Right Brain Business Plan

You don't have a business plan and you know you need one, but doing the dishes, dealing with loads of laundry, or even getting a head start on next year's taxes all sound way more appealing (ugh!).

As business owners, we have the best of intentions to sit at the computer and write up our plan. Instead we get stuck, overwhelmed, demotivated or even paralyzed with where to start. 

You already have a business plan but it's just not relevant any longer or let's just say it's boring. Breathe new life into your BIG vision! 

I get it! Honestly. Knowing your numbers can be brain and body numbing. It's scary to know exactly where you stand with your funds and setting a budget. 

Creating budgets and keeping track of inventory can be heavy. It's constant data entering, cross referencing, double checking. It can take up all your time and keep you away from the more enjoyable things in life. 

Finding that your're not in alignment with your BIG vision and life goals, redefine your business plan while connecting into your intuitive, authentic, expressive self to live your most creative and abundant life ever. 

Each week will start with a 3 hour session using a Zoom meeting link. You'll be interacting with the live in-person session. There will be a presentation slide show with lots of creative work time for playsheets and assignments. Prior to each session, the playsheets and any other files needed will be emailed to you. There will be juicy reading material between sessions. Sessions will be recorded and will be available for all participants. 

You're on time, all of the time! The course is meant to jumpstart your planning process and to help provide a structure to guide you along. If you're not able to complete all of the assignments each week, don't stress out - you can do them all on your own time. Plus there is always the Check-In Catalyst Chat option for short term support and accountability. 

You will need a copy of the book The Right Brain Business Plan: A Creative Visual lMap for Success to follow along with the program which is included in your tuition cost. 

Technical requirements (only for online options): A computer, reliable internet access, Facebook account, and the ability to watch online videos, listen to MP3 files, and view PDFs. In addition, you'll need a phone or computer to call into the Zoom sessions. We also recommend you to print out the illustrated playsheets in color for maximum creative inspiration, so a color printer is ideal. You may want to have a digital camera or scanner to document and post your visual plan, but that's optional.

Supplies (online only): We'll be doing various creative activities, so here are the basic types of supplies we'll use - paper, pens, markers, magazines, scissors, glue, post-it-notes, but you're encouraged to use whatever materials that inspire you! 

Remember in-person workshops supply basic art supplies. Good to have an open mind and willingness to have fun!

We know many creative entrepreneurs have a plethora of passions. If you have multiple businesses or business ideas, we suggest focusing on one business as you go through the exercises. It will keep things more simple and manageable for you. Once you go through the process for one, it'll be easier to repeat it again for the next. When you're done you can look at both plans to see the big picture of your creative enterprise.

The Right Brain Business Plan process can be used to flesh out a specific new product or service you're wanting to offer or to explore how you will take your business to the next level. You'll learn tools and techniques for approaching your business from a fresh perspective. If you've been feeling bored by your business or you've lost connection with your authentic expression, this course will give you the creative spark you need.

As your licensed Right Brain Business Plan facilitator I will be supporting you in the course through the weekly 3 hour sessions, private Facebook group facilitation, and Catalyst Chats. I'll be your friendly companion and ally who will guide you through the creative business planning process and I'll offer lots of passionate inspiration along with practical information. I'm there to answer your questions as best as I can, point you to additional resources, challenge you to stretch yourself, and facilitate group sharing and learning. 

Show up: Engage yourself fully in the process. Read the materials, join in the 3 hour weekly sessions, do your assignments, and engage on the private Facebook group. You know! Participate actively in the community. The more you put in to this experience, the more you'll get out of it.

Be curious: Ask questions and be willing to try new things, learn, and venture outside your comfort zone.Offer feedback: If something isn't quite working, please let me now, offer a suggestion, and/or make a specific request and I'll do my best to address your concern. 

This is a two-way street and we're co-creating our experience together, so I invite you to share your insights.the beginning of each week, you'll receive an e-mail and/or Facebook group with links to that week's assignments.  

You'll also receive a mid-week and end-of-week check-in with additional exercise and suggested challenges. We encourage you to post your homework to our private Facebook group by the end of each week - not only will it help hold you accountable, but you'll also get to be supported and inspired by your fellow creative cohorts.

The private Facebook group will be available for paid participants during our time together plus a few weeks after the course concludes to give you some extra time to catch up on conversations and posts. There will be several prompts posted throughout each week between our 3 hour sessions. We can share what we are working on, where we are getting stuck, and build a creative community together. 

Zoom recordings of each session will be posted in the group for you to watch and download. After the course ends the private Facebook group will be archived so you'll still have unlimited access to stream the videos and download the reading materials.

The course registration fee is non refundable. And all payments are due in full. Before you sign-up, please make sure you’re fully committed to participating in and completing the course. If you need more information to help you make a solid decision, contact us with your questions.
