I would love to be part of a pilot program for this. How will we know when it is available, can we be put on a notification? Can’t wait to see more about this!

Sounds great! Question– I’m in a unique situation, so trying to determine if this course would “fit”. We started our business about five years ago. It is based out of our home, however, we provide educational/behavioral consultation and intervention services to families and schools (I’m a board certified behavior analyst) and have fourteen employees. Do you think this course would be helpful?

I would love to participate in this. I already own a business but want to take it to the next level and am having a hard time juggling family and career with out feeling guilty. I am currently doing the 90 day challenge and after just a short period of time already feel better. I feel like I am managing home better. I look forward to the Lord taking my business to the next level so I can help with some projects He has laid heavy on my heart. Let me know!!!!! Lisa

Hi Donna,
I just wanted to say that I am very very excited about this outline. And I agree with most everyone else, even though there are alot of different perspectives.
I would say that it is going to be hard to come up with a price (besides FREE) that would please everyone. However, I do agree with the “pilot programming”. It will give you a good basis and plenty of feedback as to how the program is received and the work it en tales, just like before. It will also enable you to see the commitment of the participants, and then base your payment off of that; I think that it was Susan who said something about the “serious business minded women”?
Well, I also have another idea. I only say this because one can be serious about starting a business, but don’t have the funds, or are in situations that could be of great hindrance. I would suggest, having two similar programs ( after the pilot of coarse). One being designed for the women who can afford to dedicate all their time to it, while the other would be for women who need more time to get started with less money, kinda like a half/ basic program and a full/ in depth program. Or, you can make the half program in two parts and one would pay for it depending on which part they are on. Then you can put an apt price on both programs. I believe this would be a good way of catering to both types of women without being a strain on either, because as I stated before, just cause you don’t have the resources or time to get started right away does not mean you are not serious about taking that step. One may just be looking for their window of opportunity!
If anyone can pull this together I know that it will be you. Blessing!

Lucy Ann, you will be perfect as a participant in this program, because I’ve seen that you are very serious about harnessing internet technology to get a worthwhile message out to the world. That’s what it’s all about. If you have that right, the rest is just putting the pieces in place.

I totally agree with you, Susan. Only those who are serious about a home based business should plan to participate. With this program, I’m going to be extremely careful not to set anyone up for failure. If someone isn’t willing to invest time and money in a business, it will NOT succeed. It would be dishonest of me to lead them to believe otherwise. And this will be a stretch for me, personally, because my love lanugage is gifts and I tend to give everything away. But when it comes to business, you can’t trifle with it and hope to succeed.

I appreciate your insight!

Hi Donna,
This study seems very comphrehensive, I love it, and am totallly interseted. One area that might be of interest is on keeping God first-with all the energy it takes to get a business up and running, how to keep God first, family second and business third- so the business can bankroll the important things.
I think a one-time all inclusive package would be most appealing-with fee from 50 – 150$ you’ll get serious business-minded women.

Donna, this sound great. It’s a spinoff to your current multimedia study. {I have to miss Talkshoe again tonight : ( I have a karate class I can’t miss. . .am testing for black belt in self-defense karate on Saturday after many years of training. Woo Hoo!} As you know one of my SMART goals is to develop multiple streams of income. Tell me more when you know more.
Blessings and hugs,
Lucy

Sue, that’s exactly the way it needs to be done. It needs to be a “jumpstart” to get people heading in the right direction. Then I need a comprehensive website that serves as a springboard to other resources. It isn’t “live” yet but will be http://www.myhomemadebusiness.com
I would charge a one-time class fee, I think. Sure appreciate the input!
