Leah’s entrepreneurial journey started in 2002. With a degree in philosophy and a natural talent for organization, she quickly became a "referral machine" in the professional organizing industry. She specialized in extreme cases of hoarding and used advanced SEO strategies to become the #1 ranked organizer in NYC long before digital marketing was mainstream
In 2013, she transitioned to teaching online, realizing that her clients needed to be in their own environments to truly implement change. Over time, her focus shifted from physical spaces to business leadership. Today, she coaches 7-figure business owners with "ADHD-ish" tendencies, helping them automate their systems and break through emotional blocks to achieve their wildest goals
For 10 years, Leah used Infusionsoft to manage her business. While it was a powerful tool, it was also expensive and overly complex for her needs
"I was with Infusionsoft for a decade, but I never used most of their features," Leah explains. "I wanted a system that would make it easy to scale and grow without having to think about every little technical detail. I didn't want to be a tech troubleshooter; I wanted to be a coach"
Leah’s business model is built on deep service. She isn't interested in massive, faceless scaling. She needed a platform that could handle the technical basics—charging customers, delivering course access, and managing emails—so she could dedicate her energy to her live accountability sessions.
Nearly three years ago, Leah switched to systeme.io. The transition allowed her to maintain her "weird and wild" way of doing business while benefiting from modern marketing tools
"What I love about systeme.io is the simplicity. It allows me to build a peaceful business on my own rules," says Leah
Even as someone who admits she is "not techy," Leah found the platform intuitive. It gave her the ability to experiment with ads and funnels—including order bumps and one-click upsells—without the "Software Frankenstein" headaches she had experienced in the past
Leah’s strategy is a masterclass in retaining high-value clients through a combination of automation and live support
The blueprint:

SEO-driven awareness: Leah continues to leverage her decade-old domain authority and SEO-rich content to attract high-level business owners organically
The ADHD-friendly funnel: She built specialized funnels, like the "ADHD Entrepreneur's Kitchen Reset," using systeme.io to offer low-ticket entries that lead into her higher-tier coaching
Live accountability (House of done): Leah hosts live sessions where she provides a rigorous yet supportive discipline, pushing her clients to overcome procrastination and ensuring that every project is brought to completion
$6,000 average LTV: By using systeme.io to automate her technical backend, Leah can focus on the deep relationships that result in an average of 7 years of retention and an exceptional lifetime value of $6,000 per client
By simplifying her tech with systeme.io, Leah has achieved financial results and personal freedom that most entrepreneurs only dream of
❝The average lifetime value of my customer is around $6,000. My average client stays with me for seven years because I take really good care of them❞
— Leah Fisch, Founder of CEO Rise
Financial growth: Leah went from charging $40/hour in 2002 to $275+/hour today, managing a business that consistently crosses the six-figure mark
High retention: By using systeme.io to manage the "monotonous" backend, she maintains a deep relationship with her clients, leading to multi-year retention rates
Philanthropic impact: Her digital business success allowed her to found Cultivar Cartagena, a non-profit in Colombia that provides meals, education, and financial literacy to families in need
Total autonomy: Leah runs her empire and her charity from her home office, allowing her to be fully present for her husband and children
❝IAre you ready to defy the odds and grow your business your weird and wild way? systeme.io makes that possible❞
— Leah Fisch, Founder of CEO Rise
Leah’s advice for those hesitating to start is to look for the tiniest step forward
"Don’t wait. Look for the smallest thing you can do today and do that. Once you've done it, especially if it’s something you’ve been avoiding, you will be different. Just go"
