Invite-Only Growth Partnership
We only get paid when you get paid.
The 100-Day Growth Partnership is a 12% profit-share engagement. No retainer. No upfront cost. You get a website, SEO, CRM, paid ads, a financial model, and operations optimization — and we only earn when your revenue grows.
The Real Definition
What the 100-Day Growth Partnership Actually Is
It's not an agency retainer. It's not a course. It's not a mastermind. It's a 100-day hands-on engagement where Cause & Effect becomes an operating partner in your business — you keep 100% ownership, we take 12% of monthly revenue for the duration of the engagement.
We absorb everything except your domain ($12/yr) and your own ad spend budget. Hosting, CRM platform, SEO tooling, labor — all on us.
The partnership has three 30-day phases, a contractual delivery guarantee, and one non-negotiable prerequisite: you have to qualify.

Invite-Only
Who Qualifies — Five Criteria
The Partnership is invite-only. Not because of vanity — because profit-share only works when both sides are fully committed.
1. Existing business or validated idea
You've either started or you've validated the concept. We don't build castles in the air.
2. 20+ hours/week of owner commitment
We can't scale a business you're only touching on weekends.
3. Coachable
You're willing to follow the system even when your instincts say otherwise.
4. Strong work ethic
We match your energy. If you're not showing up, we can't either.
5. Growth-minded scale intent
You want to scale, not maintain. This isn't a lifestyle-business engagement.
The Guarantee
Fully Operational in 100 Days — Or We Keep Working at No Additional Cost
A fully operational digital presence, lead generation system, and financial framework within 100 days — or Cause & Effect continues working at no additional cost until delivered. The profit-share model itself is the deeper guarantee: skin in the game on day one.
Case Study
Proof: One Partner, $30K/mo, 9 Months, 100+ Clients
One Cause & Effect partner followed the 100-Day Growth Partnership system end-to-end — Phase 1 infrastructure, Phase 2 financial model, Phase 3 scaling — and now runs a service business with 100+ active clients and $30,000/mo in revenue. Phase gates hit on schedule. Profit share paid out as designed.
FAQ
Frequently Asked About the Partnership
Why a profit-share model instead of a retainer? +
Because retainers misalign incentives. Agencies get paid whether you grow or not. Profit share means we only earn when you earn — and that changes every daily decision we make.
What happens if my business doesn't grow in 100 days? +
We keep working at no additional cost until the contractual deliverables (working digital presence, lead gen system, financial framework) are live. And because we don't earn unless you do, we're aggressively incentivized to make it work.
What exactly is the 12% calculated on — gross revenue or net profit? +
12% of gross monthly revenue from the business we're partnered on. Clean, simple, unambiguous. Your financial model (built by Devon in Phase 2) will show you the full picture.
Can I cancel the partnership? +
The 100-day commitment is mutual. After day 100, either side can end the engagement with notice. Most partners continue because the infrastructure and financial model stay with them.
Why 100 days and not 6 months or 12 months? +
100 days is long enough to build infrastructure, validate the financial model, and hit real revenue — but short enough that both sides stay urgent. Phase 1 sets the foundation, Phase 2 proves the unit economics, Phase 3 scales.
What happens after day 100? +
You own the site, the CRM, the financial model, and the SOPs outright. You can keep the profit-share arrangement going, switch to a fixed retainer, or run solo. We're good with any outcome as long as you're actually growing.
Who qualifies and who doesn't? +
Five criteria: existing business or validated idea, 20+ hours/week commitment, coachability, strong work ethic, growth-minded scale intent. Non-qualified founders get the commercialized services instead.
What do I have to pay for out of pocket? +
Your own domain (about $12/year) and your own paid-ad budget. That's it. Hosting (Cloudflare), CRM (GoHighLevel), SEO tooling, and all labor — we absorb.
