Money Basics for Freelancers
A 3-hour live workshop to see your take-home, runway, and what you're owed
Service or course. We email you within 24h after checkout to begin.
No income or get-rich claims; it organises your money admin and cannot make you earn more. It is not tax, accounting, or financial advice and is not a tax calculator: the tool does not know your tax/VAT rate or rules, which vary by country and change yearly, so you set a cautious rate and confirm real figures with a qualified local accountant.
If the money side of freelancing makes you anxious, this small live workshop fixes the part you can fix: knowing your real numbers. In about three hours, with a few honest figures and a free offline tool, you separate the tax money that was never yours, see your true take-home, and count your runway in months.
Max 15 seats, hands-on, fully recorded. You leave with a clear picture of where you stand and three habits that keep you solvent, not a vague pep talk.

Who it is for and the honest limits
- For freelancers anxious about money admin; beginners are welcome, no accounting background needed
- This is not a make-money course and makes no income, earnings, or job claims: it organises your money admin and cannot make you earn more
- It is education and tools, not tax, accounting, or financial advice
- The tool is not a tax calculator: it does not know your tax or VAT rate or rules, which vary by country and change yearly
- You set a cautious rate yourself and confirm real figures with a qualified local accountant
- money_studio.py runs entirely on your machine; your numbers stay with you
Right for you if…
- Freelancers who feel anxious about money and want to see their true take-home, runway in months, and what clients owe them in one sitting.
- Solo workers who keep mixing tax money with spendable money and want to separate the set-aside they shouldn't touch.
- People who want a small live workshop (max 15, recorded replay) plus a free offline tool that runs locally on numbers they provide.
- Freelancers who need simple habits and ready-made invoice follow-up and client terms templates to chase what they're owed.
Probably skip it if…
- Anyone hoping to earn more or get rich: this organizes your money admin and cannot increase your income.
- People wanting tax, accounting, or financial advice, or an exact tax calculator: the tool doesn't know your country's tax or VAT rules, so you set a cautious rate and confirm figures with a qualified local accountant.
- Freelancers who already track take-home, runway, and receivables comfortably and don't need a guided live session or templates.
Questions
Do I need accounting knowledge to join?
No. Beginners are welcome. You bring a few honest numbers and a rate you choose, and the workshop walks you through the rest step by step.
Will this help me earn more money?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. It organises your money admin so you see your real take-home, runway, and what you're owed. It makes no income or get-rich claims and cannot make you earn more.
Is the tool a tax calculator or tax advice?
No. money_studio.py is a diagnostic that returns HEALTHY / WATCH / TIGHT / DANGER based on a cautious rate you provide. It does not know your country's tax or VAT rules, which change yearly, so confirm real figures with a qualified local accountant.
What's the refund and do I keep updates?
There's a fair 48-hour refund window. You get instant access to the written lesson, curriculum, and tools, you keep the session replay, and you receive free updates to the materials forever.
