Two inquiries for my premium package within 48 hours of updating my bio and positioning. I had the skills, but my messaging was a mess and nobody knew what I actually fixed. The Garden Mentoring program helped me niche down without the fear of losing out. It’s such a weight off my shoulders to know exactly what to say when people ask what I do. Sina’s approach to branding is just different.

I just closed my first 1:1 coaching client! It’s exciting to see action and consistency paying off.

I signed my first $2.5K client within my very first month in the mentoring program. The strategies are practical and the results are immediate.

Before this, I was stuck in 'information overload' and terrified to actually ask for the sale. I followed the framework Sina teaches and posted one intentional Reel about my backend process. Within 4 hours, a lead DM'd me, we hopped on a call, and she paid in full. I’m still in shock that it could be this simple when you have the right roadmap.

I successfully closed a 6-month program with a client for $10K. The confidence and strategies I gained made this possible.

Sina gives you the SCIENCE of execution to suceed; The Garden shows you the ART of how to apply it 🦋

2 days in, I already had gotten $1,000’s worth of value I didn’t find anywhere else. I was strategy hopping business ideas for months with no leads. I wasn’t sure if The Garden was going to get me the results I wanted. But going into it, as a fellow Muslim, I trusted Sina and loved her anti-hustle stance. And Alhamdulillah I’m so glad I did 🦋 not only did I learn how to market & navigate sales better than ever before (and make money!! Masha Allah) but I found confidence and conviction in myself, and in my self worth and capability. Such a supporting team to work with, I would recommend 10/10 if you want to grow a personal brand and stop chasing paying clients and start attracting them.

I kinda feel like labelling this business as scam.

Here is why:
You pay 8k euros for Level 1.
They make you believe that you can easily make 10k euro within the first few weeks if not, by the end of the month so you feel ok, I can invest.

I think the Level one is worth 100-200euros when I think about the knowledge that's shared and definitely not 8000euros.

I feel it's scammy because they manage to convince you to invest your hard-earned money with all their fake promises, but you make peanuts by the end of the program and so you're left with nothing.

Then they try and sell you their Level 2 (8K euro more!!). There is no sense in this program, like how are you meant to move up the level if you've already invested all your money and made nothing?

As someone below mentioned about the contract, it's been my experience as well.

If you want to invest in this program, make sure you're ready for loss AND make sure you have enough money to stay afloat when you lose.

Some people have made money through the program but most haven't. there's just a handful for whom it's working.

Bottom line: it's not for everyone, doesn't matter how hard you work for it.

And don't fall for the "sell without selling" or "don't chase, but attract". none of that is true in the program.

Had a DM → call → paid client flow happen for the first time 🌱Closed a €3,000 offer and honestly felt excited instead of nervous on the call. Best decision I ever made was when I joined the Garden Mentoring!

The training itself is good; however, the real thing that made it worth it was all the coaches, their weekly workshop sessions, and the networking opportunities.

You are strongly pressured to pay a deposit before being clearly guided through the full contract. The contract itself is very strict and states that refunds and disputes are not allowed under any circumstances.

The program costs around €7,000, which I personally found excessive for the level of mentorship provided. During sales calls, it is mentioned that it is common for mentees to reach $10,000 in revenue by their second month. However, in the group calls, many participants openly shared that they were in their fourth or fifth month with little or no return on investment.

Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend carefully reading the full contract and ask about the refund policies before making any payment.

My experience with Sina Port was ultimately disappointing and led me to leave the programme early.

After engaging with the strategies taught, my social media reach declined rather than improved. Given that increasing visibility and attracting new clients were key reasons for joining, this was a significant concern. Despite investing a substantial sum in the programme, I chose to step away once it became clear that the approach was not delivering the intended outcomes for my business. I left the course with several months of programme access remaining unused.

The Level 2 programme was sold to me as mentorship; however, the delivery followed a rigid, one-size-fits-all framework that did not take my individual business model into account. There was little genuine interest in understanding my business, professional judgement, or perspective. Instead, the emphasis was on fitting my work into a predetermined system.

The programme is promoted under the slogan “business without selling.” However, my experience did not reflect this. I found the hard-sell approach underpinning the sales process misaligned with my values. I do not, and would not, operate my business by pressuring clients into decisions without allowing space for reflection. I regret having been placed in that position myself when purchasing the programme, particularly after feeling misled at Level 1 and being refused a refund, which left me with no option but to pay a significant additional sum to access Level 2.

Overall, the programme did not provide the tailored guidance I expected from a mentoring programme, and it was not a good fit for my business or values.

I recently launched my first in-person workshop and it sold out faster than I expected. Three participants joined at €90 per spot, and it gave me so much confidence to continue creating more paid experiences. The process was simple, and supportive. I finally see what’s possible when you have the right guidance.

Without a doubt the single most comprehensive program I ever used to accelerate my business, weekly check ins and strategy sessions is invaluable for keeping me on track and finally not feeling so lost on my journey as an entrepreneur.
