Assignment 1: The Control Panel

Assignment 2: Update your Spend Offensives and Income Influxes in your Control Panel (5 points)
Note that the Control Panel has now taken over the Weekly Attack Plan.
Draft three (3) Spend Offenses. Leverage the efficiencies, eliminations and behavioral changes identified in the Value Alignment and Expanding the Wedge exercises, or include any other opportunities to expand your wedge.
Spend Offensive Examples:
- Renegotiate your Cell Phone, Internet, or Cable bill…only accept if you get a better deal with greater service
- Research federal/state credits and rebates for solar panels, doors, windows, heaters and water retention…and take control of your resources
- Let a friend pay for lunch
Draft three (3) Positive Influxes, hustles, initiatives and easy wins to generate cash inflow.
Positive Influx Examples:
- Buy more of best-performing asset
- Rent out an unused asset and list your Land, Motorcycle, RV, Specialized Equipment, Filming Locations, Parking Spots, or Garage Space!
- Call a friend or competitor who is kicking ass
Sum all initiatives to calculate your Estimated Free Cash Flow (FCF) potential.

Assignment 4: DAILY Spend Offenses OR Positive Influxes (4 points per day for a max total of 16 points)
For 4 days this week, set your timer for 20 minutes and focus on one (1) Spend Offensive or one (1) Positive Influx. You are not measured by effectiveness, you are simply devoting time and intentionally making bold moves with your money.

Assignment 5: Review your week and Drive the Wedge (5 points)
At the end of the week, spend some time going back to think about your week. What worked? What did not? Note your successes and ensure you provide a dollar value.
At the bottom of the sheet, input your Weekly Wedge, your Estimated FCF and Actual Wedge.
Drive the Wedge: Chose an obligation from your Obligation Hit-List in the Control Panel and transfer the value of the actual wedge created to the principal balance. This is the single most important step in the entire program.
