Get Paid to Be You — 30-Day Free Course

Who this is for

Anyone mid-career who can feel the seam between what they're paid for and what they're actually good at, and wants to close it before the next reorg does.

You're competent at your job and quietly bored by it
Your unfair advantage is the thing you keep hiding
You've been told to round off the corners that pay the rent
You want career capital, not a personal brand

What you'll build

Six concrete outcomes you'll have running by the end of the course:

Name the specific edge other people pay you for (in their words)
Stop apologizing for the trait that turns into your fee
Pick the next role from leverage, not from fear
Tell a story about your work that someone can repeat
Charge for the thing you used to give away by accident
Walk into a one-on-one with a position, not a hope

What a day looks like

Each day is one short illustrated story — about three minutes to read — followed by one small practice you can try the same day. The market keeps paying for the wrong thing about you. Thirty short days to find the edge you've been apologizing for and turn it into the work. Today's lesson might be a moment where someone gets paid for the thing they almost edited out. Tomorrow's will be another one. The stories do the carrying; the practice does the work.
