Here's what you just signed up for...
Time. Travel.
No, seriously! Going to events like this is exactly like time travel.
You could learn all the entrepreneurial skills we'll be presenting at this event on your own. It would take you years to do it, 100's of 1000's of $$$, and loads of trial and error. Or you can learn from people who have already done it.
And you not only will get to hear from world-class coaches, but coming to events like this is where you surround yourself with those people who have the right mindset. People ready to grow. People who haven't given up on their dreams. And when you surround yourself with people like that, you can't help but level up. You are the average of the people you hang out with afterall.

Can I bring a "Plus 1"
Yes...but space is even more limited and there are conditions....
The purpose of these events it to bring the coaches to local entrepreneurs, and for it to be a very intimate gathering. For that reason we only have between 10-14 spots available. So, the decision was made to set a HARD cap at four "Plus 1's". If we offer any more "plus 1's", that will mean fewer people could attend and get the attention they deserve from an event like this.
Rules for Plus 1
1. They have to be working the exact same business. If they’re running a separate business they are full price and will need to buy their own ticket.
2. They have to be a spouse or your child - minimum age 16.
3. Cost is $997
Is there a payment plan?
Nope 😁. We will see what we can do for future events.
Is this event right for me?
Great question! This might not be a great fit. Here's who we designed this event for:
Entrepreneurs who want a "time machine" - those looking to leverage experience to get ahead faster
Entrepreneurs who have at least a little bit of recurring revenue coming in each month
Entrepreneurs who need guidance to push past their current limitations, mindsets, and road blocks
-- If any of this sounds like you, then YES, this event will change everything! --
This event might NOT be for you if:
You have shiny object syndrome - you find yourself constantly bouncing from one business idea to the next
You aren't an action taker - you come to events like this, but never act on what you learn
You have take out a loan for $3497 - if that type of money is a stretch for you, we'll see you at a future event when you're a little more ready! You've got this!
