Step 1: A Firm Foundation

Step 2: Plan-On-A-Page

Step 3: Reality Check

Step 4: Countdown to Launch

(or Relaunch)

Step 1: A Firm Foundation

Our tools and training make it easy to get clear on exactly what God has called you to do, both now and in the future. 

  • identify obstacles to launching a successful business,

  • face your fears

  • develop strategies for business success. 

The lessons included in this step are absolutely, 100%, without a shadow of doubt CRUCIAL to long-term success. BUT these foundational areas are the MOST OVERLOOKED and SKIPPED by entrepreneurs because they don’t seem like they would be important or have an impact on lasting success. This step ensures that YOU don’t make those mistakes.

Step 2: Plan-On-A-Page

A written Business Plan is an important tool for startups, but even more important is having an actionable plan for the day-to-day success of your business. 

  • Plan-on-a-page includes all of the critical pieces of your business to ensure you’ve got everything covered, not missing a thing.

  • AMAZINGLY, it's all done on ONE. SHEET. OF PAPER

Then we show you how to take that one page and create a Modern Mini Business Plan (with Financial Projections) perfect for your personal and team planning, private angel investors, as well as public investors - without being 50 pages long!

Step 3: Reality Check

So now that you’ve got a great plan that’s short and sweet, how do you know that it will actually WORK?? Great question! That is what our Reality Check is for.

  • learn exactly how to determine your biggest areas of risk,

  • create quick and easy ways to test those areas with real customers so that you get relevant feedback.

  • learn how to take those results and refine your plan. 

What you’re left with is a tried and tested business model with a MUCH higher likelihood of success.

Why waste time, energy and money building something that isn’t quite what your customers really want or need, or that isn’t quite priced correctly for the market, or that has a fatal flaw that you didn’t even know about???

Once you go through our Reality Check step, you won’t have any of those worries, but instead peace of mind knowing you have a business model that will actually work.

Step 4: Countdown to Launch

So now that you’ve got a solid foundation, you’ve planned all the important pieces, and you’ve tested your idea and adjusted it so that it's practically perfect, it’s time to LAUNCH!

  • all of the nuts and bolts needed to actually launch (or relaunch) your business.

  • learn the basics needed for startup success like insurance, taxes, budgets, branding, operations and so much more -- without being overwhelmed! 

  • peace of mind from our Done-4-U paperwork review for your LLC, nonprofit, or corporation and securing your EIN (if you needed), filing your BOIR, completing your operating agreement or Bylaws. Normal Bundle price is $60, but included as part of ROOTED. 

  • taught by experts in their fields who can provide the services you need, so that you don’t just learn about it, but you can actually DO everything needed to launch. 

Once this step is completed and you are ready to launch/relaunch your business, Biz By Faith hosts a Success Showcase to give you a jump start. This is our opportunity to showcase your new business to our partners, network and potential investors/funders for your business. Invite your friends and potential customers so that this serves as your FREE “soft launch.”

As a nonprofit, why do we charge?

We are committed to providing free and low-cost services, including our monthly membership program, discounted and free administrative back-office support services, special events and workshops, free Navigator consulting services, and free credit building offerings both through our partnerships with North County Incorporated and Justine PETERSEN.

We have conducted our foundational cohort since 2015 and have learned several things along the way. We found that participants are more engaged and committed, are more likely to finish, and ultimately have a much better experience, getting more out of the program, if they pay a fee versus participating free of charge.

After trying several price points, we found that $150 was a good fit, providing the incentive necessary to fully participate and complete the cohort, as well as remaining accessible for most people's budget.

If you need financial assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us for options and opportunities.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

There are a lot of good business startup programs out there.
Really there are! But most suffer from a few fatal flaws:

  • Many give great information, but very little practical help so you can implement and apply what you've learned

During the Rooted cohort, you will be given time to fully implement the concepts and lessons discussed. You will complete the experience with a mini business plan acceptable for potential partners and funders, financial statements and budgets, short- and long-term goals with an actionable plan to carry them out.

  • Some programs last a short while (a few weeks or even a few months). But then there is no funding to offer ongoing support

Once you complete the ROOTED cohort, you transition seamlessly to our monthly membership program: business & wealth Growth Group. As a Growth Group member, we will continue walking with you for the next 3 to 5 years to ensure you don't become a failure statistic, but achieve the success you are destined for.

  • Most programs give great advice and information, almost no one, provides help to actually run your business.

During the ROOTED cohort, we help you assess and determine what administrative support you need to successfully operate your business. We look at your strengths versus the areas better handled by others. We help you plan your strategy for handling your admin needs, including at what point in your business you will be able to hire staff. Finally, Biz By Faith provides free and discounted admin support services to help bridge the gaps as you grow.
