Have questions? Here are some answers.
-
Most of the pre-recorded bonuses and presentations are already available to dive into right away.
Any bonuses listed on this page that are not yet available will definitely be available by the first day of the festival (most before then)!
As soon as you purchase, you’ll get instant access to your course login where you’ll find coupon codes for each of the individual speaker bonuses.
You’ll have until October 30th to use the coupon codes to claim the bonuses you want!
All material related to presentations (videos, notes, etcetera) will be added to your course portal on Thursday September 26th at 7am Pacific Time (and live workshops recordings will be added after they happen). -
For each of the bonuses, you’ll get a link and coupon code to use on the speaker’s website. This will allow them to send you the info you’ll need for accessing and making the most out of their contribution.
After logging in to the All Access Pass, you’ll need to take a few minutes to go through and claim each of the bonuses you want - totally worth it for the $800+ worth of resources!
Be sure to claim all the bonuses you want by October 30th. After that, the coupon codes may expire, and we are not able to give extensions. -
You'll get access for as long as I continue to do business online, which means, definitely longer than a year!
With regards to the bonuses - I recommend once you sign up you access and use the ones you want right away. I can't confirm length of access for 20+ individuals, or how long they'll keep their bonuses online (businesses and focus change, etc.)
