My Masterclass: How to Take a MasterClass

Step 1: On January first, download and pay full price for MasterClass. This is a year of learning new things. Soon you’ll be cooking, sewing, and persuading — after you learn the ropes from a former FBI Negotiator. Wow! You are going to learn so much! 

Step 2: In Mid-May, open the MasterClass app for the first time since January second. Select “Forgot Password” and reset your login information via email. 

Step 3: On June first, take your first class.

Step 4: It is very important to take two-three classes in a row. Show your pre-recorded professor that you mean business. 

Step 5: Go out and buy a notebook. The more expensive, the better. Ideally, buy two notebooks and get the third free. That’s a great deal. You are going to be learning so much and jotting so many things down, only one $29.99 notebook simply isn’t going to cut it.

Step 6: Leave your new notebooks in the car for a good four-six weeks. Tell any passenger to, “Go ahead and move all that stuff to the back. Sorry it’s such a mess in here.”

Step 7: Let MasterClass recharge you for the next year’s billing cycle. Let this credit card notification serve as a reminder that it is time to take this seriously. 

Step 8: Head out and buy a few notebooks.

Step 9: Start with a class from NBA champion Stephen Curry on how to shoot three-pointers. 

Step 10: Bookmark a class on financial literacy. You’ll get to that eventually.
