Build Your Business Contingency Plan in 4 Weeks
Most entrepreneurs have insurance or a will.
But very few have a clear plan for what happens to their business if they suddenly cannot run it.
In this guided 4-week program, you will create a structured contingency plan so your family, clients, and team know exactly what to do if life unexpectedly interrupts your ability to work.
What You’ll Build
Participants will leave with:
a documented business contingency plan
a map of key systems and accounts
instructions for accessing business information
guidance for communicating with clients
a roadmap for business continuity
Who This Program Is For
solo entrepreneurs
sole practice owners
consultants and service providers
small business owners whose business depends on them

Register now and take the first step toward protecting your business—and the people behind it.
You don’t need to do everything today. But you do need to start.
Note: If you own a business or oversee a team, this is a great planning resource for your employees/contractors to participate in as well. If there are multiple people at your company interested in attending, there's a group package available (please contact Jodi directly) .
I know thinking about a future where you aren’t here to care for and protect your family is awkward and uncomfortable.
But that’s why I’m doing this and that’s why you need to do this too!
Because death, illness, accidents, disease, injuries, and age happen – whether we are planned for them or not.
Why This Matters (Especially If You’re Running a Business)
When a business owner becomes suddenly unavailable, the impact isn’t just emotional—it’s operational.
Without preparation:
Accounts get frozen
Bills go unpaid
Employees are left unpaid and without guidance
CRA deadlines are missed
Access to banking and systems is delayed
Spouses and families are left stressed and uncertain
Preparedness doesn’t eliminate difficulty—but it prevents chaos.
This series exists so your family isn’t left asking:
“Where do we even start?”
Why Now?
Here’s the truth …
Most business owners don’t plan for absence, incapacity or death because:
It feels uncomfortable
It doesn’t feel urgent
There’s always something more pressing
Until there isn’t.
Illness, accidents, and unexpected events don’t come with advance notice—and your business doesn’t pause just because life does.
Registering now means:
You’re acting before something forces your hand
You’re making decisions calmly—not in crisis
You’re protecting the people you care about while you can
