Description
Plan any project using this ridiculously simple and ludicrously powerful framework.
Learn how to tap into the power of your brain using the Natural Planning Model from Getting Things Done (GTD) to map out and plan anything in your life and business.
What you will learn
- What is a project?
- What is GTD and where did this framework come from?
- The Process:
- Purpose - Asking the why question
- Outcome - Learn how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals so you have clear measures of success
- Brainstorm - Allow your brain to work its magic and list everything that needs to be done
- Organize your thoughts into a prioritized list
- Plan your next steps
- I walk through an example of how to actually use the process by mind mapping and planning out a project
Why you should take this class
As an entrepreneur, I created multiple businesses and spent years fumbling my way through projects with no clear direction or system. When I discovered this process it turned my world upside down. As a visual thinker getting my ideas down into a mind map or on paper reduces my anxiety and makes me feel in control of the things I am trying to achieve. I want to share that process with you.
This is a profoundly simple model that anyone can adopt to plan anything.
Whether you want to plan a new website, create an online course, start a new business, or even personal projects, the framework you will learn here will help make it easy.
Who is this class for?
I teach this method to my coaching clients who are coaches and online entrepreneurs, so the examples I use are suited to that, but the method can be used by anyone looking to be more productive and get things done.
Materials/Resources
In addition to the video lessons, I have created an accompanying Project Planning Workbook that you can use to follow alongside the course and map out your own project.

Instructor's CoursesHello, I'm Colin.
I lectured in Marketing Communications for the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) in the UK.
I've built multiple online businesses, one of which went from zero to £4 million in annual revenue (before it failed spectacularly in 2013).
I’ve since built a thriving marketing coaching and training business where I teach mission-driven entrepreneurs to become the truest version of themselves online and in their marketing.
My mission and purpose (as Seth Godin wrote) is to “help others become who they seek to become”.
