What You'll Actually Work Through

Most people avoid investing because they're worried about making mistakes. That's fair. This program doesn't promise to turn you into a financial expert overnight, but it does give you a clearer picture of what you're dealing with.

We meet twice a week for 24 weeks. Sessions run online from 7pm to 9pm Irish time. Between sessions, you'll have exercises that take about an hour each week. Nothing excessive, but you do need to show up.

  • Understanding your relationship with money and risk
  • Breaking down investment terminology without the jargon
  • Building a personal strategy that fits your actual situation
  • Working through common psychological barriers

How the Program Unfolds

Six months divided into three phases. Each builds on the previous one, and honestly, some weeks will feel harder than others. That's normal.

1

Foundation Phase

Weeks 1-8. We start with your current money habits and fears. You'll map out where your anxiety comes from and begin understanding basic investment concepts without the pressure to act immediately.

2

Application Phase

Weeks 9-16. This is where theory meets reality. You'll work through case studies, analyze different investment scenarios, and start developing your personal approach. Some people find this phase uncomfortable—that's where the growth happens.

3

Integration Phase

Weeks 17-24. The final stretch focuses on building sustainable habits and creating a plan you can actually stick with. We'll also cover what to do when things go wrong, because they sometimes will.
