The backstory of Legends
I launched Legends when I started Revenue Rulebreaker as a way to fund this project. It's become so much more than that quickly.
It's now a network of really fucking cool creative entrepreneurs.
There are 190 Legends as I write this. They are creatives, agency owners, authors, professional speakers, educators, media entrepreneurs, community operators, and creators. Legends are experts at their craft, established in their businesses and well connected in their fields.
Legends are people who share the ethos of Revenue Rulebreaker and who want to build their business alongside with likeminded entrepreneurs.
They joined at first because of me. They stayed and kept joining because of each other.
It's funny because you'd think $9/month wouldn't be much of a barrier to create a qualified network, but it is. It's enough. People who are willing to toss $9/month or $99/year in to try something new are the kind of people you wanna know. They're risktakers. They're investors. They're promoters. They're doers.
It's important that you know this is not a community. It's a network. I host Legends for mixers. I match Legends for co-promotion. I introduce Legends when it makes sense. It's low effort, high reward. And it's full of serendipity.
🏆 Perks of being a Legend:
- Shout outs on my newsletter when you join and whenever you have something you're launching or celebrating
- Invitations year round to collaborations we do in the Legends network like Legends Wishlist, Loose Ties Scavenger Hunt, and Secret Santa Swap.
- Invitations to members-only mixers and events where I match you with a curated set of connections based on your audience and focus
- Recognition on The List of Legends
- Preferential treatment at all times because I like you the best
- All access to my paid content (everything here on RevenueRulebreaker.com and everything at PaidNewsletterPlaybook.com)
- Bonus perks that we unlock every 100 Legends
Why Legends join:
Legends get the concrete perks listed above, but they also receive benefits from being part of the Legends network. Legends like each other! And they're inclined to like you too. That means you may also experience:
- New collaborators
- New referral partners
- New clients/customers
- New newsletter readers, podcast listeners, livestream viewers
- New social media amplifiers and commenters
- Friend of a friend introductions through Legends to other rad people
I am not promising any of this. I'm running a very low cost subscription here so I'm not making a guarantee of any kind BUT active Legends—ones who come to stuff or connect with other Legends through our activities—do report business expanding benefits. That's the serendipity of being a Legend! It's pretty easy to make your $99 bucks back. Plus, lots of people actually enjoy my writing and find it useful. Crazy I know!
Other Legends join to get access to all my writing on RevenueRulebreaker.com and the PaidNewsletterPlaybook.com (but if you just want content access, you can get a Backstage Pass for $7/mo instead)
Here's some of why Legends say they joined:

"I joined before I even fully understood what it was because I knew 'if Lex was doing this, it was going to be good'. Now I love the fact that, in addition to the newsletter, we get all these surprises all based on your creative ideas and things you think would be cool to do. Such a treat!" Alison Coward, Team Culture Expert

"The Legends Network is such a gold mine I willingly paid for it twice. It's where I've met all my business besties. It's my go to network when I need to hire, collaborate, or look for help. It's incredibly valuable and it's F U N. If you are a creative business owner you need to be in here. It's that simple." Laura Green, Business Strategist
