Your Retirement Account Doesn’t Have To Sit On The Sidelines
Here’s what most entrepreneurs, executives, and high-income earners don’t realize: that IRA or old 401(k) collecting dust does not have to stay trapped only in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
With a self-directed IRA, you may be able to use those same retirement dollars to invest in things you already understand — like real estate, private notes, and other income-producing assets.
The problem is most people never set it up right. They don’t move the funds properly, they don’t follow the rules, and they miss out on years of potential tax-advantaged growth.
Learn how self-directed IRAs actually work
Understand the setup process before you make mistakes
Learn how rollovers and transfers work
Create a clear plan before your money arrives
Move forward with more clarity and confidence
Here’s Everything You Get For Just $197
You are not just paying for information. You are investing in structured guidance that helps you understand how to open, fund, and prepare a self-directed IRA the right way.
5 days of live guided training with Melissa Shea
Daily action steps so you’re not just learning — you’re doing
Melissa’s advanced IRA strategies most investors never hear about
Custodian education so you avoid hidden fees and slow service
Rollover and transfer guidance so you move your money properly
A clear investment plan for your next step
Here’s What Happens Each Day
Every day is designed to help you move from confusion to clarity — and by the end, you’ll understand how to set up and prepare your self-directed IRA the right way.
Discover The Retirement Account Wall Street Doesn’t Want You To Know About
You'll learn exactly what a self-directed IRA is, how it differs from the IRA you probably already have, and why most financial advisors never mention it.
And then Melissa is going to blow your mind.
She's developed a handful of ninja-level IRA strategies that allow you to dramatically increase the number of investments you can make inside your account. Almost nobody teaches this. Almost nobody even knows it exists.
Find The Right Custodian And Avoid The Ones That Slow You Down
Not all custodians are created equal. Some charge hidden fees. Some take weeks to process transactions. Some won't even hold the assets you want to invest in.
By the end of Day 2, you'll know exactly what to look for — and you'll have a shortlist of custodians ready to go.
Move Your Money Without Triggering Taxes Or Penalties
This is the day that changes the game — especially if you're sitting on an old 401(k), a retirement account from a business you sold, or corporate funds you've been meaning to do something with.
You'll learn the difference between a transfer and a rollover, which one is right for your situation, and how to move your funds the right way.
By the end of Day 3, you'll have a clear plan to move your retirement funds into your new self-directed IRA — without the IRS breathing down your neck.
Open Your Account And Start Funding It
No more theory. No more "someday."
Today you open your self-directed IRA and begin the rollover or transfer process.
By the end of Day 4, your account will be open and your funds will be on the way.
Build Your Investment Plan And Walk Away Ready To Invest
Your account is open. Your funds are moving. Now what?
On Day 5, you'll create a clear investment plan so you know exactly what to do when your money arrives. We'll cover how to evaluate opportunities, understand the risks, and keep everything inside your IRA the right way.
By the end of Day 5, you'll walk away with a funded self-directed IRA AND a firm investment plan to carry you through retirement.
