There is a course fee for you to finish. Choose one of three options:
Course only
The course fee is $67. That gives you access to everything else in this course.
Course plus consultation
This option gives you the rest of the course plus a personalized consultation. That personalized consultation means you have up to an hour of my time for me to review any part of your book or book project and answer any questions I’m able to answer for you. This is a great option if you want to do it yourself with just a little bit of added help. Use it within 45 days of your purchase.
Struggling financially
Hey, if this is you, I get it. If you’ve lost your job, or your business has failed, if you’re struggling just to put food on the table, then I want to give you a break. This option is NOT for you if you’re just cheap or a lousy money manager. If you’re currently making over $30,000 a year, this is NOT for you. But if you’re doing your best, and still struggling, then this option gives you access to the rest of the course.
