[@auyannaplants]

Nikki thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this information. I have been in business for approximately 3 years. It has been trial and error just seeing what works and what does not. Many people already in the business do not want to share or help. I am the complete opposite, if there is anything I can help anyone with I am willing. While my business is slowly expanding I have also wasted a lot of time and money in the process. I currently work a full time job but I have decided I am giving myself 7 more years and I am totally focusing on my business full time. I am so excited and looking forward to your series. Thank you so much!!

[@poet82n]

Southern Entertaining I'm the same way. And definitely with the working full-time and giving myself 7 years before I take the leap in full-time business owner.

[@veliciahiley7652]

Just wonderful, I've been looking for "personal business organizers" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Xanmily Yonandon Finder - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.

[@ms.dekatur7082]

[@timothyanderson1854]

Nikki I really enjoyed watching this. I am in the process of creating my own business binder (again...it's time it was updated) for my work and this reminded me of things I need that I didn't think of. Nice video!

[@marisolandres3559]

Nikki I am SO grateful for this content as well as your free business plan printable, the information you have provided is so valuable! I am an artist & the way you broke everything down into its simplest form is IDEAL for my type of thinking...God bless you, your business and team 💖😍

[@munekita77]

I’m loving this series! Thank you so much Nikki! ...Now, to look for that binder. 😍😉🙃

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for this. I was just floundering around trying to sort this out. I am starting a "side hustle" that I can wok on full time because I am retired. Some of the questions you asked in the video are just what I needed to be answering.

[@lousytolovely4570]

Thanks for this, Nikki! This is exactly what I need :) Continued success and good health to you and everyone you care about :)

[@teachhoustontoswim]

Nikki! You are truly a girl boss. I am in my late twenties and find your content incredibly inspirational. I was wondering if you could do an advice video on building confidence. It can seem so daunting to step outside into the world and watching you achieve your goals so fearlessly is truly admirable. Blessings to you and your family!

I was a caregiver making soaps and lotions on the side just as gifts really but the lady i was caring for recently was put into a home so i figured i already love doing this and want to make it full time. I have saved some money up for starting up and buying my supplies. I do have a friend who started a business and has been successful and lives off of only that and that is really where i want to be and just create things people love and show my artsy side

[@MrsArchiver]

I remember subscribing to your channel when you had 10,000 subscribers (under Terry Elisabeth Too). I know now how weird it is to talk to a camera 😁. Thank you for being brave!

I loved your video and I am going to use your binder concept. I have two businesses that I am working on. So I am finding your information very helpful. My primary business is SEO Consulting doing it by myself and I have a partner in the second business which is product related. I will be following you on Instagram and going to your website for more information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Claire

[@emtownsendx1]

Thank you for the information

[@suejoplin0813]

This series has been so helpful. I am starting an organic dog treat business. The goal is to make it full time.

[@Quickdrawmcgraw357]

Great video, and thank you for your tips and tricks!! I have been trying to find new ways of optimizing my business planner!! I'm full time, self employed and feel like my true "job" is simply finding solutions no matter the task at hand. I've always kept a pen and pad on me at all times for notes etc. Something about putting important information in my phone seems to just get "lost". A "business plan" before business is important however in my personal experience that is what kept me from starting businesses that other people have had and are seeing success in currently. I thought that I planned for absolutely everything, and for the most part I did business wise, but honestly it just isn't 100% possible. Business is about adapting and making it work no matter what. In the last year some appliances crapped out (They are all kenmore which is owned by sears and they are going out of business so it'll be difficult to source parts for soon), had some plumbing issues, was bitten by a copperhead which that up costing a small fortune even with good insurance! As well as a few other unforeseen events. I knew how much money that I needed for all of my bills, house, and saved and planned accordingly. Another "issue" that I've run into is coordinating with other people and businesses ordering/shipping essential products when they say that they are, as well as many other things. My point is don't let not having the perfect "business plan" before you begin stop you from accomplishing your goals, because it's going to be changing so rapidly you'll barely have time to breath. You just have to start and take it from there, you'll honestly learn a GREAT deal along the way. Embrace the journey!!

[@katseyes4835]

Thanks Nikki for the info. I wish the video was longer I need more details.

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

I cannot wait to implement this system for our business. I'm in a band named Eminent Vibrations and we specialize in jazz, however can play most genres well. It has been a bit overwhelming with one of our members going on hiatus and the manager (as well as myself) having serious health problems. How do you create a contingency plan when you're recovering from a serious accident? I'm not nearly as bad as I was initially, but I do still have my days. Yet, I want to get on top of the business and run it, not let it run me.

[@AngiedSanders45]

Awesome Nikki

[@angiecollins1276]

Nikki, I'm ready to start. I've been sitting on my styling/events/production company for years....out of fear. I kept thinking thinking that I'm not really "solving a problem" so I over complicated things with each wanna be leap of faith. I love this series. Can you share printables and more detail on each section....especially for creative professionals? Thanks and love all you do! -Angie (Charlotte)

[@WonderCle]

Very useful tips

[@Jidigga81]

Great vid, as always! I’m about to dust of one of my million planners and use it for real estate as a side hustle😄

[@alexisthompson9176]

Hi Nikki! I started & completed my mission statement, then you started this series. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all that you share. Please tell me which disc binder are you using?

[@davidawilliams8603]

I am going to start out as a side huddle and then go full time. Goal of full time is next spring.

[@kywanstephens]

Nikki thanks for taking the time to make this awesome video. I was wondering witch printable was free?

[@WonderCle]

My friend and I are planning to become personal organisers! We are launching a new blog and further digital content to come, then we will start our in person and on-line counselling activity. For now is a side hustle, our goal is this to become our main job!

[@RomyMacias]

[@donnettepink9100]

Good info whare did you buy your binder and ring clips from ❓

[@agustina0110]

thank you!

[@jessicaadair8435]

Nikki, thank you for this, would you suggest using more than one business plan sheet to break down the different aspects of a business that is multifaceted? For example, do you use more than one sheet for your businesses, At Home With Nikki, At Work With Nikki, and your stationary line?

[@heygg84]

Get video, thank you.

[@lincsprincess36]

Nikki is there a print out for the Mission Statement...or is the Mission Statement I construct?

I would love to see a video about how to pick the right employees ? and how to find and to know a trustful bookkeeper and web developer? Pleassssssssse

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

What is your ring bound planner called? Where did you get it and where did you get the cover? Thank you :)

[@newlynatural9937]

Where did you buy the disks?

[@Lifegemswithslm]

Where is that notebook from? I looked on sessa vee, but didn't find one. Is this a different brand?

[@latashaford82]

Where can I get this from? The folder.

[@milcandorrielan9574]

HI NIKKI, I WAS CHECKING FOR THE MISSION STATEMENT ON THE FREE PRINTABLE BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT TO PRINT OUT, CAN YOU HELP PLEASE. THNX.

[@VONALEXANDRIA]

Nikki, would you consider selling this entire Business Plan binder set up? I know I could do some of it myself but your set up is PERFECT. How much will you sell it to me for.

[@davidawilliams8603]

Von Alexandria I think she does sell the pages on her website. Look in the "printable" section.

[@33agray]

Hey Nikki. Where did you get the tabs from? I love them.

[@jadesjourneyss8208]

I recently got them from Walmart it came with 25 tabs per color and there’s 4 colors

[@trishasinbox]

where can i order that binder? I plan events at my job and i am looking for something to help me stay organized. great vid!

[@lakishatoussaint]

trishasinbox this looks like the TŪL notebooks that you can find at OfficeMax/OfficeDepot. They also have the pages, discs of various sizes, and other accessories...like those fabulously smooth TŪL gel pens. Happy planning.

[@veliciahiley7652]

Staples, Franklin planners.

[@stacig5869]

I love these notebooks and I've been using them for years. I use the Staples Arc brand. It looks just like this one.

[@Kre8iviT27]

MissPink273 this link is just for the paper that goes into the binder.

[@loisnwobodo243]

Hi Nikki. A quickie: Will I put down all those details you mentioned on one page? For e.g., my financials, basics, marketing ALL on the spaces( lines) that I see printed on your downloadable business template? And the tabs you have on, don't they refer to different pages in the folder? Kindly reply. I'm a bit confused.

[@Monificent1]

Side hustle definitely

[@KenKen-wl9mc]

Hey Nikki, Would you recommend a start up business applying for LLC or Sole Proprietor?

[@knulife8344]

Sole proprietors have no personal protections from liability. Depending on your state laws, llc's vary according to state law, registration as an ll may protect your personal assets from business liabilities. Check your Secretary of State website for local structure in your state and you can check IRS.gov for federal tax implications.

[@poet82n]

Ken Ken I did a sole proprietor because it's less overhead to start up. And ther is no yearly tax fee unlike LLC which iN California is $800+. That can be intimidating for a new start-up. But I have plans in a years time to switch to an LLC, so that I can have limited liability and asset protection. Hope this helps.

[@nicolprofittkh]

Llc is much better

[@susanvelez6534]

I want to do a side hustle from home Nikki, have a virtual assistant business, where I find virtual assistants for companies, CEO's, venture Capitalists etc. I am a single 56 year old mom of a 15 year old daughter. I was an assistant for 30 years. Or I want to write a book about what no one taught us baby boomers about money.
