Rebecca Smith from Box Box Solutions is thrilled to be launching a new Business Planning Course at Lancaster & Morecambe College.

Rebecca said that "In all the roles I have had in my professional career, I have always managed to weave in an element of teaching and development.  I love working with other people to help them learn and use new skills, so I'm excited to be delivering this course at the college.  

"When starting and running a business it's so important to have a clear vision as to what you are trying to achieve.  This vision will not only drive you forward as the business owner, but it will provide the 'why' your employees need to help you get there.  

"With this clear vision in mind, you can then explore what needs to happen to achieve it, and this is where business planning kicks in."

Rebecca said: "The thing I love about the business planning process is how it all unfolds.  Through the process you really start to get to know yourself, your motivations, and your superpowers, and this deeper understanding is always so enlightening for people.  It gives you the grounding that you need in business to carry you through the hard times, and to allow you to really connect with your employee's and customers."

The course will teach you how to create a clear vision for your business, a specific and detailed action plan to achieve results, with practical tools and templates to maintain momentum, and to build in responsibility and accountability.  It is most suitable for those who are, or plan to, run their own business, with content that is applicable in both the sole trader, and the business with employee’s scenarios. 

The course starts on June 6th so make sure you enrol quickly if you want to take part. 

For more details on the course and how to enrol go to the Lancaster & Morecambe College website, click courses, and then part time, and then keep scrolling down to Business Planning Level 2.
