Your Archetype is... Tourist
Image Source
You’re still at the stage of seeing the Louvre.Imagine traveling to France for the first time. Where do you go first? Eifell Tower, correct! You can't go hunting hidden gems until you do your due diligence and get to know the city first. The same goes for your dream of building a business. Before you get distracted with shiny objects and start planning your big launches and 7 figure years, you still need to cover the must-dos of early business!GOALThis stage aims to test ideas and develop the foundation ensuring the feasibility of the business. Let's talk about roadblocks. The most common challenge for tourists is the focus. More often or not, early-stage entrepreneurs like you are distracted by shiny objects. They go after pretty stationaries and software, sell offers that everyone else is selling, and worry about Instagram feed aesthetics. Your mind is racing with possibilities and ideas - every single person on Instagram is selling you their proven strategy - so where should you start to be the most effective?THERE’S NO ONE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS. BUT CHEERS FOR DOING BUSINESS BETTER. __Without further ado... The Tourist Business Plan:1. DO YOUR MARKET RESEARCHThere is nothing better than promoting an offer you already know will sell. Validate your business model, offers, and marketing strategy by conducting customer and market research. Before you’re ready to launch full-scale customer acquisition, you need to have a detailed profile of your ideal customers (yes, plural) and a clear image of your position against the competition. It's not as hard to do as you might think. The easiest way is by asking questions on your stories, Facebook groups, Discord channels, and different communities where your potential clients hang out. 2. CREATE A BUSINESS PLANThere is power in a plan written out. This document is your go-to when in doubt. It is always important to analyze and firmly establish the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats your business may encounter in the market you intend to enter. The financial foundation of your launch will be a large factor in the success of your business, so try to plan that as much as possible, to the very last detail.3. MINDSETEntrepreneurship is not a linear experience. You will have ups and downs. BE READY TO FAIL.

Your Archetype is... Explorer

Hello explorer - this is the stage where you're finding the "local gems."You've been to the tourist traps and the "must-see" venues... You've done your due diligence - now that you know the city, it's time to hunt for hidden gems! The same goes for your business building plans. Now is the time for GROWTH, but before you get too distracted by fancy words like "scaling" and "passive income," you still have a few important steps to take!GOALYour goal as an explorer is to focus on growth and fine-tuning your servicesLet's talk about roadblocks. Adaptability is key here. Most of your time in this stage will be spent adjusting your products or services based on the feedback of your customers. It's great to tweak your offers to perfect them and your client journey. But beware, you can get caught up in making changes and listening to your customers to the point that you start feeling a bit of confusion. This stage is all about testing and adjusting... which will naturally feel confusing. So here is a piece of advice. Keep your business plan handy. It will help you power through the blurriness and find your clarity again on the other side!THERE’S NO ONE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS. BUT CHEERS FOR DOING BUSINESS BETTER.__Without further ado... The Explorer Business Plan:1. CREATE A MARKETING STRATEGY There is nothing better than promoting an offer you already know will sell. If you've already done your homework (validating your business model and offers by conducting customer and market research), you're ready to make a marketing plan and get the word out! Don't let the digital space fool you. There are many channels you can utilize to reach your customers. Your marketing strategy is a multi-layered document that should include digital and offline platforms, paid and organic channels, content, messaging and positioning, frequency of posting, etc. You can always test new marketing later. Don't feel pressured to do it all at once. 2. START TO BUILD A BRANDYou've justified your offer and helped a few clients. Now is the time to start creating your brand. When we talk about branding, we keep focusing on a color scheme, logo, and visuals. But that is not all that the brand is. So let's talk about how you can build a brand that stands out from the crowd. Be Consistent - And I am not talking about you showing up on Instagram. In today’s market, a successful brand has to be consistent in communication and experience across the environment of the storefront, brand collaterals, sales experience, and so much more. Be unique - Your brand voice is crafted based on your messaging and audience and can be anything from strict and professional to ballsy and authoritative. And you can't compete if you're always a step behind. Quit trying to impersonate other brands, and focus on creating a business that stands out. Be Personal - The purpose and values of your brand are the foundation of your brand. Your logo will change, and your products will change, but the values you uphold will stay and lead as a front of your business. 3. FINE-TUNE YOUR OFFERSAt this point, you should have crafted offers. Now is the time to refine, refine, ruthlessly refine them! You'll have to get comfy with numbers and analytics... it might not be your favorite, but you (or someone on your team) need to be on top of this so you can clearly answer questions like "Which offer sells best? Which offer takes the most time from you and/or your team members? What types of services are you being asked for regularly? What do you ENJOY doing the most?" Use all of these factors to shift your offers until they are more profitable and aligned.

Your Archetype is... Jetsetter

Travel is your middle name. Not only are you a regular in all your favorite spots, but people are also starting to ask you for directions!You're getting so good at this, you're basically the tour guide. You have cracked the code when it comes to early-stage business struggles (business plans, product refinement, marketing, finances). Now it's time to get organized so you can scale your business and lead your team. GOALThe goal of the Jetsetter stage is to organize the backend of your business and get ready to scale!Let's talk about roadblocks. This stage is exciting, but it comes with its own challenges. As your business grows, you will be pulled in multiple directions, and your time will have a growing list of demands. A few things that you'll notice competing for your attention:- increasing levels of revenue that need to be managed - customers that need attention - new competitors to be aware of - an expanding workforce Stepping into your role as CEO of the company is critical at this stage. You'll still be needed in the day-to-day, but if you're not aware of your expanding team's needs, you'll quickly become overwhelmed! Start establishing order and clear expectations as soon as possible.THERE’S NO ONE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS. BUT CHEERS FOR DOING BUSINESS BETTER.__Without further ado... The Jetsetter Business Plan:1. SET UP TOOLS AND PROCESSESTools and systems are the favorite way for a newbie in business for unnecessary spending. But you're no longer a newbie, and scaling requires a whole new list of tools and systems. Choose your sales and marketing toolkit carefully: find the best tools to facilitate your customer acquisition and support when your business takes off. These tools need to include project/task management software, CRM, CMS, data gathering and analytics, and more. Create clear processes for your sales, marketing, and operations, and don't forget to create SOPs (standard operating procedures) to strengthen your team and ensure consistency and quality.2. LEARN TO OUTSOURCE AND DELEGATEThis can be hard, especially for the woman who grew her business from scratch by hustling, staying up late, and going through the struggles only a business of one can experience. And at this stage, the most important factor is trust. Having SOPs and a set hiring process is half of the job. To decide which of the tasks or functions of your business you should outsource, let's start by keeping a diary of everything that you do. Then group them into tasks that contribute to your bottom line, things you like to do, things that suck up your time, and things you are good at. 3. TRANSITION INTO THE CEO ROLEMany founders struggle to make the personal changes necessary to survive as the CEO of a growing firm. Becoming a CEO means getting out of the weeds and removing yourself from the day-to-day. You have to see the bigger picture, look beyond just the next quarter, and see potential challenges and opportunities on the horizon. The culture is no longer an extension of you.

Your Archetype is... Nomad
Image Source
YOU'RE NOT A VISITOR - YOU LIVE HEREBeen there, got the t-shirt, came back again, and moved in. You're a digital nomad. You don't travel as a tourist, you travel to experience life as a traveler. You're all about that life. You don't do business for fun or curiosity, you literally embody the life of an entrepreneur. You've seen all the sights and decided to make your home in every place that was once foreign and exotic. GOALThe goal is to create a sustainable business with a predictable income that you can scale with intention.Let's talk about roadblocks. You've set the stage and are ready for rapid growth and increased revenue. But be careful not to go into autopilot. Without an awareness of what you've accomplished and a plan for future goals, your business is at risk for unpredicted struggle. Now is a time that you might start wondering what it would look like to leave the business operations, but you're not sure what your options are. Or maybe you want to keep expanding, but you literally don't know what comes next because you haven't seen it modeled in your industry. THERE’S NO ONE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS. BUT CHEERS FOR DOING BUSINESS BETTER__Without further ado... The Nomad Business Plan:1. LEAD THE TEAMBuilding a successful team is about more than finding a group of people with the right mix of professional skills. If you’re lucky enough to attract great employees who are willing to learn and grow, you owe it to them as their team leader to do the same. As a leader, you should always improve your communication and leadership skills. Take time to check in regularly and check for areas of potential improvement or increased efficiency. But most importantly, set some time aside in your corporate calendar to have 1-1 check-ins with your team to see where they are and listen to what they want.2. WORK ON YOUR EXIT STRATEGYAt some point, you need to either expand the business or develop an exit strategy. Before deciding on this step, ask yourself if the business can sustain more growth. Are you, as a leader, in a position to support the growth and expansion of the business? And do you want to? Many entrepreneurs find themselves ready for the next challenge at this stage... but what does leaving the business you built look like? Should you sell it, remove yourself from operations but stay on as the founder, or are you up for a new level of expansion? If you're ready to leave, this can be a good time to consider hiring a CEO to navigate the business with you. 3. FIND ADDITIONAL FUNDING We take a huge issue with funding. Historically, women-funded companies struggle to get more funding than their male counterparts. Research shows that women founders get asked different questions by the VCs. So by this stage, I would hope you have taken the basic steps and separated your personal and business finances. Map out your strategy to secure the necessary funds. There are various grants, lines of credit, term loans, government investments, individual investors, and stakeholders. Pro tip: always negotiate with lenders.
