Two Tenets of My Approach
1. Time is your most precious resource
Don't waste it! Once this basic concept is accepted, it will be infinitely easier to balance your work and life goals- by treating time as the valuable commodity it is.
2. Balance the 4 Pillars
The "pillars" of your life need to be in balance. When one area of your life is all consuming, the tendency is to neglect other aspects of your life, which will then suffer. Having said this- my focus is on the career/work/financial pillar.
What people think brings happiness (Thomas Aquinas)
Money
Power
Pleasure
Honor (prestige/fame)
What brings authentic happiness
Relationships/family: friends, family, colleagues, significant others
Health: physical and mental
Spiritual/Faith: a belief in something bigger than yourself
Career/work/financial: earn success, serve others, financial stability
The Process-New Business
A practical approach to starting a new business
I can provide guidence and direction on the tasks required, and the prioritization of those tasks.
Create a Business Plan which includes:
- Executive summary
- Market analysis (SWOT: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats))
- Description of company
- Product/service description
- Marketing plan (define target customer-key)
- Operational plan
- Key management bios
- Financial plan (CASH FLOW key)
- Risk analysis/competitive analysis
- Funding request (if applicable)
Structural tasks
- Decide on legal structure
- Choose and register business name (domain available)
- Apply for any permits, licences, insurance
The above are the general components of a business plan. If you want to dive right into defining your target market and the buyer profile you are targeting, or dig into a competitive analysis, or other, that is what we will do.
