About this Workshop
Have you been walking around with a juicy idea for a business venture or project but you’re stalling in your progress? Maybe the what-ifs and doubts sound too loud or you’re not sure where to start. Maybe you’re not feeling stuck in your process, but you want to make some big moves quickly.
In this one hour workshop you’ll create a straightforward launch plan for your idea that will have you quickly connecting with your ideal customers and audiences. You’ll learn to recognize when you're using extensive planning and research work as procrastination or protection from failure, and how to sidestep the habits that are slowing you down. You’ll leave the workshop with clarity about your next steps, excitement to move forward, and strategies to stay accountable to your plan.
This workshop offers a blend of coaching and guidance (i.e. Here's Step 1, here's Step 2 ... ) – it’s designed for you to be introspective and recognize habits that do or do not help you; and get into the details about how to launch your idea quickly. All are welcome including entrepreneurs; leaders of businesses, teams, and organizations; and people with ideas for personal passion and side projects.
