The New Economy

Item Description

Have you been thinking about branching out and starting your own business? To do so, you need to know the why, what and how to grow and thrive.

If so, now's your chance!

Work with not one, but two coaches to:

- Clarify your business concept and mission 
- Assess the challenges and opportunities in your current or prospective business plan
- Develop strategy and identify implementation stages

This intensive program provides you with two coaches and is fast-paced to ensure cohesive answers and momentum. Establish the foundation for your company's goals and strategy by succinctly defining your mission, vision and values. At the conclusion of this program, you will receive a business summary document clearly outlining your company's "why, what and how." The business summary is a road map for your unique venture's next steps and growth.

Clients who succeed with this program are:
- Professionals new to private sector business
- Professionals with an existing business desiring growth and/or diversification in current market/expertise
- Experienced business owners seeking to shift into a new venture/project/market/expertise

Typically, this program takes 8 - 10 weeks. It includes 6 formal/scheduled calls with one or more consultants leading the call. There are additional coaching and guidance calls as needed to help clients maintain momentum and focus. Thus, the program is results-driven, not necessarily by time or number of sessions.
