Before you do anything else in this community run these two free tools. Step 1 — The Credit Roadmap Calculator Find out how many college credits you could earn in the next 90 days before you spend a dollar on tuition. 👉 6monthdegreeacademy.com/credit-calculator.html Step 2 — The Blueprint Simulator™ Takes 45 seconds. Shows you your actual projected graduation date based on your real life — your schedule, your credits, your school. 👉 6monthdegreeacademy.com/blueprintsimulator.html I built both of these specifically for working adults who think going back to school means 4 years of sacrifice. It doesn't. Run the tools. Come back and tell me what your graduation date says. I read every single one. — Jim

Quick note — inside Skool you'll see the tiers labeled Standard, Premium, and VIP. Throughout my videos I refer to the $997 tier as '6MDA VIP' and the $2,497 tier as '6MDA Mentorship.' Same thing, different labels. Skool controls the tier names — I control what we call it here.

Big milestone today. GradMap™ — our interactive degree planning tool — is now live inside the VIP classroom. This is the first tool of its kind built specifically for CBE students stacking alternative credits. You plug in your school, your current credits, your pace, and it spits out a personalized quarter-by-quarter degree plan with a projected graduation date and estimated savings vs. the traditional path. Built it from scratch. Hosted it on our own domain. Gated exclusively for VIP members. Find it in Week 2 → Video 6 — Your First 30–90 Day Credit Plan. This is just Phase 1. UMPI YourPace and WGU are live now. More schools coming. Go build your plan. Drop your projected graduation date in the comments. Let's see it. 🎓

What’s the #1 thing that has slowed you down from finishing your degree? Not starting — but actually finishing. Time? Confusion on what to take? Cost? Just life getting in the way?
