How is this Bootcamp different?
- AI does the writing *after* you have architected your strategy and business foundation blocks.
- The process:
- First, you architect the strategy in class with an expert small business coach and former business professor who has helped thousands of other small business owners launch and grow their businesses.
- Then you write your plan using AI using the prompts we discuss in class.
- In guided lecture and discussion, you’ll learn all about strategy, target markets, pricing, marketing and sales – all of it.
- Throughout the course you will also learn how to use AI responsibly, safeguard privacy and address security concerns, and construct the best prompts to get a reasonable, reliable business plan.
Research shows
- Entrepreneurs with business plans are 152% more likely to launch their ventures compared to those without plans.
- Businesses that have a formal business plan grow 30% faster than those without clear objectives.

Who Is This Course For?
This AI-Powered Business Plan Bootcamp is for:
- Small business owners who already own a business, maybe for years, and want to go to the next level in an organized fashion, discovering just “what” that next level actually is, and
- Newly minted small business owners who have a passion for what they do and don’t have a plan yet.
We get it! Dream big. Execute small. Be consistent. Wrap it all up in a plan.
This is the “plan” part of it! Let’s get this one done and have some fun along the way.
What is the AI-Powered Business Plan Bootcamp?
The AI-Powered Business Plan Bootcamp course is a live, instructor-led, online, interactive course where you learn how to create your business plan. When working with solo- and micro-preneurs, we always consider both your personal life and your business life…and we encourage you to, also. In this course, we emphasize your business action plan – the action steps you will take to build and grow your business. We also have you consider your personal life goals and dreams at every step.
And we put the fun back into business planning – seriously! When you have successfully finished our AI-Powered Business Plan Bootcamp course, you will have a reasonable (no hallucinations here!) business plan. You will use AI to do the heavy lifting to write it. You will oversee it at every step.
Let’s be honest…most business owners do NOT want to complete their business plan! Oh, they agree in theory that it is necessary, but that’s as far as they go. This course helps change that conversation.
How? First, we want you to succeed. Know that. And we also know everyone learns differently. So we have built this course to cover all areas of business planning through both active and passive learning, combining presentation, discussion, Q & A, cowork sessions, and additional asynchronous online resources. And we will teach you responsible AI prompting, and educate you about privacy and security concerns. Plus, you will have access to Tuesday Office Hours, 9 to 10:15 AM ET, to ask additional questions.
What Do We Cover?
In this five-session Small Business Blueprint Course, we cover:
Feasibility – we explore “will it work” for new businesses and growth directions/possibilities for existing businesses throughout the course as we work on planning and projections.
Strategy – we give you the tools to figure out your “why” and craft your mission, vision and values statements, and establish your goals and objectives.
Key Success Factors – what sets you apart? How are you different? What factors can you leverage for your success?
Products, Services and Pricing – we help you become clear about what you are really selling and your price points.
Marketing and Sales – from digital to physical, from target market to tactics, from outreach to inbound, we help you explore what marketing mix will work best for you to establish or increase sales.
Finances – from sales projections to budgeting to financial statements, we cover it all at a high level and talk about outsourcing.
Legal aspects – we give you a high-level overview of legal entity selection, intellectual property and other legal aspects. Important: We are NOT attorneys, and we don’t pretend to be. This is a high-level discussion only!
Management and Operations – from human resources to logistics to product lines to outsourcing, we will help you understand how your decisions, knowledge and management skills impact your company.
Mindset, Focus and Work-Life Balance are woven throughout all our work together. They pop up everywhere, and at different places for different people.
AI is included throughout the course. While this is not an AI course, we absolutely weave in AI suggestions throughout the course. (NOTE: If you are interested in AI specifically, consider our AI Essentials for Small Business Owners Course.)
