42 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.200 And so I think you guys are really going to get a lot of answers through this and be excited 43 00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:30.120 to hear about like the vision of where we're going. 44 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.240 So I'm gonna let Steven share a little bit more on that, but just want to thank you guys 45 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.600 so much for all the conversations and honest feedback. 46 00:02:35.600 --> 00:02:37.480 We really appreciate you guys. 47 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:44.280 Yeah, so the vision of Inner Circle and kind of where we sense that is going is, you know, 48 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.000 if you've seen the State of the Union, I did in the Mastermind, as a business, like we're 49 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.560 going through some intensity right now. 50 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.160 And honestly, over the last year, it's been it's been intense. 51 00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:57.580 And I believe, like that you're never left empty handed in business. 52 00:02:57.580 --> 00:02:58.580 That's what we teach, right? 53 00:02:58.580 --> 00:03:02.560 The how can I mindset, there's no problems without opportunities attached to them. 54 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.280 And so in kind of this season, we've been really asking the question, like, what's in 55 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:08.280 our hand? 56 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:09.280 Right? 57 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.180 That's a really great question to ask when you hit these walls, when you hit things that 58 00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:13.140 are like, what's going on here. 59 00:03:13.140 --> 00:03:17.340 And when we asked what's in our hand, you know, there's two prominent things that kind 60 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.400 of just were jumping in my in my spirit, right? 61 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.120 One is our people, like, this room is full of amazing people. 62 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.060 It was so awesome hanging out with a lot of you in person, like there's so much synergy 63 00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:33.160 and momentum and just like, acceleration that happens when we get in person. 64 00:03:33.160 --> 00:03:37.920 And two, not just the community people, but like our team, you know, and if you know the 65 00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:41.260 story, like our team has been with us through thick and thin. 66 00:03:41.260 --> 00:03:45.060 And right now, it's been a little thin, but our team is like here, they're with us. 67 00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:52.360 People like Megan who love you guys are here, like out of, you know, even a personal sacrifice, 68 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.920 you know, in a season like this. 69 00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:58.720 And so I know that no matter what we go through, no matter what the future holds, the people 70 00:03:58.720 --> 00:03:59.840 are going to be part of it. 71 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.520 You know, the other thing that I believe we have some gold in is this program, right? 72 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.440 The Inner Circle Accelerator and the Inner Circle Membership. 73 00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:14.860 And, you know, in this last season, really, we have dialed in so much more of our business 74 00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:18.420 systems in a lot of different domains. 75 00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:23.660 And you know, we have, you know, really an expert team of leaders leading Rainmakers 76 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:24.660 right now. 77 00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:28.420 We have a lot of these people you might know, right, Jeff, a lot of you met him in person. 78 00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:29.820 He's like a sales expert, right? 79 00:04:29.820 --> 00:04:36.700 He just knows a lot about sales, running sales teams, even like the sales process, making 80 00:04:36.700 --> 00:04:38.780 your thing convert at a higher level. 81 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.520 We have you, Clyde, who's like social media expert, built an Instagram with 2 million 82 00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:44.120 followers, marketing expert. 83 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:45.480 We have team Megan, right? 84 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.240 You know, one of the Megan, some of you might know the other Megan on our team really focused 85 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.180 on customer journey and branding and success pathways, right? 86 00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:59.640 We have Jay, who's like our finance expert, has worked for way bigger companies than our 87 00:04:59.640 --> 00:04:59.640 88 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.460 is, but he just knows finances in and out. We have Kimberly, who, you know, 89 00:05:03.460 --> 00:05:07.820 who's run workshops with you guys on operations and systems and buying back 90 00:05:07.820 --> 00:05:12.660 your time. Right. And of course you have me and Chelsea. Right. And so we were 91 00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:17.220 really like, man, what if we could infuse inner circle with more of that? 92 00:05:17.700 --> 00:05:20.880 Right. That's definitely something we're confident is going to be a part of this 93 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:27.220 next season. And so we actually thought about, um, inviting other business 94 00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:32.460 owners, uh, like six and seven figure business owners into this inner circle 95 00:05:32.460 --> 00:05:35.320 program. You know, not every business owner is gonna want to jump into our 96 00:05:35.320 --> 00:05:38.620 mastermind program. That's more for people who want to start a business. 97 00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:43.040 Right. But inner circle accelerator, what we do here is so valuable. We've 98 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.260 seen it be so valuable for businesses at all levels. And so our vision for 99 00:05:47.260 --> 00:05:51.500 inner circle accelerator and inner circle membership is that we start to 100 00:05:51.700 --> 00:05:56.300 actually bring in six and seven figure business owners into this community. 101 00:05:56.580 --> 00:06:00.300 We'll probably change the name cause it might just, it might feel a little 102 00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.100 weird to come in and just be like, what's this inner circle thing that makes 103 00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:05.980 sense when you come up from the mastermind. But for these, we'll probably 104 00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:10.460 call it like online business accelerator or something like that. Um, or, uh, you 105 00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:13.180 know, I don't know. We're still coming with the names, but I just want to be 106 00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:16.980 real with you guys. Like this is, I believe going to be a major upgrade to 107 00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:21.060 this program because we're not just going to have the expertise in the room 108 00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:24.420 with you guys and what you're going through with e-commerce, but we're going 109 00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:28.420 to start to bring in other industries and niches and other six and seven 110 00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:33.340 figure family first entrepreneurs who want to grow together. And that's how 111 00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:38.740 it's going to start shifting over this next season. And I know like, um, a lot 112 00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:41.220 of you had questions for Megan. Like we were kind of going over some of the 113 00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:45.060 questions you had about like, what's the format, like who's going to be there. 114 00:06:45.260 --> 00:06:49.500 And so, um, Megan, um, tell them what you kind of came up with when it comes 115 00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:53.300 to like the weekly calls and like what's going on in that area. 116 00:06:54.220 --> 00:07:00.460 Yeah. So we're really looking at like, how do we, how do we level up what we've 117 00:07:00.460 --> 00:07:07.380 already created and just really take this community and the value that inner 118 00:07:07.380 --> 00:07:11.140 circle membership provides to the next level. And like Steven mentioned, I 119 00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:15.380 think, you know, bringing in other six and seven figure business owners, even 120 00:07:15.380 --> 00:07:19.980 from different industries in itself is going to be a huge level up to this 121 00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:23.460 community because it's a place where everyone can really learn from each 122 00:07:23.460 --> 00:07:26.740 other. You're going to learn from people with experience in other industries who 123 00:07:26.940 --> 00:07:30.460 have been running businesses who have teams. Um, that's the vision where we're 124 00:07:30.460 --> 00:07:35.140 going. And so kind of like on our side of that, we want to couple that with, we 125 00:07:35.140 --> 00:07:41.740 want to bring like these incredibly talented and experienced people on the 126 00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:46.180 Rainmaker leadership team and be pouring in to the people in this inner circle 127 00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:51.100 membership and really just like leveling up that, um, the kind of like 128 00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:56.260 training and, um, knowledge and experience that you're getting from 129 00:07:56.420 --> 00:07:59.740 people who like Steven mentioned, have been involved not only with the 130 00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:03.980 Rainmaker team, but with teams much bigger, much bigger companies in this 131 00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:06.940 and have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share with you guys. So 132 00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:10.060 what we're envisioning is those same people that Steven just mentioned on 133 00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:13.460 the leadership team, like Jeff, you, Clyde's team, Megan, which is like 134 00:08:13.460 --> 00:08:18.860 myself and Megan green, who is another Megan on our team, Jay, Kimberly, 135 00:08:18.900 --> 00:08:23.020 Steven, and Chelsea. Um, some other, some other people may come in there as 136 00:08:23.020 --> 00:08:27.140 well, but we were going to have like these people come in like every month 137 00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:32.780 and provide trainings on, on the topics and in the areas that they are experts 138 00:08:32.780 --> 00:08:36.020 in that they have experienced in. And so you guys know that the inner circle 139 00:08:36.020 --> 00:08:40.100 accelerator is kind of like, uh, structured with all these different 140 00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:45.180 topics. Like we hit, um, like vision brand foundations, like that's my 141 00:08:45.180 --> 00:08:49.220 favorite thing. You guys know this, we hit, you know, financial foundation, 142 00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:54.100 super important piece. We're hitting teams, operations systems, like how to 143 00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:57.220 replace yourself. We're hitting marketing, we're hitting funnels, we're 144 00:08:57.220 --> 00:09:02.300 hitting sales. Um, all these people on our team, like are experienced and 145 00:09:02.300 --> 00:09:06.580 experts in these areas. And so we're going to make the membership kind of a 146 00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:12.020 deeper dive on these topics throughout the year, bringing in those, those 147 00:09:12.020 --> 00:09:15.540 experts, those are leadership team members experience in those areas to 148 00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:19.620 actually teach you, uh, like from their own experience, how to do these things, 149 00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:23.140 how to build it in your business. Um, so we're really excited about that 150 00:09:23.140 --> 00:09:28.180 because it's just, it's going to provide a really, um, like a higher 151 00:09:28.180 --> 00:09:32.340 level weekly support that you're, that you're getting and kind of a more 152 00:09:32.900 --> 00:09:37.380 format where we can just go like deep, like deep dive on specific topics 153 00:09:37.380 --> 00:09:40.580 throughout the year. We might do like every month we focus on one of these 154 00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:44.340 topics or we might switch that up, but we're going to kind of like rotate our 155 00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:49.300 leadership team coming in and providing that like one to one to small group 156 00:09:49.300 --> 00:09:53.220 teaching experience with you. And, um, uh, Steven, I don't know if you want 157 00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:56.500 to share, like there's kind of a couple of this, but this is going to be 158 00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:59.780 yeah. I mean, this will be a huge piece of inner circle. 159 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.880 in the future, right? 160 00:10:01.880 --> 00:10:04.720 Even our in-person events, our castle event coming up, 161 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.720 it's gonna be this, it's gonna be our team 162 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.520 like pouring in wisdom into your business 163 00:10:09.520 --> 00:10:11.160 in all these different areas, 164 00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:14.360 but led more from our team, our leadership team. 165 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.920 You know, I think the first time we really saw 166 00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:19.680 the impact of this was two, three years ago, 167 00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:23.760 we went to Mexico, maybe it was two years ago at this point. 168 00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:26.400 And we had basically stations for our inner circle. 169 00:10:26.400 --> 00:10:28.320 We did an extra day for inner circle there. 170 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.040 And we just had stations where you just go sit 171 00:10:30.040 --> 00:10:32.560 with Kimberly, you know, and just talk ops, right? 172 00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:34.520 And then you go sit with, you know, me 173 00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:36.440 and talk vision and marketing, 174 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.160 and then you'd go sit with the finance, right? 175 00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:39.720 And we just rotated around. 176 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.120 And it was like, literally in one day, 177 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.920 it was like we saw transformation and plans being rolled out 178 00:10:44.920 --> 00:10:46.520 and vision being expanded. 179 00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:48.320 And it was such a powerful, like, just like, man, 180 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:49.240 we've been through this stuff. 181 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.200 Why can't we just share it with you? 182 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.680 You know, we've been through a lot of ups and downs 183 00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:55.680 and hard things and pivots and all the stuff 184 00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:56.720 in our business. 185 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.760 We would love to just do that with installing 186 00:10:58.760 --> 00:11:01.240 kind of our team's brains into your team 187 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.320 just by getting around you more. 188 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.120 And like Megan said, we do have 189 00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:08.000 even higher priced product. 190 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.720 You know, I'm air quoting that product that we've created 191 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.720 where, you know, seven and eight figure business owners 192 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.720 are actually gonna be hiring our team to do this with them 193 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.280 over just a week long period. 194 00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:20.200 And so those businesses will be paying anywhere 195 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.680 from 50 to $75,000 just to have access 196 00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:25.520 to the same team for one week. 197 00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:27.320 Like those do a day with me, a day with Jay, 198 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:28.480 a day with Kimberly. 199 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.520 And, you know, we know in this room, 200 00:11:30.520 --> 00:11:33.720 that's probably a price point that makes it unaccessible. 201 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.520 So we're like, how could we do this with the same team, 202 00:11:36.520 --> 00:11:39.600 with the same, you know, wisdom and juice 203 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.200 that you can squeeze out of us 204 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.120 in a more affordable and accessible format? 205 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.080 Let's do it through this inner circle membership, 206 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.440 the business with you guys, 207 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.920 but also the businesses we're bringing in. 208 00:11:50.920 --> 00:11:51.760 Does that make sense? 209 00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:54.440 So that's really the vision of like how we're gonna shift 210 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.560 is like we're bringing in outside industries in, 211 00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:00.320 we're bringing in our mastermind in. 212 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.720 And I think the combo of that's gonna be incredible. 213 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:06.920 And then we're shifting the weekly rhythm 214 00:12:06.920 --> 00:12:10.680 to be led by more of our team experts 215 00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:12.640 on our leadership team. 216 00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:14.720 Now there's a couple of other things that are changing. 217 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.480 We're going to replace the like the second I sessions, 218 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.320 the unlimited second I sessions 219 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.920 with this higher level weekly support. 220 00:12:22.920 --> 00:12:25.960 You know, we really believe in, you know, 221 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:27.600 quality over quantity, right? 222 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.560 And so really leaning in in the weekly times 223 00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:32.740 instead of just a lot of, you know, 224 00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:36.440 second I sessions that are kind of random here and there. 225 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.320 And then we also want to have success coaches 226 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.120 come and pair with you guys 227 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.680 to be involved in some sort of monthly one-on-one check-in 228 00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:44.480 that's more of a one-on-one time. 229 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.360 You know, the weekly is typically group 230 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.160 because we see a lot of impact in a community group setting, 231 00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:52.200 learning from even other people's questions, 232 00:12:52.280 --> 00:12:55.200 but then a success coach comes in to walk with you, 233 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.600 do some accountability, do some one-on-one check-ins. 234 00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.800 And then also like, 235 00:12:58.800 --> 00:13:01.400 they're kind of like our ears on the ground too 236 00:13:01.400 --> 00:13:03.200 with things you need, you know, 237 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.120 and that helps guide like the workshops we bring in 238 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:09.080 and the trainings we bring and even the in-person events. 239 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.320 Now, I guess we should talk about 240 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.560 the in-person events, Megan. 241 00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:18.120 We are really thinking to the in-person events 242 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.000 will be a big focal point of the Inner Circle program 243 00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:23.640 because every time we do them, 244 00:13:23.640 --> 00:13:24.880 we see just such a big impact. 245 00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:27.880 And me and Chelsea like honestly avoided in-person events 246 00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:29.880 for a long time because the season of life we're in, 247 00:13:29.880 --> 00:13:31.960 I get it, like you guys are in a similar season. 248 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.640 It can be hard to travel, you know, with young kids, 249 00:13:34.640 --> 00:13:37.800 you gotta figure stuff out, but it's so powerful. 250 00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:41.000 Just like two, three, sometimes four days away, 251 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.680 even just getting away from your normal routine 252 00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:45.040 is so powerful within itself. 253 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:46.920 I always get downloads and visions 254 00:13:46.920 --> 00:13:49.680 and like upgrades in my business when I do this. 255 00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:51.560 Not only that, getting around this community 256 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:52.960 and building the relationships. 257 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.920 And I just get the sense that 258 00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:56.400 with the way the internet is going, 259 00:13:56.400 --> 00:13:59.000 with AI and artificial intelligence 260 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.520 and artificial everything, like I feel like 261 00:14:02.520 --> 00:14:06.120 there's gonna be a major desire for in-person stuff. 262 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:07.800 There's gonna be a major like draw 263 00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:08.920 and you've probably seen that too. 264 00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:10.680 Like you've been like anytime I've gotten in-person, 265 00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:12.080 it's been life-changing, you know? 266 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.880 And so we are gonna really shift focus 267 00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:18.760 to doing a lot of like leaning in 268 00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:20.560 during those in-person events. 269 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.160 As of this point, we have two events per year 270 00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:25.160 that we're planning, but as this grows, 271 00:14:25.160 --> 00:14:27.240 it could even go up to once a quarter. 272 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.880 And as a Inner Circle member, 273 00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:30.320 you'll get access to those events. 274 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.520 Like included with the cost of Inner Circle, 275 00:14:32.520 --> 00:14:33.880 you'll get access to those events, 276 00:14:33.880 --> 00:14:35.920 whether it's two a year, which is what we're doing now, 277 00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:39.000 or eventually once a quarter at some point. 278 00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:43.000 Did I miss anything on the event front, Megan? 279 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.280 Yeah, I just wanna address like, 280 00:14:44.280 --> 00:14:46.920 I have gotten a couple of questions 281 00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:48.880 from just a couple of you who are like, 282 00:14:48.920 --> 00:14:51.200 okay, what if I either don't want to 283 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.680 or I can't go to in-person events? 284 00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:56.480 Like, is there an option for Inner Circle membership 285 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.320 like without in-person events at like a lower rate? 286 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.520 Cause I wanna like be. 287 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.200 around for the for the weekly thing and I'm gonna I'm gonna be honest with you guys like we really 288 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.040 like we wrestled with this question because it was like okay what's what makes sense like 289 00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:16.320 what's the right thing to do and the answer that we came to on this is there is no inner circle 290 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.880 membership without in-person events and I know for some of you that's going to be like that's 291 00:15:20.880 --> 00:15:26.480 that's not what I was hoping to hear um let me explain their reasoning on this okay like like 292 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:32.160 Stephen mentioned and there's there is something very impactful that happens on in-person events 293 00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:38.960 that you just cannot replicate outside of it you there's just like a something that you kind of 294 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:43.200 miss if you're not there and if you just went to sell or something like you know exactly what I'm 295 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:47.040 talking about if you were at the castle last year like you know what I'm talking about there's just 296 00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:52.480 something that we can't capture and we really feel like what we want to create with the inner 297 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.080 circle membership and just like the the high levelness that we're going for and the amount 298 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:05.280 of support the community like we cannot achieve that without in-person events and so if you want 299 00:16:05.280 --> 00:16:09.600 to be an inner circle member and you still want to like join and not go to the in-person events like 300 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:16.560 you can like you can you can do that but we feel like you're going to be missing a big part of it 301 00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:22.160 and you know some of you are going to be like one but not but not both or like maybe if someday we 302 00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:26.000 do three or four you'll go to one or two that's totally fine like i'm not saying you need to be 303 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.760 able like add everything all the time like you've got kids you've got families like i i totally get 304 00:16:29.760 --> 00:16:35.600 it um but we're not like offering a like this is inner circle membership without inner circle 305 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:42.240 without in-person events and this is it with we just we really want to encourage people to um 306 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.520 like make the commitment because we do feel like it's really worth it and so we're i'm not saying 307 00:16:47.520 --> 00:16:51.520 you can't do inner circle membership if you don't plan on going i'm just saying there isn't a 308 00:16:51.520 --> 00:16:57.840 different price for that so just know that if that's like a uh like a deal breaker for you 309 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.800 like i want you to have a clear answer on that yeah and the in-person stuff it's something that 310 00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:07.839 we're committed to invest in like the castle we've already invested in booking the castle you have to 311 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.560 book those like i think we booked in like february this year you know in faith being like we're going 312 00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:19.280 to do this thing we're going to have this many people go um and and so um with like kind of 313 00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:24.079 knowing we're doing in-person events knowing we're already doing in-person events um the price 314 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.360 of inner circle does need to go up okay so uh being an inner circle member like simply like 315 00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:35.120 literally just to cover time and cost um the new price of inner circle membership is going to be 316 00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:38.720 seventy eight hundred dollars a year so seven thousand eight hundred dollars a year that'll 317 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.880 be our inner circle membership that'll include you know what we just talked about weekly support from 318 00:17:43.280 --> 00:17:51.840 our c-suite team you know um to act two times you know in-person events uh covered um at minimum and 319 00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:56.000 all the other like inner circle goodies i won't go through all the stuff um but yeah seven eight 320 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:02.960 hundred dollars is going to be the price um however i know like this group is unique and like um you 321 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:10.160 are really our our founder founding members of this inner circle membership um and so um megan 322 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:16.880 you know more nuances of where people are at um but we we have an idea to to make it right for you 323 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:21.360 guys and not just be like hey guess what the price is now seventy eight hundred dollars like you know 324 00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:27.280 sorry you know um and like that's probably what we should be charging to cover time and team and 325 00:18:27.280 --> 00:18:34.080 and the castle and all the things um but yeah megan's like i don't feel good just pumping it 326 00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:40.400 without letting people know um so um megan's gonna explain some of the pricing yeah shifts 327 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:46.160 yeah yeah so like just like you know maybe like a month ago or whatever it was that we talked about 328 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:50.240 inner circle membership we were like hey if you want to jump in at inner circle membership it's 329 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:55.120 44.88 a year and a couple of you did jump in so like don't worry nothing's changing for you 330 00:18:55.120 --> 00:19:00.960 um a couple of you did jump in and the rest of you were kind of like i don't know like you know 331 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.640 you're all in like these unique scenarios because you have vip coaching and like all these things 332 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:08.480 and so we're like you know what we're going to talk about this we're going to think through this 333 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:13.120 how do we like make this right for everyone considering everyone's situations like all those 334 00:19:13.120 --> 00:19:18.800 kinds of things and so what i don't want to do is like come to you now and be like hey we're giving 335 00:19:18.800 --> 00:19:24.080 you like a short trial and then we'll come back to you with like another offer and then the other 336 00:19:24.080 --> 00:19:29.680 offer is like even more than what we just said and so that doesn't like that's not that's not 337 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:35.920 how we're going to do this okay so we are still going to give everyone a chance like whether you 338 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:42.400 are og inner circle member and and you're on some other payment plan right now or you need to renew 339 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:47.920 in august or you're on a temporary free trial like this is for everyone we're going to offer everyone 340 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:55.200 the chance to jump in for one more year of inner circle membership at 4480 okay and like just to 341 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.840 be really real with you guys like there is no way we can go lower than that because 342 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.480 that is a break-even price for us, like that is a break-even price for us, including in-person 343 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.080 events. So like when I'm saying including in-person events, I'm saying like the castle 344 00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:14.800 that we're going to in October, like your accommodations are included, your meals are 345 00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:20.240 included, like it is, it's all included. And that's kind of a unique in-person event, 346 00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:25.040 because most of the time like you go to an in-person event, there's like a ticket cost, 347 00:20:25.040 --> 00:20:31.200 and then you pay for your accommodations. The castle is unique because we're renting like, 348 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:36.720 we're renting the rooms, we're renting the space, like we're doing everything. So that's a part of 349 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:42.080 the reason why like, you know, that's just the hard cost. So and that's like two events for the 350 00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:46.400 year. So that really is just like a break-even price for us, you guys, like we just can't go 351 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:52.640 lower than that. But, and that's the reason why it's going up as well to 7,800, because 352 00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:56.720 eventually we're going to have to charge more for this. But we don't want to like come to you guys 353 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.880 and be like, sorry, you have to pay this now. You had your chance a month ago, but like now it's 354 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:06.000 this. So you still have a chance to jump in on that. But just know that this is going to be the 355 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:12.400 last time that we're going to do this at this price. Like after this, after, you know, whoever 356 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.240 signs up for this, after this, like Inner Circle membership is going to be 7,800 for everyone, 357 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.800 like moving forward, because we can't like operate at a break-even price forever. I mean, 358 00:21:22.800 --> 00:21:26.240 I know you guys get that, like you have businesses and products, like you understand. 359 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:33.280 So just want you guys to know that you can jump in at 4,480. And the caveat to that is, 360 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:40.240 we have very real like timelines going on. And so if you're going to jump in, we need your yes 361 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:45.280 on that by Monday. We need your yes by Monday. I'm going to talk about what that means. 362 00:21:45.760 --> 00:21:52.240 But just to explain, like we are actively selling tickets to the castle, okay, the castle retreat. 363 00:21:52.800 --> 00:21:58.800 And we have very limited spots on that. We've got like 30 rooms. A couple of those are already 364 00:21:58.800 --> 00:22:04.240 taken. And then our new Inner Circle Accelerator students that are going to be doing this next 365 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.280 accelerator like in August, they're going to get a spot as well. So in reality, we have like 10 366 00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:15.440 to 15 spots available for that, which we could be going and selling to Mastermind students right 367 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:20.880 now. But we want to give you first chance because we already like promised you that you could go if 368 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:25.440 you want to join Inner Circle membership. So this is why we're asking you to let us know by Monday, 369 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.760 because we need to know how many spots we have available to go sell to the Mastermind, 370 00:22:29.760 --> 00:22:32.960 because we will be selling tickets to Mastermind students to attend this event. 371 00:22:33.520 --> 00:22:40.160 The Mastermind tickets for this event are $2,700 just for this event, like just for the castle 372 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:45.280 event. And Inner Circle members are getting an extra day, like you guys get to be there for 373 00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:49.520 four days, you're going to have a whole day where you're just with like the leadership team, 374 00:22:49.520 --> 00:22:54.160 like very small group one on one with all of us. And then Mastermind members are getting three 375 00:22:54.160 --> 00:23:01.120 days. So you guys are getting an extra day. And you can get it included with the cost of 376 00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:05.440 Inner Circle membership for $4,480, whereas Mastermind students are paying for a ticket 377 00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:12.560 for $2,700 to go to this event. So it's a really good option, like if you're at all considering it. 378 00:23:15.600 --> 00:23:20.240 Let me go back to what I mean by we need your yes by Monday. So we do have really limited spots. So 379 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:25.680 we need to know how many of those spots we're going to have available after we set aside any 380 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:31.600 for you guys. Okay, if you tell us I'm definitely in Megan, save me a spot, we will. But we need a 381 00:23:31.600 --> 00:23:37.120 deposit from you. I'm not saying you need to pay the $4,480 like by Monday, if you want to, like 382 00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:42.240 that would be super helpful for us, like by all means go for it. But at the very least, we need 383 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:49.760 a $1,000 non refundable deposit to save your spot. Okay, like we're already like paying for the castle 384 00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:54.240 event. And we need to know like, this spot is actually taken. Otherwise, we're going to go 385 00:23:54.240 --> 00:24:00.560 sell it for $2,700 in the mastermind. So if you want to spot non refundable $1,000 deposit by 386 00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:06.480 Monday end of day, that's what we're asking for, for you to be like, yes, I'm in, I want to lock 387 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:10.560 in my inner circle membership for the next year. And I want to save my spot at the castle, 388 00:24:11.360 --> 00:24:17.920 you can pay the remainder of the $4,480. So if you pay $1,000 on Monday, there'll be $3,480 left, 389 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:23.280 you can pay the remainder of that by your renewal date in August, like you normally would, that's 390 00:24:23.280 --> 00:24:28.240 going to be for for all of you, it's going to be like early to mid August. So you'll pay the 391 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:33.520 remainder of that in August. If you're like, you know what, I don't want to renew inner circle 392 00:24:33.520 --> 00:24:37.600 membership, like I've already made up my mind on this, like no action needed from you at all, 393 00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:42.880 you're like, nothing's going to change. Until August, you're free to like stay and hang out 394 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.680 and like soak up all the inner circle membership goodie stuff through August. And then at that 395 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:52.800 time, you can go back into the mastermind. Or if you want to rejoin inner circle later again, 396 00:24:52.800 --> 00:24:56.880 you can but it'll be at the new rate, it'll be at the new rate of 7800. So 397 00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:59.840 I just want like that to be clear for everyone. Did I miss 398 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.960 Anything on that, Steven? 399 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:01.960 Like, does that all make sense? 400 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:02.680 I think you got it. 401 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:03.840 Yeah, I think you got it. 402 00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:07.640 So thank you guys like for, um, partnering with us and like 403 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.140 making a decision on this. 404 00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:12.980 It just, again, with us already financially committed to castle. 405 00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:17.400 Um, it's like, we're selling those seats regardless if you're in or not, 406 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.760 but I'd rather you be in. 407 00:25:18.760 --> 00:25:20.840 And so that's what we're giving you first shot on it. 408 00:25:20.840 --> 00:25:21.880 Like we love this group. 409 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.720 We want to keep doing life with this group and, um, you can get in with just 410 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.600 that thousand dollar deposit by Monday sometime, um, we'll reach out to 411 00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:32.160 everyone and, and, and get your yes or no. 412 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:37.960 Um, and, um, there was something else I was going to say on that. 413 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:39.640 And then the remainder is due on in August. 414 00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.080 And then you're like, you're done for the year and you're getting 415 00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:44.200 inner circle at like a $3,000 discount. 416 00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.920 Then what it will be for people like actively going through it, even 417 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:49.160 at the same time as you, you know?
