Economy-Proofing Your Business will show you how to stay up in a down economy, motivate yourself, and help you achieve your goals quicker and easier than ever before.

Gone are the days of creating a plan that does nothing for your company except collect dust on the shelf. The secret is out! Now you can learn how to write a clear, concise, and understandable plan, too. More than 250,000 CEOs, presidents, executive directors, executives, and the best managers across the globe use it. And guess what -- Oprah uses it too!

The One Page Business Plan® is a business and marketing plan system that you will use daily to help you run a well-oiled business, department, or company. The process links five very important business-building concepts: brainstorming, planning, execution, accountability and results.

In this best practices briefing, you will:

  • Discover a 5-part comprehensive planning process that provides focus, focus, focus on what's important, and helps set daily priorities.
  • Learn the 5 simple questions every business and marketing plan needs to answer to get focused, earn more, and be more productive.
  • Take home a draft of your business vision statement.

Start 2009 off on the right leg. Get your vision statement done at this class.

What You'll Receive

  1. Copy of the audio of the class after the session
  2. Vision Statement template and two page cheat sheet of notes
  3. Maria's 3 assessments to determine what best business practices are you missing or very strong in, are you really marketing to your ideal clients (or not), and is your business leaking money.
  4. Two extra bonus assessments: Clean Sweep Stress From Your Life and Recession Proofing Your Business.
  5. An article called "Are You Dumbing Down" and Is your bottom line suffering because of it?
  6. Maria will critique some vision statements during the class and others after the class by email, free of charge.

"The One Page Business Plan is an out and out winner. Period. It makes great sense to me as a so-called 'business thinker'. But the acid test was applying it to a start-up I co-founded. We spent several days drafting our one pager - and have been editing it ever since. It is a powerful, living document, the very nature of which has led us to important new insights. One Page Business Plan = the proverbial better mousetrap!" Tom Peters, Author
Thriving on Chaos and Co-Author of In Search of Excellence

"I've accomplished more in 5 months than I did the entire previous year. And my income doubled from last year! I feel more focused now, too."
Joan Runnheim, Career Strategist
Pathways Career, Hudson, WI

"Aha moment! I realized that the reason my business hasn't excelled is because I was just taking anything that came my way. I had no clear vision, no business plan, no marketing tools and no direction. Maria, you inspire me and my business to be the best we can be. You are a source of inspiration." Betsy Padilla, Events Planner
