What this workshop is
This is a hands-on entrepreneurship session designed to help you launch a new business or scale an existing one. You will leave with a written plan you can build from—not just ideas.
Goal: Leave with a written Business Plan (start-up) or Expansion Plan (existing business) that’s clear enough to share with strategic and/or financial partners.
Format: Guided exercises + templates + peer feedback + next-step commitments.
What you’ll walk away with
- A “Plan on Paper” business plan or expansion plan
- Your next 3 action steps (with dates)
- A simple 90-day execution focus (what you’ll do weekly)
- Connection to trusted business resources
Who should attend
- Aspiring entrepreneurs and side-hustlers ready to get serious
- Small business owners looking to grow revenue, customers, or operations
- Anyone who wants more structure, clarity, and accountability
What to bring
- Your business idea (or current business info)
- A notebook or laptop
- Optional: any existing plan, notes, or rough numbers
Quick pre-work (2 minutes)
To help us tailor the workshop and connect you to the right resources, please be ready to answer these during registration (and in your confirmation email):
- Where are you starting? (idea / side hustle / existing business)
- In one sentence, what business are you building (or growing)?
- What is your main goal for the next 90 days?
- What do you most want to leave with? (choose up to 2)
- What’s your biggest obstacle right now?
- Will you attend three monthly follow-up check-ins (virtual)?
- How did you hear about this workshop?
(Optional, if you have time)
8) Who is your customer and what problem do you solve?
9) Do you already have a written business plan?
10) Are you seeking funding in the next 12 months?
Follow-up accountability (3 months)
We’re building “stickiness” into this workshop. After Feb 21, you’ll be invited to three monthly group check-ins (virtual) to:
- share progress,
- get unstuck, and
- connect to resources and support.
(Dates and RSVP links will be emailed to registrants.)
Important note (training-focused)
This is a training and educational workshop—not a sales or prospecting event.
No pitches from the stage and no lead collection during the session. We’re here to learn, plan, and take action.
