Nancy OKeefe of Life by Design and Laura Willis of Willis-Works Communications Have Launched a Collaborative Project to Help Would-be Entrepreneurs "Hatch" Their Business

Hanson, MA, December 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Nancy OKeefe of Life by Design and Laura Willis of Willis-Works Communications have launched a collaborative project to help would-be entrepreneurs "hatch" their business ideas. Through a series of webinars and coaching sessions, Incubate Your Biz will step participants through a program that lets them explore entrepreneurship, their small business idea and lay the groundwork for a business launch in 90 days. “We know there are a number of people out there that are frustrated by their current work situation or lack thereof”, says OKeefe, a certified career and executive coach. “Many of them want to put their fate in their own hands or need a way to generate a second income to supplement what they have coming in. We’d like to provide them with a sound start. No one can afford to jump into business without thinking it through.”

This 8-session program is different from others available as it is fast, practical, hands-on yet affordable. It requires a lot of work on the part of participants but each completes the program with a customized action plan, not just a notebook full of notes or an “A” on a test. The program also has a go/no-go decision point where participants, armed with good data, can make an informed decision about whether to go forward. Then, if ready to hatch, Incubate Your Biz will provide a Hatch Package of operations, marketing and technology services to get the business launched.

When asked why they are collaborating on this, Laura Willis of Willis-Works Communication said, “We both believe that entrepreneurs bring innovation and new ideas to the marketplace and we want to give them the right tools to build a successful business. The economy needs a boost. Small business can contribute to creating needed new jobs and we are excited to help the community”.

O'Keefe and Willis will hold their first full webinar series, "How to Hatch a Small Business in 90 Days", starting January 12, 2011 and are offering free previews now thru early January. For additional information or to see the full schedule of preview webinars interested parties can go to www.incubateyourbiz.com, or e-mail a request to register@incubateyourbiz.com.

Nancy O'Keefe has been a business owner since 1995, has an MBA with a focus on Entrepreneurship and is a Certified Executive Career Coach with over 30 years of management and business operations experience. Laura Willis made the shift from the corporate world to becoming a business owner herself in 2004, has a BFA in Advertising and Design with over 25 years experience in advertising agencies and the corporate environment creating strategic and integrative branding solutions.
