Gobundance and their M1 program
Investor · Scottsdale, AZ · Member since 2016 · 32 posts · 19 votes
I learned about Gobundance through a couple of the podcasts on BP. They also have a program for individuals with < 1 mil net worth called M1 or march to a million. I am considering joining at 300/ month.
Here is why I want to join:
Has anyone had experience with this group. It is a substantial investment, I would appreciate any feedback or advice.
Yes, I am a member of the Gobundance group. It has dramatically accelerated my businesses, is a great group of guys, and is a lot of fun. It is a Mastermind, NOT a guru group. There is no course you sign up for, sit through, and then leave to forget about. There are members from all walks of life. It's about successful, like minded individuals getting together either physically or virtually, pooling talents and resources, and pushing each other to be the best each person can be.
The M1 program was created because so many people asked for it - they wanted to be in Gobundance but didn't meet the requirements. Thus, a program was created for those people who have all the traits and drive to become successful but just don't have the financial numbers yet.
I'd be happy to answer any specific questions.
Also, while I am a member, I do not receive any income from it, so I am willing to share simply because I know how much it has helped me and others I know who have joined.
Best Regards,
Andrew
@Richard Sherman, Gobundance or M1? A while ago I remember hearing that Gobundance wasn't taking new members as they reached 150. There was a recent surge in membership and I think they are just slowing things down a bit. (growing pains) But they do have a winter trip in Breckenridge Colorado. You can go to their Facebook page and apply to join them for the mastermind group, without being an actual member. I'd love to go, but life is having its way with me. (haha, which is one of the reasons I really should be there)
Anyway, give that try.
@John Clark Gobundance. Not the M1 program. Interesting and thank you for the info. Maybe that is what is going on, though there was nothing on the site or the application process that said anything about not taking members, so not sure. Oh well. Maybe I will hear back maybe not.
I have a friend who owns a title company and is part of Go Bundance, AWESOME events, speakers, seems like a great group to be a part of. My net worth isn't $1,000,000 YET, but, you can bet your a-- it WILL BE!!!
@Richard Sherman I have noticed the mentions of GoBundance lately as well. I think the guys are great and put out an aweseome show, but I also feel like sometimes they get enamored with certain guests and these GoBundance guys may be some of that. The show with Tim Ferriss was MOST CERTAINLY a case of them being enamored with a guy that has absolutely nothing and absolutely no knowledge in real estate.
I came across this thread after searching for info on GoBundance. M1 sounds interesting as well. Are htese groups regionally based? It seems like i have heard of them being regionally based for ease of meet ups and such.Technically I qualify for GoBundance, barely, but I think this M1 may be more my speed then if I enjoy it I would try the full on GoBundance group. Thanks for everyone's input!
Anyone have M1 experience and willing to share?
@Scott Hensley I was just scrolling through to see the exact same thing. I’m thinking I’ll join this weekend, and go to The Montreal event. Just cur
Interested to see any updates from anyone that is still in M1/GoBundance. I would like to know more, but would also like to hear from someone that has been in the program about a year and see what it has done for your business/personal life. Not a, "oh its great, people are great, events are great" bland statement, but actual numbers, business connections, new ventures, etc in a before/after format. I'm in a smaller rural area and would love to mastermind with like minded people as well as those that are more advanced in their thought process and in their journey. Thanks for any updates!
I am planning to join tomorrow after I have a few more questions answered. I will keep you posted. @Jamie Garcia
Sooooo, did you join? Are you still a member? Give some takeaways? I am just about done with the brand new GoBundance entry level Mastermind Class called Emerge and am cnsidering whether doing the next level up, Ascend, or M1 should be my next step?
Thanks!
Hey all,
I've come back to this thread several times the past few years, and like Melody, I'm just finishing GoBundance's Emerge program. Jamie Gruber, who was the guest on episode 436 of the BP Real Estate podcast, started the Emerge and Ascend program and has done a few iterations since launching in NOV of 2020, I believe. I was in the second group that started this past January and I am just now finishing the last week of the 12-week program. I want to say I paid around $800 and I recommend the program.
Emerge is all about learning the concepts of the GoBundance tribe and working on a goal for 12 weeks. While working towards your goal, you have homework assignments each week and meet with accountability partners, then groups, as the program develops and you progress. I can say that I personally benefited from the program, with the biggest success being that I increased my horizontal income by 300% (I started at $8000, so it's not nothing, but not a millionaire by any means yet either). Others had goals like putting in offers and purchasing properties, many of whom achieved that. My accountability partner lost 30 pounds during the 12 weeks.
It's a good way to find other people that are looking for growth and achieving more in life. Towards the end of the program, we were place in accountability groups, which were like mini-masterminds. I met a lot of great people within my cohort of around 40 and it was also a great opportunity to get exposure to people in the GoBundance tribe. If I get an invite for Ascend, I'll probably do that and if so will give an update on that down the road.
Following this,
WIll pass the 1M net worth this year, anyone else can share what other requirements there are?
Their experience with GoBundance?
I too looked into Gobundance once I had heard of this during one of of the prior podcasts @Brandon Turner. I am not sure what to really make of it. It has been my experience that with the right mindset and drive, anyone can acquire a network of contacts that could serve as a mastermind group.
I think that the draw here is that you can "skip the time element" required to obtain these contacts/network. That sounds great on paper, but in my experience, not all people whom you meet in a network will really add value. Likewise, when you grow your network organically, you have the opportunity to vet who is looking to truly add value, and those whom you politely thank and never work with again.
With Gobundance, it appears that the model forms these breakout groups of to form think tanks. That's fine, but is it worth $10K a year? Also, does Net Worth = Valuable Knowledge? If this is the mindset, then someone could be placed in a think tank with Paris Hilton.......
I also found it very odd that there was a lack of information regarding the cost of membership on its webpage. That never sits well with me. I had seen somewhere else that the price tag is $10K yearly. Another previous post stated that there were 150 members in the 1M club. This would mean that this organization makes $1.5MM yearly just on those memberships alone. I doubt that it costs $1.5MM to maintain/produce content for such a group. So someone is making money. That raised the MLM flag for me.

If they weren't making money on it, I would be worried.
I have been extended an invite but have not joined yet - only hesitant about my ability to fully maximize the opportunity based on how busy I am with work.
Anyone else have feedback on it? I would say the only thing surprising to me is the lack of reviews/feedbacks that exist for GoBundance in the real world.
@AJ Anderson P.T. Barnum made a lot of money too....
Appreciate all of the information already shared.
Has anyone had experience with the EMERGE program from GoBundance?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Brad and others, I'm interested in finding 2-6 other guys to form a mastermind with (1M+, similar to GoBundance), focused on all aspects of life, business and money included (US based, Virtual: Google Hangouts, Zoom, or FaceTime, etc). Your primary interest does not have to be real estate (though I expect multiple people in the mastermind will have real estate as a focus considering we're finding each other on BiggerPockets).
I was inspired by the GoBundance group, however I'm holding off on GoBundance after finding they have a $10,000 per year fee to join. It sounds like a phenomenal organization that could be a good option for the future, however at this time I didn't feel it was the right thing for me. Instead, I'm reaching out to this community to see if anyone is interested.
If you're looking for a mastermind / accountability / friend group like this, then I'm glad we've found each other. Please message me!

@Daniel Murphy Daniel, this sort of input is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for sharing this!
@Tim Greenfield Tim I'm highly considering signing up for Emerge this weekend. Did you end up joining?
I reached out to them and was told the price will be increased to 1700 ish. Can anyone who joined Emerge recently share some insights? thanks!

Hey Ashley- I joined Emerge about 4 weeks ago. I can honestly tell you it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've found a ton of incredible connections and filled my phone book with people who are genuinely willing to help. Being surrounded by people who are passionate about life, their business, and helping others is both refreshing and inspiring. Happy to help answer more questions if you have them. ZW

Congratulations! Tell you what- shoot me a DM. We can hop on a call this week. Would be happy to share what I've learned and make a few connections for you! ZW
@Zach Woods- So sorry for the late response. Yes I did join. It has been well worth it and I am moving onto Emerge next month. I answered you in Emerge as well. Have a great week!

I have watched this thread for a while. I hear about gobundance from one of the biggerpockets podcasts. It is a new year and I am considering joining a mastermind group like this. Before jumping in, I would love to hear more about people's experiences (good and bad) after they have been in the program for a while. Did you keep momentum or did the progress fizzle out? How do you go about being matched with a group of people that you gel with?
Please let me know if you are willing to share your experience.
Thanks!
