Two Big Drops: 20% Affiliate Program 🚀 & Lifetime VIP
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. đŸ”„ ---- 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?" đŸ”„ @Ian Barriopedro set the standard last week. Your turn. LFG 🚀
Each dot is 3.2 million people.
📊 You've probably seen this chart floating around LinkedIn and Twitter Each dot is 3.2 million people. ⬜ Grey is the 84% of humans who have never used AI đŸŸ© Green is the 16% who have used a free chatbot 🟹 Yellow is the 0.3% who pay for one đŸŸ„ Red is the tiny sliver who use AI coding tools Most of the people sharing it have not actually said what it means. So here it is. 🔁 We live inside an algorithm. Mine shows me AI all day. Yours probably does too. Every reel, every post, every podcast clip, every ad. The feed makes it feel like the whole world has moved on without you and you are sprinting to keep up. Inside Clief Notes that feeling gets louder. You log in and see people building agents, shipping side projects, automating their inbox, talking about Claude Code and MCP servers like it is normal. In this room, it is. Step outside and almost nobody is doing any of it. 6.8 billion people have never opened a chatbot. Plenty of the ones who did opened it once, asked it something dumb, got a dumb answer, and decided the whole thing sucked. They are not coming back this year. Maybe not next year either. đŸȘ– When I was in the Marine Corps I never felt like I was doing anything special. I was surrounded by other Marines. Everyone around me could do what I could do. The standard was the standard. It was not until I left and stood next to people who had never served that I understood. The thing I thought was ordinary was rare. I just could not see it because I was inside it. That is what is happening to you in here. If you feel behind in this community, that is the right feeling to have. It means you are standing next to the people pushing the edge. Step outside this room and the thing you are calling behind is so far ahead of where most of the world is sitting that they cannot see you from where they are. And do not forget. The thing you built last week, the workflow you set up this morning, the conversation you just had with Claude. A version of you from two years ago would have paid good money to do any of it.

Council of 5
I am known to take Claude outputs and put them into ChatGPT for blind-spot checks. Today I decided to create a "council of 5" skill that runs any question, problem, solution, document, etc., through 5 distinct personalities, with 3 rounds of discussion, then a consensus. 1. The professor: peer-reviewed/cited sources only 2. The teacher: logical, wonders, "is this the right question to be asking" 3. The founder: can this be done, and what is the fastest way 4. The outside: zero context, thinks outside of the box 5. The contrarian: hunts for the fatal flaw in everything. Sharing the skill here if it could help anyone.
