Capability Amplifier

What if tomorrow you were on a path to double your revenue, triple your profit, and quadruple your freedom…for the rest of your life. 

Meet Ivan and Mariana Polic: The Visionary and The Fixer.

They are your quintessential American Entrepreneurial Success Story and Power Couple Dream Team. Born in war-torn Serbia. Ivan, a former professional soccer star and aeronautical engineer and Mariana, a recovering “farm girl” turned successful journalist met for a tv interview after a soccer game.

They married and fled Serbia during the Bosnian War to take over Ivan’s father’s multi-million dollar aeronautical business in America.

This was Ivan and Mariana’s opportunity for a new and better life.

But when their business’ revenue dropped by 97% overnight, they were crippled with anxiety. They needed a solution, and they needed it fast. Through sheer grit and determination, they refused to give-in to potential failure. And that is how Shift Intelligence was created. Through careful analysis and persistence, they built a replicable system to reinvent and rebuild their business from the inside out. They systemized everything: how they managed people, their systems and processes, and how to close the sales they needed to keep their business alive.

As a result, they 2X their revenue, 3X their income, and 4X their freedom.
They made an eight-figure exit, were paid upfront, and was done in six-days.
