We know non-profits have boards, and we have all joined a few masterminds, read some small business books, and try to constantly learn. But the truth is, sometimes you need outside perspectives to get clearer on where you want you and your business to go. Let us help by curating a boardroom of badass women to help think through your next business moves. Everyone will have reviewed your brand and your intake questionnaire prior to our boardroom meeting, and we will dig into your most pressing concerns, think through your expansion and potential new income streams, and brainstorm the shit out of ways to grow your business.
Because as The Entrepreneurial Myth teaches us,
“Simply put, your job is to prepare yourself and your business for growth. To educate yourself sufficiently so that, as your business grows, the business’s foundation and structure can carry the additional weight. “And as awesome a responsibility as that may seem to you, you have no other choice—if your business is to thrive, that is. “It’s up to you to dictate your business’s rate of growth as best you can by understanding the key processes that need to be performed, the key objectives that need to be achieved, the key position you are aiming your business to hold in the marketplace. “By asking the right questions, such as: Where do I wish to be? When do I wish to be there? How much capital will that take? How many people, doing what work, and how? What technology will be required? How large a space will be needed, at Benchmark One, at Benchmark Two, at Benchmark Three?
“Will you be wrong at times? Will you make mistakes? Will you change your mind? Of course you will! More often than not. But, done right, you will also have contingency plans in place. Best case, worst case. And sometimes you will simply fly by the seat of your pants; you will go with the flow, follow your intuition. “But all the while, even while you’re guessing, the key is to plan, envision, and articulate what you see in the future both for yourself and for your employees. Because if you don’t articulate it—I mean, write it down, clearly, so others can understand it—you don’t own it! And do you know that in all the years I’ve been doing this work with small business owners, out of the thousands upon thousands we’ve met, there have only been a few who had any plan at all! Nothing written, nothing committed to paper, nothing concrete at all.”
Cost: $1500. If you’re willing to share the boardroom table with one other woman entrepreneur, we encourage you to recruit someone to invest in this exceptional brainstorming and brand-informing experience with you and each of you would get a dedicated 1.5 hours.
