You know you’re a right-brain entrepreneur if you respond with a resounding “YES!” to any the following questions:

  1. Do you hate the idea of writing a business plan, but know you need one?
  2. Do numbers numb you out?
  3. Do words like business plan, cash flow and balance sheet make your skin crawl?
  4. Would you rather have an MFA than an MBA?
  5. Do you have a big vision for your business but struggle with implementation?
  6. Do you prefer colors, images and feelings to spreadsheets, tables and templates?
  7. Do you want to make a positive impact with your business, but avoid the business side of your job?
  8. Do you feel like planning is boring, daunting or in the way of the “real work”?
  9. Are you turned off by the formality and nitty-gritty detail of traditional business plans?
  10. Do you believe there’s got to be a better way to run your business?

You are not alone. Believe me, I’m right there with ya! And I hear clients, workshop participants, and blog readers answer yes to questions like these all of the time. Sure, maybe your feathers may get ruffled when you hear the letters ROI, but that doesn’t mean you can’t artfully run a business.

So come join me and your fellow right-brain peeps while you get your business planning on in a way that works for you! At the Right-Brain Business Plan e-Course starting February 1st, you’ll craft a visual plan for your entrepreneurial success in 2010 and beyond. Oh come on… you know you’ve been putting of doing your plan. With this e-course you’ll finally get it done and you’ll have fun doing it!!

Right-Brain Business Plan Workshop Recap

On Sunday a fabulous group of creative women entrepreneurs gathered for my Right-Brain Business Plan workshop in Oakland.  We had a fun day full of visioning, play, movement, collaging, sharing, planning and learning.

I was so inspired by all of the participant’s creative visions for their business.  Most were expanding an existing business and finding ways to integrate their many passions and interests.  And some were looking for ways to transition into their idea full time.

The Right-Brain Business Plan puts just as much importance on the “how” as the “what.”  So when we started to dive into some of the left-brain details, we took a right-brain approach with visual Post-it Notes.  It made the planning much more accessible!

Unfortunately, one of the participants ended up getting sick and couldn’t attend at the last minute.  Not wanting to miss out on the fun, though, she e-mailed to let me know that she had her Right-Brain Business Plan, stickers, magazines and glue nearby for some bedside-business planning :) .

I love knowing that the this creative approach makes the planning process more fun.  And it’s such a treat to see when people are so passionately connected with their work.  I look forward to seeing how each of these creative women’s business vision unfolds.

Oh and, check out Muse Cube creator Gretchen Wegner’s post about the workshop.  Thanks, Gretchen for leading us in some energizing movement exercises and for the much needed Muse Cube breaks.

Right-Brain Business Plan Workshop

Pink asserts that the left-brain analytical skills which made people successful in the past are no longer enough to succeed. In this day and age, we also need to [...]
