Turning an idea into a successful business doesn’t happen by accident — it happens through intentional planning. Join the West Monroe West Ouachita Chamber and Regions Bank for this month’s Coffee &amp; Commerce, a focused 30–45 minute learning session designed for business professionals, budding entrepreneurs, and individuals with an emerging business idea who want to move from concept to clarity.

This practical workshop highlights planning as a core competency of entrepreneurship and business leadership. Whether you’re developing a new venture, exploring a side idea, or strengthening an existing operation, you’ll gain a clear framework for making confident decisions and building a business foundation that lenders, partners, and stakeholders can believe in.

Participants will walk through a proven 4-Step Planning Model that simplifies the journey from vision to execution:
The Back-of-the-Napkin Plan — capturing and shaping your core idea
The Resource Plan — identifying what you truly need to launch and grow
The Business Plan &amp; Funding Pathways — aligning your goals with financial support and understanding the role of personal credit and lender relationships
The Action Plan — turning strategy into day-to-day steps using SMART goals

Through real-world examples and guided discussion, attendees will learn how an evolving planning process helps business leaders:
✔ Make informed, strategic decisions
✔ Translate big ideas into realistic resource needs
✔ Strengthen credibility with lenders and supporters
✔ Build momentum with a practical, daily action roadmap

Coffee &amp; Commerce is built for busy professionals — high value, immediately applicable, and community-focused. We’re grateful to Regions Bank for partnering with the Chamber to bring financial insight and business expertise that supports healthy, sustainable growth in our region.

Come for the coffee. Leave with a plan.
