Start building something beyond your wages
Goodbye Poor Hello Rich started as my challenge, my show and my channel, and now I'm turning it into something you can actually join. It's for ordinary working people in the UK who want to earn something on the side, learn how to do it properly, and have had more than enough of being told it's easy.
About five minutes. Ten honest questions, and your results on screen straight away.
Who it's for
It's for working adults in the UK, a lot of you working parents getting squeezed by the cost of living, with a few hours a week, not much spare money, and a perfectly reasonable suspicion of most of what you see online about making money. Plenty of you won't want to go anywhere near a camera, and that's fine, because the first pathway doesn't need one.
It isn't for anyone after a get rich quick scheme, because get rich quick usually means burn out quick. And it's not for anyone who wants to pay a subscription and then sit back. Being skint is exactly why a lot of people will join, and that's fine, but you will have to put the work in.
What it is
There isn't one opportunity that suits everybody, and I'd be lying to you if I said there was. So the whole thing is built around finding the one that suits you, learning how to do it properly, and taking a first practical step without spending money you can't afford to lose.
The honest promise
I'll be straight with you about what something takes, what it costs and how long it's likely to be before it pays you back. I'll tell you what's ready and what's still being built. What I won't do is promise you a figure, because anybody who does is guessing.
How it works
-
Do the Opportunity Finder
It's free. Ten questions about your time, the money you could start with, what you've got lying around the house and how you feel about being on camera. If you've got £100 and can't afford to lose it, it won't be nudging you into buying stock.
-
Pick a path
Not ten. One or two that fit your life right now, with the reasons why. Each one comes with a first step you can take this week, and none of those first steps ask you to spend anything.

Join the founding membership
£29.99 a month
The classrooms, the community, the tools [TO CONFIRM: what the tools are at launch] and one live session with me every month. The first classroom is reselling on eBay and Vinted, starting with things you already own. Doors open soon after Christmas.
Because you'd be joining at the start, you get the platform while it's still being built. More pathways will follow as members ask for them, and I'll always tell you what's ready and what's coming.
What you won't get
- Passive income. It isn't a thing, so there's none on offer here.
- Guaranteed earnings, or screenshots of other people's bank balances.
- An expensive upsell waiting for you the minute you join.
- Personalised financial, tax or legal advice. I'm not a financial adviser.
- A personal reply from me to every single question. I can't promise that, which is why the lessons are written so you can make progress on your own, with the community around you.
About Des
If you don't know me, my name's Des. I spent about 25 years as an employee, as a police officer, a detective and then a civil servant [TO CONFIRM: career line]. In 2022 I was 42, with a job, a family and a mortgage that had just gone up after the mini-budget, and I'd started to realise that working harder for somebody else wasn't going to change very much.
So I set myself a challenge, in public, to turn £200 into £100,000, alongside the day job and with no business background at all. I hit it in 21 and a half months. That total was everything reinvested across several income streams, mentoring and sponsorship included, not Amazon on its own. I don't tell you that so you'll aim for £100,000. That's my story, and nobody is promising you the same.
Since then I've taught thousands of people through my courses and communities, and I'm still only a few steps ahead of most of them. I know what it feels like to start again in your forties. Every Sunday on The Replay I'm going back through my own start, the £100 challenge, month by month in public, if you fancy following along.
Start with the Finder
It's free, it takes about five minutes, and it'll tell you honestly which paths suit you and which ones don't. Grab a brew first.
