Business Development Program Overview

Part 1: Developing a Business Plan: Planning is Power

In this two-hour session, Laura will show why business plans are for more than just getting funding and why and how to write an effective business plan that will help set your business apart from others and position you up for success!

PART 2: PICK YOUR NICHE AND EXPAND YOUR MARKET

Who are you marketing to? If you can’t give a specific answer to that question right away, you need to define your target audience. Good marketing caters to specific customers. Knowing who those folks are can help you better perform marketing to your fullest potential and increase the number of clients and profits you get faster.

We’ll cover:

  • Why it is critical to home in on your niche market
  • How to home in on your niche market
  • What questions to ask to clarify your niche market

PART 3: FINANCIALS – MAKING NUMBERS YOUR SUPERPOWER!

Numbers can scare many people away from being clear and accurate about the money for their business. Too often people don’t know how much they have, what it’s being spent on, and how they can earn a profit. Creating a budget is critical always, but especially during uncertain and challenging times.

Join us for this session on budgeting basics to:

  • Identify/Develop and set your financial goals
  • Examine how financial values come into play
  • Discuss basic budgeting terminology and principles
  • Estimate your income and expenses
  • Set your financial strategy and priorities
  • Explore tools to develop your budget and cash flow projections
    • Proforma
    • 12-Month Cash flow projections
    • 3-Year Cash flow projections
  • Discuss ways for you to track your financial health and progress

PART 4: IMPOSTER SYNDROME – MAKE IT! DON’T FAKE IT!

Are you listening to an endless tape in your head about not being good enough? Have you ever felt that you don’t belong? Do you always over-prepare and still dread failing? Are you reluctant to ask for help, fearing you will be considered incompetent if you don’t do it all? Do you worry that they will soon realize that you are just a fraud? Do you often doubt yourself — despite your evident successes? Do you attribute your success to luck or effort versus your ability?

If you are a high-achieving business owner or entrepreneur, chances are you can relate. Attend this workshop to learn things you can do to overcome your feelings of imposter syndrome!

PART 5: KNOW WHAT TO CHARGE – YOU’RE WORTH IT!

You’ve started your coaching business, and now you are meeting with a prospective client. One of the biggest questions they have is what will it cost them to hire you? Suddenly, you become sweaty and nervous as you think, “What DO I charge?”

One of the most basic rules in any successful negotiation is to truly understand your value and self-worth. Knowing exactly what skills and abilities you bring to the table each day and how they compare to others performing a similar job, will give you an important edge.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • Why consultants undersell themselves
  • How to properly value your services
  • Ways to implement a pricing increase
  • Tips to build your credibility and brand

PART 6: YOUR PITCH TO GET MORE FUNDING

Grabbing your audience’s attention is hard enough, but then you have to keep their attention. How do you succinctly describe your organization and make a compelling pitch for their support? How do you keep a donor engaged while meeting online?

  • How to Write an Elevator Pitch
  • Tailoring your pitch to specific audiences
  • How to ask donors for support
  • How to make a pitch that feels authentic to *you

PART 7: MARKETING STRATEGIES TO GET YOU AHEAD

So much content tells you what to do, but most of it neglects to teach you how to do it. Learn everything from “what” to “how” with the actionable, practical, and realistic advice you’ll find in this workshop.

PART 8: TIME MANAGEMENT – IT’S NOT JUST FOR NERDS!

Or, maybe you’re finding it difficult to have a work/life balance that fits with you and your family needs. We can all feel overwhelmed, but with the right effort you can stay productive while taking care of yourself and your loved ones.

Bring clarity, direction, and purpose to your coaching practice! Gain more clients and gain them more quickly. Use these techniques to get out of feeling overwhelmed, “analysis paralysis,” and procrastination.

Goal setting is one of the most basic and essential skills someone can develop.

Remote work has enabled the gig economy to flourish, powered by the convenient freelance marketplaces where everybody and I mean everybody can get the expert help they need when they need it and only spend what they can afford.

In this workshop, you will learn:
