founder, for brains that don't run in straight lines. Clear and structured without being rigid — designed to work with how you're wired, not against it, so momentum finally feels possible.

Radically inclusive

Everyone belongs here. We're actively committed to equality and non-discrimination — whatever your race, gender, sexual orientation, background or story. You get to show up and grow exactly as you are.

The world needs more businesses that feel like the people who run them.

The world needs more founders who build at a pace they can keep.

The world needs more people brave enough to be seen trying.

By joining Building Cycles, you're becoming one of them.

Frequently asked questions

Good questions, honest answers.

How long is each Cycle, and when do we meet?

Each Cycle runs for four months, with three live 90-minute group calls a month plus one week for implementation, always at the same time: Foundations on Mondays, Visibility on Tuesdays and Signature on Wednesdays, 4pm–5:30pm CET; Ecosystem on Thursdays and Traction on Fridays, 10am–11:30am CET.

What if I can't make a live session?

Every session is recorded, so you can catch up whenever suits you.

Do I have to take the Cycles in order?

No. They follow a natural order, from Foundations to Traction, in line with the stages of a growing business — but you start wherever your business is right now. If you've already been through a Foundations or Visibility stage, you can go straight into Signature or Ecosystem. The one thing to know: the Traction Cycle works on a funnel you already have.

Can I take more than one Cycle at a time?

The schedules are compatible, so you can — but we generally don't recommend it. Most people get much more from focusing on one Cycle at a time.

How much does it cost?

Each Cycle is priced on its own, and you can pay in full or in 4 monthly payments. You'll find the full details at the end of each Cycle above.

When does Building Cycles start?

The first cohorts start in 2027: Foundations on 4 January, Visibility on 2 February and Signature on 3 March. Start dates for Ecosystem and Traction will be announced soon. Join the waitlist and you'll be first to hear when doors open.

Do I need any experience with inner or somatic work?

None at all. You don't need experience or any particular belief about it — just a willingness to notice what's happening in your body. Merce guides every part of it.

Is it a good fit if I'm neurodivergent or carry a trauma history?

Building Cycles is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-oriented — built by an ADHD founder, for brains that don't run in straight lines. That said, coaching isn't therapy: if you're going through a mental-health crisis right now, please get support from a mental-health professional first.

How is this different from The Motion Room or Alongside?

Building Cycles is focused group coaching to build one specific part of your business over four months. The Motion Room is ongoing support to keep you moving between builds, and Alongside is fully personalised 1:1 coaching with Merce. And The Lobby is a self-paced overview of the foundations, if you'd rather start on your own before choosing a Cycle.
