Written from your 9 answers

Free to start. Your full plan from $59 plus applicable tax, paid once, or included in yearly membership.
The figures on each card come from that person’s plan: worked examples, not forecasts.
Each sample plan runs to 22–24 pages, written for that person.

FAQ
BYE is an online planning service for building something of your own. You tell it about your skills, your time and what you want. It writes a plan around your real week. You can start free, buy a personal Starter Plan, or join membership for help to follow it. It’s your own business, run your way. There’s nothing to buy from BYE to sell on, no one to sign up, and BYE takes no cut of your sales.
BYE isn’t a video course. There are no pre-recorded lectures or motivational talks: just your plan, practical tasks and tools that use your own information.
You don’t pay up front to start. The questions, your letter and your first card are free.

Answer the free questions about yourself. BYE gives you a letter and your first card. You don’t need a payment card. You can stop there and keep them, or decide whether you want a plan.
BYE may suit you if you have a skill, a trade, a craft or a service that people already ask you about, or something you’d like to try, and you want a plan made around your real life. It doesn’t matter whether you work, study, are retired, care for someone at home or are between jobs. It isn’t a fit if you want a promised income or a quick result. Membership is for adults.
Starting is free. The Starter Plan is paid once, with no subscription. Membership is paid monthly or yearly. The prices section shows what each option costs in your currency where available, what it includes and any tax that applies.
No. Your plan is yours to keep without it. Membership helps you follow your plan and change it as life changes.

From the founder
I grew up in a small village in Croatia. I was working full-time by 18, and I moved to Ireland at 20. Today I’m a General Manager, and I’m building BYE on the side.
For years I gave 70-hour weeks to someone else’s business, and very little to something of my own. It took me a while to see what I had to offer. I built BYE so you can give your abilities a chance, alongside the life you have now. And you won’t be doing it on your own.
