update Calagator::Event 1250461291 Write a One-Page Business Plan Roll back

description VISION: To host a "Write a One-Page Business Plan" workshop this month. Vision, Market Need, Team, Marketing, Operations, Finance. For social venture and business ideas. With ongoing support of people here. OPERATIONS: A two hour workshop, 10am-12pm, with people going to lunch afterward, and individuals and groups being here ongoing for support. Saturday Sept 24th. MARKET NEED: So many people could be better at describing what they want to do or are doing, in a page or less (defining priorities!). Why? For other people to know what the idea is, what the logistics are, and know what they can do to help, whether: investing, joining the team, helping grow the vision, advising, being a partner... FINANCIALS: Consultants/coaches/individuals can charge on their own if they'd like to, but this will start out free of charge with no cash costs. Each person who participates should expect to get something fulfilling out of it. The venue is for conversations, work, and events like this. TEAM: Alex Linsker will facilitate the event with other Collective Agency supporters, including @Cacophonous_Joy who specializes in Vision, and hopefully many new people. MARKETING: People will tell people, and RSVP via email, Plancast, Facebook or Twitter. Calagator and other events calendars. Please RSVP and tell friends and co-workers. Vision planning for people who want to do something for a community. Do you not yet have a vision statement written out, or would you like to tweak or revise? Then this workshop is for you. Saturday, September 20th, 10am-12pm. Alex Linsker and Catherine Poole will be the main facilitators and coaches of the workshop. The main questions about your vision: Where are you coming from? What phrasing describes the reason why you’re doing this? If related questions come up organically, we’ll explore. These questions are how groups like “Collective Agency” started. Whether a website, open source project, user group, nonprofit, or something else, the main focus of the people who show up will be for the benefit of a group or groups of people (the "community"). We’ll have fun and develop a vision planning community of our own. In 2 hours we will meet-and-greet (go around and say what we’re working on and what we’d like to happen with it), have a brief overview, then invest most of the time in one-on-one coaching in 15 minute sessions. Coaches will each bring a vision plan for something they’ve done. This event is free of charge. Coaching/mentoring/skill-sharing will be available here in the future with both free and paid options.
