Written by Cannon Phelps

The onboarding course is the core of Profit Academy.

It’s a guided step-by-step system built around the FRAP framework that helps you uncover hidden revenue opportunities in your business — without needing more customers.

As you move through the course, you’ll apply each concept directly to your own business using real numbers and real decisions.

The course contains 7 phases and 35 total modules.

Each phase builds on the one before it.

What each phase does

Phase 1 — Business Assessment

Establishes your business baseline using your real numbers, goals, and business information.

Phases 2–5 — Revenue Levers

Each phase focuses on one FRAP revenue lever:

  • Price

  • Average Ticket

  • Referrals

  • Frequency

You’ll learn strategies, calculate potential revenue increases, and select ideas you want to implement.

Phase 6 — Plan

Organizes your selected ideas into a prioritized action plan.

Phase 7 — Implement

Turns your selected ideas into a working implementation roadmap.

It automatically takes you to your next incomplete module.

The Profit Increase Found calculator

As you enter your business information throughout the course, Profit Academy calculates your projected revenue opportunity automatically.

This running total appears as a green Profit Increase Found number near the top of your modules.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a realistic estimate of how much additional annual profit you’ve identified.


Starting over

Need to redo a module?

Every module includes a Start Over option.

This is useful if:

  • Your business numbers changed significantly

  • You entered placeholder information originally

  • You want to rebuild your plan from scratch


Tips for success

  • Use real business numbers whenever possible

  • Watch at least one help video per phase

  • Move through the modules in order

  • Don’t rush the implementation phase

  • Focus on steady progress, not perfection
