Assignment 2: Update Control Panel (5 points)
Note that the Control Panel has now taken over the Weekly Attack Plan.

The Control Panel template can be found in the Debt Destroyer Tools and Templates here (far right tabs).
Focus on ONE area and spend 15-20 minutes strategizing and updating
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:
- Set up a bi-weekly payment for a monthly obligation (Mortgage)
- Open a micro-savings account and build your wedge incrementally. A list of Apps that do this can be found HERE, or you can search your existing bank for programs (An example of Wells Fargo’s offering HERE)
- Take some advice from Grandma and use coupons
Draft three (3) Positive Influxes, hustles, initiatives and easy wins to generate cash inflow.
Positive Influx Examples:
- Drop a terrible client that takes 80% or your time for 20% of the income
- Add one more revision, review or extra push and go an extra 20%
- Get rid of hobby equipment you never use and sell it online
Sum all initiatives to calculate your Estimated Free Cash Flow (FCF) potential.
