Weekday Q&A; response times described in members' post
05 / How it works
Join. Get a plan. Execute it.
Step one01
Onboarding session.
An onboarding call with me, one to one. We work out the fastest way I can help you: an introduction, a referral, coaching, or a job that has not been posted anywhere.
Step two02
Get a plan.
You read the book and run the ten prompts. By the end you have an AI Wealth Agent that knows your salary, your country, your ceiling and what you are aiming at.
Step three03
Execute it.
A second call with me, where we turn all of that into a concrete ninety-day plan. Then you work it, share progress in the room, and we adjust as you go.
06 / What we work on together
A better career.
A bigger life.
01
Earn more.
Sharpen your sales skills, negotiate better, understand your market value and open doors through relationships.
02
Keep more.
Know your numbers, understand your pay, and make financial decisions that survive real life.
03
Invest smarter.
Learn sound long-term principles and build a repeatable plan. Education, never promises of returns.
07 / Our guest experts
Learn from people who do the work.
Live sessions with operators who do this for a living. Every one is recorded, so a busy week never costs you the session.

Daniel Eisenberg
Commissions
Former leader at Deel, on what separates a good year from a six-figure commission year.
“What a six-figure commission actually requires”
Each of them teaches their own subject. None of them advises on investing, and none has endorsed what I do with my money. That part is mine.
08 / Build the habit
Small daily moves.
Big long-term results.
A short, specific action each day, and somewhere to say you did it. Prizes are a planned extra, not the reason to join.

The story behind the room
Build freedom through the career you already have.
Nikita Balanov started earning around €700 a month and spent 15 years in sales. He reports received the GOAT award out of 250+ AEs globally at Deel and built a seven-figure investment portfolio over his sales career.
The lesson isn’t that everyone repeats his outcome. It’s that an ambitious career, a plan you actually follow, and showing up consistently, can turn into a wealth-building machine.

The details
Questions, answered.
Clarity before you pay matters.
Who is the community for?
Primarily ambitious European SaaS Account Executives and SDRs, and other salaried professionals looking to turn career earnings into financial options.
What happens after I join?
An immediate email containing the book, the prompts and community access. You can then build your 90-day plan and join member conversations.
Is the retreat included in my membership?
No standard retreat or conference ticket is represented as included. In-person experiences are separate, subject to their own availability and pricing. A free retreat place is currently only a proposed challenge grand prize.
Does this guarantee I will earn more or build wealth?
No. Individual outcomes depend on circumstances and actions. Founder experience, peer feedback, and goal-setting research do not guarantee member financial outcomes.
Are expert speakers endorsing Nikita’s investments?
No. Speakers discuss their professional areas of expertise. They have not thereby endorsed personal investment strategies or results.
Can I cancel?
The published monthly membership terms say you can cancel anytime, with a seven-day refund guarantee. Confirm the current terms on the checkout and linked policy pages.
Is this investment advice?
No. The educational material is not personalized financial, tax or legal advice. Consult qualified professionals in your jurisdiction.
You don't have to build your future alone.
The career is yours. The journey can be shared.
