FastTrac® GrowthVenture™
FastTrac® GrowthVenture™is a ten week program that focuses on helping entrepreneurs to sharpen their strategic thinking skills as they plan for growth and build sustainable businesses. Participants will assess where the business is now and explore opportunities for growth and apply strategic thinking skills through the business planning process. They are challenged to think critically about their business, practice decision-making skills, and ensure all aspects of their business are aligned for long-term sustainability and growth. A well thought-out and researched business plan is an optional outcome of the program.

- Overall business strategy and vision for the future.
- Ability to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
- Changing role in managing the business.
- Focus and alignment of all aspects of the business.
FastTrac® GrowthVenture™ introduces practicing entrepreneurs to the key elements necessary to build the knowledge and skills necessary to continue to grow the business and be profitable. You will think strategically about your business. Developed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, FastTrac® GrowthVenture™ focuses on the specific needs of these entrepreneurs:
- Thinking more strategically and critically in all aspects of the business.
- Focusing on the planning process-not a start-up plan-rather a business plan to grow the business and increase revenue and profitability.
- Reflecting on how you really want to manage the work, highlighting proven leadership strategies and providing insights into healthy organizational management.
- Structuring or operating the business with more efficiency.
- Realigning the strategic goals and the critical functions of the business.
- Outlining specific action steps that will be taken to achieve your business' vision and goals.
The program is grounded in the proven, proprietary business-planning process used in FastTrac® programs. Through readings and research, activities and action steps, peer-to-peer interaction, coaching, and facilitated discussions, each participating entrepreneur will work on the key aspects of assessing where the business is now while also exploring opportunities for sustainability and growth.
FastTrac® offers non-traditional, experiential learning with hands-on coaching sessions. Opportunities to network and learn from peers as well as the facilitator, business coach, guest speakers, seasoned entrepreneurs, and professionals who work with entrepreneurs are a key part of the experience.
