The alumni membership that keeps you accountable to achieving your goals and transitioning away from doing everything yourself. Quarterly plans, regular prompts and answers when you need them.
The work you completed in the program moved you closer to being the person the business runs by, rather than runs on. You don't have to hold that position on your own, under pressure where the risk of you or others reverting to what's comfortable is high.
Having regular opportunities to pause, reflect, review and reframe helps you stay on track. Ask questions, stay on top of market and technological changes and get 1:1 help if needed.
The CEO Circle is open to alumni of any 25eight program. Whether you managed to complete all of your build or whether you still need support, this is for motivated owners who want to succeed.
It runs quarter to quarter, in rhythms that help you get the work done: work them, review them and then set the next 90 days.
Capability builds through continuous practice and feedback. And the science on momentum says stopping costs more than it feels like it does:
The Circle exists so the rhythm you built keeps running. Momentum is a system too.
The CEO Circle is built on accountability rather than just content. Like having access to your own board of directors, all dedicated to helping you create a successful and sustainable business.
A 90-day plan prompt asks whether the last ninety days went where you meant them to, then walks you through setting the next ones. At Builder and Leader this becomes a 1:1 working session with Sam: an end-of-quarter strategic review and goal-setting workshop, 60 minutes at Builder and 150 at Leader.
Leadership and operating rhythm prompts keep the system you built in use, and email accountability follows up on the goals you set. At Builder and Leader you are also in a monthly group 60-minute live session with Sam, working on the business rather than in it.
Ask a question and get an answer. Every level keeps the education library and your artefacts live. Builder adds a group chat channel to Sam; Leader adds a private DM channel and three 1:1s each quarter, booked anytime.
Most of what membership does day to day is remove the cost of being unsure. The platform holds your goals, artefacts and the education library, so the answer you half remember from the program is findable when you need it. And a growing body of questions and answers across the six domains of your business keeps you up to date with the latest in everything that will impact it, from your market to your technology.
New capabilities are released through the year, six per quarter at Builder and the full library at Leader, so the system you built keeps growing with the business. And when a question needs a person, every level can book 1:1s with Sam at the member rate and carries member pricing on webinars and events; at Leader, three 1:1s a quarter and event access are included.
Choose your level of support dependent on your budget or how fast you want to achieve your goals. Prices are displayed monthly and billed quarterly, plus GST, with a minimum term of one quarter. You can cancel at any time or move between levels each quarter dependent on what's happening in your business right now and how much support you want to navigate your growth.
Keep the plan in front of you and the rhythm ticking.

Just finished your program? Retake the Snapshot and your results will suggest a level based on where the business is. The choice stays yours.
Alumni of any 25eight program, whichever way you did it. The CEO Circle picks up where the program leaves off, so the work assumes you have your artefacts and your plan.
Prices are displayed monthly and billed quarterly, plus GST, with a minimum term of one quarter. Paying a year upfront gets you twelve months for the price of eleven.
Yes, each quarter. Start where the next ninety days actually need you to be and adjust as the business changes. There is no lock-in beyond the current quarter.
Starter runs on prompts and reflections, minutes rather than hours. Builder adds a group 60-minute live session each month and a 60-minute 1:1 strategic review each quarter. Leader runs a 150-minute review and adds three 1:1s with Sam each quarter, booked anytime.
No, it's never too late. Your work is saved, unless you requested otherwise, and will be accessible on signup, so you can bring it back to life or focus on refining it.
There is a community and every level includes access to it. The core of the CEO Circle is the rhythm: prompts, plans, reviews and answers when you need them. The community is one of the places answers come from.
