Overwhelmed by the idea of a business plan or having to hire a lawyer ?

In this "Double-Whammy" evening, you’ll learn the 6Ps to a “Pain Free” Business Plan & Action Plan for Success,  and Learn the Basic Legal Steps You Can and Should Take Now to Protect Your Business and Brand! 

Part 1: Understand what a Mini Business Plan is, and why it is your road map to success! 

·        See why it will take you further in your vision and action than you have ever gone before!

·        Eliminate the confusion, fear and costs associated with having to do a full-blown traditional business plan.

·        Find out what pitfalls you will avoid when you have done a Mini Plan.

·        Walk away with a Template that you will fill out that guides you to identify the critical areas of your business;

·        . . . and an Action Plan for Success that you can implement immediately, so your business is on track, focused and growing in those areas in the next 30 days.

The Mini Business Plan-Action Plan for Success is an easy-to-implement tool that will help you get clear about where you are going with your business in the overall sense, and in the day-to-day. Quick and easy, you will actually enjoy preparing it, and reviewing it often, as you will be able to track your progress from idea into action, into reality.

You will learn how to do it yourself, and watch as at least 1 lucky person (possibly more if time allows) will get to be in the “Hot Seat” for a Bonus Free Laser Coaching Session, as they are guided through the Mini Business Plan exercises and get insights into their business.  

Part 2:  Understand What You Need to do Legally to Protect Your Hard Work, Business and Brand!

*   Want to know how you can protect your personal assets (like your house or your savings) from being lost in a lawsuit against your business?

* Want to protect all the creative energy and marketing efforts you’ve put into designing your logo and building your brand?

* Want to understand why and how to create contracts so that you are in the driver’s seat when you negotiate?

In part two of this information packed evening, you will learn:

    * The dangers of the "DBA" and what you should do instead;

    * The difference between a corporation and an LLC and determine which is best for your company;

    * The difference between copyright, trademark and patent and which ones you might need to protect different parts of your marketing material; and

    * What some of that “legal mumbo jumbo” you read in contracts really means and why it’s important to you and your company.

 

This class is ideal for women entrepreneurs who need:

• A simple step-by-step process to create a Mini Business Plan and Action Plan

·        To write, finish or implement a plan they’ve already started;

• A push forward and motivation for doing a plan

• Ideas for how to organize and get more accomplished in their day

• To learn whether a Corporation, LLC or Sole Proprietorship is best for them;

• To understand how Copyrights, Trademarks and Contracts can protect the time and money they’ve spent building their business and brand.
