LUYC 090: Jennifer Lee on How to Plan and Take Action in Your Business

Author: Janelle Allen: Learning Designer, Online Course Coach, and Entrepreneur April 3, 2019 Duration: 38:24
Welcome, everybody! I am joined today by Jennifer Lee, bestselling author, coach, and founder of Artizen Coaching®. Jennifer spent ten years in corporate America as a consultant for Fortune 500 companies before going full-time into coaching in 2006. Her first book, The Right-Brain Business Plan, paved the way for her Right-Brain Business Plan® Home Study program, a self-paced course that offers a creative and intuitive way to finish your business plan. She joins me today to share her business journey and a walk-through of the program. We discuss the early stages of her course, the home-study approach, and her powerful tips for those who want to adopt a similar model. You can’t stay in planning-mode forever. It is the action that you take that’s going to make this real. Episode Quotes "I realize that I am my own boss, and I need to figure out the business plan." "You are not just a coach; you are a business owner." "It is best to start with live content since it is the quickest, and it shows in real-time what people struggle with." "Most of us are focused on the big outcomes instead of the journey." "The home study model is not something to just go into lightly if you want to do it right."
