How is this workshop different?
LOTS of personal attention from a GLOBAL BUSINESS CONSULTANT & COACH from start to implementation and beyond:
- Get Going A.S.A.P.: As soon as you join, you will gain access to an online business planning system that includes instructions on how to create your business and marketing plan's first draft. A first draft is usually based on what's in your head or what you've been doing. I'll review and send clarifying questions based on what you've written and the assessments you've completed. This way, your first draft will be in decent shape before you take my INDIVIDUALIZED, LIVE training.
- Clarification Assessments: I'll send you 3 assessments to complete and return to me before the event: Goals, Business Overview, and Life Full-Fillment. This way, I can help you customize your plan so that you can reach YOUR goals. If I see your plan going "off track," I'll let you know and you can decide if you want to take a different direction or not.
- Individual Attention: I purposely keep the workshop small, so that I can answer all your questions during the specific training sections. Your questions will certainly help the other participants. AND, during the day, you can email me for clarification or critiquing. PLUS, during breaks, you can call me.
- Implementation: The goal of this workshop is to help you become a better business leader, build a $1M+ business, and create a planning process you can use (and update) year after year. I will include additional assessments and monitoring spreadsheets to help you put your plan into consistent use for the next 12 months.
- Critiquing After The Event: Within 7 days after the end of the program, I'll help you hone your plan via video for an additional 60 minutes.
Here’s a summary of what makes this workshop different from other planning workshops you've attended.
- Delivered in a small group of no more than 15 advisors--guarantees that you will receive my personal attention throughout the day and that your questions will get answered.
- Access to a special app that helps you put your current thoughts about your vision, goals, and strategies online where I can review them before the workshop.
- Two private working sessions with me included.
- I've been an experienced consultant for the One Page Business Plan(R) program since 2003.
- All your questions get answered and your plan critiqued by me.
If you are ready to uplevel your business and marketing skills, join this one-day exclusive retreat. Seating is limited to 15 advisors and business owners.

A Personal Note from Coach Maria:
My mission for advisors is simple.
To have the most success possible AND live life to the fullest as they serve even more people along the way.
Why?
Because I want to eradicate the crazy 18-hour days that leave you unable to enjoy your family and friends. I want to eliminate the days when you return from vacation to find piles of paperwork on your desk... or worse yet… when your free time really isn't your free time.
I believe the biggest gift a business owner can give to his or her team is to be the best boss possible. And we can be generous with our time and talents by giving back to our communities.
Two heads are better than one! You bring your vision of your ideal business and life. I'll contribute my extensive business expertise, arsenal of resources, and love of marketing. The result? You leave with a strategic and focused action plan to use as your roadmap for success.

When we created our plan, you pushed us to set higher goals. A year later, our gross income has quadrupled. And we added employees to do the work we don't want to do.”

“Because I’m a numbers person, I’ve always had trouble with the “writing part” of planning and setting aside enough time to write a business plan. I knew I needed to have a plan on paper, not just in my mind.
When Maria offered a ONE page business and marketing planning process that could be done in ONE day, I knew that could do THAT much!
Now I have a better feel for . . . important things I had never really thought about. I had NEVER marketed before, but Maria and my business plan gave me STRUCTURED GUIDANCE. I have a better feel for what I need to do to grow, to decide when I want to retire, and evaluate whether I’m building my business so I can sell it or turn it over to somebody else to run–important things I had never really thought about.
My customer base increased 10% after years of only 2% growth. I updated my website to target my ideal clients and created a newsletter, which my clients and prospects appreciate! My web traffic has increased by 20%. I speak more often (CE credit classes) and have gained 12 well-qualified referrals. Niching attracts more ideal prospects to my business and my customer base increased 10% after years of only 2% growth.”
