    This isnโ€™t just a possibilityโ€”itโ€™s achievable. Itโ€™s a self-renewing system that generates increasing opportunities and payouts every year.

In 2024, 18 sires contributed to the $275,178 payoutโ€”an average of $15,288 in earnings per sire. These sires averaged 1.7 unlocked disciplines, costing $5,000 per discipline. The numbers speak for themselves: a one-time $5,000 investment per discipline yielded lifetime benefits and significantly boosted annual earnings. Was it worth it? Absolutely!
