Q&A
Hi Medium fam,
Got about 101 enquiries so far, answering your excellent questions here for your reference:
Who’s the yearly mastermind for?
There are 2 streams of the yearly mastermind — business and investment.
For the business stream:
- if you are working in a full time job but have been wanting for the longest time or have tried to build a business that would allow you to have the financial freedom to choose whether to leave the job or not…
- if you have been building a business, working hard and working long hours, in effect creating a full time job for yourself, feel trapped, overwhelmed, tired, and want to turn this “self-employed job” to a real business that doesn’t involve selling your time for money…
- if you have tried building business before but for various reasons (or unknown reasons) failed, you’re losing faith in yourself but still from time to time, you want to try again, you still want to figure out the “business” thing, bought courses, joined programs that position as the “magic strategy” that would make the business fly but didn’t seem to work, you feel lost and don’t want to try a dozen more “magic strategy” again…
- if you know you want to build a business but have no idea what to do and haven’t yet decided on a business idea, hence haven’t yet started…
For the stock investment stream:
- if you’re in your 40s or 50s, working in a full time job, have accumulated a relatively substantial lump sum amount in the bank, well aware of the erosion power of inflation and money printing and looking for investment opportunities but also is relatively risk-averse because you’re closer to your retirement age or would like to retire early so would like to see how to put your money to work so that it would keep growing…
- if you’re a landlord and you’ve a property / properties for rental and you’re tired of taking care of tenants and the hustle of renting out real estate, you’re looking for alternative ways of investing that are more passive and still give a reasonable return…
- if you’re in your 20s or 30s, realise that you want to retire early and the earlier you start investing the better, may have tried investing in stocks before based on rumours and tips on media but didn’t worked out well, and you have other things to do (career building or business) so you don’t want to monitor the market full time, would like to start building a freedom portfolio for travelling around the world or otherwise support your early retirement life…
- if you’ve lost money in the stock market before, and want to learn a systematic way to set up your own investment system to avoid emotional reaction to the market…
2. How long is the yearly mastermind?
The program runs for one year, with bi-weekly live calls, and any bonus calls, depending on the needs for the year.
For details pls refer to the structure of each trench.
3. How much time would I need for the yearly mastermind?
You can spend as much or as little time as you want. (Translate: there is no model answer to this)
If you want to get the most out of a specific topic, you may want to spend more time practising and applying. If you’ve dealt with a topic before, you may want to spend less time on it.
If you are busy with life that week, you may have less time to spend on the yearly mastermind, but you can always have access to the materials and resources that week for catching up later. Vice versa if you’ll have a week’s holiday and can afford to spend more time.
Generally speaking, you would need around 1–2 hours each week, 1 hour to go through the session (live or recorded), another hour for application.
4. What if I join now? When will it start?
It starts in Jan 2025,
but if you join now, you can jumpstarted right now without waiting –
if you’re in the business stream, you can start with the Epic 12 execution system immediately (sold as a standalone program for $4997)
• setting a solid foundation so that when you learn the strategies in 2025, you are supported by a HIGHLY EFFECTIVE execution system.
That would take you 6–8 weeks to learn and put into practice, bringing us right at the beginning of 2025.
if you’re in the investment stream, you can start with the Freedom Portfolio (sold as a standalone program for $4997)
• it’s the basis 101 introduction program to passive investing, you can start with just $100
That would take you 6–8 weeks to learn and put into practice, bringing us right at the beginning of 2025.
5. What if I can’t attend a session?
In short, don’t worry, you’ll have lifetime access to everything.
We understand that schedules can conflict, and each persons could have different agendas at various stages of life. All sessions are recorded and all the resources are made available to students for revisiting or catching up.
6. What will I gain from the program?
By the end of the business yearly mastermind, you’ll grasp a dozen essential concepts in each of the 5 critical realms in business, which you have practiced, applied and experience first-hand. These would be your profitable skills that you can apply not just to build and grow your own business, but also in any business that you want to work with. The key is to truly understand key concepts deeply, practice and apply, not to overwhelm or over-burden you with information.
For the investment yearly mastermind, you’ll grasp a dozen essential that would allow you to master the stock markets for the whole wide world (including international stocks focusing on the US) and even the notoriously difficult China stock market, know when to buy, when to sell, what to invest in, what’s your investment strategy at any given moment of time, know how to analyze the market so that the power of the macro trend is in our favor. You would also have the experience to practice and apply the principles firsthand with as little money as you want in the stock markets (and should make some profits). These would be your lifetime profitable skills that you can apply so that money works for you.
7. Is there a limit to the number of participants?
Yes, to ensure quality interactions and personalized attention, we limit the number of participants. So apply early to secure your spot.
8. How do I apply for the program?
See details in the doc here
9. Is the yearly mastermind expensive?
Haha good question! For those of you who have been with me for a while may know, the Freedom portfolio (which is 1/4 of the investment yearly mastermind is $1997 paid in full, or $399 for monthly instalments), and the Epic 12 execution system (which is 1/8 of the business yearly mastermind is $4997 paid in full, or $799 monthly instalments).
For this yearly mastermind for business and investment, I could have broken it down into a dozen programs and sell each one for $1997–4997 easily. BUT I want you to have the full picture… if you’re committed to your financial future, I don’t want you to have various systems and having to piece it together by yourself.
Please act now. The price is definitely going to go up.
10. Why does the yearly mastermind last a year, not a quarter or a few months?
I’m not here to teach a few modules and run off with your money, I want to aid your application and practice cuz that’s what will give you results. That application phase is what most people fail and that phase takes time. So you need to commit to yourself as well, while I make my commitment to you.
11. Is there a refund policy?
Generally, refunds are not provided after the program has commenced, but we are open to discussing special circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
12. Can I quit mid-way? / Why the mastermind lasts a year, not a quarter or a few months?
You can but not encouraged, because for business or investment, if you don’t have to commit, most likely it’s not going to work. Commitment is needed for you to get the most out of the learn and practice experience. I’m not here to teach a few modules and run off with your money, I want to aid your application and practice cuz that’s what will give you results. So you need to commit to yourself as well.
If you miss something, no worries, you’ll have lifetime access to the materials and resources, but the feedback period would last for 1 year (unless you re-enroll next year)
