← Back to eoignitor.orgThis is the menu, not a syllabus. Every month your cohort votes on which module to run next - the sequence below is the natural journey from Foundation to Scale, but your group decides what it needs most right now. Cohorts typically cover 10 to 12 modules per year.
One more thing, straight from member feedback: you asked for more implementation structure. So every module now ends with one concrete homework item for the month - and your cohort will ask about it at the next stucks & wins.
Every module is a 4-hour Incubator Day:
At the end of each Incubator Day, your cohort votes on next month's module. Your mentor facilitates but doesn't decide. Pick what your businesses need, not what looks tidy on paper - the arcs are a map, not a track.

A priced offer sheet: your offers, tiers, and prices on one page.
Raise or restructure one price this month. Report what actually happened, not what you feared.
Make the numbers work. Most businesses at this stage don't have a revenue problem, they have a margin and cash problem. This arc fixes that.
A per-unit economics sheet for your top three offers, with real margins.
Recost your best seller with actual numbers, not estimates. Bring the before and after.
A 13-week cash forecast built with your own numbers, in the workshop.
