200K!!! 🎉 I feel like I blinked and missed it 😂 Been watching since about 30k and couldn’t be happier for your success or more grateful for your help and support via your videos. 🙌🏻 Well done Gillian x
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤ I’m completely amazed myself!
You said you started with no skills or plans BUT the key is that you started!! My biggest hurdle right now is just starting. Great video’s and keeping helping others!
EmtronVenger Start doing, believe in your ideas by knowing Your why, and later make plans as you carve the path on your way to SUCCESS!
OMg that is my biggest problem but this is motivation and i hope by the time you seen this that your business is booming
EmtronVenger Why do you even ask people?
Why do you even listen to people?
So true. That’s been my fear the past few years now
EmtronVenger I feel that.. and most of them come from the people who should have my back; family.
Girl! This is SO GOOD. I use to psych myself out with a “Big Scary Business Plan”. It took me years to do even a portion of what you just described in 11 minutes. Legit, people, follow this to a T! It’ll be hard work but it’s literally covering EVERYTHING you need to figure out. Also, Gillian…CONGRATS ON 200k SUBSCRIBERS!!! 😍😍😍 🎉 🎉 🎉
Hello 👋 Tara
I’m just curious if you’re open to taking e a look at another recommended source of income that could be of great benefit to you?
If not a problem I thought I should ask
This is why you’ve grown so quickly. A lot of influencers will tell you, you can do it (and mindset is very important) but you give mindset AND specific strategy! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are a God-send!
Amazing breakdown and creation of this template! Extremely well thought out, in-depth, clear, and helpful! Great Job making this available!
Hi Gillian! I’m Joy, 63 years old. Your presentation is awesome. I learned so much. I’m hoping to start my very first business. I wrote my business plan while you talked, pausing as I needed. It only took me about 2 hours. You were extremely helpful. Thank you very much! I subscribed.
I did the exact same thing
did you find success?
@Al can you tell me whats the word in the first box she wrote when talking about the business mission chart of accountablity
@LiterallyDed yup i didnt get it too what was that?
@LiterallyDed marketing and sales
Love the simple outline! This is exactly what my brain needs to get going on getting everything organized. Thank you so much! I am sad that page5 on Production and Delivery was skipped 🙁 is there another video with it or more information somewhere about that section?
Great content. Keeping it relatively simple so it’s easy to start and not get overwhelmed. I do something similar with my start up and micro business clients while also adding personal elements as well. My thoughts are that we should also plan around our family, friends, spiritual and personal finance goals. Thank you!
I am so thankful I came across this video, because I did not know where to quit start with my business plan but I had the concept of an ideal business plan down pact. This help me break down each step, now I can finally start! 🙏🏽
Great combined communication skills with knowledgeable information. Very useful content. I really appreciate the time you took to explain it thoroughly by simplifying it and explaining the terminology! May God bless you in incredible ways for being a resource. I appreciate your help and services. Thank you for being a neighbor. May Godbless you with more. And for all the viewers: may they be successful in their business development journey. This video made me feel like I’ve seen a whole hour or two hours worth of work/information simplified in 11 minutes!! Great Job. Keep up the wonderful work.
I agree, the business plan itself isn’t the most important part. But getting everything down in a structured document is a great way to think your business through!
This is literally a college 101 business class packed into 11 minutes for free. Excellent content!
No it’s not
😂
I agree…I spent money on a class that took a whole semester and I learned pretty much everything she said… although because of that class I did have some understanding of the subject. I was mainly watching this video for a quick refresh, but it was some very good content
This is incredibly useful. Downloading the template right now.
I’m an aspiring writer who’s trying to make it a full-time career. Only recently have I seen that working for myself in the art world is a business like any other (and an oversaturated one at that). Been making slow progress building an IG account but I still have a long way to go.
Wishing you and everyone here great success. It’s a struggle but you can do it!
you’ve actually managed to boil a business down into something that seems less intimidating than most articles!! i’ll be reading these articles and i’ll be put off of making a business plan because it just feels like so much all at once, but you just shortened it down enough to make it seem feasible!
I also wrote my business plan along with the video pausing when needed to catch up and learned a lot along the way of what I need to be focusing on. I was happy with myself for already having a well laid out plan just needing to see what areas to focus on to get going. Great video!
Gillian, thank you so much for sharing your experience!!! I found this to be extremely helpful, especially for someone like me who has no idea where I should start with my business plan. Also appreciate you sharing the free guide to coming up with a business plan – bless you!!
P.S. I think you’ve got a cool handwriting!!

Hey friends! I just wanted to let you know that there’s now an updated version of this video. 😊 You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEoaRb84UeE&t=329s
Right on time, because I’ve been struggling with this business plan for two years. The whole time we’ve been in business. But didn’t need one until now that we’re growing. 😭
Immediately better soon as I pressed play LUL
Thank you so much for this Gil
What do you mean about legal structure what is that
thanks so much 🙏 I’ve being given an assessment for this, kindly show me where you have the typed document so that I use it as a template to create mine
Fabulous! As I was woundering if you covered Point #5 Production & Delivery? Ill watch today! 🥰👍
Hi Gillian, I wanted to thank you personally for this video. I love how detailed you are with every section and appreciate your assistance. I am now equipped to start writing mine. May the Lord bless you.
Gillian, described 5 of the 6 parts of the business plan clearly. She did not address #5 is production and delivery. This is self explanatory and basically you’ll outline what that looks like including timelines. Gillian, thank you for this quick explain! I got a book last week and have been struggling. Much success to you and your TEAM! 💚🌎✍️
This was So helpful! Thank you so Gillian. Im working on helping my community. And need a good business plan.Great job.
You got this! ❤️
