Building Gateway With The First 100

I'm not building a course. I'm not building another "business program."

I'm building a platform that evolves with its members.

The Gateway Launch: Framework First, Modules Forever

Current Status: Pre-launch phase, securing founding members

Gateway isn't a finished product you buy. It's a living system you help build.

Phase 1 (Founding Members - Now):

• Complete Command Center Method™ framework
• Weekly implementation coaching
• Lifestyler community access
• Business Foundations course
• Core templates and systems

Phase 2 (Next 12-24 Months):

• Community-built plug-and-play modules get documented
• Your specific needs shape what gets built next
• Every solution becomes permanent infrastructure
• Value compounds while founding rates stay locked

Phase 3 (Years 2-5):

• Complete business OS library
• Industry-specific implementation pathways
• Dozens of proven, community-built systems
• Gateway worth $5,000+/year
• Founding members still pay $497-897

Why I'm Building It This Way

Every business program I've seen follows the same model:

1. Guru builds the thing
2. You buy access to the thing
3. The thing never evolves
4. You're stuck with whatever they decided to build

That's backwards.

The people implementing systems know more about what works than any single "expert." Gateway captures that collective intelligence and turns it into infrastructure.

Founding members aren't buying a course. They're getting equity in a platform that compounds in value every month, while their price stays locked forever.

The Founding Member Window

Target Launch: Q4 2025

Founding Spots Available:

• Tier 1 ($497/year): 33 spots
• Tier 2 ($697/year): 33 spots
• Tier 3 ($897/year): 34 spots

After these 100 founding members, the price jumps to $997/year (and will continue rising as value compounds).

The 10-Year Math:

• Founding member at $497/year: $4,970 total
• Same access in Year 5 at market rate ($5,000/year): $50,000+ total
• Founding member saves: $45,000+

This isn't a discount. It's equity.

What I'm NOT Doing

• Building multiple offers (Gateway is the only thing)
• Chasing every opportunity (100 founding members, then we build)
• Creating content for algorithms (Only building what matters)
• Playing the guru game (This is peer-to-peer, not top-down)
• Promising a finished product (This evolves with the community)

One focus. One platform. Built together.

My 90-Day Sprint (Right Now)

Every hour goes to:

1. Perfecting CCM Framework - The foundation everything builds on
2. Building Gateway Infrastructure - Platform, community, coaching systems
3. Documenting The Model - So members can implement, not just consume
4. Onboarding First 100 - These people shape everything that comes next

What Founding Members Are Actually Getting

Not a course. Not a program.

They're getting:

• The framework I spent $36,000 and 10 years NOT learning
• Direct access during the build phase (your needs = our priorities)
• Lifetime founding rate locked in forever (even when we hit $5,000+/year)
• Equity in something that will compound to $40,000+ in value over 10 years
• The satisfaction of co-creating a business OS platform that doesn't exist yet

After The First 100

Once we hit 100 founding members:

Months 1-6: Implement framework with founding cohort, identify first patterns
Months 6-12: Build first wave of plug-and-play modules based on member needs
Year 2: Open to next cohort at $1,500/year (founding members still at $497-897)
Year 3: Library of 30+ systems, price increases to $2,500/year
Year 5: Complete business OS, worth $5,000+/year

Founding members get all of it. At founding rates. Forever.

The Bottom Line

The fisherman already has what you're working toward. Time. Presence. Freedom. Health. Relationships.

You can have that too - with the leverage of modern systems.

But only if you stop deferring and start building the infrastructure that makes it possible.

The first 100 people who lock in aren't just getting a good deal. They're choosing to stop waiting for "someday" and start living now.

Where to Find Me

I'm heads-down building until we hit 100 founding members. But you can:

• Join the waitlist at digitalstartuplifestyle.com
• Read the About page to understand the full model
• Connect on LinkedIn if you're serious about founding tier
• Email directly if you want to discuss your specific needs

This Now page concept inspired by Derek Sivers. Updated whenever the mission shifts (which it won't until we hit 100 founding members and start building together).
