find the reasons they are in business and bringing those things to
the surface.
There
will be very frank and meaningful discussion on why they are in
business, what they want to get out of their business and what they
want their business legacy to be.
In
this program, Stacey will show listeners how to create not just a
“Business Plan” but also a management plan, which will help them
navigate the difficult waters of small business ownership.
He will begin by getting to the fundamental reason they chose
to get into business. In
this process he will help draw out the listeners passion and core
values and translate them into a vision for their business.
Then Stacey will guide them through the process of taking
those core values and creating personal and business goals.
From
these goals he will show how to begin laying out a business plan,
which reflects their core values and leads them to realizing their
goals. These goals will be implemented into the marketing and
financial portions of the business plan.
The
program will move into a discussion of how to create and implement a
marketing plan, which reflects the owner’s business purpose and
supports the financial plan. It
is the marketing plan, which drives and supports the financial plan.
As
the financial plan is discussed, Stacey will help listeners
understand how their financial goals are realized and how they are a
reflection of the goals they created at the beginning of the
process.
Students should leave this class with a good understanding of the
core components of the business plan.
More importantly they should leave with the realization their
business plan is a reflection of who they are and what they want to
achieve in their business.
