How We Structure Your Growth

Most financial education throws everything at you at once. We've broken it down differently, because we've seen what actually works when people are juggling jobs, families, and life.

Weeks 1-3

Getting Your Bearings

You'll start by understanding where your money actually goes. No judgment, just clarity. We use real bank statements (yours or examples) to spot patterns you might not have noticed.

Weeks 4-7

Building Your System

This is where you create a budget that doesn't feel restrictive. We'll help you set up automation, find your savings sweet spot, and handle those irregular expenses that always seem to surprise people.

Weeks 8-10

Planning Ahead

Now we look at bigger goals. Whether it's buying property, planning a career shift, or just having a proper emergency fund, you'll work out what matters to you and map a realistic path.

Weeks 11-12

Making It Stick

The final stretch focuses on maintaining momentum. You'll create your own review routine, know how to adjust when life changes, and have strategies for staying on track without constant hand-holding.

Questions People Actually Ask

We get similar queries from most folks who're considering the program. Here are the honest answers based on what we've learned from previous participants.

Do I need any financial background?

Not at all. Most participants start with just a bank account and some confusion about where their money disappears to each month. If you can use a smartphone and open a spreadsheet, you're ready.

How much time do I need each week?

About 3-4 hours weekly. That includes one 90-minute live session (evenings, with recordings available) and some homework reviewing your own finances. The time commitment decreases as you get more comfortable with the material.

What if I miss a session?

Everything's recorded and available within 24 hours. We also provide written summaries and the worksheets we use during each session. You won't fall behind if life gets in the way occasionally.

Is there ongoing support after the program?

You'll have access to our community forum for six months after completing the course. Many graduates stick around to help newer members, and we host quarterly check-in sessions where you can ask questions as situations change.

Can I bring my partner into this?

Absolutely, and we'd recommend it if you share finances. Partners can access all materials and attend sessions together. We find couples who learn this stuff together have an easier time implementing changes at home.

What tools or software will I need?

Just the basics. We work primarily with Google Sheets or Excel, and you'll need access to your online banking. Everything we teach can be done with free tools. We'll show you some paid apps if you're interested, but they're optional.

Who'll Be Teaching You

Our instructors aren't just financial experts on paper. They've helped hundreds of Australians get their finances sorted, and they remember what it's like to feel overwhelmed by money stuff.
