But with the All Access Pass you get all of these stellar bonuses from our expert speakers for just $85! 

Upgrade to the All Access Pass

Here’s what’s waiting for you when you say yes:

Have questions? Here are some answers.

  • Most of the pre-recorded bonuses and presentations are already available to dive into right away.

    Any bonuses listed on this page that are not yet available will definitely be available by the first day of the festival (most before then)!

    As soon as you purchase, you’ll get instant access to your course login where you’ll find coupon codes for each of the individual speaker bonuses.

    You’ll have until October 30th to use the coupon codes to claim the bonuses you want!

    All material related to presentations (videos, notes, etcetera) will be added to your Pass portal on Thursday September 29th at 7pm Pacific Time (and live workshops recordings will be added after they happen).

  • For each of the bonuses, you’ll get a link and coupon code to use on the speaker’s website. This will allow them to send you the info you’ll need for accessing and making the most out of their contribution.

    After logging in to the All Access Pass, you’ll need to take a few minutes to go through and claim each of the bonuses you want - totally worth it for the $1000+ worth of resources!

    Be sure to claim all the bonuses you want by October 30th. After that, the coupon codes may expire, and we are not able to give extensions.

  • You'll get access for as long as I continue to do business online, which means, definitely longer than a year! 

    With regards to the bonuses - I recommend once you sign up you access and use the ones you want right away.

    I can't confirm length of access for 30+ individuals, or how long they'll keep their bonuses online (businesses and focus change, etc.)

  • The videocall link for the live sessions is hyperlinked on the schedule, in the ‘start here/joining the live calls’ section of the All Access Pass, and included in the daily Festival e-mails.

    If you can’t come live, don’t fret! The replay will be uploaded and linked to the schedule right after presenting.

    If you don’t see the emails, search my e-mail address: jaha@janellehardy.com and make sure to check your spam, promotions and trash folders.

  • The Fast Action pricing you see on this page is only available until the countdown hits zero and will not be offered again, so click that button to upgrade your ticket at the lowest price currently possible!

  • We are not able to offer discounts, but know that you are getting an incredible value, even if you have some of the speaker bonuses already.

    The value of the All Access Pass is well over over $1,700 and even if you only signed up for 2-3 of the speaker bonuses, you’d be saving compared to buying them at regular price.

  • No. Due to the digital nature of the product and the fact that it contains instant downloads and material from multiple businesses, we are not able to offer refunds for any reason.

    Please look through all the details before you purchase and email jaha@janellehardy.com with any questions you have.

    With the high value of this Pass + the low cost, I’m sure you’ll find there are enough great things about it to feel you’ve gotten far more than your money’s worth.

  • No problem!

    Send an email over to jaha@janellehardy.com and we'll get back to you within 1-2 business days.
