Planning Your Path Forward
Oh, what to learn?
We do have an awful lot of learning modules here in this Community… it might seem overwhelming.
Yet, you are not alone.
Step-by-step we will encourage and support you.
Choose your path
There are two paths forward. The Complete Path, and A La Carte.
We want to inspire you to embrace one of these paths, knowing that whichever one your business needs, our intention is that your business develops and your heart receives the love and healing it needs to be sustained in business.
Recommended: The Complete Path
The Complete Path means you go through the modules like a large course, in a particular order.
Why do we recommend the Complete Path? Even business owners with a lot of experience have gained a tremendous amount by reformulating every part of their business to be heart-centered, and to see it as a complete whole. Plus, if you get to a section that you already feel complete with in your business, you can buzz through it and on to the next.
What the Complete Path looks like
The Complete Path means we recommend that you do these modules in this order, at your own pace. Of course, if you have a need in your business and need to peek ahead at something, absolutely! Don’t hold back from learning something your business needs in the moment.
At the same time, if you keep the intention to work through these modules methodically, putting developmental pieces in place as you go, you’ll see the greatest growth.
When you take the Complete Path, you go through each of the modules in the following order. All told it will take you twelve to twenty-four months.
And, during that time, you’ll be seeing your business get better and better. You’ll be moving through the Stages of Business Development, and increasing your income, your reach, and your effectiveness.

Beyond the Learning Community

Note: These Momentum Modules are found in our Accelerating Growth Program which is not included in the Learning Community.
- The Big Vision
- Business Models
- Heart-Centered Systems
- Creating Your Organization: Who to hire, when to hire, how to hire (not necessarily employees)
- Leading Your Organization: How to lead, how to delegate, how to manage a team.
Why aren’t these modules in the Learning Community?
It’s a great question, and we weighed the idea of putting them in here. In the end, we decided that it wasn’t sustainable for our business at this point. These were high-value teachings for more advanced businesses, and we wanted to be able to charge for them separately, and so sustain the effort that went into them.
If you feel you need one of these Stage 3 modules, just ask, and we can point you to how to acquire any of them.
Or… the A La Carte Path
In A La Carte you identify the modules you need, and you work through them one at a time, in order of priority. Our recommendation is that you start with the module you need from the earliest stage of business development.
When you put earlier fundamentals in place, that improves everything your business is doing, and makes it much easier to work on modules that come later in the stages.
Either way, start with an assessment
Start with the Four Stages of Business Development module and determine not only which stage your business is in (Creation, Concentration, Momentum or Independence), but which elements within each stage are strong, weak, or simply not there.
Then you’ll know your path forward.
The module will take you about 20 minutes to complete.
