I have a business plan! When I started, I never would have believed I could do it.

I would like to feel less alone in the difficulties and process of starting a unique and societally-complicated business, alongside health and mental health struggles. I hope to have a real plan that can actually work and feels like I might survive actually doing it.

I did not know there was this much support out there

Finding meaningful work that is spiritually based and flexible has not been the easiest to find. I aim to create an atmosphere similar to the one that has helped me in my own recovery because I know that it works and has worked for many people searching for hope and an end to addictive cycles.

Enjoyable and educational content that hit it right on the mark for what i need to learn and grow to evolve and start my own business

Because everything gets easily scattered in my brain, especially something as overwhelming as all the things that need to get done to be successful in starting a business. RE was helpful because it kept me focused on small chunks of information over the last several weeks. I now have a stronger foundation for this, and am less easily scattered because of that.

I found the individual and group coaching to be so helpful. As someone with ADHD, I do better with a person, rather than a self paced course. In general, I don’t do well with self paced courses.

My goal is to create a business plan that supports the community, my soul care, and my ability to generate income to support independent living.

I managed to already start my business with the information and support given, when before I felt intimidated and unsure about how to do so.

I need a business plan to move forward. That will allow me to establish goals and direction. I have the name, know what I want to do, have my license, but no direction. I'm a CPSS and I've been struggling with some mental health issues here lately and feeling overwhelmed.

I am looking to provide services for peers who may not be able to go out in public to receive peer support. I would like to create a business plan that offer services that people could be in their own comfort zone and receive personalized services which peer support would provide.

I know that I would not have gotten this far into the process and come up with this business plan without the course.

It had a lot of information that I didn’t even think of. I had no clue how to even start a business plan before this course

I have the confidence that I was lacking moving forward with my business now. I had the knowledge but overthought everything making it far more difficult than it needs to be. I really just needed someone to tell me that I truly can do this and how to make it all a reality; and this course did that.

It wasn't just the steps but how the steps related to my personal story I found most helpful. For example getting capital is a challenge of its own, but exploring how asking for capital related to myself and my personal story allowed me to start getting a better plan to remove barriers internally as well as externally.
