Speaker B:

So in this one day experience.

Speaker B:

So it's designed to do in one day, you could do it over a series of a few days, but in this experience, we're going to help you gain clarity on exactly what you want to create in terms of a breakthrough.

Speaker B:

In the next twelve months, every business is ripe for a breakthrough.

Speaker B:

It's just a question of discovering what that is.

Speaker B:

Stepping off the hamster wheel of your business and focusing in homing in on the one thing that if you had a breakthrough there, it would make all the difference.

Speaker B:

So today in this series, we're going to help you do that.

Speaker B:

We're going to then help you create a path to get there.

Speaker B:

A very simple, streamlined plan, but a plan nonetheless that includes a certain level of complexity and then be able to take a really, really clear next actions to help you have potent results.

Speaker B:

So a business, as you know, is incredibly simple, right?

Speaker B:

Like, it's all right.

Speaker B:

So we create products, programs, systems, services that add value to the world and then we go out and we sell them.

Speaker B:

And if we're lucky, we can make a profit, right?

Speaker B:

So it's simple in nature, in context, but it's also really deeply complex.

Speaker B:

Every single business has its unique blueprint, its unique facets, strengths and weaknesses.

Speaker B:

So in this one day workshop, we're going to home back to the most simple and most essential building blocks and get those moving and then be able to help you craft a system ongoing.

Speaker B:

So we're going to have a one day business acceleration retreat.

Speaker B:

You're going to craft your twelve month breakthrough plan and then you're going to launch a weekly acceleration meeting.

Speaker B:

And in that process, you're going to develop some quick wins.

Speaker B:

Start to really have clarity, move your team in a particular aligned direction where results are going to occur, new results, progress.

Speaker B:

So this one day workshop is a way to lift off quickly, easily.

Speaker B:

In the process, you're going to envision a better future.

Speaker B:

So in episodes two through four, you're going to unleash your core purpose, unlock your company vision, and discover what your most needed breakthrough is.

Speaker B:

Then, in episodes five through nine, you're going to build an actionable plan.

Speaker B:

Actionable is key here, and that's in episodes five through nine.

Speaker B:

So you're going to conduct a simple swot.

Speaker B:

You're going to strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Speaker B:

You're going to design a quarterly map.

Speaker B:

You're going to chart your 30 day goals.

Speaker B:

You're going to establish key performance indicators and design a weekly dashboard.

Speaker B:

Okay?

Speaker B:

So that's all part of the actionable plan.

Speaker B:

And so it's not just words that you put on a page and then you think about them some other day.

Speaker B:

These are specific things that are going to help you actually take action and move forward.

Speaker B:

And then in the last episode, episode number ten, you're going to launch the weekly acceleration meeting, which is what's going to keep it all going, and we're going to provide you support along the way, and it'll help you to manifest your next envision future and use the same recipe over and over again.

Speaker B:

So today I invite you to set aside three to five uninterrupted hours to complete the workshop.

Speaker B:

Do it alone, or do it with your team, or have your team do it by themselves and then meet together and then discuss it.

Speaker B:

That's a great way to do this.

Speaker B:

Making progress one thing I want to just say about this is the whole force for good system is really about rapid innovation.

Speaker B:

It's about creating a space where it's safe to try things, create a draft that's not perfect, and then come back to it and iterate and improve it.

Speaker B:

So this is designed to help you quickly create a design and a plan and a map and a future, a breakthrough.

Speaker B:

And then you're going to be able to iterate over time.

Speaker B:

Progress, not perfection, is the name of the game.
