The Hallway Methodā¢
Build Your First $1K Without Losing Yourself
A gentle path to online income for women who can’t afford to burn out
This Is For You If:
- You need to make money but have 5 hours a week max (not 40)
- Your days are unpredictable (kids, health, life)
- You’ve bought courses before and never finished them (this one is designed for that)
- You’re terrified of building something that requires you to be “always on”
- You live with anxiety, chronic pain, or energy limitations
- You need this to actually work because you can’t afford another failed attempt
This Is NOT For You If:
- You want to get rich quick
- You’re willing to work 60-hour weeks
- You need someone to hold your hand through every step
- You’re looking for a magic formula (this requires implementation)
You Can’t Be Everything to Everyone When You’re Nothing to Yourself
I’ll never forget the day I realized I couldn’t build a business “the normal way.” I was sitting in a school hallway with my son. He was having a meltdown, overwhelmed, his nervous system completely dysregulated. The teachers couldn’t calm him down, so they called me.
Of course I came.
We sat there together. Just the two of us. On the floor. For over two hours. Breathing. Talking. Slowly bringing him back to calm.
While we sat there, my phone kept buzzing. Client messages. Deadlines I was missing. A launch I was supposed to be running.
And I thought: I can’t do this anymore.
Not the business. The hustle.
I couldn’t keep building like someone whose life was predictable and calm. I couldn’t follow strategies designed for people who don’t get pulled out of their day to sit on school hallway floors.
I needed something different.
I needed systems that worked even when I couldn’t show up.
I needed offers that sold even when life demanded I step away.
I needed a business that breathed with me, not against me.
That’s when The Hallway Method⢠was born.
What Is The Hallway Method�
The Hallway Method⢠is a business-building philosophy for women who need their income to survive real life.
It’s not named after a marketing gimmick or a trendy acronym. It’s named after that day in the hallway.
The day I learned that the best business strategies aren’t designed for perfect days. They’re designed for interrupted ones.
The Hallway Method⢠teaches you to:
Build systems that work even when you can’t show up
Create offers that sell while you’re being human
Grow income without sacrificing your health, family, or peace
Honor your body’s signals instead of overriding them
Rest regularly without guilt or apology
It’s not about hustling harder. It’s about building smarter, and gentler.
What Makes The Hallway Method⢠Different
Most business courses teach you to:
Post every day
Build elaborate funnels
Launch with webinars
Hustle harder
Be “always on”
The Hallway Method⢠doesn’t.
Because I know what it’s like when:
Your child’s needs come first, without warning
Your body shuts down from overwhelm with zero notice
Your schedule isn’t predictable beyond the next few hours
“Just push through” isn’t motivation, it’s a threat to your survival
The Hallway Method⢠was created by someone who:
Built a business while raising three kids on the autism spectrum (one with a physical disability)
Knows what it’s like to collapse at work from a panic attack at age 34
Has navigated anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic pain while building multiple income streams
Understands that your body isn’t your enemy, it’s trying to protect you
Believes that success shouldn’t require self-sacrifice, especially for those living with health challenges
I didn’t learn to build this way because it sounded nice. I learned because it was the only way I could survive.
The Four Pillars of The Hallway Methodā¢
Pillar 1: Ground Yourself First
What You Need Before You Need a Business Plan
Most courses skip this part. They assume you have unlimited energy, predictable time, and a stable nervous system.
The Hallway Method⢠doesn’t.
Before we talk strategy, we talk survival.
You’ll learn:
ā The Hallway Truth: Why building “like everyone else” doesn’t work when life is unpredictable
ā The “Enough List” Practice: How to choose just 3 weekly tasks and call it success (without guilt)
ā The Body Check-In Protocol: How to recognize overwhelm before it becomes a panic attack
ā What “Burnout-Proof” Really Means:Ā Why rest isn’t optional; it’s the strategy
By the end of Pillar 1:
You’ll stop measuring success by hustle, and start honoring your own pace, power, and peace.
Pillar 2: Build What Survives Real Life
:Simple Products Designed for Interrupted Days
You don’t need weeks to create something sellable.
You don’t need perfect tech skills or fancy design.
You just need 2 hours and a clear problem to solve.
You’ll learn:
ā The 2-Hour Rule: How to create a complete, sellable product in one sitting (or less)
ā The PLR Shortcut: How to use done-for-you content without shame or apology
ā Build Your Digital Shelf: Create a 3-5 product lineup in one afternoon that serves customers at every price point
By the end of Pillar 2:
You’ll have actual products, uploaded, priced, and ready to sell. Not “someday.” This week.
Pillar 3: Systems That Work When You Can’t
Automation for Real Life, Not Perfect Life
This is where The Hallway Method⢠really shines.
Because the most sustainable business isn’t the one that requires you to be “always on.”
It’s the one that keeps running even when you’re unavailable.
You’ll learn:
ā Automated Delivery in Under an Hour: Set it up once, never manually send a file again
ā Grow Your List While You Sleep: The simple opt-in system that builds your audience 24/7
ā The Email-Only Sales System: How to sell without webinars, launches, or pressure (just 5 emails that work on repeat)
By the end of Pillar 3:
Your business will keep selling and delivering, even when you’re sitting in a school hallway. Or resting. Or simply living your life.
Pillar 4: Sustainable Growth
Confidence + Life Design for the Long Game
This is the pillar that makes sure you’re still here a year from now.
Not just surviving. Thriving.
You’ll learn:
ā The Panic Protocol: Exactly what to do when anxiety hits mid-launch (step-by-step script included)
ā Build Rhythms, Not Routines: Weekly plans that flex with your real, unpredictable life
ā Why Simple Beats Viral: The math behind slow, steady growth (and why you don’t need a massive audience to make real money)
By the end of Pillar 4:
You’ll have a 90-day roadmap, unshakeable confidence, and the mindset to keep going, even on the hardest days.

Why You Can Trust Me to Teach This
I’m Cecilie Aslaksen, The Gentle Growth Strategist and creator of The Hallway Method.
I’ve been helping beginners create calm, consistent digital income for over 16 years.
But more importantly:
ā I’ve built businesses while raising three neurodivergent children (one with a physical disability)
ā I’ve navigated anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic pain while creating multiple income streams
ā I had my first panic attack at age 34,Ā collapsing at work because my body finally said the “no” I’d never been allowed to say
ā I learned the hard way that you can’t build a business on an unsustainable foundation
ā I’ve spent years creating systems that protect my energy, my health, and my joy, because without those, nothing else matters
I’m not teaching from theory. I’m teaching from survival.
And now, I’m teaching you the method I wish someone had shown me years ago.

- Sarah T
“I’ve taken so many business courses that left me feeling more overwhelmed than when I started. The Hallway Method⢠is different. Cecilie actually understands what it’s like to build when life is unpredictable. I created my first product in 2 hours and sold it the same week. I can’t believe how simple she made it.”

- Mariah K.
“The Panic Protocol alone was worth the price of admission. I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life, and no one has ever given me a practical plan for what to do when it hits while I’m trying to work. The Hallway Method⢠made me feel seen in a way I’ve never experienced.”

- Jennifer C.
“I’m a single mom with two kids and a full-time job. I don’t have time for elaborate launches or posting every day. The Hallway Method⢠actually fits my life. I’m making $200-400/month with products I created in my lunch breaks. It’s not massive, but it’s mine, and it’s growing.”
Your Investment in The Hallway Methodā¢
Let me be straight with you:
The transformation The Hallway Method⢠offers, learning to build sustainable income without sacrificing your health, family, or peace, is easily worth $1,000+.
Most courses that teach you to make your first $1K cost $497-$997.
The Hallway Method⢠is different.
Not just in what it teaches, but in who it’s for.
It’s for women who can’t afford those expensive programs.
Women who are already stretched thin.
Women who need this to work, but can’t risk another investment that leads to burnout.
That’s why the regular price is $297.
Still an investment. Still a commitment.
But accessible to the women who need it most.

Two Paths Forward
You’re at a choice point.
Path 1:
Keep doing what you’ve been doing.
Keep waiting for the “perfect time.”
Keep believing you need more skills, more followers, more confidence before you start.
Keep watching others build businesses while you stay stuck.
Path 2:
Decide that today is the day.
Not because everything is perfect.
Not because you have it all figured out.
But because you’re ready to try The Hallway Methodā¢.
You’re ready to start small, build sustainably, and honor your real life.
You’re ready to create income without losing yourself.
Which path will you choose?
Frequently Asked Questions
"I've never created a digital product before. Is The Hallway Method⢠really for beginners?"
Yes. The Hallway Method⢠assumes you’re starting from zero.
I walk you through everything, choosing an idea, creating the product, uploading it, automating delivery, and making your first sale.
No prior experience needed.
"I don't have a website or email list. Can I still use The Hallway Method�"
Absolutely.
You can sell products using free platforms like Gumroad or Payhip (no website needed).
And I show you how to start building your email list from scratch using free tools.
"What if I can't finish it?"
You don’t have to “finish” it. Module 1 alone gives you the foundation for sustainable building. Take what you need, when you need it.
"What if my situation is too complicated for this?"
This course was built for complicated situations. Neurodivergent kids. Chronic illness. Unpredictable schedules. That’s exactly who it’s for.
"What if I buy it and never use it?"
You have 7 days to go through Module 1 and decide. If it’s not for you, get your money back. No questions asked.
"Will this actually work for someone like me?"
If you have 2-5 hours a week, a willingness to try, and a need to build something sustainable, yes.
"I'm not tech-savvy. Will I be able to figure this out?"
If you can send an email and use Google Docs, you can do this.
The Hallway Method⢠uses the simplest tools possible, and I explain every step like I’m talking to a friend who’s never done this before.
Plus, every lesson includes checklists and templates so you’re never guessing.
"How long does it take to make my first $100 with The Hallway Method�"
It depends on how quickly you implement.
Some students make their first sale within 7 days.
Others take 2-4 weeks.
But if you follow the steps, create a simple product, set up delivery, share it with your audience, you can realistically make your first $100 in your first month.
"What if I don't have an audience?"
That’s okay. Neither did I when I started.
Pillar 3 shows you how to grow your email list from zero using free opt-ins, bundle collaborations, and simple strategies that don’t require you to “go viral.”
You don’t need 10,000 followers. You need 100 people who trust you.
"I have anxiety/chronic pain/depression. Can I really do this?"
Yes.
Because The Hallway Method⢠was built with you in mind.
I live with anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. I know what it’s like when your body says “no” and your schedule explodes.
That’s exactly why The Hallway Method⢠is designed the way it is, with rest built in, flexible timelines, and a “what to do when panic hits” protocol.
You’re not broken. The other courses just weren’t built for you.
"What if I start and then life gets in the way?"
That’s the whole point of The Hallway Methodā¢.
Life WILL get in the way. It always does.
That’s why I teach you to build systems that work even when you can’t show up.
And if you need to pause for a week (or a month), your lifetime access means you can come back anytime.
"Is this course updated? Or is it old information?"
The Hallway Method⢠is a brand new course as of 2025.
It reflects current tools, current strategies, and current realities.
Plus, you get all future updates for free.
"What if I have questions while I'm going through the course?"
Every lesson ends with reflection questions and clear action steps.
Most students find they don’t need hand-holding because The Hallway Method⢠is so thorough.
But if you get stuck, you can email me at admin@theripplingwings.com and I’ll point you in the right direction.
"What makes The Hallway Method⢠different from all the other 'make $1K' courses?"
The Hallway Method⢠isn’t trying to compete with those courses.
It’s in a completely different category.
Other courses teach you to hustle harder.
The Hallway Method⢠teaches you to build smarter and gentler.
Other courses are designed for people with predictable schedules, high energy, and no major life constraints.
The Hallway Method⢠is designed for women whose kids need them unexpectedly, whose bodies say “not today” without warning, and whose lives require flexibility, not rigidity.
If you’ve ever sat in a hallway (literal or metaphorical) and thought “I can’t keep doing business this way”,
The Hallway Method⢠is for you.
One Last Thing Before You Decide
I want you to imagine something.
Imagine it’s one year from today.
You wake up and check your email.
You made a sale overnight.
Someone you’ve never met bought your $197 product while you were sleeping.
Your automated system delivered it. They got exactly what they needed. You didn’t have to do anything.
That’s $197 you didn’t have yesterday.
And it’s not the first time this has happened.
It happens almost every night now. Sometimes more. And during the day as well.
You have an email list of 1500 people who trust you and look forward to hearing from you.
You send one email a week. Sometimes you mention a product. Sometimes you don’t.
But when you do? People buy.
Not because you convinced them.
Because you’ve been showing up, helping, and staying consistent.
You’re making $3,000-$10,000 a month now.
Not every month is the same. Some are higher. Some are lower.
Ā
But it’s steady. And it’s growing.
And here’s the best part:
You’re not burned out.
You take full days off. You rest when your body needs it. You’re present with your family.
Your business doesn’t own you.
It supports you.
That’s what’s possible with The Hallway Methodā¢.
That’s what’s waiting for you on the other side of this decision.
Ready? Here’s What Happens Next:
Step 1: Click the button below to enroll in The Hallway Methodā¢
Step 2: You’ll receive instant access to the first module, and then in 8 days the next will be released.Ā
Step 3: Start with Pillar 1 (even if you’re tempted to skip ahead, don’t. Trust the process.)
Step 4: Take it at your own pace. There’s no deadline.
Step 5: Implement as you go. Create your first product. Set up your systems. Make your first sale.
Step 6: Email me your first win. I want to celebrate with you.
Or Keep Waiting
You can close this page and come back later.
You can wait until you feel “ready” (spoiler: you never will).
You can keep researching, comparing, waiting for the perfect moment.
But here’s what I know:
The women who succeed aren’t the ones who wait for perfect conditions.
They’re the ones who start anyway.
Scared. Imperfect. Uncertain.
But moving forward.
The question isn’t whether you’re ready.
The question is: Are you willing to try The Hallway Method�
