...AND another $10K a month in sales.

Welcome to 1 TO 10KD: Where You Turn Your Hard-Won Wisdom in Wealth

For big thinkers, overthinkers, and culture makers ready to build the infrastructure that transforms expertise into income.

The trendy coaches are talking about $100K months. (Yay! Go girl go!)

But when I talk to big thinkers and culture makers building real bodies of work—people with deep wisdom who want to turn their expertise into wealth, not empire building—they want something different. 


They want to get their methodology out of 1:1 sessions and into a program they can sell systematically. 


They want the structure and guidance to actually get shit done, quickly instead of being locked inside their head at the mercy of uncertainty, perfectionism (ahh the curse of high standards!) and overthinking every decision


They want to build their email list from 480 subscribers (where it's been for 10 years) to 1,000 right-fit people who actually want to buy from them -- or add another 1000 of dream-clients who WILL buy to replace that stagnant list of 8,000 wrong-fit folks who aren't buying


They want to finally write that book -- starting with the book proposal! --  that's been living in their head for three years.


They want to turn their teaching philosophy into a course that actually transforms how people learn their craft—because real progress begins where most people stop.


They want to send out their newsletter once a week, consistently. Not sporadically when inspiration strikes, but every single week because they have a system. 


They want to write sales emails that actually convert. Not just content emails, but emails that sell their programs without feeling manipulative. 


They want to finish the certification they've been teasing and sell $1,000 of it before year-end—proof this can work. 


They want their podcast to generate actual leads instead of just being another thing they produce into the void. 


They want revenue stability: that sweet spot of their first 10K a month or adding another revenue stream of $10K/month to their existing offer shite


Not riches (well, not ONLY $$$). Not empire building. Not hype.

 

Solid infrastructure wrapped around sophisticated  work that lets them do what they're here to do -- transform, create change -- without financial anxiety. 


That's the essential, foundational, sophisticated and precise work we do in 1 to 10KD.

What "1 to 10KD" Means
The 1: Add $1K/month in new revenue + 1,000 new right-fit, ready-to-buy, dream-client subscribers 

The 10: Build infrastructure to get to another $10K/month revenue stability (+$120K/year) 

K: Thousands (and Kelly)

D: Diels. I'm Kelly Diels and I will thought-partner with you in this program until you put together the pieces that allow you to hit that 10K a month goal

In other words: you pay one program fee but you stay until you hit another 10K a month. (No arbitrary end dates!)
Why 1 to 10KD Exists

I kept seeing the same pattern. 


Brilliant people—PhDs, former executives, senior consultants, experienced coaches—not yet at $10K/month. 


Not because they lacked expertise or sophistication.


 Because they lacked IP and infrastructure. 


The infrastructure gap is real. Here's what's missing:

Gap #1: The Complexity Gap

Most business programs are built for people with simple, transactional offers. The coaches and teachers of these methods might assume you have an offer and therefore skip the part about helping you turn your expertise into curriculum (no small feat) , or urge you to quickly whip up something marketable...


even if it misses your mark.


Implicitly and even sometimes explicitly you'll get this message:


"Make it so simple anyone can understand!"

"Meet them where they're at!" 

 "Just charge premium and scale!"


Which definitely does NOT work for a transformational entrepreneur who will not compromise on their work or dumb down their expertise. (I know you know what I'm talking about...)


 You don't need simpler. You need systematic. 


What 1 to 10KD helps you build: BOTH PIECES. The complex IP, codified into a framework and built out into a product or course or offer, AND the infrastructure to get attention, get sales and to deliver it, profitably..

Gap #2: The IP/Business Gap

IP-focused teachers help you codify your methodology and develop your intellectual property. 


→ But they treat business building as "not their job." 

You end up with beautiful IP that doesn't sell. 


Business-building coaches teach you funnels, marketing, and revenue systems. 

→ But they treat IP as irrelevant. "Just solve a problem and sell it." 

You end up with an idea of how to market but not the game-changing course you know you want to create OR generic coaching offers that keep you in a calendar trap and don't leverage your actual point of view.


The gap between them is where brilliant work dies. 


What 1 to 10KD does: Both. At a very high level. From the same source. The IP you develop is DESIGNED to generate revenue, and the business you build is POWERED by your intellectual differentiation.

Gap #3: The Revenue Stage Gap

Everyone teaches either:

 "Launch your first course!" (startup mode) 

"Scale to 7 figures!" (growth mode) 


Much less sexy (but we're bringing sexy back...) but arguably the game changer is the missing middle step, Revenue Stability.


Revenue Stability is when you have the infrastructure to reach $10K/month and maintain it. 


What 1 to 10KD does: Focuses on the invisible stage between startup and scaling. Building revenue that lasts, not just launch spikes.

Gap #4: The Execution Gap

Most business programs include: 

 Facebook groups 

Slack channels 

Community threads

 Networking events 


I will die on this hill: These simulate productivity while stealing time from actual building. and we're not here to faff around. We're here to get you the infrastructure for consistent 10K months. ASAP.


What 1 to 10KD does: No simulated community. No networking obligations. No Slack channels stealing your focus. AND NO BUSY WORK. Just structure, support and accountability...


In other words: "just" what's proven to work: Weekly 2 hour group-coaching sessions with spotlights where you get thought partnership, feedback, and direction on your actual work. Then you go build and show your work next week. And lather, rinse, repeat until the business is built out to flourish.

Gap #5: The Integration Gap

Sometimes you need coaching ("What should I do?") 


Sometimes you need consulting ("Here's what to do") 


Sometimes you need collaboration ("Let's think this through together") 


Most programs only offer one mode. 


What 1 to 10KD does: All three modes of thought partnership, adapted to what you need when you need it, for as long as you need it (more on that in a minute...).

Gap #6: The Content Infrastructure Gap

You either know what to do, in theory, AND/OR you're already doing the online work: 


  •  Writing newsletters 
  • Posting on social media 
  • Building your email list 
  • Creating content 


You just need systems to make it actually generate revenue. 


What 1 to 10KD does: Strategic frameworks for the online activities you're already doing—so they build toward $10K/month instead of just filling the void.

The first 3 Wednesdays of the month you get 2-hour strategic session with direct access to me: 

How it works: 
  •  Submit your questions by Monday midnight 
  • 5 questions get live thought partnership on the call (15-20 min each) 
  • Everyone else receives a personal 5-minute Loom response within 48 hours 
  • All previous sessions recorded and archived 
  • Meetings are the first 3 Wednesdays of each month (Week 4 is integration week) from 9am to 11am Mexico City Time (MT)
  • We start Nov 5 2025

 The kind of questions we work through: 
 "I know how to do what I do, and how to explain it, but what are the exercises I need to build into each module so that my clients get it, too?"
"How do I package 15 years of expertise without oversimplifying?" 
"My work doesn't fit existing categories—how do I name it?" 
"I'm getting interest but not sales—what's the positioning or messaging problem?" 
"What's the business model that leverages my IP differentiation?" 
"How do I build recurring revenue, not just launch revenue?" 

 This is group coaching with thought partnership—collaborative strategic thinking for culture makers building real infrastructure.
