Money isn't the reason you got into business...
but it is what will keep you in business.
...and every time you need to buy something, your palms sweat—what if you don’t have enough to pay the bills?
Spoiler Alert: That's where The Blueprint Model will help!
MONEY!
While *money* is likely not the reason you started your business (me either!), it is the unsung hero to unlock the time freedom, financial freedom, and creative freedom you long for. And spoiler alert: you don't have to be "great at math" to figure it out!
Let’s explore what ‘making it' really means for you and how to create a business that works for your life, not just your bank account—your “success currency”.
How many clients, projects, jobs, or products do you need to sell to hit your financial goals? From there, craft a Marketing Plan to attract the right number of buyers in a way that feels authentic to you.
Set the right foundations in place— get clear on your audience, your offers & of course, your pricing!
Manage your Money with ease, get my proven system for tracking your business finances without overwhelm.
^^ IT TRULY IS THIS SIMPLE.
From pricing, to budgeting, to taxes, to setting up your bank accounts— The Blueprint Model is a complete financial system to help you understand your business numbers with ease!
Inside this 6-week, easy to follow program, you'll put systems in place to stay on track and in tune with your money day to day. This comprehensive online business and finance program + group coaching experience is a MUST for any small business owner wanting to make real money with their small business dreams without sacrificing every waking hour to the non-stop hustle!
^^ Best. Feedback. Ever.
While everyone else is hustling to reach those 6, 7, and 8 figure business goals without really knowing why— you'll have a plan in place to reach YOUR goals on YOUR terms that fuels the life you want to live.
The financial course every business owner needs, taught in a judgement free zone.
WILL HELP YOU SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS:
What does success mean to you? The world tells us success looks like more money, more status, more power. My guess is, those things weren’t top on your list when you started your business. Time freedom, Creative Freedom, Financial Freedom— probably were. If you want to build a business that fuels the life you want to live (without getting caught in the rat race of worldly success), it starts here.

Before the Blueprint Model, I had no idea what any of my numbers were or what they were supposed to be. When you don’t know those numbers, you don’t really know what’s possible for you. So with this new knowledge in mind, in 2016 I made a choice to pivot my business completely. I looked at the numbers. And I made the choices I needed to step into those moments by launching my greeting card business, Little Well Paper Co. And I did it completely debt free!

Before I met Shanna I felt like my job was completely taking over my life. I felt chaotic, my brain felt like it was going to explode. I felt like I had no focus. After working with Shanna I felt like my life did a 180, both professionally and personally. All of the sudden I could just relax. There was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. If you’re thinking about going through the process with Shanna, the only thing I can say to you is DO IT, don’t even think twice. It’s literally the best money I’ve ever spent in my entire life!

For the past 15 years I’ve worked in finance helping entrepreneurs around the world make more money and then manage it well. During that time I’ve unlocked the blueprint to building a profitable and sustainable business designed to align with the life you want to live.
Here’s the thing—managing your business finances can be hard, and it’s not everyone’s best skill—but it *is* mine.
I would be honored to come alongside you on your business journey.

If for any reason you can’t get your numbers, financial goals, and business’s offers plugged into my system, on paper, and on track to tackle, we will happily wipe your draft desk clean and give you a full refund back with our 14-day, no-questions-asked guarantee.

I stepped off the hamster wheel and now can confidently create offers that I know will serve my family and business model well without worrying about all the industry “should dos”.
"I know it’s an investment and there are so many courses to choose from these days, but this is THE one you need. Shanna doesn’t just set you up for financial success, she also makes sure that you’re running a business that fills your cup."
Shanna is everything you’d want in a business mentor: kind, honest, helpful, and wise. She screen- shares her OWN systems to walk you through each process, answer any questions you have, and encourage you wherever you are in your business journey.
"If there is one course you choose to invest in this year, make it the Blueprint Model. It will save your business, your marriage, your sanity! You'll leave this course feeling empowered and motivated - it's worth every penny! "
"I have my cash flow plan beside me and I have been up SIXTY FREAKING PERCENT this whole year simply by planning ahead for slow months and all the sudden the money is there. You are brilliant and I am so grateful for you."
"So many courses out there are fluff these days, but The Blueprint Model is genuine gold, and by gold I mean overflowing with information more useful, relevant, and needed than most of your 400 level college courses were for life post-grad."
"She does a great job of explaining finances to the average person. I love that I now have a system for pricing my work! It takes the guesswork away completely."
"Because of Shanna's system: I take a legit paycheck from the biz every other Friday. I figured out HOW I could achieve my 'reach for the stars' number (without losing my sanity or working 24/7!). Can you tell why I'm #TeamShanna?!"
"The Blueprint Model is amazing! Let's face it, these topics can be a little daunting. And Shanna is so encouraging even just in the video content itself. Absolutely worth every penny!"
"I’ve taken A LOT of courses. Most are all talk and meh action. Shanna is approachable and knowledgeable. I feel like she cares about making my business succeed."
"She is approachable, smart, funny and has a way of teaching you about finances that is fun, easy to understand and doesn't make you feel overwhelmed or out of your league."
"Close your eyes and go with it! Theres no better coach who has so much heart and no judgement and understands the creative heart who may not have an interest for numbers."
We're a community of life-minded entrepreneurs with more than 75 industries and 26 countries represented!
According to my website my sales are down for the year. Add my shop sales and my goal for Q3&4 dropped by $40k! This is the true power in factual numbers vs emotions.
"By outlining my three main offers and pricing them for profitability, I learned just how many projects I'd need to book in order to hit my annual revenue goals. And, somewhat counterintuitively, that opened up a whole new level of freedom in my business."
"I sent my highest custom proposal earlier this week after using the pricing calculator to figure out an actual profitable price. I was so nervous because it was significantly higher than I would have previously quoted them. But they asked no questions and moved forward with everything!"
"I now embrace that time is my motivator. Before this course, my business was leading me. Now that I know all of my numbers, I'm empowered to lead my business. I will not figure out everything overnight, but my path is clearer than ever."
"Now I KNOW where every penny is going and it feels oh so good! (and I know / think / project I'II be able to TAKE august completely off in confidence b/c I have enough projections in April and May to pay myself in August without me freaking out!!!!)"
"Just gotta say that today, I officially paid myself for the first time in three years. I've basically been taking owner's draws as needed up until this point. The consistency has been the missing piece and today I finally have it and it feels like FREEDOM!"
"I really appreciate Shanna's full transparency -- like, literally pulls up her own P&L's to talk through numbers. I don't think ANY other business coach that I know of operates in that way."
"I decreased my workload by half and still reached my enough number. At first I was nervous about the pay cut, but realized all of last year I was operating in my 'Reach for the Stars' number."
"Gross income + net profits far surpassed my goals I had set at the beginning of the year, and even after reevaluating after taking BPM. (We're talking a 90% increase over last year.)"
"My owner's comp account is fully funded for the next 5 months!!! This gives me the freedom to work on my new offer, and still pay myself my full salary, even without taking on any additional clients if I decide not to."
"I set up my business bank account to *automatically* pay me every 2 weeks! After crunching my numbers (thanks, Shanna!) I know I have 2+ months of pay available right now plus enough incoming each month to do it on auto."
"I increased my prices, and l've booked FOUR weddings at the new rate! It feels SO GOOD to be past the mental block of not believing clients would book if they were over a certain price point."
I'm just so excited to understand all of these numbers and definitely feel equipped to approach next year with new confidence and a concrete plan. You've given me the tools for freedom.
Honestly, I wish every business could take this program before even opening their doors! It would save so many hours of wasted time, spinning wheels and let's face it, MONEY. You may not have as much historical data to review, but that won't stop you from building a plan going forward.
My friend Katie said it like this: "You would be crazy not to buy the course. :) It's like preventative medicine. You need to know all these things and act on them now, or they will haunt you later."
My other friend Kaitie (with an ‘i’) said this, "It’s the MBA for creatives! I wish I had done this years ago. I would be so much further along in my business."
We absolutely want to help make sure this is the right program and right investment for you! Send us an email at hello@shannaskidmore.com and we will gladly answer! Please allow 48 business hours for a reply.
Absolutely not! We have students representing more than 26 countries around the world! You can tune into the weekly core curriculum on your own time. We record all the office hour calls in case you cannot make it live or want to hit replay later to take more notes! These are added to the Answer Vault inside the program and available for 6 months.
While many financial principles are location specific (I always advocate for finding local help), the principles you’ll learn are applicable globally. The Blueprint Model teaches concepts every business owner needs to know no matter where you live that will be benefit you for a lifetime.
If you get into the program and realize we just aren’t the right fit, we offer a no-questions asked 14-day money back guarantee. While we absolutely know the transformative powers of this program, we also realize it isn’t for everyone and want you to be able to dive in with this peace of mind.
Short-answer? No. You'll meet students in every industry from floral design to paper goods, retail shop owners, brick and mortar stores, interior designers, wedding dress makers, craft fair makers, to virtual assistants. Bottom line: The Blueprint Model teaches you how to be a better business owner.
Regardless of your industry, The Blueprint Model teaches timeless financial principles that will serve you for a lifetime—no matter what you sell, you must understand how to manage your business finances, talk about money with your clients and make the sale, and systemize your processes for profit.
The Blueprint Model is not the right fit if you’re looking for a one-on-one business coach or an in-person experience. It’s also not right for you if you’re looking for help with legal setup, tax structures, or non-financial education like growing your email list or Instagram following.
This program also isn’t right for you if you’re not willing to put in the hard work or if you’re looking for a plug-and-play, done-for-you, business-in-a-box type situation. While The Blueprint Model is a proven system, you still have to put in the work to implement it for you, your industry and your location.
The Blueprint Model is for creatives, freelancers, small business owners, established and aspiring entrepreneurs. It’s for dreamers ready to turn their passion or side-hustle into a full time business and evolving businesses who want direction, clarity and help making money doing what they love.
If you have ever dreamed of owning a business, if you’re currently in the throws of starting your business, or if you’re already ten years in and somewhat drowning under your business, The Blueprint Model will teach you the essential business tools you must have in order to run a profitable, sustainable, life-enriching business.
The Blueprint Model isn’t just a one-time solution to your current problem. It will change the way you think about yourself, your business and your life. Not only are the tools you’ll find inside invaluable, the confidence and strategic thinking you’ll develop are life-changing.
