7/1/2022 0 Comments The SECRET She Didn't KnowCAN YOU RELATE?
She had a great idea for a business! Or she thought maybe she did. But...Every time she sat down to think about the business and write some things down she lost all sense of direction thinking about all the things. She didn’t know where to start. She looked at a couple of places to rent and had even gone to talk to a bank once but they wanted a business plan… and that looked complicated. Even though a business plan would give her some much needed and desired direction, somehow she believed it was complicated...mysterious even. Wasn’t there someone who could offer some guidance on that? And the financial projections… overwhelm. Completely overwhelming. She didn't know where to start, or how. It wasn't fear of failure, or "perfectionism" holding her back-- no. It was simply not knowing where or how to start. She didn't know how EASY it could be made. She didn't know THIS ONE SECRET that I'm about to share. When she looked around and saw so many successful, cool, and fun businesses in her community she just knew she wanted to be part of it-- that her business could bring herself and others a similar kind of satisfaction and joy. She just didn’t know how to get started. YES! FINALLY! One day she saw a social media post about a local organization that helps people start and grow their businesses. FOR FREE. So she made an appointment. We, here at AADC were able to coach and guide her through the business plan, and help her with cashflow projections, and refer her to others, and really get her actions and goals aligned so she could kick some @$!. Oh yeah and we have a bazillion resources and contacts for all kinds of services. We are well connected. Soon we were all able to see her vision become a reality. If you can relate, and want a hand, give us a call, drop a message in the comments or send us a message.
