The average business plan is about 30-50 pages according to the Small Business Association. Yikes!

If you’re a freelancer or solopreneur, writing 50 pages about your business and all the things you “plan” to do will take up so much time you’ll have none left to find clients!

What if you could create everything you needed to effectively guide your business with just 10 pages in around 2 hours?

It’s time to get real. Bootstrapping freelancers and solopreneurs don’t need crazy-long documents. What they need are actionable plans like trail maps that point you in the right direction. When’s the last time you saw a 50-page trail map?

In this class, we’ll cover the 5 most important planning documents you need to have at the start of your business: a 1 page financial plan, a 2-3 page marketing plan, a 2-3 page market topography guide, a 1-2 page statement of services/pricing/scope, and a 1-page mission/vision/values statement. As a special bonus, I've also included my marketing campaign planning template.

For our math-challenged friends, that’s about 10 pages MAX. I’ll guide you through each step in the process, walking you through the exact same documents I’ve created for my own business.

And, just like how trail maps don’t stay valid forever, your business plan sure won’t either. Everything we create will be designed to last about 6-months before you’ll want to review and update.

Ready to have a business plan that’s both useful and makes sense? Let’s get started.
