Valentina Popescu, Business Scaling Strategist
Serial Entrepreneur | 16+ years of Business & Teaching Experience

Business & Digital Marketing Strategist | Trainer of Trainers | HR Manager | Assessor of Professional Competencies

As a Business Scaling Strategist , I specialise in the Lifestyle-Led Scaling Business Model™: 3 weeks a month, 3 hours a day. This isn't theory - it's a proven model that lets high-achieving entrepreneurs like you maintain their success while reclaiming their time. We're talking consistent 6-figure revenue with up to 85% MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue).


You've mastered the art of success. Now let's master the art of scaling it efficiently. My expertise isn't in teaching you how to succeed - you've already done that. It's in showing you how to engineer your business to work smarter, not longer.


I partner with accomplished entrepreneurs who are ready to elevate their business model to the next level. You have the clients. You have the revenue. Now it's time to have the freedom to enjoy it.


You've already proven you can work hard. But this is about working deliberately. My Lifestyle-Led Scaling Business Model™ isn't just about automation - it's about architecting your entire business around the lifestyle you deserve. We're talking strategic boundaries, airtight terms and conditions, time-blocking that respects your peak hours, and systems that protect your energy while maximising your impact.


Because true business mastery isn't just about what you do when you're working - it's about designing when and how you work in the first place. This is for entrepreneurs who want both success AND freedom.

You're here because you've already proven yourself. You're consistently bringing in clients, delivering results, and growing your business. But now you're ready for something different - a business model that gives you back your time without sacrificing your success.

This isn’t for everyone - But it might just be for YOU if ...

YOU’re not here to stay in your comfort zone. YOU’re here to create momentum and make moves that redefine what’s possible.

  • You're earning 5-10K months consistently and ready to scale without doubling your working hours

  • You have other priorities in your life (family, health, personal goals) that deserve your full presence

  • You're tired of choosing between being successful and being present in your life

  • You want a proven system for working just 3 weeks a month while maintaining (or exceeding) your current revenue

  • You believe excellence in business shouldn't require sacrificing your lifestyle

I partner with established professionals who:

  • Have validated their expertise through consistent client results

  • Value both professional excellence and personal freedom

  • Are ready to implement strategic systems and boundaries

  • Want to maintain high-quality delivery while working as much as they want to

  • See the value in investing in a proven business model

  • Are committed to taking consistent, focused action

If this resonates, this is where we begin.

About Me : What am I doing now in business and life?

Business : The School of Business & Digital Marketing

As I was telling you last month, we're changing direction. I have now completely transitioned from the Witchy branding to the new one, Business Success Sculptor. My designer will soon start working on the new banners for Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.

I've also taken the radical measure of deleting every video on my YouTube channel and start from the scratch, let's say (but I've kept some archive from my previous brick and mortar businesses, just to show off 😅😂). The Success Sculptor's Official YouTube Channel focuses on my real-time business insights (behind-the-scenes looks, family-business balance and authentic journey sharing).

And I'm very proud of the SS INSIDER Newsletter in particular as I think you're ready to uplevel your game and be exposed to hard industry truths. 🥳

And My 2025 Working Calendar is ready - ORANGE weeks? COMPLETELY FREE!!

Business : VP Modern Foreign Languages

I don't work with complete beginners in any of my businesses. That is, I don't charge them. I have a complete mini-course which will definitely change their lives, give them the skills they need and position me as the next logical choice for growth. So, this December holiday, I'm updating my FREE General English for Beginners course as we're also stepping outside of the Exam Preparation realm and targeting more generalised conversational grammar courses.

Valentina & Rebeca & Ionut

We've got proof that we've been good and on the nice list😁 I'd show you a pic of the cookies 🍪 we made for Santa but ... they're all gone 😅😂

Val's obsessions

Finished "Suits", the TV series, all 9 seasons. (I don't joke around). It was not just for relaxation but also research. Harvey is the inspiration for my branding, so it was a win-win situation. You can watch "Suits" on Netflix (duuuh!)

What others have said ...

Check out these totally legit testimonials 😉

" I've been working with Valentina for about 4 months now, meeting nearly every week to discuss my digital marketing strategy, launches, and offers.

I love working with her because she asks me a million questions- not to pick me apart, but to understand (and to make sure I understand, too)!

She also always tells the truth. She's not going to go out of her way to protect my feelings- she's not mean lol- but she knows that honesty is the only way for me to achieve my goals.

We've done loads together, from creating low-ticket offers to round out my shop and bring in a little extra income, to optimising my high-ticket offer, to planning a re-launch for my membership, to growing my audience and generating leads.

I value her opinion and feedback very much and look forward to our weekly discussions (even though she never lets me get away with anything lol)! " - C.R.

" Ok. I’ve had people requesting to join all week. [...] We have a sign up. [...] We have a sign up. [...] We have a sign up. [...] We have a sign up. [...] " - S.S.

" I found the challenge emails and they're so useful! My problem (one of them) is writing posts from scratch and doing it consistently can feel so overwhelming. These prompts make it so much easier, especially when my brain's not working properly. " - S.S.

" CRT is up to 2.65% and over 81% of my subscribers are highly engaged, open rate is 37.92%. I’m bloody thrilled with that. Let me go and see how many sign ups we have now. Yes, more than doubled. " - C.R.

"you are the perfect pick me up for a Tuesday morning" - S.S.

" I can confirm that, you are positive, enthusiastic, honest professional " - B.R.

" Offer Optimisation was excellent lots of valuable information " - K.A.

"I’m so glad to be a part of it,Valentina you help me stay organized and develop strategies to successfully implement my ideas!" - A.V.

" Woohoo! I really appreciate all you guidance over the past 4 months and your wonderful community!! " - S.S.

" Alignment of promo materials and content and the offer it leads to is EVERYTHING! Also SO EXCITED TO GET STARTED ON THE MEMBERSHIP " - E.R.

" I've updated the [xx] sales page and social posts to be more clear. Made my first post since the updates for [xx] and already got a new sign up " - C.R.

" I’m in the DMC membership and let me say it is so valuable! I absolutely love the weekly hotseat calls because you get 1:1 attention. Valentina strategizes with me and helps me bring my ideas to life with a solid action plan. This is exactly what I was missing in my business! " - A.V.

" I loved how clear and well organized the training was, with actionable steps we can take right away to start optimizing our content and channel. A take away I’m going to start implementing is having specific “office hour” days when clients know to contact us. That’s such a healthy boundary and just sets the tone right away. The advice in this video will definitely give me a more organized strategy for long term growth of my channel and content. Thank you Val!! " - A.V.

"Great training, thank you. Really helpful. I have saved the websites you have suggested to have a play around with and plan some trainings" - S.T.

" I have been inspired by you, the way you show up on social media and the advice you give " - D.S.

" Great news! Someone signed up for the quiz you helped make, Valentina, then purchased the low-ticket offer associated with their result, BOUGHT the 2nd trigger upsell on that checkout page, and instantly joined the free video training on the backend that ultimately leads to my signature offer. All on automation here's to a great passive income sale today from only the second time sharing the quiz link. " - J.B.

" I had the honor of testing Valentina's market research short course, and I'm so glad I participated! In less than one hour, I gained clarity on how to use AI specifically for market research, which was incredibly beneficial. Within minutes of obtaining my competitors' details, I had clear data about their ideal clients' pain points and desires. Not only that, I can cross-reference the information with my own data and offers to identify gaps and language I could use in my content. This is priceless! Although I've used business-related AI prompts before and invested in AI courses and high-ticket business coaching, I never received clear instructions on how to effectively conduct market research for my business. I believe this is a fundamental piece that many, including myself, often overlook. Furthermore, Valentina was incredibly kind in providing further clarification and answering my questions regarding how to utilize the research effectively. She also explained the concept of 'niching' down or out, which was eye-opening. Now, I have clarity on my next steps and feel excited to embark on new ventures in my business. If you're feeling stuck in digital marketing or business in general, I highly recommend reaching out to Valentina. She is very approachable and has extensive experience running multiple businesses as a mompreneur! " - B.R.

" Val was so easy to talk to and so helpful - we had about an hour together where she helped me get to the core of my problem: my ideal client! It took a few questions from her for me to get more clarity on the kind of transformation I could provide, and in extension, the kind of clients that would benefit from me the most. This one session was INSANELY valuable. " - E.R.

" Valentina is wonderful at what she does. She's direct & will give you the straight facts, which we need in order to gain clarity around our businesses. She showed me a few blind spots that I hadn't considered (because oftentimes we don't know what we don't know) & by the end of the call, I had much more clarity on which direction to go in. I would highly recommend working with Valentina if you feel stuck on offer / pricing & need some clarity. " - J.Z.

" My one to one session was amazing, in one hour I got so much clarity on my messaging and my idea client that I feel clearer now than I have the last 5 years in business! Absolutely amazing session, I would highly recommend Valentina to anyone who needs clarity in their business. " - S.T.

" Val teaches you the actual methods behind the magic. The practical things you need to know, and exactly how to implement them, to get you the results. This filled in some major gaps in my business! " - A.V.

" Val has a straight to the point approach which I found very refreshing. She got to the core and packed so much info and practical steps advice in our short time together, it was amazing value. It gave me a starting point and a clear calendar to follow which immediately reduced my overwhelm and helped me breathe with relief. Thank Val. " - M.M.

" Valentina was very thorough in explaining every option I had to be successful in utilizing the best platform for me to do Everything (membership, marketing,community, courses, and more) I want to one place. " - L.D.

" It was a joy to work with Valentina. There was so much fun and laughter, the conversation flowed easily and any questions I had were fully addressed. This is teaching at it's best; effortless - she knows her stuff - and fun. After only one hour in her company and I felt so much more confident - and as someone from whom tech is not only a foreign, but totally obscure language, this says a lot. G XX " - G.J.

" I gained clarity on how I can further utilize market research and AI output. I really love this as it saves time and money on learning copywriting, messaging etc. Information on niching down/out was also eye opening, I heard so many opinions on this. I though once I decide that is! I love the specific example of 'mum to be, what is important to her in that stage'. It made me think in different ways as I think about my processes and what I know and it's difficult to think from my client perspective. (it's like switching brain from business/expert mode to 'ordinary person' brain:-)) " - B.R.

" Valentina Listens and comes up with the best plan of action for my success in the world of tech when it comes to answering all my questions regarding membership, course platforms, communities. She also is very committed to making sure my needs are met by being available to walk me through challenges I’ve had in making the best decisions for me and what will work for me. She is super nice and goes the extra mile to help! " - L.D.

" I wasn't aware of all the things I could do with a single piece of tech! I've put a LOT of things I've wanted to do because until this session I thought I'd need a few hundred dollars of systems EVERY MONTH in order to accomplish my current goals. Turns out ONE 20/month program will do it ALL and I can even implement quite a bit on the FREE version of it. This makes ALL the difference to a low overhead, low profit, growing company! I can grow so much faster than I ever imagined and sty within my current budget, which is PRICELESS! Thank you so much Val for making yourself known in my world, and I will always come to you to learn other systems for what I am trying to do, because my desire for a chat bot just taught me how to use a system that does SO MUCH MORE! Thank you endlessly from the bottom of my heart and it's worth SOOO much more than what I thought I was paying you for! " - A.S.
