Dear Right-Brain Entrepreneur,

Does the thought of writing a business plan make you cringe? But you know you need a roadmap for your success?

Your creativity can lead the way!

Whether you’re a budding business owner or a seasoned entrepreneur…

You know how important it is to have clear goals and an action plan to achieve them. But traditional, left-brain tactics leave you overwhelmed, uninspired, and just plain stuck.

What if business planning could be fun, colorful, AND effective?

What if you had a group of like-minded heart-centered entrepreneurs who will share the path with you?

As a licensed Right-Brain Business Plan® facilitator, I’ll share with you an empowering, intuitive, and accessible entrepreneur approach based on my mentor Jennifer Lee’s best-selling book that has helped tens of thousands of creatives like you launch and grow their business.

Join my Right-Brain Business Plan® online Mastermind group, opening for new members, starting July 10- September  2020 (12 weeks)

You’ll roll-up your sleeves and craft a visual plan that lets your head know where your business is going AND inspires your heart to sing with joy.

You will journey with a wonderful small online facilitated coaching group of like-minded heart centered and creative entrepreneurs who will support you as you move forward this Fall and early Winter!

Finally get that business plan done AND set the stage for your best year yet as a creative entrepreneur!  Won’t you join us?

One of the best ways to work with me!

I’m purposely keeping this an intimate sized-group so that I can provide you with lots of personalized, hands-on support throughout the program. With 6 coaching calls, 3 catalyst chats (working side by side as a group), a bonus 2 hr group planning mastermind and a one to one coaching session with me, you’ll have plenty of live touch-points with me for real-time guidance. I’ll also be actively facilitating a private Facebook group so feedback and accountability from me are just a mouse-click away.
This online group is the perfect affordable alternative to my higher-priced individual coaching, so don’t miss out! Plus, you’ll get your own built-in circle of support to boot.

This group program is perfect for you if …

  • You don’t have a business planand know you need one, but doing dirty dishes, dealing with loads of laundry, or even getting a head start on next year’s taxes all sound way more appealing (ugh!)
  • You’ve tried to do a business plan the “traditional way”and you got stuck, overwhelmed, and demotivated
  • You already have a business plan, but you need to breathe new life into it
  • You can’t standspreadsheets and numbers
  • You feel alone in your journey and need a tribe of supportive entrepreneurs who inspire each other
  • AND you’d be a heck of a lot happierplanning your business in the same intuitive, authentic, and expressive way that you live your creative life (yes, indeed, it can be that fun and fulfilling!)

You get the following (and much, much more!) from this intensive program:

  • The RBBP online e-course with forever access to Jennifer Lee’s curriculum that includes videos and modules that take you through the creative business planning process step by step that you can use AT YOUR OWN PACE
  • The Modules contain detailed, do-able assignments…that deal with all the parts of a business plan, from start to finish like a full-fledged entrepreneur and….
  • Intuitive exercises and inspiring materials…that tap into your natural creative genius, transforming drudgery into joy
  • Guidance and insight…to help you finally complete your plan
  • Support and encouragement from others on the same path as you
  • You get full permission to show up as your full, authentic self in your business!

“If you don’t have a plan for your business, you need one. If you want to have fun learning how to develop a plan, take this course. This course takes the ‘scare factor’ out of creating a business plan!” Tracey Asai, Tracey Asai Designs, www.traceyasaidesigns.com

About the Mastermind coach and course facilitator – Susan Miller, PhD, LCMHC, NCC

I am an Artist, Expressive Arts Therapist, Certified Creativity Coach and Certified Kaizen-Muse™ Creativity Coach, Right Brain Business Plan® Facilitator, Entrepreneur Coach, and Certified Spiritual Director.

My passion is helping light the path of your life journey through coaching and facilitating luscious artful retreats and workshops that help light the path of your life journey.

My heart is to help creative and heart-centered entrepreneurs find their inner voice and follow their true desires for their life and business.

This journey needs to be filled with passion and joy, intuitive decision-making and practical, ease-filled strategies to get where you want to go. As a creative entrepreneur myself, I have found that the Right Brain Business Plan® online program has an awesome blend of the practical and the intuitive. And it really works! I have been a RBBPer since 2012, and as an associate coach with Jennifer Lee’s programs since 2014. I have coached and supported many creative entrepreneurs 1-1 and in groups, through Right Brain Business Plan® online programs, e-courses, and live workshops. The RBBP process is something that you will want to use over and over again, as you go through planning your business over the years.

One of the best gifts you can give yourself is to be a part of a group of like-minded creative entrepreneurs, study and participate in a tried and true business planning system that helps you access your inner intuition and actually get your business started, revamped, or transitioned. There is nothing like it, and it is so easy and fun to implement. It is an organic creative approach to mapping out your business goals that creates inspired action-planning. I have experienced this planning strategy time and time again as I have gone through transitions in my work and pursuing a more creative, sustainable and ease-filled business.

You can do this…and you will actually get excited and enjoy developing, changing, revamping or “what-evering” you want to pursue in your business. Even if you do not have a business but have a strong feeling inside about something you want to develop, you will find Right Brain Business Plan® Online Facilitated Home Study one of the greatest investments you will make.

I cannot wait to help you get started!

“I definitely appreciate the fact that this course emphasizes and acknowledges how important visuals are to the right brain person. This concept really helps me stay focused and interested in the planning process of my business. Phew! This is the furthest I have ever gone in the planning process. I typically don’t make it past reading the two words, ‘executive summary.” Lisa Hause, Lisa Hause Photography, www.lisahause.com

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the format of the e-course?

You will have a special link to access to the Right Brain Business Plan® Online Mastermind materials, with links to the module assignments. Each module will include a video, juicy reading materials, and creative exercises, plus some weeks will also have an MP3 audio file and fun playsheets (who needs worksheets when you’re doing right-brain business planning?!). You will also receive a mid-week and end-of-week check-in with additional exercises and suggested challenges. We encourage you to post your homework to our private Facebook group as you work through the modules. Not only will it help hold you accountable, but you’ll also get to be supported and inspired by your fellow creative cohorts.

There is no “scheduled” time for “class” except for the 6 group calls (which will be recorded in case you can’t make it live), the 3 catalyst chats and the 2hr Mastermind Planning Day. You can do all of the assignments on your own time. Anticipate spending at least 3-5 hours (or more, if you’re super gung-ho!) each module of the course.

You can schedule your 1-1 45 minute Bonus coaching session with me up until December 15, 2020. You can schedule more coaching sessions for only $100 each (a savings of $75) You can contact us at susanmillerlpc@gmail.com to schedule this session.

You will have an option to sign up for another 4 month session at the end of this session. The private Facebook group will close for those who opt not to stay on, but you will have plenty of time to catch up on conversations and posts. Even after the Mastermind Online program ends, you’ll still have unlimited access to stream the course videos and download the reading materials.

What if I don’t finish all of the assignments on time?

The course is meant to jumpstart your planning process and to help provide a structure to guide you along. If you’re not able to complete all of the assignments each week, don’t stress out – you can do them all on your own time.

The way this Mastermind is facilitated, there are some members who have completed the RBBP course, however still use parts of it to continue their journey. Everyone may be at different places in the course, or in their business planning.

There will also be follow on opportunities to help you continue with your planning and progress, should you like a higher level of support at any time as you go along your business planning journey with my community offerings.

What do I need to participate?

You will need a copy of the book The Right-Brain Business Plan: A Creative Visual Map for Success to follow along with the program. If you don’t have a copy yet, you can order it on Amazon, or you can order it from Jennifer Lee (PLEASE NOTE: After you register for the e-Course, you will receive a special discount code for getting 20% off of the book and/or the kit when you order from Jennifer)

Technical requirements: A computer, reliable Internet access, Facebook membership, and the ability to watch online videos, listen to MP3 files, and view PDFs. In addition, you’ll need a phone (land-line preferably) to call into the group conference calls and long distances charges may apply. We also recommend you print out the illustrated playsheets in color for maximum creative inspiration, so a color printer is ideal. You may want to have a digital camera or scanner to document and post your visual plan, but that’s optional.

Supplies: You will be doing various creative activities in the e-course as well as the coaching sessions at times, so here are the basic types of supplies we’ll use – paper, pens/markers, magazines, scissors, glue, Post-it Notes, but you’re encouraged to use whatever materials that inspire you!

An open mind and willingness to have fun!

What if I have more than one business?

We know many creative entrepreneurs have a plethora of passions. If you have multiple businesses or business ideas, we suggest focusing on one business as you go through the exercises. It will keep things more simple and manageable for you. Once you go through the process for one business, it’ll be easier to repeat it again for the next. When you’re done you can look at both plans to see the big picture of your creative enterprise.

What if I’ve been in business for a while already or if I already have a business plan?

The Right-Brain Business Plan® process can be used to flesh out a specific new product or service you’re wanting to offer or to explore how you will take your business to the next level. You will learn tools and techniques for approaching your business from a fresh perspective. If you’ve been feeling bored by your business or you’ve lost connection with your authentic expression, this course will give you the creative spark you need.

What can I expect from the course facilitator?

As your licensed Right-Brain Business Plan facilitator I will be supporting you in the course through the coaching calls, Facebook facilitation, and Catalyst Chats. RBBP creator and author Jennifer Lee will be delivering the recorded video teaching segments in the course modules.

I’ll be your friendly companion and ally who will guide you through the creative business planning process and I’ll offer lots of passionate inspiration along with practical information. I’m there to answer your questions as best as I can, point you to additional resources, challenge you to stretch yourself, and facilitate group sharing and learning.

How can I get the most out of this experience?

Show up: Engage yourself fully in the process. Read the materials, watch the videos, do your assignments and post them on the forum, participate actively in the online community. The more you put in to this experience, the more you’ll get out of it.

Be curious: Ask questions and be willing to try new things, learn, and venture outside your comfort zone.

Offer feedback: If something isn’t quite working for you in the course, please let me know, offer a suggestion, and/or make a specific request and I will do my best to address your concern. This is a two-way street and we’re co-creating our experience together, so I invite your insights.

What is the difference between the Right-Brain Business Plan book, kit, Home Study, and this facilitated online RBBP Group?

This online RBBP group is a facilitator-led program, whereas the book and kit are DIY. The regular RBBP Home Study version is self-paced with no leader responding to questions (as part of this program you will get access to the RBBP Home Study but I will be supporting you as you work through the particular exercises in each module and will be holding your hand all the way through). During the facilitated coaching group you can ask your burning questions and get online coaching from me, your leader. Plus, you can connect with a community of other creative entrepreneurs who are or have been going through the same process you are. Valuable learning, sharing, and brainstorming happens between participants and you might even find new business buddies. It’s a lot easier to get things done when you have the structure, accountability, and camaraderie of a facilitated group.

What if I can no longer participate in the course and need to cancel?

The course registration fee is nonrefundable. And all payments are due in full.

Before you sign-up, please make sure you’re fully committed to participating in the group program and working through the e-course. If you need more information to help you make a solid decision, contact us with your questions.

Who can I contact with additional questions?

You can send an email to susanmillerlpc@gmail.com and someone from the team will be in touch. Thanks!

“I thought the whole course was terrific, I loved doing the vision board work and felt it helped me create the business I wanted. I love the feel and creativity you created for the course. The course material was inspiring and so enjoyable to work with. I felt motivated every week. It has helped me focus and enjoy the process of putting a business plan together.” Marlies Venier, owner of love this place, www.lovethisplace.ca

“It’s a powerful way to re-connect with why you’re doing the work you do. (And it’s fun!) If your brand identity is a bit fuzzy, this will clear it up and launch you forward. In the end, my plan has become a tool for helping my support team, strategic partners, and advisers better understand my vision and goals….priceless! For the first time in 5 years, I completed a business plan and have a living document to use as a guide for the coming years.” Kristina Ender, Coach, Creative, and Mind Body Adventurer, www.livewellstudio.com

“I would say that this isn’t a walk in the park. It isn’t an afternoon craft class. What it is, is the best kick in the pants you know you need. It’s a class in stretching your mind, your vision, your dedication and your time management and how that relates to your business. You will be stretched further than you ever thought you could be. You will come to conclusions about your business that you never expected but were pleasantly surprised by. Above all, you will be excited about your business. You will be motivated to make it happen. Instead of feeling like someone with little to offer in the way of money or business sense you’ll feel like someone who has enough business sense to make your dream happen or at the very least know how to acquire the knowledge to make it happen. Instead of feeling like someone who has no business trying to make it in a corporate world you feel like someone who has a great idea that will appeal to people you can hardly wait to meet. It will change your perspective for so many things in the best way possible.Micheline Courtemanche, Betty and Bing Letterpress, www.bettyandbing.com
