Terms of Service

⭐ TERMS OF SERVICE (Updated for 2025)

Effective Date: December 3, 2025
Owner & Operator: Good-Man LLC (“Good-Man,” “we,” “us,” “our”)

1. WHY THESE TERMS EXIST (A HUMAN INTRODUCTION FROM ROBERT)

Over the past few years, I’ve been approached by former clients, founders, executives, friends, and even complete strangers who were blindsided by sudden layoffs, industry collapse, or the profound disorientation caused by the accelerating impact of AI. People who once felt secure now feel unmoored. People who once had clear career paths now face uncertainty they never imagined.

This overwhelming outreach from so many corners of life — and the genuine pain behind it — is what drove me to write Reset Protocol™, Your Last Paycheck™, and the larger Five Year Life™ series. These books exist to give people structure when life falls apart, clarity when goals feel shattered, and a path forward when everything feels uncertain.

That same spirit guides the way Good-Man LLC treats your privacy, your information, and your interaction with this site.
These Terms of Service explain the rules, boundaries, and obligations involved in using FiveYearLife.com and any related services.

This introduction is warm, because the books are warm — but the Terms that follow are legally binding. Please read them carefully.
