"The constraint is the feature. When quitting costs something, you show up."

— The One Way Ticket Philosophy
The Problem

Subscriptions Are Easy to Quit

You've downloaded the apps, started the streaks, paid for the plans. And when life got busy, you quietly stopped—because there was nothing stopping you.

Easy Exit

Monthly subscriptions have a cancel button. Free apps cost nothing to abandon.

No Witnesses

Nobody's watching. No one knows if you quit. No accountability beyond yourself.

"Next Month"

There's always tomorrow. Always next week. The deadline that never comes.

No Skin in Game

Low stakes mean low commitment. Nothing to lose means nothing pushing you forward.

The Solution

The One Way Ticket

A commitment device for language learning. Pay upfront. Record a promise. When quitting costs something, you show up differently.

1

Pay Upfront

One payment. No monthly escape hatches. The investment is made before you start—not dripping out where it's easy to ignore.

2

Record a Promise

Speak your commitment aloud in your target language. Your characters remember it. Months from now, you'll hear how far you've come.

3

No Easy Exit

No refund button. No pause feature. Unused minutes expire. The constraint is the feature—it's what makes this work.

The Behavioral Science

A commitment device is a choice you make today that restricts your options tomorrow—forcing your future self to follow through. Research shows that when people put money or reputation on the line, completion rates increase by 2-3x compared to free or low-stakes alternatives.

The Process

How It Works

1

Choose Your Pressure

More pressure = Bigger discount

La Promesa

The Commitment Ceremony

This isn't just a purchase—it's a ritual. Before your One Way Ticket activates, you'll meet Don Joaquín Herrera, founder of the Don Joaquín hospitality empire. In your target language, imperfect as it may be, you'll tell him why you're learning and what you'll achieve. He witnesses. You commit. Your promise is sealed.

"A promise spoken aloud becomes real. When motivation fades, your own voice will remind you why you started."

— Don Joaquín Herrera
