Ignite Your Business with a Powerful 90-Day Plan: Workshop & Lunch
Old Spaghetti Factory

Are you satisfied with your business results so far this year?

Do you feel focused and empowered in your business?

Do you wish you had specific goals and strategies to hit your revenue targets?

2018 is almost halfway over but there's still time to make 2018 your best year in business yet!

You’ve heard the saying: “Most businesses don’t plan to fail; they just fail to plan.” Well, it’s true. A winning sports team would never take the field or enter the arena without a game plan in place. Likewise, a business that operates without a plan operates is at a significant competitive disadvantage.

Businesses move so quickly these days that it's no longer feasible to create long-term strategic plans. What is most effective is creating a bold vision, 3-5 year goals, and a specific 90-day plan. These 90-day "sprints" are strategically designed to keep you on- track and focused to meet your goals.

Learn how to get the results you desire in your business by creating a Powerful 90-day Plan for your Third Quarter at the Ignite your Business Workshop.

During this workshop, we'll cover: The importance of having written goals for achieving your dreams How to overcome resistance and blocks to planning (we all have them!) How to create a functional plan that isn't overwhelming and will actually keep you on track! How to reverse engineer a plan to reach your revenue goals in 2018 How to create more joy and ease in your business while achieving your goals Creating a bold vision to take you even farther than you can imagine!

Attendees will receive lunch, our 90-Day Powerful Planning Guide, and Professional Technique to help you succeed with your business planning.

Date and Time: Friday, June 22, 2018 from 11:45 - 2:00 pm

Location: Old Spaghetti Factory (Clackamas) 12725 Southeast 93rd Avenue Clackamas, OR 97015

Tickets: $59 which includes lunch and a 90-day Powerful Planning Guide Seats are limited so register early!

Vision Planning for the Community-Minded
Collective Agency Downtown

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? And do you say things like, "I'm hoping someone will want to contribute to my project: it is for the public good"? Then this workshop is for you.

Saturday, September 20th, 10am-12pm. Alex Linsker, Catherine Poole, and Russ Finkelstein 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 where groups like “Collective Agency” started.

Whether a website, open source project, discussion group, nonprofit startup, 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.

Please RSVP. Plancast is best, so people can see you're coming. Email [email protected] or tweet @alexlinsker with any questions.
