Who feels most excited and happy at dorm drop off day?
It’s parents (at all different income levels) who’ve laid the groundwork necessary to get that kid through college debt-free—and then directly into a career that kid excels at and loves. Even if he or she never gets a single scholarship.
If you’ve not yet laid any debt-free college groundwork, that’s OK!
I can move you and your friends quickly toward the goal of debt-free college and career for your kids—with very little time and money spent.
Just take these easy steps:
1. Get free, fast-paced, 10-minute video training from me right now.
You’ll find it at bit.ly/easylaunchinstructions.
(There are 3 videos listed—watch only the one labeled with your kid’s current year in school.)
2. Get help and direction from me every Monday morning.
Open my free newsletter every time it lands in your email inbox. Your friends can subscribe here.
3. Plan now to fill out the FAFSA form for the first time early in the 12th grade year—even if you’re rich.
See the article I’ve written on why you should fill out FAFSA even if you’re rich here.
Don’t leave any college money on the table. Fill it out—no matter your income level.
4. Listen to me explain my best strategy for turning ordinary kids into brilliant, frugal money managers.
This idea immediately relieves stress for parents—and it’s life-changing for students as young as age 14. Listen to me describe this strategy in a podcast interview here. (It takes just 11 minutes.)
5. Look carefully at my TRIBE Membership, and get yourself on the waiting list to get in.
You can get information on my TRIBE and join the waiting list here. Those on the waiting list get first access to the TRIBE when doors open in March of 2024. (Space is limited.)
6. Stay in my TRIBE Membership until you drop your kid at the dorm room door.
If your child’s in 12th grade right now, be especially aware of this: you’ll go through 6 more chapters in LAUNCH before your child goes out the door to leave for college. Some of our most important work will happen between September 2023 and September 2024. Stay in until you drop your kid at the dorm room door.
7. Look at this process like it’s a glorious adventure, with unimaginable treasure at the end.
Because it is.
