Business Owners Support & Strategy
BOSS is a workshop series that supports individuals to launch, re-launch, expand or pivot their business with a coherent strategy.
The Business Plan
BOSS consists of twelve one-to-one mentoring sessions in which we explore each section of your business plan and important areas of self-discovery for a whole person process. There are nine business planning modules. We start with Purpose and then work through each part of the Business Plan – Values, Customer, Competition, Brand, Marketing, Numbers, Cogs (Legals, Logistics, Team) to support business owners and leaders.
