Making your plan “b”
your Plan “A”
6-Week Academy Course
Women’s Business Roundtable
Week 1
The Why.
Meet virtually with your assigned accountability partner to understand your business that has been developed and/or proposing to be developed. Understanding the “why” behind selecting this business. What is the driver for this business? What gets you up in the morning? What is the motivation that will keep you moving forward when you cannot sleep at night due to business concerns and challenges?
Week 2
The Commitment.
Homework: The business plan becomes more than a plan when you put the content on paper. It is the beginning of actuality; it becomes the commitment. This session provides the content (outline of topics) to be included in your business plan.
Week 3
The Work.
Meet virtually with your accountability partner to discuss components of your plan and discuss where obvious gaps are. Does your business plan succinctly describe your business, while it positions the brand to customers, possible investors, and partners? Does the marketing content of your plan address new customers and/or the retention of customers? Does your revenue model address financial assumptions and challenges regarding how your business is to make money? How does your plan address the human capital current and future needs? Accountability partners will take time to review your plan and provide additional information regarding content that may be needed in your plan.
Week 4
The Adjustments.
Homework: Review your updated plan and make any additional changes that were a result of the last meeting and recommendations submitted by your Accountability Partner. While there is not an assigned time to speak with your Accountability Partner this week, calls should be made to verify statements and clarify any questions and feedback given by your Accountability Partner.
Week 5
The Review.
Meet virtually with your Accountability Partner to review what should be your completed business plan. To ensure it is written professionally and presented in a pleasing and marketable fashion.
Week 6
The Plan.
Meet virtually with the Good Vibes Roundtable to finalize your business plan. Meet with other business owners who can provide feedback and recommendations to your plan.
