Get All The Coaching, Business Planning Help & Services You Need To Launch Your Business Quickly & Professionally

Please let me introduce you to the Virtual Incubator Business Start-Up Coaching Program.

Quite honestly, I know that if you could find a magic wand to immediately turn your business idea into an income-producing business, you'd jump at using it.

Well, I haven't found the "magic wand" yet, but I can offer you the next best thing - a business start-up program that leads you through every key decision you need to make and helps you complete every necessary organizational and marketing task - all in one convenient place.

The Step-By-Step Program Format

Business Planning Workbook
You use the Ultimate Boomer Business Launch Workbook to familiarize yourself with twenty-five key business planning decisions and use the included worksheets to prepare to discuss each decision with me, your Virtual Incubator coach.

Business Blueprint Outline
You record your business decisions as a running narrative in the Business Blueprint business plan outline, written in Word for Windows and provided to you on a handy CD, so you can take it on the road with you.

Coaching & Planning Sessions
You use what you've learned in your planning workbook to discuss each of the twenty-five planning decisions with me during our phone coaching sessions and e-mail planning prompts. You also work directly with our service providers team to provide input to permit them to complete a series of organizational tasks to more quickly and professionally launch your business.

Start-Up Service Providers
Certain business planning tasks can be more quickly and professionally completed by an expert service provider. We have combined the following key organizational tasks together into our Start-Up Services Package, included in your Virtual Incubator Coaching Program.

Here's whats included in the Start-Up Services Package:

• An attention-getting logo design.
• Business card layout and printing of 500 full-color, glossy business cards.
• 30-minute CPA consultation to discuss your legal form and tax issues.
• Assistance in legally registering your business.
• Securing a FEIN.
• Traffic-stopping website design (up to 7 pages, non-e-commerce).
• Set up of your web hosting and business e-mail accounts.
• Professional editing of the content for your website.
• Assistance from our copywriter to prepare and issue your company's first press release.
• Installing and using QuickBooks accounting software.

Let me know more about your coaching needs

If you have a question we don't answer in this section, please feel free to send the question to me by e-mail.

Q. How do you decide which clients to work with?

A. I talk to you. This is why I offer a free, 30-minute phone coaching session, so that I can use the information you provide in your coaching request form and what you tell me during your coaching session to determine if we are good fit for each other.

Q. How is Virtual Incubator coaching different from working with other small business counselors?

A. The big difference is the street-smart advice we provide in the start-up workbook and the do-it-for-you support you receive. Every planning resource and needed service provider is made available to you -- all in one place.

My private coaching is best described as a "soup-to-nuts" process, that includes an intensive period of coaching and coordination of our team of start-up service providers. It's not a quick, "here's-how-YOU-do-it" one weekend workshop. That won't get you past your time pressure and inertia.

Q. How long is my relationship with you as my Virtual Incubator coach?

A. The Virtual Incubator Business Start-Up Program is presented over twelve (12) weeks of time.

Request the full Virtual Incubator Program coaching & planning schedule.

Q. Are study materials provided when working with you as my Virtual Incubator coach?

A. Yes, you'll use the 163-page Ultimate Boomer Business Launch Workbook to organize your business launch preparation into 25 planning decisions, and to prepare you to most effectively work during each coaching session.

You'll also receive the Business Blueprint business planning CD (written in Word for Windows), which you'll use to enter your planning decisions into a word processing document thereby creating a narrative, which is supported by your financial projections.

Q. Do I get help with tasks such as designing my logo and creating my business website?

A. Yes you do!. I coordinate our team of business start-up experts, which includes:

• A graphic designer.
• CPA.
• Copywriter.
• Website designer.
• QuickBooks expert.
• Computer expert.

Q. Am I expected to apply myself full-time to planning my new business?

A. If you mean 40 hours per week, then the answer is no. But I can tell you from working with hundreds of start-up clients that you will progress more rapidly if you commit at least 4-5 hours per week to prepare for each coaching or planning session.

Q. What can I expect to have done when I complete my work with a Virtual Incubator coach?

A. You will have:

• Selected a business address and created a business identity, including a logo, color scheme, business card layout, and web domain name.
  
  
• Completed legal registration and compliance with any other pertinent government regulations.
