You're ready! Best to start small
The foundations are in place — your time horizon, your income, your buffer, your debt position. The things that have to be right before anyone should put money in the markets.
Most people who think they're "not ready to invest" actually are. They've just never been told what “Ready" looks like.
Modern UK platforms let you buy fractional shares and you can start with as little as £1. The course shows you the smallest credible starting position and why starting small builds a great habit and leads to confidence.
What this means for you
I'm building The First Step Investor module-by-module. When the first two modules are ready to watch, I'll open the doors to a small group of contributing members — 20 people, no more.
Contributing members get three things:
50% off the launch price. The price every contributor pays is locked in at half of what the course will cost when it opens publicly later this year.
A Q&A call with me before launch. One-on-one access — your thoughts and questions regarding the course and how it applies to your own situation.
First access. Contributors get each new module as it's finished, ahead of public launch.
It’s capped at only 20 places because that's the maximum number of people I can sensibly handle in my diary for opinion and feedback.
How do I become a contributing member?
Join the waitlist. That's it.
No commitment. Nothing to pay. When the first two modules are ready and the contributing member spots open, I'll email you — before anyone else hears about it. You'll have a window of a few days to claim one of the 20 spots before they go to the wider audience.
If you're not ready when the email arrives, that's fine. You won't lose your place on the public waitlist for the full launch later.
While the modules get built, you'll hear from me roughly once a fortnight. Just an honest update on what I've made that week, one behavioural insight worth thinking about, and where the build is up to.
When the contributing member spots open, you go first.
The first 20 contributing member spots open when modules 1 and 2 are production-ready. Waitlist members are invited before anyone else.
