Are you right at the very beginning, discovering and realizing your Chocolate Banana, and you don’t know how to start?

Do you need to re-energize and focus to get back on track towards your true passion?

“Life is short–eat dessert first! Come for the chocolate banana, stay for the meat! I loved the concept of the “chocolate banana”! That hooked me immediately. Sara walked us through the meat of the process of finding “your own one fabulous idea” and making it come to life. This girl is the real deal!!”

Why all this talk about Chocolate Bananas?

Why not!?

• They’re delicious.
• They take time to prepare.
• Not everyone thinks they can make them, but they’re surprisingly simple to make.
• If you don’t plan ahead of time, your chocolate won’t stick to your banana and you’re left with a messy pile of banana flavored chocolate (not always a bad thing but not the result we’re looking for…).
• Everyone’s chocolate banana will be different.
• Did I mention they’re delicious?

In my work with Creatives I’ve discovered a very real issue that plagues creative individuals with big exciting goals: lack-of-planning-itis!

They have the spark of an idea that’s amazing and wonderful but they fail to plan it out completely so getting to that end point is much harder than they anticipated.

Here are some examples of times when planning has not been at the front of a Creative’s mind:

“You mean I have to do all the marketing for my book after I write it?! What the…what?!
– Overwhelmed Author

“I want this blog tour for my new project to be ready in two weeks. What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
– Overextended Artist
