What You'll Master in 18 Weeks

Foundation Phase (Weeks 1-4)

We start with the fundamentals that many business owners wish they'd learned earlier. You'll understand cash flow patterns, basic forecasting, and how to read financial statements without getting lost in jargon.

Cash Flow Analysis Financial Statements Market Research Risk Assessment

Strategic Development (Weeks 5-10)

Here's where things get interesting. We dive into creating business plans that actually work in the real world. No generic templates — just practical strategies tailored to Australian market conditions.

Strategic Planning Competitive Analysis Growth Modeling Scenario Planning

Implementation Focus (Weeks 11-15)

Theory meets practice as you work on real business challenges. Many students tell us this is when everything clicks — when they see how planning translates into actual business decisions.

Budget Management KPI Development Performance Tracking Process Optimization

Mastery & Presentation (Weeks 16-18)

The final phase brings it all together. You'll present comprehensive business plans to industry professionals and receive feedback that helps refine your approach for real-world application.

From Gut Decisions to Data-Driven Growth

David joined our program in 2023 when his family farming operation was struggling with inconsistent profitability. Like many agricultural businesses, they were making decisions based on tradition and intuition rather than solid financial planning.

Eighteen months after graduation, David's implemented systematic planning processes have helped his operation weather two challenging seasons while maintaining profitability. He's particularly proud of the cash flow management system he developed during the program.
