Three Stories

1.  There was a moment several years into my small business, where I questioned moving forward. At that moment, I decided to proceed with the business and rebuild it the way I would if I had started over at that moment. Here, we can also explore the Formula for Intentionality, which is a visual tool for building a strong business foundation and making sense of how purpose, mission, vision, and core values work together. https://www.jasonscottmontoya.com/images/2019/08/formula-intentionality.png

2.  The story of how our marketing business was chaotic and struggled to retain good project managers. To resolve this, we developed the IDEMA project management process for capturing and sustaining ideas. It allowed a group of creative folks to make stuff happen without that elusive project manager we sought. Ideate, Discover, Execute, Maintain, Audit. https://medium.com/@IDEMA/idema-a-framework-for-capturing-sustaining-ideas-91cc811d917

3.  The story of shutting down my marketing company to pursue solopreneurship. Sometimes, ending things is the best thing to do for you the small business owner, your team, and the future of everyone involved. https://www.jasonscottmontoya.com/idema/341-audit-ending-transition
