I built this because I got robbed. First as a nine-year-old with a paper route, then as a grown man working travel contracts. The second time, I fought back with a spreadsheet and won. Here's your first week: 1. Watch the first three lessons in Module 1. It's free and takes about 45 minutes. 2. Run your first Get Paid Reset. Write down every dollar someone owes you right now. 3. Post your total in the comments. Just the number. Most people are surprised. The weekly Q&A is 20 minutes. Bring one question. — Eli
