THE ENTREPRENEUR’S TOOLBELT
When crossing the ocean, the modern day sailor does not leave without maps, compass, GPS etc.
The entrepreneur unfortunately often does. As entrepreneurs, we often feel confused, disorganized, unclear, stuck, behind schedule or just downright lost.
The reality is that there is a lot to juggle, many hats to wear. It’s tough to know where to focus.
The good news is that there are ways to help reduce this uncertainty and stress, much like the tools sailors use. We will explore these tools and systems in this workshop.
PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP
To provide the entrepreneur with tools and systems that guide and empower them to get the results they want out of their business.
DESCRIPTION
Get inspired. Get empowered. Get focused.
This two-part workshop presents many best practices and methodologies in planning, prioritization, and execution (including design thinking, performance excellence methodologies, agile, and more) in order to get you where you want to go. The key learnings aim to align your short term to long term and to give you tools to know that you are making the leaps forward. The benefits of using an approach like this is that you feel clarity, confidence, motivation, and get real results. All these compound and snowball over time.
