This is a worksheet to help you plan your priorities for your community year and/or season.

There are a lot of questions here covering many different topics.

When a question is not relevant for you, it may make you feel like you’re behind and should be at a different stage than the one you are in. This is meant to be helpful to you, not make you feel bad!

This is your reminder to take your time and be kind to yourself through this process. You’re right where you should be.

 **2 • STARTUP**

Your community is launched and you have revenue, but it’s not yet consistent.

 **3 • EXPANSION**

You’re making a full-time salary and your business model is working consistently.

BUSINESS MODEL

Your community business model is a story about how your business works and makes money. Your business model is working when you feel like you know and like your members, you’re getting good feedback from them about the value you bring, you have enough customers and know how to get more, you’re making money from your business without burning out. When your business model is working, it’s not hard to fill out your business model story.
