*Right-Brain Business Plan Home Study Program*

Instructor: Jennifer Lee

Description: If you have a creative business — or you’re thinking about starting one — this book and e-course will uncover new possibilities and inspiration that you never thought possible. Want a fun and creative way to plan for your amazing entrepreneurial success? Then come join the party at the Right-Brain Business Plan® Home Study e-Course. You’ll roll-up your sleeves and craft a visual plan that lets your head know where your business is going AND inspires your heart to sing with joy.

Plus, since it’s a home study program, you get to start whenever you want and you get to do it all on your own time! This multimedia home study program is perfect for you if…

• You don’t have a business plan and know you need one, but doing dirty dishes, dealing with loads of laundry, or even getting a head start on next year’s taxes all sound way more appealing (ugh!)
• You’ve tried to do a business plan the “traditional way” and you got stuck, overwhelmed, and demotivated
• You already have a business plan, but you need to breathe new life into it
• You can’t stand spreadsheets
• Numbers numb you out
• AND you’d be a heck of a lot happier planning your business in the same intuitive, authentic, and expressive way that you live your creative life (yes, indeed, it can be that fun and fulfilling!)

Beginning with your feet, you’re going to go on a photo safari into your own life to reconnect with who you are, where you’ve been and where you want to go next. But this isn’t a photography course -– rather, we’ll be using the camera as a tool to unlock how we see not only ourselves but also the world we live in, including the immediate surrounds of our homes, places of work and our friends and family. You don’t need any previous photography experience to do this course — just a desire to get back in touch with the real YOU.
