Map every account, every IP asset, every revenue line you already have.
The Stage 1 Capstone. You complete this Mile and Stage 2 (The Architect) opens. You don't complete it and you stay at Mile 4 — that's the no-skipping-grades rule, and we honor it because it works.
The deliverable is a one-page Digital Sovereignty Report. Every account you're on. Who owns the followers. Where the revenue lands. Where it leaks. What your monthly platform-fee bill actually is. By the end of the week you can answer the question 'where does my money come from and who can stop it?' in three sentences. Most adults cannot do this. After Mile 4, you can.

Audit your inputs, not your outputs
Ferriss's '4-Hour Workweek' framework starts with auditing what you actually spend time and money on. The Digital Sovereignty Report is the same audit applied to your platforms.
Four channels we trust on this exact topic. Each one is a free education in itself.
Productize yourself + DEAL framework
Author of The 4-Hour Workweek. The 'Define / Eliminate / Automate / Liberate' framework is the spine of Mile 4's audit.
Digital minimalism + attention audit
Newport's 'Digital Minimalism' is the calmest, most thorough framework for auditing your digital surface area without becoming a survivalist about it.
Solo operator audit — what to keep, what to kill
Levels publicly audits his businesses every year. The audit IS the strategy. Watch how a solo operator actually decides what to ship and what to shut down.
What an acquirable business looks like
Wilkinson buys profitable productized businesses. Listening to him explain what he buys teaches you what to build.
Two books. Citation-grade. Read both before the Capstone.
Concrete actions. Do them in order. Each one takes between 10 minutes and a long Sunday.
Build the one-page Digital Sovereignty Report. Use the spreadsheet from Mile 3 as the base. Add columns for monthly $ in (revenue) and monthly $ out (platform fees, subscriptions).
Calculate your Sovereignty Score: % of revenue that comes through channels YOU own (your email, your domain, direct sales). 0% to 100%. Most people score 5-15%. Aim for 30%+ within 90 days.
Identify ONE leak — a platform fee, an unused subscription, a percentage cut you're paying that you don't need to. Cancel it this week.
Pick ONE channel you'll move toward owning over the next 90 days. Email list is the default starter.
Take Mile 4's capstone pop quiz. Pass score is 80%. Stage 2 (The Architect) unlocks on pass.
The Hard Fence
We don't teach sovereign-citizen theory, strawman, A4V, redemption theory, or anything that puts you in federal court. None of it is real law. People go to prison for it. Read the full Hard Fence →
