The Worldwide Standard for Self-Reliant Skill-Building, Financial Freedom, and Reclaimed Self-Respect and Confidence.
The Bridge to Your New Life: Transformation Through Strengthening Your Weaknesses & Learning New Skills
True security is no longer found in a job title or a degree — it is found in your capacity to produce value. It’s determined by your ability to remain calm, cool, and collected so you can solve the important problems in life. It is then amplified by your ability to communicate value, in words, because you showed up and practiced. That’s how you own these skills.
The Blueprint for Success Strategy Call is a pre-requisite for earning an offer for enrollment in AUTONOMY and access to our worldwide community. Bring your best A-game, be on time. Secure your slot for the next cohort. (Seats are limited to keep class size small — this provides advantage to those who take action, and disadvantage to procrastinators.)
We created this page so now that you know ABOUT AUTONOMY, you can see WHAT’S IN AUTONOMY!
Here, at the University of Reason, we provide the twin-turbo transformation designed to build upward-mobility and accelerated problem-solving systematically, in people who learn to show up for themselves consistently. From there, you’re growing in the light direction and can learn to flourish.
The AUTONOMY course of breakthrough actions is an intensive 12-week implementation curriculum (plus 3 Bonus Sessions) paired with a year-round high-status community of people who take action.
10% → 90%
Designed to deliver results without taking up more than 10% of your week — so 90% of your week improves because of this 10% of strategic scheduling.
The Cadence
The AUTONOMY Course of Breakthrough Actions (ACBA) runs two times per year, with live cohorts and 12-week semesters launching every Spring and Fall.
However, your transformation doesn’t have to wait. You can enter the AUTONOMY Community Membership at any time from anywhere in the world to begin your onboarding, access the Preseason Orientation Library, and participate in year-round live events, classes, and workshops to begin your move from “actor” to “author”. (eg: those who wait to be told what to do, and those who do the doing.)
The 12-Week Roadmap to the Self-Reliance You Seek! (Plus 3 Bonus Sessions)
The journey through AUTONOMY is a systematic dismantling of “learned helplessness”, “extended adolescence”, and negative self-talk and the installation of the Swiss Army Knife for Life. We move from the wreckage of compulsory schooling into the high-performance patterns of a six-figure producer living a lifestyle of freedom.
Base camp → the steepest climb → the summit: fifteen sessions, one ascent.
Fifteen sessions, one ascent — tap any week to open the detail.
The Architecture of Absolute Potential
Five stacked deliverables — the complete implementation system you step into.
Full 12-Week AUTONOMY Course Of Action
12 Friday Night lecture presentations where everyone shows up, tunes in, and gets their learning on! (plus 3 bonus lectures)
Integration Exercises and Dojo Workouts
Ongoing live practice sessions to build the interpersonal dexterity required for the marketplace, throughout the 12 week journey of breakthrough actions.
24 Live Q&A Sessions with Richard Grove
Direct, 1-on-1 access during these group sessions to troubleshoot your specific path to autonomy every Friday night and Sunday afternoon.
The RAINMAKER Sales Training
A signature 7-week Live Sales Training — learn the “secrets” of ethical, high-margin sales and status alignment. Richard used this blueprint to earn $1M+ before age 30, he was 23 when he learned them. What could you do in this market, with these superior skills?
AUTONOMY Community Membership Options
Access to the 1,000+ member digital campus. (Note: Community access is a separate subscription that keeps the network vetted, professional, and ad-free. It is required to access the Forum and Libraries. Terms and conditions apply.)
The Worldwide Implementation Forum
The AUTONOMY Forum is an integrated part of your AUTONOMY Community Membership, providing the social glue and professional network that powers the 12-week journey.
It’s essentially our own private social network focused exclusively on accelerating and amplifying the AUTONOMY journey and it is the touch-stone for all events, extra-curriculars and activities.
Tech challenge? ALL of our offerings are simple enough to access that we regularly have folks in their 80’s– 90’s who can use ’em, so the rest of you spring chickens should be fine. There’s 3 apps, they’re simple and we help those who need help getting onboarded; it’s not our first time and we have prepared for your arrival over the past 7+ years of serving the highest quality service and delivering outstanding results for those who show up consistently and try. We can all do this!
Thirteen rooms of one campus — the network, the programs, the culture, and the coaches.
A High-Trust Network of 1,000+ Freedom-Minded Members
At its heart, the AUTONOMY Forum is a vibrant economy of over 1,000 freedom-minded individuals who share the common foundation of the AUTONOMY Course of Action.
We value Freedom over Slavery, and we treat each other with respect, care, thoughtfulness as we bring our best to every event we participate in.
This is a community of doers who are actively developing offers, launching products, and scaling businesses. The Forum is designed for deep human connection; here, you have the ability to network extensively, build lifelong friendships, and engage in high-level collaboration. With built-in direct messaging, you can move from public discussion to private strategy sessions with your new friends and colleagues instantly, turning digital acquaintances into a powerful professional and personal support system.
The AUTONOMY Community Forum: A Wealth of Integrated Resources
Membership in the AUTONOMY Course of Action community extends far beyond a discussion board. Your membership is an all-access pass to the complete AUTONOMY ecosystem, including:
- The University of Reason Library: The canonical repository of research and course materials, containing dozens of courses and Richard Grove’s extensive foundational work.
- The Community Events Library: A vast directory of all live and archived community programming, featuring dozens of event recordings, workshop sessions, and specialized presentations.
- The AUTONOMY Legacy Archive: Exclusive access to past, present, and future recordings of all previous seasons of AUTONOMY, ensuring that every breakthrough in the program’s history is at your fingertips.
- Bonus Material and Libraries: A milieu of constantly growing educational and informative content.
The Member Voice: AUTONOMY’s “Secret Sauce”
Often described by students as the “hidden surprise” of the program, the Forum is defined by an organic Culture of Excellence. It is a space where the unstated rule is mutual support: you can ask a question at any time and find experts and peers ready to offer high-level guidance. Here, you will encounter members engaged in deep disintegration exercises, seasoned entrepreneurs providing feedback on new offers, and specialists helping one another troubleshoot the technical and philosophical hurdles of sovereign living.
Worldwide Access & Year-Round Momentum
The AUTONOMY Course of Action is designed to be joined at any time, from anywhere in the world. Through the AUTONOMY Forum, we ensure that the engine of progress never stops. While the ACA operates in seasonal sessions, we deliver live classes, cohort work, and programmatic content all year round. This ensures that no matter when you join, you are stepping into a high-momentum environment that supports your growth 365 days a year.

Our Rock-Solid 100% Plan Of Action Guarantee
When you get on an AUTONOMY strategy call, you can invest your time with confidence because you will always leave with a plan of action – guaranteed.
In the extremely unlikely event we can't help you conceptualize a working plan, you will still come away with valuable insights and tips that can be put into action right away.
The Life You Want is Waiting on the Skills You Don’t Have Yet.
If you want something you’ve never gotten, you’re going to have to do some things you haven’t done. That can be tricky, without guidance and order-of-operations.
Path One — The Status Quo
You are now standing at a crossroads. One path leads back to the status quo — the distraction, the uncertainty, and the feeling that your potential is being traded for a paycheck. You’re well-familiar with that world already.
Path Two — The AUTONOMY Journey
The other path leads to AUTONOMY. Imagine waking up with the certainty that you have the skills to solve any problem and the network to trade with world-class peers. You have a story to tell and value to give. We have the architecture to help you build it.
It starts with one call. Your scheduled Blueprint for Success Call isn’t just an interview — it’s the first hour of your new life. We (you, and either me or a qualified AUTONOMY graduate) will sit down with you for up to an hour and in that short time, we can clarify your goals, uncover your best near-term opportunities, and determine if you are ready for the possibilities that you could be creating. IT’S TIME TO GET A BETTER PLAN. You deserve the upgrade, so few people have the attention-span — and you’ve just passed this level of self-qualification for undertaking this adventure.
Learning how to write your own script in life isn’t just profitable… it’s priceless.
Enrollment offers can only result by showing up for your Blueprint Strategy Call, which may or may not be followed by an invitation to enroll in the AUTONOMY course of breakthrough actions and access the community. Secure your strategy session to get a better plan, and see how AUTONOMY could change your life, for the best. University of Reason © 2026.
