Q4 Strategic Business Planning & Networking

“You can get what you want if you plan and commit to it” -Ceylan Boyce (founder AWE)

Join an award-winning SME strategist & coach to plan your second quarter, tackle your toughest challenges, identify your key goals and discover the top strategies to reach them.

“This was exactly what I needed in my business right now.”

Your business has ups and downs. It often falls into the feast and famine cycle.

One minute, you have more work than you can handle; the next, you’re frantically looking for your next client.

When you get caught in this loop it can feel unstable. Everything seems wobbly and unsure. You often feel stuck in a never ending cycle.

So what do you do? You focus on the clients, the sales, the work, going at a hundred miles an hour to get sh*t done.

And the cycle starts again.

So how do you stop it? How do you end the feast and famine?

How do you make sure you have a stable, growing business that will keep going even when you are spending time with your kids, on holiday or just enjoying life?

Ok, breathe…

You need to take a step back. You need to take the necessary breathing space to plan.

YOU have the power to take control this quarter.

Ready for that stable business growth? Let’s go.

Only 6% of women business owners hit their yearly goals. This is how you become one of them:

Success = (Clarity+Focus) x Momentum

Let’s break that down.

You need CLEAR, goals. You need FOCUSED actions. You need the MOMENTUM to keep on track.

Regular strategic planning is the only way to put this formula into action. Plan every 12 weeks, act on the plan, and grow the tide of momentum.

“The workshop for Academy for Women Entrepreneurs is PHENOMENAL.”

This is a bit of a humble brag. But we had to share.

Harriet was a freelance copywriter working morning, noon and night, trying to get every job she could. She put pen to paper whenever she good and was doing quite well at winning clients.

But there was a problem. She was so in the work that she struggled to see the bigger picture, and her work was stagnating. Where could she go next?

After attending one of our planning sessions, she left the above review. Yep, she literally called the workshop “PHENOMENAL”.

Now she’s doubled her income, and her business continues to grow. She’s even started to build a team.

The point is from one planning session, big things can happen.

So go on. Take that leap and reap the benefits.

Every business is unique, and every ambitious woman behind it has goals, ideas and dreams that need to be realised.

Whether that is to be the next greatest coach or simply to have more time with the family. Your goals lead directly to your business and, therefore, your actions and strategies.

We’re here to help you achieve them.

Here’s how it works:

1.Pre-planning

When you commit to growing your business, we commit to you. Pre-planning begins immediately upon reserving your spot.

Upon purchasing your ticket, you will receive an assessment form.

3.Post-planning

You’ve made it. You’re on track with your to-do list in hand. Now it’s all about momentum.

Q4 can be a whirlwind, can’t it? As a service business owner, you’re likely juggling an uptick in client demands while trying to wrap up the financial year and prepare for taxes. On top of that, there’s the challenge of setting goals for next year and keeping your clients engaged during the holidays. Balancing all this while managing stress and maintaining a work-life balance is no small feat. Let’s make this Q4 a triumph together!
