“Presenting My Business: Report,” Starting and Growing My Business for Self-Reliance (2017)
“Presenting My Business: Report”
Report
Maximum Time: 15 Minutes
Have an opening prayer.
Because we want to have time to reflect on the past 12 weeks of this course, to discuss how to move forward, and to give all group members time to make their business presentations, plan on this meeting taking 2.5 hours.
Last Week’s Commitments
|
A. Keep the “My Foundation” commitments. |
|
B. Research the legal and regulatory requirements for my business. |
|
C. Prepare and practice delivering my business presentation. |
|
D. Review my “Ponder” page and keep the commitments. |
|
E. Contact and support my action partner. |
Step 1: Evaluate with Action Partner (5 minutes)
Take a few minutes to evaluate your efforts to keep your commitments this week. Use the “Evaluating My Efforts” chart at the beginning of this workbook. Then share your evaluation with your partner and discuss with him or her the question below.
Discuss:
What challenges did you have with keeping your commitments this week?
Step 2: Report to the Group (8 minutes)
After evaluating your efforts, come back together as a group and report your results. Go around the group and each state whether you rated yourself red, yellow, or green for each of last week’s commitments. Also state the number of days you practiced each of the key business skills, as reported on the “Evaluating My Efforts” chart.
Step 3: Share Your Experiences (10 minutes)
Now share as a group the things you learned from striving to keep your commitments during the week.
Discuss:
-
What experiences did you have with keeping your “My Foundation” commitments?
-
What did you learn by researching the legal and regulatory requirements for your business?
Step 4: Choose Action Partners (2 minutes)
Choose an action partner from the group for this coming week. Generally, action partners are the same gender and are not family members.
Take a couple of minutes now to meet with your action partner. Introduce yourselves and discuss how you will contact each other throughout the week.
Even though this is the last week of the group, you should have an action partner to help you with your week 12 commitment.
