You Don’t Need A Business Plan

A business plan is a funding instrument. If you're not seeking outside capital right now, you don't need a 40-page document. What you need is a working compass and probably some honest perspective from people who aren't inside your head.

That's what this is.

Most business advice is built around a fairly specific kind of entrepreneur: someone scaling fast or motivated primarily by revenue. If that's not you, the frameworks were never going to land. The map was drawn for someone else.

If you’ve already sat through a handful of workshops and tried to apply the templates later at home, then you know a lack of information is not the problem.

The bottleneck is translation: taking what you know and converting it into a clear decision in your specific context, under your specific pressures, with your actual capacity. That part the frameworks skip entirely.

This lab is built around that gap.

What we’ll do

During the 60-minutes, we’ll work on a collaborative activity with one consistent prompt. It sounds simple, but what tends to happen is that people add something they couldn't see before with each iteration of the prompt.

You can’t observe the label from inside the jar. This lab gives you the space and people to push your thinking in ways you can’t alone.

And that's the point.

This lab is probably for you if:

• Something about the traditional business planning process has always felt off but you couldn't name why
• You know what you're supposed to do and still can't quite make the move
• You've been carrying the weight of this idea for a while and could use a room that gets it
