A Year Long highly Intensive, Completely Immersive, Strategically Executed Path for Want to Be Entrepreneurs and those brave enough to pursue the risk.
month one
CREATION
Everything starts with a dream, a vision,
a burning desire to 'do something.'
Let's Begin
A consultation, a conversation, a sentence, or even possibly a word. The realization, the one when you have your
'Aha" moment. Otherwise known as the Eureka Effect.
The eureka effect refers to the common human experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept.
We prefer to call it
'Finding Your Purpose'.
But 'Aha' works for us too.
What We Do.
We sit with you.
We listen to you.
We will even pray with you.
We help you filter through.
We encourage you.
We help you discover.
We create clarity.
We organize choices.
We insist on decisions.
month two
DEVELOPMENT
Where, how, what, when? All legitimate, all worthy of concern, but all dream killers if left unattended.
What's Involved in Development?
We help you discover and understand
Your How.
Your Where.
Your When.
Your Why.
HOW?WHERE?
WHEN?WHY?
By now you know what.
So here comes the more difficult part.
Answering all of the above.
HOW? By doing.
WHERE? It begins at The Moade Center
WHEN? When you can. We have many options.
WHY? Because you've waited long enough.

ESTIMATE
Up until this point it's been fun.
The excitement of your different future.
The growing embryo of your dream.
But now comes the numbers.
The cost, the goods, the marketing, the location, the labor. This is the first place you will begin to feel uncomfortable.
But, we've been here many times before.
We aren't hand holders, panderers, or sympathizers. We are motivators, leaders, and the ever present force behind your commitment. It's only numbers, and they either work or they won't, and the sooner you figure out which ones do, and which ones don't, the better armed you will be to make the tough decisions. Businesses won't work without good numbers.
If you aren't making money, you only have a hobby.
month six
CONSTRUCT
This is where you learn the real meaning of 'sweat equity.' Where your contribution up until this point has been brain work. For the next 4 weeks you will be physically exhausted, mentally exhausted but never more excited in your life. This is where your dream comes alive. In living vibrant color. You will be given a tool belt chocked full of tools, a paint bucket filled to the brim with supplies and you have a carpenter at your disposal. Your plan, your lot, your choices have led to this moment and it's time to get dirty, get tired and get er DONE! You will come out of this with your space, your studio, your store, your future. Your destiny.
Now roll em up and let's get this done!
