Go from qualified to in market in four weeks. Build the assets, open all four channels, and leave with a 90-day plan to keep the work coming.

Why this exists
Most experienced operators who think about going fractional stall in the same place. They are qualified, but they don’t know where to start. They stay broad to keep options open, their track record is full of responsibilities instead of results, and they pick one channel and call it a pipeline.
The Blueprint is built around Amanda’s own transition and her real application data across 15+ platforms. It covers what vetting actually looks like, how long approval really takes, and where the traps are. Nobody else teaches it from lived data.
What you will have by the end of Week 4
This is a build program. You leave with assets, not notes.
Curriculum
Async · about 1.5 hours
Goal: Nobody arrives at Week 1 cold.
90-min live session · about 5 hrs between sessions
Goal: Move from “I’m curious about fractional” to a specific, repeatable market position.
Between sessions
You leave with: a niche statement a stranger can repeat, a quantified career inventory, your starting ladder rung, and a runway model that shows how many clients you need and by when.
90-min live session · about 9 hrs between sessions
Goal: Turn your track record into assets that sell when you’re not in the room, and put a defensible number on every rung of your ladder.
Between sessions
You leave with: a 5-entry STAR portfolio, a base fractional resume, a rewritten LinkedIn profile, your ladder with three rates per rung, and a one-page offer with prices.
90-min live session · about 11 hrs between sessions
Goal: Start platforms, outbound, inbound and communities in the same week, because they convert on different lags and need to run together.
Between sessions
You leave with: 8+ platform applications (the first five tailored), 50 tiered contacts with 15 messages sent, two posts published with a cadence booked, two communities joined, and one tracker holding all of it.
90-min live session · about 7 hrs between sessions
Goal: Turn conversations into scoped engagements, and build the habit that keeps the pipeline running after the cohort.
Between sessions
You leave with: a proposal template and authority script, two referral relationships opened, and a 90-day sprint plan with day 30, 60 and 90 milestones.

FAQ
Still unsure? Start with the masterclass and get an honest read on where you stand.
About 32 hours over four weeks: a 90-minute live session each week plus 5 to 11 hours of individual work. Week 3 is the heaviest.
Start with the masterclass. If your runway score is a 1, the right move is to wait, and we will say so.
You can, but it takes longer. The peer pair, live critique and review of your deliverables are what make the four weeks work.
We won’t promise a date. Outbound can move in days, platforms take 1 to 6 weeks, communities build over a few months, and inbound takes 8 to 12 weeks. That is why all four start together.
We teach the method for setting a floor, target and premium rate for each rung of your ladder. We don’t publish market pay figures.
Then you won’t have a pipeline at the end. This is a build program.
No. It is a short orientation on vesting, cliffs and down-round protections. Talk to a lawyer before you sign.
Eight to twelve seats. Four weeks. A pipeline you built yourself. The founding cohort starts Fri, Oct 23, 2026.
