Community Guidelines
This Room Operates at a Different Level
You're not just in a program — you're in an elite mentorship. The standard here is higher. The investment is higher. The expectation of how you show up for yourself, for this process, and for your fellow VIP members is higher. Bring that energy every single time.
What Happens in This Room Stays in This Room
VIP members share real numbers, real strategies, and real breakthroughs. None of that leaves this group under any circumstances. No screenshots. No references to other members' businesses without explicit permission. You protect this space the way you want yours protected.
You Are Here to Be Transformed — Act Like It
Passive membership is not an option at this tier. Show up to every 1:1 prepared. Engage between sessions. Complete your action items. The depth of your results over six months will be a direct reflection of the depth of your commitment.
This Space Is Reserved for the Work
Do not use the VIP channel or any shared spaces to promote external services, products, or programs. This environment is protected so that the focus stays entirely on the work we are doing inside this mentorship.
Direct. Honest. Elevated.
At this level, feedback is frequent and it is real. You will give it and receive it. Learn to sit in honesty without defensiveness — that skill alone will change your business and your life. Drama, gossip, and victim-mindset have no seat at this table.
You Own Every Result — Good and Bad
I will pour into you for six months — strategy, structure, skill, and support. But what happens in your business is your responsibility. If you're falling behind, struggling, or unsure, you speak up immediately. Silence is the only thing I cannot work with.
Communication Guidelines
Response Times
I respond within 24–48 business hours, Monday–Friday. For urgent matters, mark your subject line "URGENT" and I'll prioritize it.
Office Hours
9am–5pm EST, Monday–Friday. Messages outside these hours are answered the next business day. I am fully offline on weekends and major holidays.
How to Reach Me
- Questions & check-ins: support.team@chicbythelayers.com
- Session scheduling: Book Here
- Urgent: same email, subject "URGENT"
What Counts as Urgent Read This
- Technical issue blocking your material access
- Billing issue affecting your program access
- Time-sensitive cohort matter
General questions and strategy are not urgent — they wait for our next 1:1 or regular response window.
Scheduling & Sessions
As a VIP member you have bi-weekly 1:1 sessions with me directly. Book at this link. Schedule at least 24–48 hours in advance.
Give me at least 24–48 hours' notice if you need to reschedule. Last-minute cancellations under 24 hours may result in a forfeited session. I understand life happens — but communicate early. Your 1:1 time is yours and I hold it for you.
- Come with specific questions or challenges you want to work through
- Have relevant numbers, context, or background ready
- Show up with an open mind and the willingness to be pushed
Our 1:1s are high-touch and action-oriented. You leave every session with specific next steps to execute before we meet again. If sessions are recorded, you'll receive the link within 24 hours via email.
How to Win This Program
Show Up Fully
Every 1:1 — quiet space, distractions gone, ready to work. You invested $8,000. Honor that in how you show up.
Do the Work Between Sessions
What happens between our calls is where the money is made. Implementation is everything at this level.
Be Brutally Honest
Tell me what's actually going on — the real numbers, the real blocks, the real fear. I can only meet you where you actually are.
Ask Everything
You have direct access. Use it. No question is beneath this level — silence is the only thing that limits your result.
Trust the Process
Six months is a long game. There will be uncomfortable weeks. Stay in it — that's where the breakthrough lives.
Celebrate Your Wins
Every milestone counts. I need to hear your progress — big and small. Acknowledgment is part of building the belief that sustains you.

My Commitment to You
"You are at the highest tier I offer.

You will feel the difference of the VIP room."
— Mercedes R. · Chic By The Layers Pro
I'm offline on weekends and holidays. I'll give you at least 2 weeks' notice before any planned time off — you'll have email access to me or a team member who can support you in my absence.
This is a business mentorship — hands-on inside sessions, strategic between them. If topics come up outside my scope of practice as a coach, I'll redirect you with care to the right resource.
Everything shared between us — your numbers, your strategy, your story — is fully confidential. I will never reference or share details of our work without your explicit permission.
