Most teens don’t stall for lack of ideas. It’s the one gap nobody named for them.
A six-month program that takes your teen from “I have an idea” to a small, real venture with paying customers, and the judgment and follow-through to run it. You buy the structure. Your teen does the work.
The teen Diagnostic, Roadmap, and a 1-on-1 with Jay come with every enrollment as the onboarding step, before the biweekly masterminds begin.

Full of ideas at dinner. And nothing ships.
You know the teen I mean. Full of ideas at dinner. Smart enough to explain three business models before dessert. And nothing ships.
It is not a talent problem. It is that no one ever walked them from idea to a real customer, through the part where it gets boring, the first version flops, and the instinct is to abandon it and start something new. I ran that exact play for about twenty years myself: every time I hit a ceiling, my answer was the same one word, build something else. Nobody named it for me until it had cost me a decade.
Your teen has more information than any generation in history and it will not be enough, because the thing that turns an idea into a business is not information. It is judgment and follow-through, built by shipping something real while someone experienced is watching.
Idea to a real venture, step by step.
Here is the shape of the six months. Your teen moves through it on the roadmap, with the masterminds and my coaching keeping the pace.
- 01Idea to something worth building.Your teen stops collecting ideas and picks one, then pressure-tests whether anyone actually wants it, before pouring months into it.
- 02Validated with real people.They put it in front of real potential customers and learn to hear the answer, including the no. This is where most teens either quit or grow up a little.
- 03First real customers.Not a hypothetical. A first paying customer, or the closest real version of it, the moment money changes hands and it stops being a school project.
- 04A small, real venture, plus the judgment to run it.By the end, your teen has a small real thing they built, and more importantly the operating system to build the next one: how to decide, how to follow through when it is boring, how to handle it when it does not work.
The venture matters. The judgment matters more. One is a project; the other is the thing they carry into every decision after this.
I’ll keep this anonymized until there’s a signed release, but it’s real. A 15-year-old in our community didn’t wait to be told. He pulled peers together to run the Cashflow game, built an app with friends, and got hired as a paid consultant, as a teenager. Nobody handed him that. He had the one thing most capable teens are missing: he shipped. That is what this program is built to draw out.Jay Bhakta
I spent 20 years building businesses and was financially illiterate for most of my career. I learned this the hard way at 38. I’m a father of two, and I built the program I wish someone had run for my own kids.Jay Bhakta
You buy it. Your teen does the work.
That split is the whole point.
It starts the day you enroll. There is no cohort date to wait for and no waitlist. Enrollment is rolling and individual. You join when you decide, and your teen starts their onboarding right away.
First, the onboarding, before any group call. You set up your teen’s private link. Your teen completes their Teen Diagnostic and Roadmap: a full interview and a System Map built for them, not a generic worksheet. Out of that comes a roadmap they can actually see themselves in. Then your teen books a 1-on-1 call with me to walk through it and set the first moves. The onboarding comes with every enrollment: the diagnostic, the roadmap, and the 1-on-1.
Then the six months of real work. Your teen works the roadmap step by step. Every two weeks we meet on a live group mastermind call, a small room of teens doing the same work, where they report what they tried, get coached on what is stuck, and see other kids their age moving. I coach on those calls directly. The roadmap gives the structure; the biweekly rhythm keeps it from becoming one more thing that fades after week three.
What a typical month looks like: two live group masterminds, roadmap steps worked in between, and my coaching on the calls and inside the program. Your teen brings a real problem to the call: an idea that stalled, a decision they are stuck on, a number they do not understand. They leave with the next concrete move. Additional 1-on-1 time beyond the onboarding call is case by case, when a teen genuinely needs it.
This is a six-month build, not a webinar you watch once. The teens who get the most out of it are the ones who show up to the calls and do the steps between them.
Everything that makes it a real build.
- ✓The structured roadmap your teen works through over the six months, the spine of the program.
- ✓The onboarding Teen Diagnostic and Roadmap, a System Map built for your teen, completed first, so the work starts from who they actually are.
- ✓The onboarding 1-on-1 call with me to walk the roadmap and set the first moves.
- ✓Biweekly live group mastermind calls for the full six months, a small room, real reporting, direct coaching.
- ✓My coaching on the calls and inside the program as your teen works.
- ✓A teen-approved parent summary, you see what your teen chose to share, on their terms.
- ✓The $97 credit, if you already bought the matching $97 kit, that $97 comes off this.
Who this is for, and who it isn’t.
- →You have a capable teen, roughly 13 to 18, who is bright on paper and stalled in practice.
- →You would rather your teen build judgment now, with a coach and a room, than learn it the hard way at 38 the way I did.
- →You are ready to buy the structure and let your teen own the work, not do it for them.
- →You want a real six-month build, not a one-time class your teen forgets by spring.
- ×You want a done-for-you result where your teen stays on the sidelines. The teen does the work. If they will not show up, this is not the fit.
- ×You are looking for a quick weekend fix. This is six months on purpose.
- ×You want stock tips, guaranteed returns, or a shortcut. That is not what this is, and I would rather tell you now.
- ×Your teen is in genuine crisis and needs clinical help. This is a money-and-momentum program, not therapy or treatment. Get them the right support first.
Buy the structure. Then get out of the way.
Your job is to buy the structure and then get out of the way enough for your teen to own it. Set up the link. Protect the time for the calls. Ask how it is going without taking over. The work is theirs.
Here is how the private part works, and it does not change:
Your teen sees the result first. Nothing personal is sent to you unless they approve it. You don’t receive raw answers or hidden items. You receive a teen-approved summary of what matters to them, what they’re already showing, one skill they’re ready to build, and one practical way to support them.
That is deliberate. A teen who knows the readout goes straight to a parent edits themselves. A teen who knows it is theirs first tells the truth. You get the truth, filtered through what your teen chose to share, which is the version that actually helps you support them.
$995 every six months.
That covers everything above: the roadmap, the onboarding diagnostic and 1-on-1, six months of biweekly live masterminds, and my coaching. Your enrollment renews at $995 every six months so your teen can keep going, and you can cancel anytime.
If your teen already bought the matching $97 kit, that $97 credits toward the $995. The kit is the front porch; this is the house. You do not pay for the porch twice.
One honest note on price: as more teens finish this and the proof stacks up, the price goes up. That is not a countdown gimmick, I am not running a fake timer. It is just the plain truth that this costs less now, early, than it will later.

I’d rather earn it than hold your money.
If your teen completes the onboarding, shows up to the first two masterminds, and works the first roadmap steps, and you still feel it wasn’t worth it, email me at jay@outsmartthesystem.org within 30 days and I’ll refund you. I’d rather earn it than hold your money.
Straight answers.
Is my teen too young or too old for this?
It’s built for roughly 13 to 18. Younger than that and the group calls tend to go over their head; older and they are usually already out the door. If your teen is right at the edge, email me at jay@outsmartthesystem.org and I’ll tell you honestly whether it fits.
What if my teen loses interest halfway through?
That is exactly what the biweekly rhythm and the group are for. Most teens do not quit for lack of ideas, they drift when nobody is checking in. A small room of peers doing the same work, every two weeks, is the thing that keeps a teen going when motivation dips. It will not force a teen who refuses to show up. It will carry a teen who wants to and wobbles.
Is this a group program or 1-on-1?
Both, on purpose. Every enrollment includes a 1-on-1 onboarding call with me, and then the six months run on biweekly live group masterminds plus my coaching. The group is where teens see other kids their age moving, which does something a solo call cannot. Extra 1-on-1 time beyond onboarding is case by case, when a teen really needs it.
How much time does it take?
Two live mastermind calls a month, plus the roadmap steps your teen works in between. It is designed to fit around school, not compete with it. The teens who get the most out of it protect the call times and do the steps.
Is this therapy?
No. This is a money-and-momentum program, not therapy, mental-health treatment, or a clinical assessment. It builds judgment, follow-through, and real skill with money. If your teen needs clinical support, please get that first, this is not a substitute for it.
What’s the difference between this and the $97 kit?
The $97 kit is a self-guided starter, a roadmap, a resource kit, and a single kickoff. This is the deep version: the same starting point, plus six months of live group masterminds, my ongoing coaching, and a roadmap your teen actually works to a real result with a room behind them. The kit shows the door. This walks them through it. And the $97 credits toward the $995.
What if I want a refund?
See the guarantee above: if your teen completes the onboarding, attends the first two masterminds, and works the first roadmap steps and you still feel it wasn’t worth it, email within 30 days for a full refund.
Do I have to be on the calls too?
No. The masterminds are your teen’s room. Your role is to protect the time and support the work. You get the teen-approved summary; your teen gets the coaching.
