The four numbers

Before you spend a dollar or an evening on any way of earning money, four numbers decide whether it is worth doing. Most people never work out one of them.

What you can do afterwards

Judge any opportunity anyone ever puts in front of you, on one page, before you spend anything.

We send the class, and occasionally tell you when a new one is published. Nothing else, no sharing, and one click unsubscribes.

Or take the whole library for $149 a year — this class, every other one, and every class added while you are a member.

Delivered immediately by email. Yours to keep and to pass on, in full and unchanged.

Everything inside

What is actually in it

  1. 01What it costs before you earn anything — and the cost that punishes a slow week
  2. 02What an hour is really worth, after the hours nobody pays for
  3. 03How long until it pays you back, and what each range actually means
  4. 04What it costs to stop — the number almost nobody calculates
  5. 05The one page to fill in before you commit to anything
  6. 06Three rules, including the one about deciding your exit while you are calm

Every class ends with one

The one page to keep

A final page built to be printed on its own and pinned up — the checklist, the numbers, the exact words, and where to verify each of them yourself. It repeats rather than references, because a card that says “see page four” is a card nobody keeps.

What this class will not do

  • Tell you what you will earn. Nobody honestly can.
  • Motivate you. It is a set of instructions, not a speech.
  • Pad itself. It is 5 pages because that is what the subject needs — the last one is yours to keep.

Rates and requirements quoted inside are set by the companies involved and can change without notice. When they do, the class is corrected — and if you hold the library, you get the corrected version at no cost.
