Y'all have been flooding our DMs, so we're doing something we honestly weren't planning on doing. And while we're at it, we're dropping something else that's going to let you make money with us. Let's get into it. 👇 ---- 1. Lifetime VIP — $5,000 💎 We were not planning on ever introducing this. Truly. It wasn't even on the roadmap. But the amount of messages we've gotten asking "what would lifetime cost?" made us actually sit down and think about it. Here's where we landed: $5,000 for lifetime VIP access. A few things we want to be upfront about: VIP started at $47/mo. It's $97/mo now. We're not raising prices anytime soon. As the community keeps growing though, VIP will have to go up. We can only scale Jake's time so much. The $5K number factors in where VIP is heading down the road, not just where it sits today. And honestly? We don't expect anyone to actually pay this. 😅 That's the truth. We're posting this because you asked, and we'd rather give you a straight answer than dodge the question. ⚠️ Before you pull the trigger ⚠️ read this: If you're even thinking about lifetime access to us, you should probably wait. The Lyceum is coming, and Lifetime VIP is included. 🎁 The Lyceum is going to be the single biggest value drop we will ever do. By a mile. If lifetime access is what you want, it's inside the Lyceum at a better deal. Hang tight. 🔥 ---- 2. The Affiliate Program is LIVE 💰 This is the one we're most fired up about. You can now get paid for bringing people into the community. We're starting affiliates at 20% commission. 🎯 That's $5.40/mo on every Premium member you refer. $19.40/mo on every VIP member you refer. For as long as they stay a member. Recurring. Every month. Forever (or until they cancel). Here's how to grab your affiliate link: 🔗 1. Open our Skool community 2. Click the Invite button (top of the page) 3. You'll see your personal affiliate link right there 4. Copy it. Share it. Watch it work. Anyone who joins through your link gets attributed to you, and you start earning the second they pay.

This isn't a finance challenge. It's a design and voice challenge. You don't need to be a CFP to win this. Read the brief. Marcus tells you exactly what he wants and how he thinks. Your job is to build something that solves his problem and sounds like him. 🆕 If you've never built an artifact in Claude before, this is a great first one. The brief is clear, the scope is reasonable, and the bar is "would Marcus actually send this to a prospect?" 🔥 @Ian Barriopedro set the standard last week. Your turn. LFG 🚀
