Foundation Barossa ‘BUILD’ Business Coaching Scholarships

Are you a small business in the Barossa?

Would you benefit from four months business coaching and mentorship to develop the sustainability of your business and ensure its capacity to grow?

Our BUILD small business scholarships offer three x four months scholarships through Next Level Up Business Coaching & Mentoring.

Each scholarship is valued at $8,000

Through initiatives like this, Foundation Barossa is investing in the long term health and resilience of the community, by promoting education and encouraging achievement.

Why apply for a BUILD scholarship?

Most small business owners – at some point – dream of a time when the thing they are creating will give them freedom. Financial freedom and the freedom to fulfill the rest of their dreams

These scholarships provide practical and accessible business coaching and mentoring to address the issues that typically constrain small businesses and slow their growth.

The program will address:

structure for growth; management, leadership and staff accountability;
development of systems that free the owner up to focus on the higher level work that needs to be done
strategies to deal with pressures of time, people and money

This is a great opportunity for pro-active business owners to look at their business objectively. What’s working. What’s not working? What are its strengths and weaknesses? What needs to be tweaked, created or improved?

Learn skills to help you turn your business into something that serves your life, instead of the other way around.

What is your commitment with the scholarship?

If you are a recipient of a scholarship, you commit to:

An initial half day meeting with your coach (with the exception of the first meeting, all meetings will be virtual)
