The following graphic
shows the overall process we follow.
Did you know that
approximately 80% of all business started will stay
small, with one to four employees? These are great
businesses and America needs them all to succeed,
especially for those people who want or need the
independence to raise their family, or to gain a little
extra money each month, or just want more control over
their destiny.
If all you want to do is
start a three to five person company, do you need a
two-inch business plan? Absolutely not, you need a plan
that fits you and your business, not the academic
requirements of some organization that never started a
business. You can
purchase one of our books,
or attend a class, it is your choice.
To help answer the
question, Should I Start a Business, we have a two-hour
class called, “Intro to Business”. It
walks you through the process of answering some
difficult questions about yourself and your financial
strength and provides a budget you can develop to
determine if now is the best time to start your
business. For only two hours of your time, and $50.00
you can answer this important, first question.
If, after you complete
this first class you decide, yes, I want to do this, you
can take the second class called,
“Business
Feasibility”. This class digs into the
social/business skills you bring to your business and
helps you determine if they are sufficient for success.
It then addresses the marketing information you will
need to help determine the viability of your business
idea, and helps you understand and project the money
necessary to get started properly. For only four hours
of your time, and $150.00 you can answer this important,
second question.
If the Business
Feasibility results show you should proceed with
a business then you have one of two paths to follow:
-
You
can purchase a book called “How To Start A
Business In Colorado” , or whatever state you
reside, (available here online or at a local
bookstore)
-
You
can proceed onto the next phase of building your
business and start on a business plan
The choice is yours.
If your desire is to build
a small business and hire one or two people then buy the
book, get a little advice from us and get started.
If your desire is to build
a larger business that will ultimately hire several
people or operate in more than one area then you should
consider taking the next course “Business
Planning”. This course includes the software
you need to build a business plan, plus three hours of
one-to-one coaching from a business expert. The class
only lasts four hours, you get the software, and the
three hours of coaching for only $250.00. You can also
just
purchase our Business Plan PRO
software if you would rather, and again, it is your
choice.
