TL;DR
I’m offering a limited number of one-on-one sessions. This will help you apply these historical principles directly to your life.
The price is expensive:
$97. USDC to seanallenfenn.eth
The duration is 30 mins.
Be aware that it’s first-come, first-served for only 3 spots.
Warning: this is one of the longest sales letters you will ever read.
Why?
First, because it includes a lot of “teaching”, typically viewed as a no-no in selling. But this letter includes a lot of my remarks from my weekly newsletter, Methods of Prosperity.
So, in reading this, you can gain a great deal of insight into what it means to be a Renegade Billionaire.
You may even gain some tips or strategies you’ll want to act on immediately. So reading this letter in and of itself could be profitable.
Second, because it is about a very, very important subject: how you will live the remainder of your life. In fact, late in this letter, I am going to get to the topic of “autonomy”. That is, the way you conduct business and live your life, independently, in control. Or else you are a slave, under the control of your master.
This IS a letter about MONEY. About making it differently. Quicker, easier, in bigger chunks than you’re used to. Even about attracting it, rather than pursuing it. About accumulating it more certainly, faster, to achieve real wealth, security and independence. But this letter is about a lot more than only money. Or about money within a bigger context. That is, what you trade. And most importantly, what you need NOT trade. Unless you want to make less money than you’re capable of.
Third, because at the end of this letter, I’m going to ask you to make an important and expensive decision. That’s why I’m giving you so much information now.
If you are a serious, high-agency person. Pay attention. Because I’m not going to waste my time on an unmotivated person.
If you do enjoy optimum success, prosperity, and independence, this is for you.
You will find this letter fascinating, provocative and enjoyable. I doubt you’ll mind its length at all.
We begin...
Andrew Carnegie invited a young man to his mansion. Carnegie was America’s first billionaire. The young, ambitious reporter, at the time contributed to a tiny, obscure magazine. In front of a flickering fire, this young man asked Carnegie about his “principles of success”. Impressed by the earnest young fellow, Carnegie offered him a shocking proposition:
“On your behalf, I will use my considerable influence to arrange opportunities for you, Mr. Hill, to personally spend time with over 500 of the greatest achievers of our time. These will include my fellow industrialists, inventors, entrepreneurs, merchants, as well as statesmen, artists, and others. You will have as much time as you desire to interview and observe them. Your mission will be to validate my belief that success is a matter of principles, of universal laws, which can be enumerated, taught learned and adhered to, then used as skills to deliver predictable results, just as man might learn the laws and skills to deliver predictable results, just as man might learn the laws and skills of making steel. You will accomplish this mission by identifying the beliefs and behaviors that all these great achievers share in common. No money or stipend shall be paid to you by me. You must find ways to support yourself while working on this project. Your goal will be the publication of some sort of ‘success encyclopedia’ enumerating the laws. Whatever the financial rewards arise from that are yours. You now have just 60 seconds to accept or reject my offer...”
And Carnegie opened his pocket watch, held it face up, and waited.
Napoleon Hill said yes, with a second to spare.
Twenty years later, the no-longer-young Napoleon Hill had his book published. He titled it, Think and Grow Rich. It summarized his interviews. As well as his investigations into the lives of over 500 men. All of whom were extraordinary achievers and leaders.
He did support himself through the 20 years. We worked as an outstanding direct-response copywriter. He was also a lecturer and salesman. He did this while completing the manuscript for the actual encyclopedia. Which he titled, Laws of Success. His book, Think and Grow Rich was the condensed version (more on that in a moment).
I relate this story to you based upon Hill’s own writings. Without showing Napoleon Hill’s work any disrespect, because I mean none, let me point to evidence. Rather, lack of any solid evidence that Napoleon Hill ever met Andrew Carnegie.
It turns out, Think and Grow Rich could have been the first info-product of the self-help industry. Hill’s Laws of Success was his 15-or-16-part correspondence course which followed.
At his death in 1970, estimates put his net worth around $1 million. That $1 million is equivalent to roughly $8–8.3 million in today's dollars, adjusted for inflation. He wasn’t a billionaire or even extremely rich by modern standards. He certainly did not die in poverty.
Unlike Napoleon Hill, I’m not making any claims. I started Methods of Prosperity newsletter because I’m no different from you. I decided to focus my attention on prosperity.
I started Methods of Prosperity mid-June 2023, as a newsletter to my personal email list.
Why? First, you have to understand a quirk about me. It took many years for me to realize my greatest flaw. That is, I didn’t know how money works. Until one day, I lost my job (for the first time in my adult life and not the last time).
Back then, I was a makeup artist working for cosmetics brands in department stores. It wasn’t difficult to get another job. That changed during the global financial crisis of 2008. I lost my job for the second time. This time, it wasn’t the same. I hit rock bottom.
After getting some help, I pulled myself together. I knew the kind of work I’d been doing all those years wasn’t going to get me where I wanted to go.
I noticed the other employees who were older than me at that time. They’re well into their 50s and a few in their 60s, still doing the same job:
selling hours for dollars to a brick-and-mortar retailer.
This terrified me. It would be my fate, too. There I was, working freelance at a major department store in New York City. Only a few months prior, my “secure” full time job was gone after 11 years, and I had nothing to show for it.
I lacked financial literacy. I was living paycheck-to-paycheck. This left me at a loss when it all fell apart.
You’ve heard someone say that we’re the average sum of the five people we hang around the most. Well, all my friends were broke. So it wasn’t smart to take their advice:
“If you’re broke and you want to make more money, you have to get a better job. The only way to get a high paying job is to get a college degree. The only way you can afford to get a degree is to get student loans... so you can hopefully get hired at a job that pays enough to pay off your student loan debt.”
I didn’t know what to do, but I had to do something. So I started asking my peers what they thought about my existential crisis. A few of them had college degrees and a steady job.
If they were lucky they would make a small commission from sales. But most of them were only getting paid by the hour, like me.
What’s the problem with that?
It’s impossible to scale for yourself. There’s only one of you, and only 24 hours in a day. You can’t work 24 hours every day. For fiat currency?
As an employee, your employer will never pay you what you’re worth. They can’t afford to.
The first rule of building real wealth is: stop trading time for money.
Of course, you can save and invest a percentage of your earnings. But my cost of living was too high. When I was making good money living in San Francisco, I didn’t save or invest any of it. Then later, living in New York City, ninety percent of my income went towards living expenses.
So I went back to school and racked up more debt. It wasn’t long before I realized a degree wasn’t going to solve my problem.
Needless to say, I hit a wall. What I thought would be the solution only led me right back to square one.
While a “job” would maintain the status quo, it wouldn’t get me out of debt.
And it wouldn’t get me closer to reaching my full potential.
Have you ever had the feeling that you’ve been getting the wrong information?
I had to make a decision. I could either keep surviving like my peers, or...
I could start thriving.
How? By reaching higher; learning from someone who is no longer broke, but broken free. I needed a mentor, but who?
I not only found one, but many. They weren’t difficult to access because they were in books. I started reading about money, wealth, and how to find financial freedom.
There are many perspectives.
But one thing was common: anyone who has gone from broke to breakthrough first made the decision to do it.
Money is a terrible master, but it's the best slave.
That’s why I’m giving you the opportunity of a one-on-one “Prosperity Strategy” session. For a fee of $97, I will provide a 30-minute consultation.
Together, we will apply one of the historical methods I’ve written about to your own situation.
Here are the details:
For over 2 years, I’ve been writing Methods of Prosperity newsletter. Starting with the invention of double-entry accounting and the Medici family bank.
We studied the rise of the merchant class before the invention of Capitalism by the Dutch.
From Cornelius Vanderbilt to John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, and the Rothschild family.
From Henry Ford to Bill Gates and the Pay Pal Mafia.
You might draw courage and inspiration from the fact that they are all flawed in one way or another.
I’m writing this before writing the next Methods of Prosperity newsletter number 143. If you packed all of these men and women that we’ve studied so far into one room? You’d be SHOCKED to discover how little they have in common. That’s why it’s so difficult to identify the few things that matter in any sort of accurate way. They look different, act different, talk different, are of vastly different ages, backgrounds... They have different religions, different interests.
The point is, while they have very little in common, the few commonalities they do share are of vital importance. My core findings are the unspoken truths of money in general. And I resist getting too abstract or metaphysical about it. Although, I do find invisible things to be at play such as luck.
I have uncovered profound and significant laws (in the metaphysical sense of the word). Let me warn you that I only believe in the Law of Attraction insomuch that it’s not magical. It has more to do with physiology, mindset, and taking action with a certain amount of faith.
But we can talk more about those granular things one-on one.
Which brings me to my SECOND CATEGORY of source material for my Renegade Billionaire System: me. My life.
To a huge degree, my Renegade Billionaire System is more about them than me. After all, there are more than 100 subjects I’ve written about so far, and only one of me. And you should know, I do my best not to comment on things I know nothing about. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger stay within their Circle of Competence, like me.
You might think it’s rather arrogant to place a high value on sharing one’s own life experiences. Although the people who know me best would assure you, I’m not in this for ego. I call my life “expensive experience”, because in many ways, it seems to me I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Much at a faster pace than most. Actually, at breakneck speed compared to most. I have found that a lot of people seem to get a lot of value from my experiences.
I have lived through:
My first career as a make-up artist. One company I worked for promoted me fast when I was only 22 or 23 years old. I had a great job that allowed me to support a wife and a cat in a beautiful, art deco apartment in San Francisco. Getting fired devastated me, but I kept on working for various brands until 2019.
So I wasn’t in tech during the dot com crash, and I didn’t own real estate during the subprime mortgage financial crisis. But I lost my job after the 2008 crash. A few years later, I went back to school. I mentioned this already.
Around 2018, I started my first business in NYC. It was a startup that produced “pop-up” fine art galleries in vacant commercial spaces. I had a falling out with my business partner and then ran out of money.
My ongoing sub-plot was as a musician and artist. I played in bands since I was around sixteen. I remember my girlfriend at the time not believing my band was as good as it was. This was before digital recordings and social media, so I lost that music in time. But music was all I cared about growing up.
My first solo album came out around 2004. Then I moved to NYC and started another band and released one more record before hitting rock bottom. I tried to start a record label, but didn’t understand business back then.
When the pandemic hit between 2019–2020, I pivoted to what became my company, SAFE New Media. I helped entrepreneurs adjust to the livestream way of life. The crazy part? I was homeless at the time. Thank God I had friends who cared.
Then in 2023, I started a holding company. We buy multifamily real estate.
That last part is crucial to capturing value. As a subscriber to Methods of Prosperity newsletter, you know how important it is to find a store of value. Especially if you get paid in fiat, you have to convert it into an asset.
The main thing I want you to know about all this is that I’ve held virtually nothing back about me or my experiences. In my Renegade Billionaire System, you get it all. Painful as well as pleasurable topics discussed. Brilliant strategies to employ, but also humiliating, stupid, grievous errors to avoid.
To answer your objections, no I am not a literal billionaire, or millionaire, or even an influencer. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m always learning.
If you can visualize, for a moment, all that has gone through my synthesizing process to get to this point. It’s amazing. You can have access to my 30 years of experience, everything gleaned from all the up close, in trenches work. Several years before I started Methods of Prosperity, I started seeking. Even before I read Think and Grow Rich, I read The Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki. That sent me down the rabbit hole of understanding money.
Well, now that you know the sources of the System, let’s get to the good part:
the promised result of applying the System to your business life:
Autonomy is doing...
What you want
When you want
Where you want
With whom you want
At the price you want
At the terms you want
...without guilt, insecurity or pain.
That is THE position you want to get into, as fast as possible.
If you agree with that statement, it means this is the position you aspire to. You want to get there now, not “someday”. If that’s you, you will love the Renegade Billionaire System. You’ll find it to be THE most important and beneficial information you have ever acquired, at any price. I promise you that.
Do you want to engineer a business life with employees or without? With contact with customers or no contact with customers? What DON’T you want to do? Never cold prospect? Never negotiate price? Never wear a necktie?
Do you want to work 3 day weeks? Take or return no calls evenings or weekends? Take the entire month of December off?
Do you want to live 6 months of the year in Hawaii, 6 months in Chicago? Alternate weeks between being in your office and on your boat?
On and on... you CAN change anything or everything you want to. You can force your business to support your preferred lifestyle.
I know, I know, you find that hard to believe. Or you may be willing to believe I can or others can, but think you can’t. Everybody thinks their situation is different. Which is why most people stay enslaved to their businesses instead of masters of it.
I want to tell you about my own Autonomy. I tell you this not to brag, but as demonstration. And while you may not want the same specifics I want, pay more attention to the big ideas.
First, it’s important to know: I started practicing a high level of Autonomy long before I could afford to do so. When people see how I live and do business now, they’re prone to grumble. “Easy for him, he discovered bitcoin in 2018. He cut all his unessential expenses. He’s into real estate. He works out every day...”
But they miss a vital point: you get the outcome of utopian Autonomy by practicing Autonomy. It’s both an outcome and a predicate.
For example, I mentioned that I was homeless in NYC in 2019. It wasn’t because I lost my job. I sacrificed it. When I first became a makeup artist, I was a different person. I was a goth soy-boy who wore make up. I’m not gay. I couldn’t do it anymore.
I made the radical decision to compress time. What I mean by that is, imagine where you want to be in 6 months. Cut it in half. Be there in 3 months. I knew I didn’t want to be working retail in cosmetics 6 months later. I couldn’t have made any more money as a makeup artist without starting my own brand, which I had no desire to do.
So I made a proposal to my boss, renegotiating my pay. Instead of getting paid by the hour, I proposed getting paid for results, on commission. The account executive refused to consider it, so I quit 3 months later to go all-in on my startup. In retrospect, that was stupid. My startup failed. I survived that, and got the hell out of New York in March 2020.
My point is, I took the risk because the reward was moving on with my career. I live pretty much as I choose. Anyone (realtor or dog groomer) can put themselves in the position they choose. As a result, I only work with people and endeavors that I enjoy working with and on. No exceptions.

That means with your mind, your will and emotions.
Get your behavior in sync with the Renegade Billionaires.
So you can enjoy the results of Renegade Billionaires.
How will you use the System?
That’s up to you. Start by securing your spot now. Either by using the embedded wallet or send $97 USDC to seanallenfenn.eth using the wallet you prefer. Send me an email or message via X or Telegram @seanallenfenn.
There are now two questions to tackle:
Question #1
Should you get my Renegade Billionaire System? I mean is it really important for you to do so? How can you tell? I actually have a MATHEMATICAL FORMULA to help you decide.
Question #2
How much should you pay to get it? Yes I’ve got a mathematical formula for that, too.
Let me show you an important number:
78.4
The average life expectancy in the United States is approximately 78.4 years as of 2023. This figure can vary based on factors such as age, sex, race, and geographic location.
With that number, let’s do some quick math. I’ll show you my math. Then you can do your math. My current number as of this writing is 52. So, 78.4 minus 52 leaves 26.4. I’ve got 26 years left, barring uncertainties. Let’s say you lose 20% to eating, sleeping, sitting on the toilet...
10% to doom scrolling, paying your bills, paying your taxes, standing in lines. That takes me down to 18.48 years I can decide what to do with.
Only 18.48 if I’m lucky.
Your number may be more. Or less.
Here’s the important question. The one that determines how important what I have to share with is. It’s about becoming a true Renegade Billionaire, so you have Autonomy.
How much of whatever your number is that you’ve got left, do you want to spend... doing things you don’t want to do?
Dealing with people who annoy you?
How much of that number do you want to spend satisfying other peoples’ expectations and demands?
Write YOUR number down and look at it. Hard.
Now, how quickly and radically do you want to change your business life? Or, how much longer do you want to continue “as is”?
The clock’s ticking. If you can hear the clock!
If you would like a lot more Autonomy, then I’ve laid out a compelling case for you. Becoming a Renegade Billionaire includes your path to gaining Autonomy.
Which gets us to Question #2:
Let’s do a bit more math.
First, judge me, based on whatever you know, and what you’ve read here. What if I spill my guts to you via this System? You apply at least some of it. How much AUTONOMY IMPROVEMENT do you think you can create in your business life?
Pick a percentage. 10%? 20%? 30%? 50%?
Be conservative. Don’t give me (or yourself) too much credit.
So, pick a percentage and write it down.
Now, go back to your other number: the number of years you might have left.
If, say, your number was my number: 18.48, and you thought we could get you only 20% more autonomy, you’d multiply 18.48 times 20%. You’d get a yield of 3.696 years of autonomy. That’s 1,349.5 days. That’s 32,399.13 hours of total and complete autonomy. You’d have 32,399.13 blissful hours doing only what you damned well please, where you choose, when you choose... with whom you choose, and if doing business, at whatever price you demand.
Now all you have to decide is this:
If you could buy such hours, sitting across the desk from the seller, what would you offer for each one?
If you’d give but one measly, stinking dollar:
The System is worth $32,399.13.
If you had it, and, of course, you’ll learn via my System exactly how infinite the supply of money available to you is... then you and I know, you’d pay more than a dollar. Would you pay $9.95 for each hour of total autonomy?
The price tag would be $322,371.34.
You know I’m not going to charge you that much. Even though there is at least 100-MILLION DOLLARS worth of wisdom synthesized here.
So, let’s get to the actual price.
For an hour consultation, most people charge between $2,000–$5,000.
I asked around and one entrepreneur friend suggested I charge $10,000. That’s overkill.
Several others suggested $3,995.00.
I’m not offering an hour. Only a half hour. Also, I’m not greedy.
My other concern is reputation. I’ve been hesitant to monetize because I want to enrich people by giving it all away for free. But I’m also aware that people tend not to value anything free (like music).
So, I’ve decided to give this to you for $97. And only to the first 3 people, on a first come, first serve basis. No money back guarantee, because once you have this knowledge, you can’t return it.
Start by securing your spot now. Either by using the embedded wallet or send $97 USDC to seanallenfenn.eth using the wallet you prefer. You can also pay here:

I had to make a decision. I could either keep surviving like my peers, or...
I could start thriving.
How? By reaching higher; learning from someone who is no longer broke, but broken free. I needed a mentor, but who?
I not only found one, but many. They weren’t difficult to access because they were in books. I started reading about money, wealth, and how to find financial freedom.
There are many perspectives.
But one thing was common: anyone who has gone from broke to breakthrough first made the decision to do it.
Money is a terrible master, but it's the best slave.
That’s why I’m giving you the opportunity of a one-on-one “Prosperity Strategy” session. For a fee of $97, I will provide a 30-minute consultation.
Together, we will apply one of the historical methods I’ve written about to your own situation.
Here are the details:
For over 2 years, I’ve been writing Methods of Prosperity newsletter. Starting with the invention of double-entry accounting and the Medici family bank.
We studied the rise of the merchant class before the invention of Capitalism by the Dutch.
From Cornelius Vanderbilt to John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, and the Rothschild family.
From Henry Ford to Bill Gates and the Pay Pal Mafia.
You might draw courage and inspiration from the fact that they are all flawed in one way or another.
I’m writing this before writing the next Methods of Prosperity newsletter number 143. If you packed all of these men and women that we’ve studied so far into one room? You’d be SHOCKED to discover how little they have in common. That’s why it’s so difficult to identify the few things that matter in any sort of accurate way. They look different, act different, talk different, are of vastly different ages, backgrounds... They have different religions, different interests.
The point is, while they have very little in common, the few commonalities they do share are of vital importance. My core findings are the unspoken truths of money in general. And I resist getting too abstract or metaphysical about it. Although, I do find invisible things to be at play such as luck.
I have uncovered profound and significant laws (in the metaphysical sense of the word). Let me warn you that I only believe in the Law of Attraction insomuch that it’s not magical. It has more to do with physiology, mindset, and taking action with a certain amount of faith.
But we can talk more about those granular things one-on one.
Which brings me to my SECOND CATEGORY of source material for my Renegade Billionaire System: me. My life.
To a huge degree, my Renegade Billionaire System is more about them than me. After all, there are more than 100 subjects I’ve written about so far, and only one of me. And you should know, I do my best not to comment on things I know nothing about. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger stay within their Circle of Competence, like me.
You might think it’s rather arrogant to place a high value on sharing one’s own life experiences. Although the people who know me best would assure you, I’m not in this for ego. I call my life “expensive experience”, because in many ways, it seems to me I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Much at a faster pace than most. Actually, at breakneck speed compared to most. I have found that a lot of people seem to get a lot of value from my experiences.
I have lived through:
My first career as a make-up artist. One company I worked for promoted me fast when I was only 22 or 23 years old. I had a great job that allowed me to support a wife and a cat in a beautiful, art deco apartment in San Francisco. Getting fired devastated me, but I kept on working for various brands until 2019.
So I wasn’t in tech during the dot com crash, and I didn’t own real estate during the subprime mortgage financial crisis. But I lost my job after the 2008 crash. A few years later, I went back to school. I mentioned this already.
Around 2018, I started my first business in NYC. It was a startup that produced “pop-up” fine art galleries in vacant commercial spaces. I had a falling out with my business partner and then ran out of money.
My ongoing sub-plot was as a musician and artist. I played in bands since I was around sixteen. I remember my girlfriend at the time not believing my band was as good as it was. This was before digital recordings and social media, so I lost that music in time. But music was all I cared about growing up.
My first solo album came out around 2004. Then I moved to NYC and started another band and released one more record before hitting rock bottom. I tried to start a record label, but didn’t understand business back then.
When the pandemic hit between 2019–2020, I pivoted to what became my company, SAFE New Media. I helped entrepreneurs adjust to the livestream way of life. The crazy part? I was homeless at the time. Thank God I had friends who cared.
Then in 2023, I started a holding company. We buy multifamily real estate.
That last part is crucial to capturing value. As a subscriber to Methods of Prosperity newsletter, you know how important it is to find a store of value. Especially if you get paid in fiat, you have to convert it into an asset.
The main thing I want you to know about all this is that I’ve held virtually nothing back about me or my experiences. In my Renegade Billionaire System, you get it all. Painful as well as pleasurable topics discussed. Brilliant strategies to employ, but also humiliating, stupid, grievous errors to avoid.
To answer your objections, no I am not a literal billionaire, or millionaire, or even an influencer. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m always learning.
If you can visualize, for a moment, all that has gone through my synthesizing process to get to this point. It’s amazing. You can have access to my 30 years of experience, everything gleaned from all the up close, in trenches work. Several years before I started Methods of Prosperity, I started seeking. Even before I read Think and Grow Rich, I read The Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki. That sent me down the rabbit hole of understanding money.
Well, now that you know the sources of the System, let’s get to the good part:
the promised result of applying the System to your business life:
Autonomy is doing...
What you want
When you want
Where you want
With whom you want
At the price you want
At the terms you want
...without guilt, insecurity or pain.
That is THE position you want to get into, as fast as possible.
If you agree with that statement, it means this is the position you aspire to. You want to get there now, not “someday”. If that’s you, you will love the Renegade Billionaire System. You’ll find it to be THE most important and beneficial information you have ever acquired, at any price. I promise you that.
Do you want to engineer a business life with employees or without? With contact with customers or no contact with customers? What DON’T you want to do? Never cold prospect? Never negotiate price? Never wear a necktie?
Do you want to work 3 day weeks? Take or return no calls evenings or weekends? Take the entire month of December off?
Do you want to live 6 months of the year in Hawaii, 6 months in Chicago? Alternate weeks between being in your office and on your boat?
On and on... you CAN change anything or everything you want to. You can force your business to support your preferred lifestyle.
I know, I know, you find that hard to believe. Or you may be willing to believe I can or others can, but think you can’t. Everybody thinks their situation is different. Which is why most people stay enslaved to their businesses instead of masters of it.
I want to tell you about my own Autonomy. I tell you this not to brag, but as demonstration. And while you may not want the same specifics I want, pay more attention to the big ideas.
First, it’s important to know: I started practicing a high level of Autonomy long before I could afford to do so. When people see how I live and do business now, they’re prone to grumble. “Easy for him, he discovered bitcoin in 2018. He cut all his unessential expenses. He’s into real estate. He works out every day...”
But they miss a vital point: you get the outcome of utopian Autonomy by practicing Autonomy. It’s both an outcome and a predicate.
For example, I mentioned that I was homeless in NYC in 2019. It wasn’t because I lost my job. I sacrificed it. When I first became a makeup artist, I was a different person. I was a goth soy-boy who wore make up. I’m not gay. I couldn’t do it anymore.
I made the radical decision to compress time. What I mean by that is, imagine where you want to be in 6 months. Cut it in half. Be there in 3 months. I knew I didn’t want to be working retail in cosmetics 6 months later. I couldn’t have made any more money as a makeup artist without starting my own brand, which I had no desire to do.
So I made a proposal to my boss, renegotiating my pay. Instead of getting paid by the hour, I proposed getting paid for results, on commission. The account executive refused to consider it, so I quit 3 months later to go all-in on my startup. In retrospect, that was stupid. My startup failed. I survived that, and got the hell out of New York in March 2020.
My point is, I took the risk because the reward was moving on with my career. I live pretty much as I choose. Anyone (realtor or dog groomer) can put themselves in the position they choose. As a result, I only work with people and endeavors that I enjoy working with and on. No exceptions.

There are now two questions to tackle:
Question #1
Should you get my Renegade Billionaire System? I mean is it really important for you to do so? How can you tell? I actually have a MATHEMATICAL FORMULA to help you decide.
Question #2
How much should you pay to get it? Yes I’ve got a mathematical formula for that, too.
Let me show you an important number:
78.4
The average life expectancy in the United States is approximately 78.4 years as of 2023. This figure can vary based on factors such as age, sex, race, and geographic location.
With that number, let’s do some quick math. I’ll show you my math. Then you can do your math. My current number as of this writing is 52. So, 78.4 minus 52 leaves 26.4. I’ve got 26 years left, barring uncertainties. Let’s say you lose 20% to eating, sleeping, sitting on the toilet...
10% to doom scrolling, paying your bills, paying your taxes, standing in lines. That takes me down to 18.48 years I can decide what to do with.
Only 18.48 if I’m lucky.
Your number may be more. Or less.
Here’s the important question. The one that determines how important what I have to share with is. It’s about becoming a true Renegade Billionaire, so you have Autonomy.
How much of whatever your number is that you’ve got left, do you want to spend... doing things you don’t want to do?
Dealing with people who annoy you?
How much of that number do you want to spend satisfying other peoples’ expectations and demands?
Write YOUR number down and look at it. Hard.
Now, how quickly and radically do you want to change your business life? Or, how much longer do you want to continue “as is”?
The clock’s ticking. If you can hear the clock!
If you would like a lot more Autonomy, then I’ve laid out a compelling case for you. Becoming a Renegade Billionaire includes your path to gaining Autonomy.
Which gets us to Question #2:
Let’s do a bit more math.
First, judge me, based on whatever you know, and what you’ve read here. What if I spill my guts to you via this System? You apply at least some of it. How much AUTONOMY IMPROVEMENT do you think you can create in your business life?
Pick a percentage. 10%? 20%? 30%? 50%?
Be conservative. Don’t give me (or yourself) too much credit.
So, pick a percentage and write it down.
Now, go back to your other number: the number of years you might have left.
If, say, your number was my number: 18.48, and you thought we could get you only 20% more autonomy, you’d multiply 18.48 times 20%. You’d get a yield of 3.696 years of autonomy. That’s 1,349.5 days. That’s 32,399.13 hours of total and complete autonomy. You’d have 32,399.13 blissful hours doing only what you damned well please, where you choose, when you choose... with whom you choose, and if doing business, at whatever price you demand.
Now all you have to decide is this:
If you could buy such hours, sitting across the desk from the seller, what would you offer for each one?
If you’d give but one measly, stinking dollar:
The System is worth $32,399.13.
If you had it, and, of course, you’ll learn via my System exactly how infinite the supply of money available to you is... then you and I know, you’d pay more than a dollar. Would you pay $9.95 for each hour of total autonomy?
The price tag would be $322,371.34.
You know I’m not going to charge you that much. Even though there is at least 100-MILLION DOLLARS worth of wisdom synthesized here.
So, let’s get to the actual price.
For an hour consultation, most people charge between $2,000–$5,000.
I asked around and one entrepreneur friend suggested I charge $10,000. That’s overkill.
Several others suggested $3,995.00.
I’m not offering an hour. Only a half hour. Also, I’m not greedy.
My other concern is reputation. I’ve been hesitant to monetize because I want to enrich people by giving it all away for free. But I’m also aware that people tend not to value anything free (like music).
So, I’ve decided to give this to you for $97. And only to the first 3 people, on a first come, first serve basis. No money back guarantee, because once you have this knowledge, you can’t return it.
Start by securing your spot now. Either by using the embedded wallet or send $97 USDC to seanallenfenn.eth using the wallet you prefer. You can also pay here:
