Feedback from Audience Participants:

"You get a rave review for promoting a model planning system that works in the real world.

I thoroughly enjoyed and learned a vast amount in your workshop on “The One Page Business Plan:  Business Planning for the Real World". I have been in private practice of chiropractic for over 8 years and have never had a business plan. Within the past four months I have been preparing my business plan, you know the one that is 40 pages long and collects dust once it is written. Your workshop could not have come at a better time for me since writing my business plan has been a struggle and a chore.
 
WOW! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the material you shared. After preparing my nightmare of a business plan “The One Page Business Plan” is frosting on the cake of business plan writing. It was easy to understand, easy to work through in the workshop and easy to implement on my own. The next day I spent 4 hours on the material and churned out my very FIRST business plan that is now usable in guiding my decision making and all parts of business. As far as I am concerned there is no other way to do a business plan.    
 
I am so excited about this process I am looking forward to the next class so I can send my staff.
 
We as a team will be able to implement “The One Page Business Plan” into every department in our small business.
 
Thank you, Joy for two of the most valuable hours I have spent in a workshop helping me to prepare my business plan to success!"
