Power Up Your Business Profits With a Painless Plan
The idea of writing a business plan can make many small business owners long for something less painful—such as a root canal. There is no need for such dread, according to local business coach Maria Marsala, creator of the “Power Up Your Business Profits!” workshop. “Creating a plan for your business can be a fun and painless process. Most small business owners keep their plans in their own heads,” says Marsala. “The One Page Business Plan® process helps you get your plan on paper so you can make it a reality.”

The idea of writing a business plan can make many small business owners long for something less painful—such as a root canal. There is no need for such dread, according to local business coach Maria Marsala, creator of the “Power Up Your Business Profits!” workshop. “Creating a plan for your business can be a fun and painless process. Most small business owners keep their plans in their own heads,” says Marsala. “The One Page Business Plan® process helps you get your plan on paper so you can make it a reality.”
Marsala is teaming up with Heavenly Choices to offer the workshop to alternative health practitioners on October 6, 2005, from 6:30-9 PM. The workshop is based on the best-selling The One Page Business Plan® a workbook by Jim Horan, based on his work as a CFO of Fortune 500 companies.
“The leading cause of small business failure is inadequate planning,” says Marsala. In this workshop, Marsala, licensed The One Page Business Plan® consultant, will lead you through the process of turning your good intentions into a very concise, yet very powerful business tool. These deceptively simple business plans include a marketing plan and ways to monitor your business success. “I so strongly believe in the One-Page process that once my clients complete theirs, I send them a frame to put them in. I want it to be the first thing they see when they go into their offices each day!" chuckles Marsala.
“Many business owners believe they don't need a business plan unless they are seeking funding," Marsala says. “Having a plan is even more important when it is YOUR money, your dreams, and your livelihood at risk." You probably don’t need a 25-page plan that will gather dust on a shelf. “Your One Page plan will help you get real about your business, make better decisions and prioritize your activities,” Marsala says. If you do seek investor funding then you do need a larger plan to bring to the bank. You can save yourself time and aggravation by creating a One Page Business Plan first and using it as the Executive Summary of the larger plan."
The Power Up Your Business Profits! Workshop is $12 and will be held at 19020 Front Street, Poulsbo. To pre-register call Eileen Angilletta or Susan Johnson at 360-697-6765.
