Paddling in circles? Start steering.

For owners and managers who want a clear direction - and a plan that actually stacks up in the real world.

This service takes you step-by-step through the key parts of a solid business plan, covering vision, values, financials, marketing, risk, succession, and 90-day SMART goals. Everything is explained in plain English and applied directly to your business.

You'll step out of the day-to-day, think properly about where you're heading, and leave with clarity and a focused way forward.

What you walk away with

• A clear, usable business plan built during the sessions
• A focused set of 90-day SMART goals you can action immediately
• Confidence in your direction and financial decisions
• A plan that's ready to share with lenders, partners, or your team

Ideal for

• “We're busy… but I'm not sure we're heading the right way”
• “I never get time to work on the business”
• Owners & managers wanting a clear plan
• Teams ready to commit to 90-day SMART goals

Your Facilitator

Miriam brings over 20 years' experience working with small businesses in New Zealand and overseas, with a strong background in business management, business financial literacy, accounting and governance. Small business is her niche — she understands the hustle, the limitations, and the intimidation that can come with running a business, because she's lived it.

What Participants Say...

• The workshop was relevant, hands-on and purposeful. Great supportive atmosphere. I had a number of 'light bulb' moments. 
• Miriam is so engaging and relatable. She pitches concepts in a way which is so easy to grasp. I’ve come away feeling more focused.
• Miriam was so knowledgeable and really made complicated parts of business make sense and clear. Highly recommend and can't wait to do some one-on-one training with her.
• The workshop was easy going, insightful and encouraging as the facilitator comes from an experienced background.
• I found talking about adding capital value to our business of particular interest, as I've only been thinking about extracting money.
• Presenter was great and the material was relevant to the business. This has got us thinking and will look to implement some of the ideas in the next few months.
