Win It Back or Earn It Forward: the full terms
Last updated 7 October 2026
Complete the seven-day challenge and your $250 comes back to you, or carries forward to EMPOWERED. Your choice, not ours. This page is the whole thing in plain words, so you can read it before you decide rather than after.
What you do
- Reserve a seat and pay the $250.
- Join our online community. There is no charge to join it.
- Attend your session live. If you can’t, tell us before the session and we’ll talk about whether an approved recording path is available. It isn’t automatic, and if we approve one we’ll tell you in writing when your seven days start.
- Choose one commitment during the session: one thing you can finish within seven days, that is in your control, with a date and something someone else could see.
- Post your commitment in the community before you leave the session.
- Do it by the date you named.
- Post your check-in in the community. If you’d rather send it another way, reply to your reminder email and we’ll take it from there.
- Choose Win It Back or Earn It Forward within three days of your deadline.
The clock
Seven calendar days, starting when your session ends. If we approved a recording path for you, it starts at the point we put in writing.
You can pick an earlier deadline. You can’t pick a later one, unless your action is formally revised (see below).
What counts as a check-in
Five short answers:
- What you committed to do.
- Whether you did it.
- One piece of proof.
- What you learned.
- Your next right action.
Proof should be simple and in proportion to the thing. A screenshot, a photo, a confirmation, a calendar entry, a published link, the finished thing, or a few lines about a conversation you had.
If your commitment was private or sensitive, you don’t have to share the details. Tell us you did it and write a short reflection. That counts.
If something gets in the way
You can revise your commitment once during the seven days, when the original action turns out to be impossible because something outside your control changed, the scope was bigger than any of us understood, you’ve learned something that makes a different step the right one, or the thing was never actually in your control.
Tell us what changed in the community and we’ll approve the revised action and the date. We’ll keep your original deadline whenever that’s reasonable.
Revising is not for a week that got busy, or for motivation that faded. Those are the weeks the challenge is for.
Choosing, within three days
You have three calendar days after your deadline to choose. The two can’t be combined.
If you don’t choose by then, the $250 stays with us and no credit remains available.
Win It Back
Your full $250 back. No explanation, no call, nothing to justify.
We start the refund within five business days of your choice and confirm it the same day we start it. Your card provider may take a few more days to post it, which is on their side, not ours.
Earn It Forward
Your full $250 applied to EMPOWERED, the year of building your playbook. EMPOWERED is $1,000 for the year, or $100 a month. The credit comes off either one.
The credit can only go toward EMPOWERED. It can’t be split across other things, it can’t be transferred to someone else, it has no cash value, and it applies to the current enrollment unless we agree otherwise in writing.
If you choose Earn It Forward, we apply the credit and charge the remainder to the card you already used, unless you tell us you’d rather use a different card or talk about terms. In that case the credit holds for up to seven more days while we sort the payment out. The choice itself still has to be made inside the original three days.
Your twelve months start the day your enrollment is complete.
If you don’t complete it
Then neither option applies. We keep the $250.
That rule exists for the people who did the work, not to punish anyone who didn’t. You keep everything from the workshop, the worksheet is yours, and you keep your place in the community. If the week got away from you, come and say so. That conversation is worth having and nobody is going to make you feel bad about it.
What we promise for our part
Two hours with Steve and Bobby in a room of fifteen or fewer. A worksheet you keep. The check-in path, made clear before you leave.
During your challenge week: a kickoff note, a check-in around the middle of the week, a reminder about a day before your deadline, a place to ask for help when you get stuck, and a place to post your win.
Every question, struggle or revision request gets a human answer within one business day. If something is about to stop you finishing, we’ll come back faster than that. On weekends we check once a day and answer anything urgent.
What this is not: seven days of private coaching, or a redesign of your whole goal. It is help finishing the one thing you chose.
