In my 5 Day Challenge review, I’m going to examine this training to the bones, the Learn, Launch, Lead Challenge, as it is also called.
It aims to help you learn the skills to launch a business and become a leader at it. Hence the name—Learn, Launch, Lead.
You probably heard someone on social media promoting this course and you have your doubts—that’s fine.
By the end of this post, you’ll make a better discernment on whether you should enroll in the challenge or not.

Who Is This For?
This training is for all those who wish to learn, launch and lead their own online business and have no experience whatsoever.
It’s a great small course that focuses on creating a business using social media and short videos to attract your target audience.
But it may not be for you if you already have a established business with terrific online presence, already did their previous challenge (now discontinued), or simply don’t have the time to put in the effort and want some get-rich-quick scheme—Get out of here, as this is not for you.
5 Day Challenge Review (Learn, Launch, Lead)
First and foremost, your host to the challenge is Dave Sharpe, an interesting guy who’s been featured on Forbes and Entrepreneur, also regarded as an icon in the digital marketing industry.
As engaging as he is, the hours you’ll spend in this challenge will be fun, believe me.
This training is also delivered by the team at Legendary Marketer, which now has over 150 team members worldwide. This company has inspired many beginners in the online space to get out there and build a real business.
So, here’s my take on this training program.
When you start the 5 Day Challenge, you must decide whether you want to be advisor-led or self-led throughout the whole training.
I chose Option 1 as I wanted to speak to an advisor. This would help me write a better and more comprehensive review for this course. You can read my thoughts on the call down below.
Day 1: Learn—Introduction to Digital Marketing
On Day 1, there’s an hour-long video where Dave Sharpe, Legendary Marketer’s CEO, makes a presentation.
He starts with a motivational speech, bringing our attention to how mindset is crucial to starting an online business and getting us to think about the things that hold us back psychologically to get us to the next level in our lives.
He goes on to discuss the different business models people choose when creating a digital business, all of them inferior compared with the four main ones (or the 4 Core, as he calls them).
What makes these 4 models unique is that they revolve around selling digital products or selling information. Those are:
- Affiliate marketing.
- Courses.
- Coaching
- Events.
Next up, he breaks down how he builds these different models using pretty much the same framework each time. It consists of:
- Building sales funnels (and why they’re different from having a website).
- Optin pages, bridge pages, and product sales pages.
- Email marketing.
I honestly believed that the previous 15 Day Challenge went too overboard with explanations and fluff, so it was great to see that Dave put so much real information in a single hour in this new challenge.
After watching the video, there are some assignments, including registering for a free trial of ClickFunnels, one of the top funnel builders.
The challenge offers some cool bonuses, such as DFY funnels for the four different business models Dave talked about that you can import right away to your ClickFunnels account.
Don’t worry, they have a step-by-step video explaining how to set everything up.
The next assignment is to create your free Aweber account. This is your email autoresponder, where you can send automated emails to your leads. Everything’s connected to ClickFunnels to work smoothly.
My thoughts: I don't understand why they didn't provide the free trial to ClickFunnels 2.0 which already has email automation built-in. This way, you don't need Aweber. Hopefully, they'll change it in the near future.
Day 2: Launch—With a Focus on Content
On the second-day lesson, Dave focuses on faceless content creation.
This is a genius tactic, as most people are afraid to speak in front of a camera. This way, he’s able to reach more people who are genuinely interested in launching an online business but are afraid to put themselves out in the world.
But as you gain more experience, you’ll probably start to feel more confident showing yourself. That’s up to you.
The second-day video shows an interview Dave had with David Jones, one of the Legendary Marketer students, who gained 600k followers on social media in 60 days using faceless content.
Basically, in this challenge, you’ll learn how to generate traffic from social media profiles.
My Business Plan Advisor Call
I wanted to make this 5 Day Challenge review the best possible while keeping it short. That's why I booked a call with a business plan advisor at Legendary.
In fact, I had to, if I wanted to proceed to Day 3. Luckily, it was fast, as he was in the same time zone as I was. I just had to wait 15 minutes.
For privacy reasons, I won't display his name here, but I only want to say he was very polite, friendly, and not salesy whatsoever. Because this challenge has an upsell for the Business Blueprints at the end at a discount ($2,500 for all four), I heard some people bash on Legendary Marketer's advisors as being pushy and salesy. However, that was not the case with mine.
We talked about who I was, why and how I got into the challenge, my experience with digital marketing, and he only assign me to watch some Wake Up Legendary interviews (Dave's daily interviews with their students) and then come back to him to unlock the last day. I politely asked him if he could unlock all days right now, which he did, no questions asked.
Day 3: Lead—With Confidence
On Day 3, Dave will explain how to:
- Lead your own brand.
- Identify who your target market is and their pain points.
- Build your audience.
You’ll watch a presentation by JoAnn, the Director of Marketing and Live Training at Legendary Marketer, where she gives you the fundamental questions you must answer in order to find your real audience.
She’ll also discuss the three main parts of killing content—Hook, Value, and Call to Action—and give you assignments so you can start creating content guided by her.
Yes, you have homework to do, but if you want to take this challenge seriously, you'll do it and have fun while doing it.
In this lesson, they also share a Google document with 50 hooks to test and use in your content regardless of the niche you’re in. Can’t share it here with you, sorry, or I’d infring their policies.
Day 4: Entrepreneur Mindset
In this lesson, Dave discusses the dynamics of building an online business.
That’s the mindset you need to adopt to become a leader in your business, your space, and your life.
He talks about the personal challenges like imposter syndrome and self-doubt that hold us back.
In the end, it’s all about building a strong self-esteem, the real deal behind success.
Day 5: Business Plan Class
Starting an online business may be no easy task, especially if you’ve never done anything of the sort.
This last lesson will help you create your business plan. You’ll put on paper the actual action you want to take and make a decisions about launching and building a business of your own.
Important: In the Business Plan Class you will be presented with a limited-time opportunity. Once you click the "BEGIN CLASS" button, your 48-hour timer will begin.
In this time window, you'll be able to purchase Legendary Marketer's Business Blueprints (all 4 of them) for the price of one—that's a $2,500 cost. So, before starting this class, think about that, and make your decision first so you don't feel the pressure then.
When we're in FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), we usually do things we come to regret later on. My advice to you is to take it easy and don't get ahead of yourself. Mature first, decide, and then begin the class.
Legendary Marketer Business Blueprints Offer & Guarantee
In this challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to buy the Blueprints at a discount, but the caveat is that it’s only valid for 48 hours.
Most people don't know, but the Blueprints do come with a guarantee.
If you've tried everything they told you for at least 90 days and you're not making any money, you'll have a trainer assigned to you who will work with you one-on-one until you start making money.
This is what my business advisor told me.
So, you won’t get your money back, but you’ll certainly start making some money online with the help of your advisor.
Legendary’s team keeps growing (with over 150 members at the time of this writing), and their company is becoming increasingly noticeable in the industry as illustrated by the fact that they’re the 63rd fastest-growing privately owned company in the education industry on the Inc. 5000 list.
I mean, you’re in good hands.
5 Day Challenge vs. 15 Day Challenge
If you know Legendary Marketer, they’re one of the most trusty companies in the online space when it comes to delivering training in digital marketing.
Their flagship product, the 15 Day Challenge, has been revamped and updated, being more concise and straight to the point. Besides, it adds new training that most will find helpful.
Refund Policy
If $5 is too much for you to spend, they’ve got your back.
The 5 Day Challenge has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can rest assured that you’ll have your $5 back if you’re not satisfied with the program.
Final Thoughts on the 5 Day Challenge
Hopefully, my 5 Day Challenge review helped you gain insights on this new training created by the team at Legendary Marketer.
It might not be for everyone, especially if you already experienced some success in building your own online business.
On the other hand, this challenge may give you new perspectives and ideas you haven’t thought about before—which may be the missing piece to finally make something out of your business.
You decide!
