How She Did That

If the words "business plan" makes you want to curl up in the fetal position, you're not alone. When I owned my group fitness & dance studio, I vividly remember compiling dozens upon dozens of data docs and other papers to prep my business plan. Frankly, it was overwhelming and, once it was done, I never looked at it again.

Thankfully, the business plan we're talking about today is NOTHING like that! I'm joined by my amazing friend Emma Bates of Mill and Main Creative. In addition to her online marketing and branding company, Emma blogs at EmmaLeeBates.com, where she focuses on helping other mothers start and grow their own businesses. Today, Emma is walking us through her one page business plan.

We'll cover...

>> Why this is NOT your grandma's business plan.

>> The 6 questions that you'll cover to create a plan that's implementable.

>> Why this roadmap will work WITH you as you grow and pivot.

Emma has a special bonus for all of you so check it out on my website!
