11. I really want in, but I don't have any money.
This is an excellent opportunity to practice Self-Mastery RIGHT NOW. I'm going to help you (If you were to post this question in the community, this is the kind of reply you would get). Please read.
There are three angles here. The first is that in many cases it can be easier to find $297 in your budget over the next 3 months, after selling something or cutting out unnecessary purchases/expenses.
The second angle is that you need to realize how much money you are leaving on the table with your money mindset, approaches, time use, lack of clarity, decision making processes, idea generation and productivity systems. How much money would Self-Mastery save you? If you had a little more Self-Mastery and direction you could follow a budget and temporarily sacrifice buying coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, cam sites, dining, video games, junk food - until you can increase your budget or cut them altogether.
How much money could you make with more Self-Mastery? One small tweak in your approach at your work moves you closer to a promotion, sometimes within weeks. Through Self-Mastery you can take inventory of how you spend your time and create more time by eliminating activities that aren't solving your current money situation.
How much money can you make if you spent 2, 5 or 10 focused hours a week on solving this problem of not affording $297 for 3 months access?
The third angle is to focus on the first 90 days. Focus on how to get the $297 so you can get in. Then you don't have to worry about the $39 a month for 3 months (worst case you can cancel before 90 days to avoid the first $39 billing cycle). 3 months, with more Self-Mastery is a long time to make substantial changes. You could get a friend to help out in this investment in yourself - if you're 100% committed to implementing everything you learn and to fully engage in the community. You can set up a payment plan with them that works for you. I'm just giving you ideas here. Do what you're comfortable with. Another idea is to sell something on a free online marketplace. I've often done this when I don't want to go into my budget. I'll sell some collectible or furniture that isn't used on free online marketplaces and make a little bit of extra cash. Perhaps it's a hybrid of selling something and getting a friend to help.
This is not financial advice. I'm simply providing ideas for you to think of.
12. Is it private? How much do I have to share?
Yes, the Self-Mastery Club is for paying members only. You can share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. You will get tremendous value even if you don't share anything but you lurk and read other peoples posts. I highly recommend to at least comment on other peoples posts encouraging them! This works wonders for you! It is engaging for you. Then maybe, in time, you may want to share a little. But it's not required for you to build Self-Mastery. I've seen this kind of thing a lot in my communities. It's normal. Self-Mastery isn't about forcing yourself.
13. How much interaction with YOU do I get?
I'll be doing monthly calls where I share some of the latest ideas and systems that I'm working on. It's also a chance to say hello and take questions from the community. Then up to weekly on the course cohorts. I also frequent the forums and activity feeds.
14. What are cohorts? How long are they? Why is it important?
A cohort is when a group of people start a course on the same day and go through it together. This is the Convergent Mastermind principle on steroids. We will have weekly calls where we summarize the material, do exercises and answer the questions. We will participate in organized work in the forums. Everyone is working on the same material together - very powerful!
It gives you more motivation, energy and power.
The length is different for each cohort, and we continue to experiment. For example our Reforged Man cohort runs for about 8 weeks.
15. Is this an app? Where do I log in?
There WILL be an app developed here soon. You access the Self-Mastery Club on the web at app.selfmasteryclub.com.
16. How often will new content be added?
Weekly!
