AI-40 / §01 · The promise
Not “about an hour.” Here is where every minute goes — four short lessons and the writing you do between them.
34 min watching · 6 min writing
= 40 minutes, once.
AI-40 / §02 · The canvas
Each one is a lesson, a worksheet, and one decision you actually make before you move on.
Purpose builder
Not a mission statement for a wall. A sentence short enough to hold in your head on a Tuesday, and specific enough that it rules something out.
You leave with
Write a one-sentence Purpose that guides weekly decisions.

Passion audit
Audit the week you actually had, not the one you meant to have. Find the three parts of the work you would do anyway, and the one that quietly costs you the most.

Protect 3 energizers; remove one workflow drainer.

People map
Map influence, not your address book — the handful of people whose attention genuinely changes your next quarter. Then write the message you have been putting off.
You leave with
Map the influence circle; send one strategic outreach.

AI-40 / §03 · What you get
No modules to unlock. No drip. Everything is there the moment you enroll.
One-page action plan
Each worksheet writes into one zone. When the fourth is done, the four collapse into a single sheet you can print, pin up, and hold yourself to. It prints legibly in black and white, because that is the printer you actually have.
AI-40 / §04 · From people who did it
Four students, in their own words. Nothing here has been tidied up.
I went into CoreFour feeling scattered — too many projects, too many priorities. In less than an hour, I had a one-page map that showed me exactly where I was out of alignment.
I didn't need another business book — I needed clarity. In 40 minutes, CoreFour helped me see exactly where I was spreading myself too thin.
Running a shop, I was constantly busy but never felt like I was moving forward. This course gave me the reset I didn't know I needed.
English isn't my first language, but CoreFour was easy to follow and incredibly practical. I finished in one sitting and immediately sent the outreach message I'd been avoiding for months.

About 40 minutes end to end. Four videos of 7–9 minutes each, and you can pause any of them. Most people do it in one sitting; nothing breaks if you don't.
A browser, a calendar or planner, and a willingness to reflect. The worksheets fill in on the page, and you can download them as PDFs if you'd rather write by hand.
