About This Resource
I’ve been where you are. The all-consuming focus on your current venture can make it seem like there’s nothing else in the world. But what happens when things don’t go as planned? Or even when they do?
The truth is, your entrepreneurial journey extends far beyond your current startup. This comprehensive workbook, inspired by Reid Hoffman’s concept of “The Startup of You,” gives you practical tools to create robust Plans A, B, and Z for your entrepreneurial life.
Unlike generic career advice, this workbook is specifically designed for entrepreneurs who understand that uncertainty is part of the game. It helps you leverage your unique experiences while planning strategically for multiple scenarios.
This workbook will help you:
- Build a comprehensive skills inventory that highlights your transferable entrepreneurial strengths
- Develop a clear Plan A for your current venture with realistic timelines and milestones
- Create multiple Plan B scenarios that leverage your existing skills and network
- Establish a solid Plan Z safety net to ensure you can always bounce back from setbacks
- Craft your personal brand that transcends any single business venture
- Implement a continuous learning system to stay relevant in a changing marketplace
The “ABZ Planning Framework”
The heart of this workbook is the ABZ Planning Framework that helps you balance optimism with pragmatism:
Plan A: Your current focus and primary path forward
Plan B: Your pivot options when opportunities or challenges arise
Plan Z: Your safety net that ensures you can take calculated risks
This framework isn’t about preparing for failure—it’s about creating the freedom to make bold moves knowing you’re prepared for any outcome.
