A side venture by one person, for the people who already have enough on their plate.
Prosper With Nae is a small line of downloadable workbooks — planners, business kits, finance tools — priced for a real routine, not a guru funnel.
Side venture. Real routine. Planner at heart, tinkerer by night. Built the tools she couldn’t find for under $40.
How this started
Prosper With Nae is run by Janae Derden as a side venture. The shop exists because the spreadsheets and planners she needed did not, and the ones closest to right were $40+.
The first workbook was a budget she kept rewriting in Excel because nothing on the market taught zero-based budgeting without selling a course on the back of it. The second was an onboarding packet, because the moment a client lands, the work after the work is what actually eats your week.
Every product on the site is something she uses herself — run on a Sunday night, filled in during the week, filed away when it is done. Not a manifesto. Not a system that needs a six-week boot camp. The kind of thing you would ask a friend who keeps a budget to lend you.
Three pillars, one reason each
The shop is organized around the three places most people stall: keeping a routine, growing a side venture, and staying on top of their money. None of them are optional.
Make the daily clutter feel manageable.
Quarterly planners, weekly reset sheets, and Sunday-review prompts. Built so that one page a week can hold the whole week — without the aspirational ceiling that makes you stop filling it in by Thursday.
Run the side venture like a real one.
Onboarding packets, intake forms, and pricing workbooks so the client-facing parts stop eating the hours you should be billing. Written for a one-person operation, not a six-person agency.
Keep the numbers honest, every month.
Zero-based budgets, sinking-funds trackers, debt-paydown plans, and a flagship vision-meets-wealth workbook. The unglamorous middle of any plan that actually ships.
What you can expect
No fluff, no upsell.
Each workbook is a single PDF with the prompts you need, priced like a paperback, not a course. There is no funnel on the other side of it.
A friend who keeps a budget, not a guru.
If a feature does not earn its page, it does not ship. The point is for the workbook to get used, not to drown the reader in optionality.
Every product is something Janae runs herself.
Nothing in the shop is theoretical. If you bought the same workbook a year ago and it still does the job, that is the only review that matters.
