DWEN rewards’ Create Your Own Advantage is a four-part series on the power boost within the “power pause” – strategic planning, a coveted DWEN rewards experience for DWENbassadors, the most active DWEN members.

For Beatriz B. Alves and BR Goods, pursuing scale was no longer an ambition, nor a choice. In a bolder power move, she turned to her DWEN network for encouragement and trusted insights on how to parlay BR Goods’ industry stronghold into strategic growth and expansion.
Her generosity of spirit and participation within DWEN earned her the coveted distinction of DWENbassador, the most active of our DWEN members enrolled in DWEN Rewards. Beatriz and a cohort of eight DWENbassadors were afforded a rare and valuable advantage – strategic planning – a power pause that offers maxed-out founders a coveted and productive respite from the daily grind. The Pivotal Power Agenda Workshop was presented by Ashley Miles, Founder & CEO of Franklyn West, a Business Growth Collective.
Ashley is committed to transformation and sustainable growth for courageous companies and leaders. Her proprietary framework has been used to scale businesses from seed stage to nine figures. It identifies and standardizes key elements of business success to translate a founder’s vision into a high-level, actionable growth strategy. It aligns leadership upfront and expedites a longer-range strategic planning process from the typical three months to three weeks!
Why is this a critically important spin on strategic planning? Because the last person who has time – or runway! – to burn on anything NOT actively generating revenue is an entrepreneur! And investors love nothing more than founders willing to take a power pause for a sustainable, long-range power plan!
We all have the power and potential to reimagine the future – as people, as businesses, and as leaders – by defining a bold picture, action plan and sustaining growth over time.
