Create a money plan you actually want to live by!
And know exactly what "enough" looks like for you!
—so as I transitioned from corporate financial planner to being my own boss, I had to develop a way to household budget that worked with the unpredictability of being self-employed.
Now I'm handing over my exact home money management blueprint, so you can feel in control of your finances and make massive progress toward your big financial dreams.
You've thrown your hands up more than once frustrated that traditional budgeting just doesn't seem to work with your lifestyle. And there are only so many times you can have "the money talk" with your spouse without collapsing in a puddle of tears.
Making actual progress toward your biggest dreams like sending your kids to college or buying that dream house!
Having a spending plan you actually want to live by ensuring you never feel guilty while standing in the Target check-out line!
Managing your finances month to month with ease without having to constantly check the balance in your bank account.
Learning to communicate effectively about money with yourself or partner in a healthy way instead of shutting down when it comes to money talk.
"Before working 1:1 with Shanna to set up a family financial plan, my husband and I got into it pretty regularly. He is naturally good at numbers and I’m....not. I was fearful of a lot of financial decisions we were making because I’m the type of person that needs to really understand and see things on paper. Thanks to Shanna, we set up a family budget in 2017 and it’s been the first budget I’ve been able to consistently stick to in my entire life. We have not only figured out how to take big financial ‘risks’—like a 3-month paid maternity leave for me, time off for him, and renovations to our house—but we’ve been able to give more then ever away. For the first time, I understand where my money is going and how much we have to give away each month."

If "budget" sounds more like a six-letter curse word than a tool for financial freedom... you've come to the right place!

Blueprint at Home program is life changing. For the first time in my life, I feel in control of my finances, I know where all my money is going, and I am able to adjust things accordingly when unexpected expenses come my way. The program removed all the blind spots I had with my finances, which has allowed me to get in front of my financial goals. Spending money is now intentional instead of reactionary, which has allowed me to save money every single month since completing the course (even over the holidays!) and not use my credit card at all! I finally have financial freedom!

Hey there Blueprinter (or future Blueprinter!) As you know, my financial philosophy is all about intentionality, mindfulness, and planning! Just like you need a money plan in your business (The Blueprint Model curriculum), you also need a money plan at home → Enter Blueprint at Home! These programs are designed to be complimentary. You will see the same core financial philosophy now geared toward managing your home finances well! If you loved BPM, you're going to love BP at Home!
ABSOLUTELY! Can I bold that and add (!!!) to it?! My financial journey began in personal finance. In fact, I was a Fortune 100 financial advisor for years! While I believe there are a lot of good people in the financial industry, I also know that most financial advisors don't get paid to help you manage your money day to day! Blueprint at Home was designed to teach YOU how to understand your money and learn exactly how ordinary people can build extraordinary wealth!
Great Question! Absolutely! This program is designed to teach a strategy for managing money day-to-day. Everyday kind of finance! Intentionality and planning are money philosophies that apply to anyone! With that said, money is unique to location, income levels, and all sorts of other factors. This curriculum is not designed to replace professional financial help specifically designed to your unique situation! But good news! There is an entire bonus video on finding the right financial help! So yes is my answer, dive in!
Yes please! You'll even find a bonus video all about "marriage + money : how to take a team approach in your finances". I would love nothing more than to see this curriculum help you communicate better about money, understand your household finances together and set big goals that unite you toward a common cause!
Great question! While Blueprint at Home is a self-paced course, there is an active student portal located inside each lesson! My team and I monitor this lesson thread weekly to answer student questions. So yes (!), we are actively monitoring the student portal so you can get specific help, guidance, and feedback when you need it!
I want this to be the right fit for you just as much as you do! That's why we offer a 7-day no-questions-asked happiness guarantee! If you dive in and realize "Oops, this isn't for me", we will buy the program back from you! While I believe this information is LIFE-CHANGING, I also know it's not a quick fix approach. It takes courage and some work. Simple but not easy! I want this to be the right time. Since this is a digital product make sure to review our Terms & Conditions for all details.
Absolutely! Just choose the payment option that works for you! We offer a one-time payment option or 3-month payment plan! See you inside the program!
Take it from me, the girl who worked in finance for years before figuring out a doable, easy to follow, way to home budget. Not to bad mouth “the other guys”, but a budgeting system for employees isn’t going to work for the CEO. They just don’t get it.
It all starts with having a plan.
