Create Your One-Page Business Plan for 2024

For many solo-preneurs and small businesses, a business plan is often put on the ‘back burner’ when it comes to planning. Often, there is so much to do in a day as you work IN your business there is little left to put energy into planning.

Have you ever gone on a long driving trip without sitting down with a map or at least entering your destination into your navigation system? If you haven’t done that, major or even minor, intersections can bring uncertainty and doubt. Road closures and detours along the way can compound the uncertainty and doubt.

At the Sound Wellness Institute, we do have a full business plan. However, what we actually use is a one-page strategic plan for the year that we keep on our fridge. It is a living document. We see it multiple times a day and it reminds us why our business is important and what our goals are. Whenever an opportunity appears that we didn’t expect, it gets added in, or something gets crossed out as the business evolves throughout the year.

And grounding the whole plan is our yearly theme. We have been doing this for almost 10 years and it has helped us to make decisions based on our values and goals. It has helped remind us of why we are doing this business during slower or more challenging times. It has helped to keep us focused when distractions come up – and they do come up.

I invite you to join me for this 90-minute masterclass to create your one-page strategic plan for your business – or at least get a good start on it.
