Transitioning From the Corporate World to Self-Employment (Part 2)

Continued from yesterday... By 2030, there will be more self-employed people in the workforce that there will be full-time employees. Are you prepared for this new economy? Once you understand why you need a business plan, you’ve got to spend some time doing your homework by gathering the information you need to create one. Then it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get everything down on paper. There are seven essential sections of a business plan. Key elements of a great business plan include: 1. Business Concept; 2. Marketing & Sales Plan; 3. Organizational Plan; 4. Operating Plan; 5. Current Business Position & Outlook; 6. Major Achievements; 7. Financial Features. But a great business plan alone will not ensure business success. Much more importantly, there must be a process for Assessing where you are today, Assessing where you want to be in the future (by defining Mission/Vision/Values & aligning those with Goal Setting & Strategic Planning), then developing supporting Action Plans (the plans mentioned in #2, 3, & 4 above), and finally, implementing the processes and systems that will make the future state a reality. What’s interesting to note is that this Business Coaching process for organizations is not much different from the process for Life Coaching an organization. In fact, dynamic synergies result when you put the two processes together: Business Coaching a small to mid-sized organization with Life Coaching for the owner(s) and the management team. It turns out that, due to the organic nature of businesses, they respond much like a living organism. And when the living organisms that manage the organization are transforming along with it, amazing results are achieved. I have developed a unique, proprietary process for coaching both simultaneously. Thinking of starting your own business? Considering a transition from the corporate world to self-employment?
