Couples in Business

 

Couples in Business Program

 

Partners in business balancing work and life

 

Like a successful marriage, starting a business together takes commitment, a lot of time, effort, money, and most of all a commitment to each other’s success. The perfect home-grown business is a union of two people with a common goal and complementary skills, tailored to suit both individual personalities and providing space for quality experiences whilst working and blending your personal lives together.  

 

A life together in business is traditionally full of the ups and downs, both the risks and rewards of starting and staying in business. It is a world full of dreams and aspirations for a better quality of life, and often becomes a journey that can stretch couples well beyond the confines of their relationship.

 

In this program Mark & Jeanette Jones (successful small business owners and entrepreneurs), winners on numerous business and training awards will share their stories and reveal the pros and cons of building a successful life and business together.

 

Discover…

 

·         how to work with each other's individual strengths and weaknesses

·         working through the nuts and bolts of creating a jointly owned vision

·         how to develop an actionable life / business plan

·         how to divide goals, roles and responsibilities

·         how to keep the zest, energy and passion in your working relationship

·         the tools to create a space for open and trusting communication…

·         and the tools to support you in the growth of your business

 

Through every stage of a businesses life cycle, both your marriage and your business will need to thrive if it’s to survive in tough times. Learn how to separate your business time from your personal time. The tools provided will ensure your business and life’s journey will be built upon passion, commitment and trust, a journey where you will learn a lot about each other in the process. Unconditional support for each other is an essential ingredient in this mix.

Small Business Online Program

Small Business Online Initiative
 
The E-Business Advisory Services Program
 
The Sunshine Coast’s award winning small business, TRAC Consulting have had a great start to 2010 with the announcement that they have been awarded over $350,000 in Federal Government funding to deliver innovative online educational programs to other small business operators throughout regional Queensland.
 
The AusIndustry funding is aimed at enabling small business owners to grow their online capability and to also enhance their communications and marketing effectiveness.
TRAC’s “e-business advisory services program” will be delivered in partnership with the Creative Collective (Yvette Adams) and will be delivered across regional Queensland with two cohorts planned for the Sunshine Coast, one in Bundaberg and one in the Whitsundays. The first program commences on the 19th & 20th March with a two day bootcamp in Noosa.
 
The program includes a mixture of live events, weekly e-lessons, live computer labs, and weekly webinars allowing small business owners to study in a flexible manner around their business and family commitments.
 
The real value of the program inclusive of workshops, mentoring support and business development forums is valued at around $5,400 per participant.
 
With a once only administration fee of only $297 per person this program provides exceptional value and a great opportunity for small businesses to become more resourceful and effective with their marketing budgets, automate key business functions and allow them to extend their market reach. 
 
Each regional cluster will be capped at twenty-five participants and registrations are being accepted on a first in first served basis.
