Or you don't pay.
A 30-day install for owners who built a business that runs them. The first 50 founders get direct access to me, lifetime price lock, and the right to shape the program. After seat 50, this is gone.
50 seats ever at this price. $500 today. Future buyers pay multiples. Refund if we miss.
You were at the desk before 7. You'll still be at it after 8 tonight. Your phone has buzzed twice while you were reading the last sentence and you already checked it.
The people in your life have stopped expecting much. The vacation you planned didn't happen. The one before that, you took your laptop on.
You can name every fire in the business right now. The personnel issue. The unpaid invoice. The customer who's threatening to leave. The vendor call you've rescheduled twice.
You probably can't name a single thing you did this week that built the business instead of running it.
This isn't a productivity problem. You're the bottleneck. Every decision waits for you. Every fire goes through your phone. The only person who could prevent next week from looking like this week is too tired to do it on Sunday.
Five years from now, if nothing changes, you'll be five years older doing the same work. The business will be bigger. The chaos will be bigger. The cost of fixing this will be higher every quarter you wait.
You've bought books. You've downloaded apps. You may have hired a coach you couldn't quite tell apart from the other coaches. Some of it helped a little. Most of it sat unused.
Here's the pattern. You spend money to learn what you already knew. You implement a fraction of it. The rest dies on the vine because you don't have time to run a self-improvement project on top of running a business.
This isn't a course. It isn't a content library. It isn't a community. It's me, working with you for 30 days to remove the three or four things in your week that are stealing your time. You don't learn. You don't study. You install.
If we hit the metric, you continue. If we miss, your money goes back.
Every consultant since 2010 has been selling you the same thing. Add a tool. Add a system. Add a hire. Add a framework. Add, add, add.
We do the opposite. We map where your time goes today. We define where you want it to go. We remove what's in the middle. The desired outcome doesn't happen because you tried harder. It happens because the friction is gone.
The Midpoint Method.It works for the same reason a clogged pipe runs free once you remove the clog. You don't need a bigger pipe.
If we hit 10 hours back per week, that's 520 hours a year of your time recovered. At your effective rate, that's $22,360 of your time back in year one.
The program is $500 today and $2,500 on day 31 if we hit the guarantee. $3,000 total. The $3,000 founders price will only ever exist for these 50 founders. Every buyer after pays the real price, which reflects what the program is actually worth: multiples of $3,000. Founders never pay that price.
That is a 37x return on $3,000.
The program pays for itself in 7 weeks. The remaining 257 weeks are pure recovered life.
14-day full refund. Day-31 guarantee.
A 7-section diagnostic of your actual week, delivered as a designed PDF. Shows where your hours are going, what they cost you per year, which ones drain you, which ones pay you, and which three changes will buy back the most time fastest. Yours to keep regardless of what happens after.
The inbox stops being the front door of your business. We install filters, response macros, and inbox windows so you check email on a schedule and the world keeps turning.
Projected time back: 6 to 9 hours per week.
Your calendar stops belonging to whoever asks. Priority blocks, gatekeeper rules, default declines. You decide who gets time. You decide what gets a yes.
Projected time back: 4 to 7 hours per week.
The end of context switching. Two protected focus blocks every day. A communication batching pattern that ends the all-day inbox check.
Projected time back: 3 to 6 hours per week.
You won't get all of it back at once. You'll get one back, then two, then four. By day 30, your week will look measurably different than it does today. The Leverage Map measures it so neither of us has to argue about it.
Thursdays at 2pm Eastern. 90 minutes. Live group call. Bring questions, stuck points, and wins. We work through them together.
If you can't make the live call, the recording is in your portal by 6pm Eastern the same day.
Outside the call, the work is light. Three short voice memos a day for week 1, then about 30 minutes per week for the install. No homework. No 40-page workbooks. About 3 hours of your time per week to get back 10.
I'm John Reay.
Since 1997 I've built and run real businesses. I started a software company in Champaign-Urbana whose first client was the Army Corps of Engineers. I built and sold a just-in-time video editing turnkey company for 10x. I spent a decade running ops for fire and life safety operations from privately owned shops to Fortune 50 facilities. And for 20 years I ran a real estate sales venture that finished in the top 8% of the country every year.
What I learned from running all of that is the same thing I see in every owner I work with now. Founders are brilliant at where they are and where they want to go. Almost no one is good at what sits in the middle. The randomness, the scattered thoughts, the half-built systems, the things you keep meaning to organize and never do. That's what drowns the owner and waters down what your clients actually receive.
I built Win Back Your Week to solve the middle. Not from theory. From having stood in your shoes for the last 28 years, on the receiving end and the delivering end of the inefficiency you feel right now. This program is the shortcut. The 20 years of pattern-matching and the last three years of building it into something repeatable. You don't have to figure it out alone. You get to stand on what I already paid for.
I've been the bottleneck owner. I've been the guy who couldn't take a vacation, missed the events that mattered, and woke up at 3am with a list of fires to put out. I built the way out for myself first. This is what I built.
I'm running the Founders Group myself. Every Thursday call. Every Leverage Map review. Every install conversation for the first 50. After that, the program scales and other people take over delivery.
If you want to know what I sound like before you spend a dollar, my YouTube channel is @JohnReayOfficial. Watch a video. If the voice on the page doesn't match the voice on the video, don't buy.
10 hours of your week back in 30 days, measured against the baseline we capture in week 1.
If we hit it, you continue into the 12-month program at $2,500 charged on day 31.
If we miss it, no day-31 charge and your $500 is refunded.
That's not fine print. That's the promise both ways. I commit to delivering. You commit to participating. If either side breaks the deal, the deal is off.
If you don't trust the guarantee yet, trust the refund. It's processed by Stripe in the same five clicks that took your payment. Five business days, no friction, no email tag.
I have been building Win Back Your Week for over three years. The Midpoint Method, the Leverage Map, the install sequence, the measurement system, the rhythm of the weekly calls. All of it. Refined, tested, rebuilt, refined again. Most of it on my own time, on my own dime, with no buyer in front of me.
It's done. The program works. I've used pieces of it on owners I know personally and the outcomes have been consistent. What I haven't done yet is run the full 30-day install with a paid group of strangers. That's what the Founders Group is.
The first 50 owners through the door are not customers in the normal sense. You are the first paid group. The price is $500 today and $2,500 on day 31 because I am trading price for two things: outcomes I can point to, and your candid feedback on every part of the program. What you get for going first cannot be bought once the Founders Group fills.
Only 50 people will ever be founders of Win Back Your Week. After the 50th seat is claimed, the founders door closes permanently. Every buyer after pays the real price for less of what you'd get today: no founder access, no input on the program, no lifetime price lock, no founder recognition.
The $500 is not a discount. It's a trade.
You get something only 50 people in the world will ever have. I get the proof I need to scale the program at the price it should actually be.
Only 50 founders. Lifetime price lock. Refund if we miss.
That's week 1. The rest of the 30 days follows the same rhythm. Light commitment. Heavy outcome.
You own a business. It produces enough to pay you $100,000 a year, or it has the capacity to. It clears at least $50,000 in profit. You work in it full-time. You're done being the bottleneck.
Industry doesn't matter. Service, product, professional services, trades, agencies. The 10-hours problem doesn't care what you sell.
You run this on the side. You won't share your calendar. You want done-for-you while you stay the same. You think the problem is everyone else.
If any of that sounds like you, this isn't the right room. I mean that with respect. I've tried to help people who weren't ready and it doesn't work for them or for me.
It probably is different. They all are. The 10-hours problem isn't a business problem, it's an owner problem. The blockers we remove (inbox chaos, calendar drift, context switching) live in your week, not your industry.
Because I wasn't ready to charge for it until I was sure it works. I built it for myself first. I tested pieces of it with owners I know. I refined it. I rebuilt it. I rebuilt it again. I would rather take 3 years and ship something that holds up than ship something fast that breaks the first time it meets a real client.
The Founders Group is the proof. If it works for the first 50 the way it's worked everywhere else, the program scales at a price that reflects what it's actually worth.
Tell me within 48 hours. We pause your 30 days and your seat is held until you're ready to restart. The guarantee window resets when you do.
Recording is in your portal by 6pm Eastern the same day. Submit questions in advance. Guarantee still applies as long as you watch the recordings and complete the installs.
No. AI runs in the back end to process your week 1 voice memos into your Leverage Map faster than I could by hand. That's invisible to you. You don't need to use any AI tool, learn any new software, or change your stack.
The $2,500 is paid in full on day 31, after the guarantee resolves. No payment plans. If $2,500 in one payment is wrong for you right now, this probably isn't the right program right now.
Not for the Founders Group. The structure is intentional. If you need a call to make a $500 decision with a refund attached, the page hasn't earned your trust and you should pass.
I'll show you in month 11. There's a different format for owners past the bottleneck and into the growth phase. No auto-renewal. You decide what's next.
In the first 14 days, change your mind for any reason and your $500 is refunded in full, processed in 5 business days. After day 14, the refund is tied to the day-31 guarantee outcome. No fine print, no email tag, no "we'll get back to you."
Whatever you bought today (the 30-day program plus the 12-month continuation if we hit the metric) is locked at the price you paid forever. If we launch a 24-month version, a higher-touch tier, or a renewal, founders get the founders rate on what was promised today. You are never repriced on what you bought as a founder. Future products at new prices are separate decisions.
Spend them the way you spent the last 30, or get 10 hours back.
$500 today. Refund if we miss. First Thursday call kicks off your week. Only 50 founders will ever exist.
50 seats ever. Founders pricing locked for life.
I built this because I needed it once. I'm running the Founders Group myself because the work is personal and I want to be the one doing it for the first 50.
Three years is a long time to work on something with no customer in front of you. The reason I did it that way is the reason this works. By the time I asked anyone to pay for it, I knew it was finished.
If you join, my job for the next 30 days is your week. You'll have my email, my calendar for the call, and an inbox that gets answered.
If you don't join, I hope you do something. The cost of standing still doesn't feel like a cost until you measure it. By the time you do, the bill is bigger than you thought.
If you have a question the page didn't answer, write to me. I read every email.
