Put your money and your business in order

Even if you are in the red right now and it feels like there is nothing left to set aside. Not motivation and not «think like a rich person»: 241 lessons, an assignment after every one of them, ready-made sheets that do the maths for you, and worksheets you print and pin to the wall.

  • You start from a number, not from inspiration: we calculate where you actually stand in 20 minutes
  • Every lesson ends with an action for today, not with «understanding»
  • Everything you make stays in YOUR Google Drive folder — for good, even after course access ends
  • The entry stage «Danger» is open for free: see how this is built before you pay

Access to the first module right away, no card needed

Calm concentric ripples spreading from a single teal point on a dark surface — order that begins from one point of control

There is money in the business, but no feeling of control

How it is now
  • The 26th: you look at the balance, then at the payroll, then at the rent — and do the maths in your head to see if you will make it
  • You cannot name the exact sum of your debts. Roughly — yes. Exactly — no
  • Business money and your own sit in one pile, and nobody can say where the company ends
  • You agree to a 30% discount and to a client who turns your stomach — because you need the money today
  • «I will set aside whatever is left» — and there is never anything left
  • The credit card in your wallet works as a reserve until it turns out the limit is already spent
How it will be
  • The month closes according to plan, and the 26th is an ordinary day
  • Every debt is in one sheet with its rate, and you know the payoff date for each
  • Two tills: the business has its reserve, you have yours. They do not flow into each other
  • There is a cushion — which means the right to say «no», and that is the most valuable thing a reserve buys
  • 10% goes to you by standing order on the day money arrives, before it starts being spent
  • The reserve sits apart, is reachable within a day, and its job is simply to exist

How the learning works

1

1. You come in and see your number

The first lesson is not theory. You take your bank statement and in 20 minutes you get an honest picture: how much you have, how much you owe, what a month of your life costs. WE give you the sheet that calculates it; YOU enter your own numbers.

2

2. One lesson — one action

Every lesson ends with an assignment of 15-40 minutes. Not «think about it», but «fill in, calculate, send». The action fits into the same evening.

3

3. The work lands in YOUR folder

You create your own Google Drive folder: «01 Tools» and «02 Assignments». Copies of our sheets and every completed assignment stay yours for good — even after course access ends.

4

4. The mentor writes in the margins of your document

You share a link with «commenter» access. The mentor comments right inside the text, not in a separate email saying «redo it». You see the remark where it belongs.

5

5. A stage closes with a check, not a tick

Self-check tests answer instantly and show exactly where you skimmed. A stage counts as done when the assignments are done, not when the pages were opened.

Skills

What you will be able to do with your own hands

Name your number in 10 seconds

How much you have, how much you owe, what your month costs and how many months you would last without income. Not roughly — exactly.

Calculate the true price of debt

What a month of owning a credit card costs, what really hides behind «0%» instalments, and in how many months the debt closes with a fixed payment instead of the minimum one.

Build a reserve on uneven income

A standing order on the day money arrives, half of every one-off payment, milestones of 1 → 3 → 6 months and the exact DATE you will reach them.

Keep the books in 20 minutes a week

Not «write everything down», but look at five numbers on the same day every week — and make decisions on them rather than on a feeling.

Talk to a lender

Word-for-word phrases: how to open, what to ask for (a payment holiday, restructuring, the rate, penalties), what not to say and what to get in writing.

Judge an income idea by a number

Scoring for income sources: what the start costs, how long until it pays back, how much of your time it eats — instead of «let us just try».

Do the unit economics of your business

Margin, break-even point, the cost of your hour and the moment when hiring becomes cheaper than doing it yourself.

Hold a habit for 60 days

The three phases of a habit, an anchor to an action you already do, and the buffer rule that keeps one missed day from wiping out everything.

Bonuses

What you take with you for good

The tools stay yours even after course access ends — they live in your Google Drive and on your wall

«Financial Pulse» · «Personal Financial Plan» · «Safety Cushion» (it shows the date you reach the goal) · «Way Out of Debt» (snowball against avalanche, with the overpayment for both) · «Income Sources» with scoring · «Capital Map» with rebalancing. You click «Make a copy» — and the copy becomes your property.

The printable «Danger» kit

The card «10 sound money habits» · a 60-day habit tracker with three phases and the buffer rule · a lender call card with word-for-word phrases · «A diet for your head»: 9 books and 9 films in order, with an action after each book and a question after each film.

The course is written in the language of a practitioner, not of a textbook. There is no «think like a rich person» here — there are your numbers, your sheets and the next action for today. Every lesson answers an objection before you raise it, and names the typical failure before you walk into it.

Take «Freedom»

The stages open in order: each one builds on what was done in the previous. Paying for one stage opens it and every stage before it. Start with the free one — and move on when you see that it works. The free stage stays yours for good; paid stages are open for 365 days from the payment.

Honest about the limits

We do not promise sums or returns — that would be untrue, and an untruth at the start costs more than any discount. We promise tools, an order of actions and a review of your work by a living person.

  • The course materials are educational and are not investment or legal advice
  • The particular bank, currency and instrument you choose yourself or with a specialist
  • There are no «guaranteed percentages» and no get-rich-quick schemes in the programme
  • Everything you make with your own hands stays in your Google Drive folder for good
  • The first module is open for free — you decide to pay having already seen the quality
Questions

Questions people ask before paying

I have debts right now. Is it too early for me to take a course like this?
The opposite — the course starts exactly there. The «Danger» stage is made for people in the red and is open for free: an honest picture of debts, the real price of a credit card, the payoff order and the conversation with a lender. You cannot build a cushion in a head that counts payments every night, which is why this stage comes before «Safety».
How much time does it take per week?
A lesson takes 10-15 minutes to read, an assignment takes 15-40. A comfortable rhythm is 2-3 lessons a week. The regular financial review we teach takes 20 minutes a week and stays with you after the course.
My income is uneven — feast or famine. Does this work on that?
Yes, the programme is built precisely for an owner's uneven income: planning starts from your three worst months rather than the best one, and setting money aside is tied to the day it arrives, not to a date in the calendar.
Do I need special knowledge or an accountant?
No. Every term is explained in plain words in the same sentence. The sheets calculate with formulas — you only enter your numbers. The course is written so that someone who decided yesterday to open their first business can follow it.
What happens to my sheets and my work when access ends?
They stay yours. Copies of the sheets live in YOUR Google Drive, the assignments in your folder. We deliberately built the method so that what you made does not depend on the course access period.
Are assignments reviewed?
Yes. You share a link to your document with «commenter» access, and the mentor writes remarks right in the margins — where they belong, not in a separate email saying «redo it».
How is this different from free videos on the internet?
By the fact that after every lesson you are left with a filled-in document, not an impression. Ready sheets, printable worksheets, self-check tests and a living review of your work — that is what video does not give you in principle.
I do not read books and I do not like long texts.
Every difficult lesson has a block «if you are the get-to-the-point type» — the whole substance in five lines, from which you can go straight to the action. And for those who take things in better by watching, the programme has nine films in the right order with a question after each.
Can I buy the whole course at once?
The stages open in order on purpose: each builds on what was done in the previous, and «Independence» without a cushion in place turns into theory. Start with the free module, then take the next stage once the previous one is done.
What if I start and drop out in the second week?
That is the most common scenario and we planned for it. The programme has a dedicated lesson on what to do when your hands drop, the 60-day rule with a margin of safety (a missed day does not reset the chain) and a «letter from the bottom» that you write to yourself in advance — for exactly this case.

Start from a number, not from Monday

Open the first module — it is free. In 20 minutes you will see where you actually stand, in numbers. Then decide for yourself: most people abandon financial bookkeeping not because it is difficult, but because they have never once seen their own numbers honestly.
