What this class is

The average business plan is about 30-50 pages according to the Small Business Association. Yikes! If you're a freelancer or solopreneur, writing 50 pages about your business takes time you don't have.

What if you could create everything you need to guide your business with just 10 pages in about 2 hours? This class covers the 5 most important planning documents for your business: a mission/vision/values statement, a market topography guide, a scope statement, a financial plan, and a marketing plan -- plus a bonus campaign planning template.

What you’ll walk away with

01
Write a one-page mission, vision and values document you'd actually hand someone.
02
Map your market's topography so you know who you're really competing with.
03
Put a scope statement in writing before the scope starts moving.
04
Leave with a financial plan and a marketing plan that fit on a few pages.
