Have you been farming for more than 3 Years? Are you ready to move from your start-up “Survive” business model to a better “Thriving Business” model? At some point every farmer has to acknowledge that the business has undergone some unexpected changes. The Wheels Up training program leads participants through a process of re-envisioning, reframing and re-strategizing their business. This class will prepare you for the challenges of the next phase of business development that is also in sync with their life goals.
The program will consist of 4 class sessions plus “one-on-one” consultation support by appointment at the conclusion scheduled class sessions.
Class components:
- revisiting mission and goals and handling change in a business,
- addressing production and human resource challenges,
- understanding what a financial statement can tell you,
- and developing diversified marketing strategies.
Since each participant will have a different priority for their business, each participant will also create their own learning contract to have completed by the conclusion of the project.
The 4 class sessions will meet at the Piedmont Group Insurance Company, 47 E South Street, Suite 101, Frederick, MD 21701 on Tuesday evenings in March from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the following dates:
- Tuesday, March 7
- Tuesday, March 14
- Tuesday, March 21
- Tuesday, March 28
The tuition cost is $45 per person which includes all materials.
