In case you missed the final SITREP click on right here.

PREFACE

The engagement has been manner down contained in the tribe these days and it’s primarily on account of our briefly low member rely. We misplaced lots during the last couple of years as a result of pandemic in addition to a mistake I made that I’ve already shed readability on quite a few occasions so I’m not going to try this once more. Please take a look at the final SITREP for more information on that. It’s no secret that we’ve got barely survived this pandemic as a enterprise and I defined why within the final report. Most of you all know my spouse and I’ve constructed all of this with nothing and no outdoors assist or funding companions. Simply private funds and onerous ass work for over a decade. So when this occurred, it made issues very tough for us to maintain going, however we did, and we’ve got survived so far. We’re not within the clear but and have numerous issues to enhance on.

Firstly of this 12 months, I made a decision to drag again a bit of bit to give attention to key income-producing actions that weren’t part of this enterprise, as most of you recognize this isn’t the one enterprise I run. Together with this choice to drag focus, I additionally recommitted to the health regiment that my coach Eddie and I developed earlier than he handed away. I’ve spent the overwhelming majority of this 12 months targeted on consulting, coaching, and considering. I’ve been in my head lots making an attempt to plan our subsequent few years for MASK and what I would like that to appear to be. With the present political and social climates we live in, I wished to spend so much of additional time focusing and planning this 12 months to make sure I make the correct strikes over the approaching years. We simply don’t know what they’re going to appear to be and whereas we pray they don’t, we are attempting to arrange for them to worsen. This implies I need to ensure our general strategy, merchandise, applications, and branding align with all the things I envision. I nonetheless have some powerful choices to make however I’ve a fairly good heading and numerous issues to get began on for the subsequent season of enterprise. We’re planning numerous good modifications and enhancements to all the things we do. I’ll clarify them in additional element under.

CHANGES TO MEMBERSHIP

This can be a massive one. Each couple of years we make modifications however this one might be one of many largest we’ve got achieved and for my part, the most effective, as it would permit us the flexibility to serve our members higher than we ever have earlier than. Membership is already nice, inexpensive, and loaded with perks. We need to take it to a different degree and get extra hands-on with our members whereas offering extra membership choices, a transparent path for development, extra perks, and higher applications. We are able to’t accomplish this with out some vital modifications to our membership construction. Quite a lot of that is nonetheless to be decided over the subsequent 2 months, so I can’t reveal a lot but, however I can say just a few issues.

1.  We might be discontinuing our Lifetime Membership choice. It’s a risk we convey it again seasonally throughout a sale or one thing very particular, however it’s going away as an anytime choice. We might be changing it with a model new month-to-month membership degree with a very completely different perk set and worth than our present month-to-month (Delta) membership. So shifting ahead, we’re going to have 2 month-to-month choices, and 1 annual choice with the Lifetime choice solely being supplied solely to present members beneath particular occasions and circumstances.
2. Earlier than we make these modifications, we might be providing a “final name” likelihood for any present members to benefit from our lifetime membership choice + unique perks at a heavy low cost as a solution to say thanks for sticking with us by way of these powerful occasions, and a few of you since our inception. Belief me, it is going to be a deal you’ll not need to move up and can by no means be supplied to anybody once more.
3. We’re debating a transition to an utility course of versus an on-demand signup course of. We wish our Tribe to really feel extra unique. We additionally need to guarantee we’re attracting the correct members. Individuals who take preparedness as critically as we do. We aren’t optimistic if we might be making this transition or not as a result of we’ve got lots to consider. This choice would additionally have an effect on our Vanguard Associates program in just a few methods so we’re taking time to weigh the choice and proceed in a manner that advantages us and our associates. We could break up check it for some time, we could solely require the appliance for sure membership plans, or we’d not do it in any respect. We are going to maintain you guys knowledgeable on the route as soon as we all know for certain.
4. If we resolve to vary something to a plan that you’re presently subscribed to, don’t fear. You may be grandfathered and nothing will change as long as you retain the account lively. If canceled, you may not get to return again beneath the identical plan.

CHANGES TO PROGRAMS

As you all know we’ve got a handful of nice applications comparable to WASP, Vanguard, the Visitor Contributor Workforce, and our month-to-month Mission Coaching Calendar, and so forth. Each few years we attempt to do a giant overhaul and refresh all the things we do. From our web site design to our merchandise and applications. I’m blissful to say that we’re fairly proud of issues as they’re in relation to the entrance finish and consumer expertise on our website so we is not going to be spending as many assets on that this 12 months. There are some things we might be bettering, however general, our focus might be directed towards our applications and coaching programs. Right here are some things to stay up for.

1. The Mission Calendar – You probably have paid consideration you’ll know that my imaginative and prescient for the mission coaching course of has all the time been to gamify it inside our personal app. Together with that, we plan to create an interactive, dynamic graph that modifications as you alter. I might be calling it the “Primal Methodology VectorGraph.” This imaginative and prescient is a good distance off and might be very costly to develop however we’ll get there. I don’t plan to remain the place we’re although. I wish to function in stepping stones and the subsequent stepping stone we’re leaping to regarding the mission coaching calendar goes to dramatically change the best way participation works. Social media is all the time evolving and the strategies we’ve got historically used to trace participation at the moment are ineffective. We’re presently constructing out a model new database that can permit us to do numerous superior new issues with this program. We will have an official leaderboard and have expertise factors related to every mission, tutorials and assist information, and a lot extra. With this database, the way you take part will change. You’ll now not merely be posting on social media with a hashtag. There might be a bit of bit extra concerned nevertheless it’s all good issues that can make this program far more efficient and enjoyable for all members. Beginning this month and for the subsequent few months, whereas we end constructing this out, we’ll now not be doing a rewards bundle the identical manner we’ve got been on account of engagement being so low with this program in the intervening time. We might be doing far more and higher rewards packages and prizes when the brand new system is completed. So maintain an eye fixed out for extra updates on this! It’s going to be an amazing change to what I consider is our coolest program. We additionally haven’t enhanced this program in any respect because it was created. So it’s about rattling time.
2. Operation: Optimize – I do know I’ve teased new curriculum updates and I nonetheless intend on it. I simply determined to place a strong quantity of private testing behind a number of the new techniques and methods. Testing this form of stuff isn’t one thing that’s achieved over the quick time period. It’s very data-driven and I like to ensure the info appears good over years and never simply months. I get shut. The updates and model new bonus classes will for certain roll out within the first half of 2022. Within the meantime, in preparation for the brand new 12 months, now is a good time to undergo the course once more to get you again in the correct mindset for subsequent 12 months! Don’t let improper techniques and mindsets maintain you again. I promise in the event you implement this stuff with self-discipline your total state of affairs will change for the higher, regardless if it’s already going nicely or not. 2022 goes to be a giant 12 months for us. I hope you make it one too. In case you’re not a scholar of Operation: Optimize faucet right here to be taught extra.
3. Primal Methodology – Layer 2 Coaching – As you all know, Eddie handed away final 12 months. He was our devoted Tribe coach. We had many plans for coaching programs and applications for health and layer 2. I’ve been spending numerous time attending to know a few new trainers and specialists in health/well being. I plan to broaden our strategy to this layer and never lock in with 1 specific particular person alone. With this being stated. Discussions and plans are nonetheless happening. As quickly as we solidify some partnerships we’ll start growing coaching assets for Layer 2.
4. Alliance Program – Our alliance program in its present state will not be fulfilling our objectives for it. We need to do higher and we all know we will. We have now some very superior new alliance companion membership choices rolling out in 2022, together with a free plan. Our goal with this program is straightforward. We need to assist companies in our business develop whereas offering advantages to our members. We attempt to supply gear for our month-to-month rewards packages and prizes for giveaways and different contests from our allies as a lot as attainable. This helps us subsidize the price of freely giving a lot free gear. Together with that we require low cost codes from all of our companions and move these reductions over to you, our members. Over time we plan to have the most important checklist of reductions to tactical gear and preparedness companies on the planet. So many reductions that you might save sufficient cash with to subsidize your tribe membership itself. The modifications we’ve got deliberate to this system will give us the flexibility to flood our alliance program with new companies to companion with.
5. Vanguard Progress Techniques – Extra new curriculum might be added to this free course to assist these of you on our Vanguard Affiliate Program get higher outcomes.
6. The Primal Methodology E-book – We now have the capabilities to print Hardcovers. These might be launching very quickly on Amazon and I’m tremendous stoked about it. I hope to see all of you seize a hardcover. This gives you an incentive to move alongside your paperback to another person as a recruitment software.

There are various extra new issues and plans we’ve got that I can’t share simply but, however I hope this stuff get you guys excited. I do know I’m excited to return into grind mode very quickly and create all of these items for you all. We’re 10 years within the making and I nonetheless have a fireplace greater than the day we began. We have now no blueprint to comply with. We’re really the one enterprise of our form doing the issues we’re doing. There are some similarities, however none which are fairly like us. I take pleasure in understanding that we’re pioneering a brand new path and lifestyle for those that need to turn into ready. In case you’re a member of our tribe, I hope you’re taking pleasure in it too as a result of we aren’t conducting any of this stuff with out you all believing in them. So, thanks.
