Earnings Disclaimer

ROBERT LEE GOODMAN • GOODMAN GROUP, INC. • CEO RESOURCE LLC • GOOD-MAN LLC

EARNINGS, RESULTS & FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION DISCLAIMER

No book, website, consultant, business plan, strategy, technique, forecast, investor contact, career recommendation or idea can guarantee your future results.

EFFECTIVE AND LAST UPDATED: SEPTEMBER 19, 2026

NO GUARANTEE OF EARNINGS OR RESULTS

Every reasonable effort may be made to provide useful, accurate and practical information. Nevertheless, no representation, promise or guarantee is made that you will earn money, increase revenue, raise capital, obtain financing, improve profitability, obtain employment, achieve a particular salary, grow a company, avoid business failure, publish a commercially successful book or achieve any other particular result from using our information, Products, publications, ideas, techniques or Services.

Your results depend upon your own circumstances and upon numerous factors that are outside our knowledge and control.

This Disclaimer applies, where relevant, to information, Products, publications and Services provided by or associated with Robert Lee Goodman individually, Goodman Group, Inc., CEO RESOURCE LLC and Good-Man LLC, together with their applicable brands and websites.

For convenience, those persons and entities may collectively be referred to as the “Company Group.” Each remains a separate legal person or entity.

This Disclaimer applies to ChiefImpleMentor.com, Chiefi.com, FiveYearLife.com and other Company Group websites or webpages that link to or incorporate it.

It also applies, where appropriate, to Company Group books, workbooks, articles, newsletters, downloads, presentations, videos, social-media content, educational materials, consulting materials, business plans, financial models, forecasts, case studies and other communications.

3. INFORMATION IS NOT A PROMISE OF YOUR FUTURE

Business and career information can help you ask better questions, recognize possibilities, avoid mistakes and make better-informed decisions.

That does not mean the same information will produce the same outcome for every person, company or situation.

Actual results may depend on factors including your experience, education, skills, financial resources, credit, available capital, industry, geography, market conditions, competition, timing, pricing, business model, employees, contractors, technology, customers, economic conditions, interest rates, regulation, execution, persistence, judgment and decisions made by third parties.

Some relevant factors may be unknown or impossible to predict when a recommendation, estimate or plan is prepared.

Good execution can improve probabilities without eliminating risk. Poor execution can undermine an otherwise sound idea. External events can also overwhelm excellent planning.

5. ROBERT LEE GOODMAN’S HISTORICAL RESULTS ARE BIOGRAPHICAL — NOT YOUR PROMISED RESULTS

Our websites and publications describe Robert Lee Goodman’s own historical business experience. Examples include founding companies and partnerships, raising outside capital, working with investors, building and operating businesses, completing real-estate transactions and advising startup and emerging-company CEOs.

References such as 49 companies and partnerships founded, 44 successful outside capital raises for 44 of his own companies and limited partnerships, $120.1 million in today’s dollars raised from 1,342 investors, and approximately $355 million in today’s dollars of historical real-estate transactions describe his own historical experience.

Those facts are presented as background concerning the experience from which he consults and writes. They are not representations of what any client, reader, founder, investor or purchaser should expect to achieve.

When a historical dollar amount is described as being in “today’s dollars,” “TD,” inflation-adjusted dollars or similar language, the amount is intended to provide contemporary purchasing-power context.

Such conversions depend on the inflation index, dates, calculation method and data available when the calculation is made and may change as underlying data are revised.

An inflation-adjusted figure does not represent money actually received at the later nominal amount and should not be interpreted as an investment return, valuation guarantee or current market value.

CEO RESOURCE LLC provides business consulting on a best-efforts basis subject to the applicable Statement of Work.

Consulting may include analysis, strategic planning, business planning, implementation assistance, financial modeling, investor readiness, executive mentoring, problem solving and other business services.

No consulting engagement guarantees revenue, profitability, financing, growth, survival, valuation, investor acceptance, successful execution or any other particular business outcome.

8. NO GUARANTEE OF FUNDRAISING OR INVESTMENT

No Company Group member guarantees that a client will obtain an investor, receive an introduction, secure a meeting, raise capital, obtain a loan, complete an offering or receive financing on acceptable terms.

References to Robert Lee Goodman’s funding network—including angel investors, venture capitalists and family offices—describe professional relationships and contacts. They are not promises that any particular person or organization will be contacted, introduced, interested in an opportunity or willing to invest.

Investors make their own independent decisions.

Nothing contained on our websites, in our publications or in this Disclaimer constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to purchase a security.

Historical references to Goodman Securities, Inc., securities offerings, private placements or fundraising describe prior experience unless expressly stated otherwise.

Prospective issuers and investors should obtain appropriate legal, tax, accounting, securities and investment advice from qualified professionals.

10. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Some Covered Content may discuss expectations, possibilities, estimates, plans, projections, forecasts, goals, scenarios or future outcomes.

Words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “potential,” “possible,” “target” and similar terms may identify forward-looking information.

Such statements represent estimates, scenarios, opinions or expectations based on information reasonably available at the time. Actual events and results may differ materially. No duty to update a statement should be inferred except where applicable law or a specific agreement requires an update.

A business plan, budget, financial model, forecast or projection necessarily depends on assumptions.

Those assumptions may concern prices, sales, customer acquisition, expenses, staffing, financing, growth rates, markets, interest rates, competition and other matters that may change.

A mathematical model may correctly calculate the consequences of assumptions without those assumptions ultimately proving correct.

Accordingly, projected revenue, profit, cash flow, valuation, financing need, break-even timing or other financial performance is not guaranteed.

Starting, financing, operating and growing a business involve substantial risk.

A company may lose money, fail to raise capital, lose customers, experience operational problems, encounter litigation or regulatory issues, require substantially more capital than expected or fail completely.

Neither experience nor careful planning can eliminate entrepreneurial risk.

Books, workbooks, downloads and other educational Products are intended to provide information, frameworks, questions, ideas and possible actions.

Purchasing or reading a Product does not guarantee that you will obtain employment, earn income, reduce expenses, eliminate debt, avoid foreclosure or eviction, rebuild credit, start a successful company, raise capital or achieve another specified result.

A reader remains responsible for determining whether a suggestion is appropriate to the reader’s circumstances.

Publications such as Your Last Paycheck™ may discuss occupations, skills, compensation ranges, freelancing possibilities, business opportunities, job-search strategies or methods of generating income.

Salary and compensation information can vary by employer, geography, experience, education, skill, market conditions, industry, employment classification and date.

Illustrative freelance prices, compensation ranges or possible income-generating activities are examples for planning purposes and are not representations that a reader will receive that price, salary, assignment or income.

Employment and compensation decisions are made independently by employers, clients, platforms and markets outside our control.

15. TESTIMONIALS & PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

Testimonials, recommendations, performance evaluations and other client comments describe the experiences and opinions of the persons who provided them.

They may concern different services, circumstances, markets and periods extending across decades.

A favorable statement by one client does not mean another client will achieve the same business or financial result.

Testimonials are not intended to override specific qualifications or disclosures accompanying a particular claim.

A case study or example may be actual, adapted, composite, hypothetical or illustrative depending upon how it is identified in the applicable material.

Hypothetical or composite examples are used to illustrate ideas and should not be interpreted as reports of a specific person’s actual financial or business result.

Even an actual historical case does not guarantee that the same decision will produce the same outcome in different circumstances.

Covered Content may cite or discuss information from government agencies, research organizations, employers, industry sources, websites or other third parties.

Such information may be accurate for a particular population, methodology and period but may not describe your circumstances.

Statistics, prices, compensation figures, unemployment measures, inflation calculations and other external information can also be revised or become outdated.

Artificial-intelligence systems, research tools, software and automated technology may assist in preparing, researching, editing, evaluating or presenting some information.

Technology-assisted material may contain mistakes, outdated information, incorrect assumptions or fabricated outputs.

Material business, financial, employment, legal, medical or investment decisions should be independently verified.

20. YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE IS ESSENTIAL

Information and advice are inputs into a decision—not substitutes for the decision-maker.

You should investigate material facts, challenge assumptions, consider alternatives, understand risks, obtain appropriate professional advice and make your own decision concerning whether and how to proceed.

Compound Knowledge™ describes the accumulated perspective that can develop from decades of experience, thousands of relationships, many industries and the ability to connect patterns, differences, exceptions and possibilities across those experiences.

It does not mean that every problem has been seen before, every important fact is known, every connection is correct or every recommendation will produce the desired result.

23. BUSINESS-OPPORTUNITY LAWS

Our ordinary consulting, publishing and educational Products are not represented merely by this Disclaimer as regulated “business opportunities.”

If a particular future offering is subject to the Federal Trade Commission’s Business Opportunity Rule or another law requiring specific disclosures or earnings-claim substantiation, the legally required disclosures for that offering will control. This general Disclaimer is not intended to replace a disclosure document or earnings-claim statement that applicable law specifically requires.

Business activity can result not only in lower-than-expected gains but in actual financial loss.

You should never interpret our discussion of a possible strategy, opportunity, investment, business model, career move or source of income as a representation that it is risk-free or that loss cannot occur.

A statement may be accurate when written and later become obsolete because of inflation, market changes, technological change, new research, revised government statistics, new laws, employer behavior, economic conditions or other developments.

You should verify information that is material to a current decision rather than assume a historical publication reflects present conditions.

You decide whether to implement an idea and how to implement it.

Except as expressly provided in an applicable written agreement or required by law, the Company Group does not control your company, finances, employees, career, investment decisions, negotiations, contracts or implementation.

You remain responsible for the consequences of your decisions and actions.

27. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no Company Group member guarantees or accepts responsibility for your business success, business failure, earnings, losses, financing, investment result, employment result or other economic result merely because you purchased, received or used information, a Product or a Service.

Additional limitations of liability are contained in the applicable Terms of Use and, for consulting engagements, the applicable Statement of Work or other Additional Terms.

This Disclaimer supplements the applicable Terms of Use & General Terms of Service, Privacy Statement, consulting Statement of Work and other transaction-specific agreements.

If a properly accepted transaction-specific agreement contains more specific provisions concerning results, warranties, liability or risk, those provisions control that transaction to the extent of any conflict.

THE BOTTOM LINE

We can provide experience, information, questions, analysis, ideas, tools, perspective and assistance.

We cannot provide certainty about the future.

No guarantee is made that you will achieve a particular earning, financing, business, investment, employment, publishing or other result from anything we provide.
