Stage 3 · Detach from hours — The monetization track

The two-week test

You are done when — You can write both amounts

You cannot judge “detached from hours” by feel. There is one way to measure it.

If you did nothing for two weeks, how much of that month’s revenue would still arrive? That share is your leverage today. Zero means it is still labour; half means half of it is structure.

Measure it first because most people start automating without knowing this number — and then cannot tell whether anything improved.

This month’s revenuehow much?
The part that needs my handshow much?
The part that arrives anywayhow much?

The steps are not tapered. How much remains at each step is your number, not one we measured — fill in your own.

Do this today

Split this month’s revenue into needs-me and arrives-anyway, and write both amounts.

My answer · How much arrives without you

Honestly · Zero is the normal answer. If you started with services, all of it comes from your hands at first. The point is to know the number, not to feel bad about it.

Find the part that never changes

You are done when — You used that template as-is on the next job

Check the threshold first

You are done when — You can write the threshold and the date you checked it

Few who get here are alone

You are done when — Revenue arrived, even once, in a month you did not work
