Here's your step-by-step map of what you'll walk your students through:
Course Modules Overview
Introduction
You'll start out with an overview of the course and what your students will learn, so that everyone is excited to jump in and get going.
Module 1 - The Impact of Financial Management on Your Business Success
Many business owners don't realize how important financial management is until it's too late. They end up scrambling to find all their expenses, or worse, they run out of money altogether. But it doesn't have to be that way.
In Module 1, you'll discuss with your students how to establish a mindset around financial management that will motivate them to stay on top of their numbers so that they can grow a profitable business.
Module 2 - Is It Personal or Is It Business?
It's vital to keep your business and personal finances separate to protect your personal assets, make sure your reporting for taxes is accurate, and get a clear picture of your business's financial health.
In Module 2, you'll discuss why it's so important to keep personal and business finances separate. Your students will then start that process by ensuring they have separate business accounts and by identifying their current personal business expenses.
Module 3 - Set Up Your Financial Systems
Consistent bookkeeping can help eliminate any confusion when it comes to keeping track of your business and personal finances.
In Module 3, you'll teach your students how to apply basic bookkeeping best practices and implement a bookkeeping system in their business. They'll select a bookkeeping software if they don't have one already, and then enter their financial data so that they're ready for the next module.
Module 4 - The 3 Key Reports You Need to Understand
In Module 4, you'll point out and explain the most important elements of a Balance Sheet, P&L Statement, and Cash Flow Statement. You'll then go through each report and discuss the essential questions your students need to answer to interpret their reports and assess their businessโs current financial health.
Module 5 - Manage Your Finances Moving Forward
When moving forward, forecasting can help businesses make decisions about budgeting, resource allocation, and marketing strategies.
In Module 5, you'll have your students create a picture of their businessโs finances moving forward, including both forecasted sales and expenses, so they can create a budget and make informed decisions about strategies and tactics that will impact their numbers.
Module 6 - What About You?
Any forecast and budget must take into account your personal financial requirements too! You start that process by calculating your personal expenses and comparing that to the profit available to you in your business.
In Module 6, you'll show your students how to ensure thereโs a balance between how much money they personally need and what their business can provide. You'll also explore actions they can take if their business won't provide enough income to cover their needs.
Module 7 - Take Stock and Outline a Plan
In Module 7, you'll show your students how to apply the information theyโve learned about their finances to assess their businessโs health and create an action plan for making it even more robust.
You'll discuss the meaning of Revenue Growth, Expense Growth, Gross Profit Margin, and Net Profit Margin. Then, you'll have your students create a Financial Action Plan that includes their identified ways to cut costs, increase revenue, and increase cash flow in their business.
Module 8 - Next Steps
In this final module, you'll share some additional tips and give your students time to review the course, helping them to consolidate and implement their learning and plan future action steps, so they can achieve the goals they set for this course.
Creating a course like this from scratch takes most coaches hundreds of hours and often thousands in freelance costs.
You won't pay anything like that.

I instantly recognized the value
I've been around the block when it comes to designing courses, and I instantly recognized the value in what they were offering.... I decided to take the plunge with Content Sparks' materials by using their Time Management course as my guinea pig. And guess what?

Now, I've bumped up the price to $97 and plan to use this course as an upsell. It's been a win-win situation.
I've been a customer/fan ever since
My training and coaching practice is more profitable and less stressful because of Content Sparks.
