The 5 Missing Pieces™

Want to start a business or grow a business but don’t know where to start?

Want to create a PLAN but OMG, that seems overwhelming?

Recognize some problems with your business but don’t know how to fix them?

Psst... You don't need a lengthy business plan. You need a Profit LaunchPlan™ and The 5 Missing Pieces™ Framework!

Profit LaunchPlan™ vs. Traditional Business Plan

Traditional business plans are simply not ideal for today’s emerging startups and small businesses. 

Planning is important! But planning the right way will have a faster impact on your success! This is why we developed The Profit LaunchPlan™ which helps you focus on what’s important!

Most small start-ups and family businesses do not know where to start and the idea of putting together a plan is overwhelming.  The worst part is that most traditional plans usually sit on a shelf and collect dust after they are created!

The 5 Missing Pieces™ serve as a framework for building your Profit LaunchPlan™ – an easy business plan for busy business owners just starting out!

How Does it Work?

We work with clients, meeting most weeks for 60-90 minutes, building your Profit LaunchPlan™ using the 5 Missing Pieces™ Framework together.

This way you can run your business AND start executing on the plan at a pace that works for you and your business.

Your advisor serves as your guide – an invested, caring member of your team – to supplement your business with skillsets and experience you may be lacking to help your business grow and thrive while building a strong foundation for the future!

When the plan for your phase is completed, you’re ready to execute on the plan on your own! And if you get stuck or need help with the next phase, we’ll be there with you again.
