The Plan & Prepare Thriving Toolkit is designed to help you manage your business with the tools and skills you already have! No extra subscriptions or programs, no jargon or tech-speak. Just practical solutions that you can implement straight away!
If you still aren't sure, then maybe these top tips will help you decide if it's right for you:
I use Microsoft on the web - will this be an issue?
All of Thrive's templates and resources are designed to be used with Microsoft 365, and will work on both the web and desktop versions (Mac and PC too!).
You may experience some issues updating headers and footers in Word on the web. It is possible, but will take a little bit more patience to complete. None of the Excel resources require editing of the headers or footers.
Can I build my own customised toolkit?
Not at this time. The toolkit has been put together specifically for helping you to manage your business finances, using the resources available from Thrive.
If you are interested in putting together a specific set of Thrive products, please get in touch here, and we can see how we can help.
Do I have to be an expert in Microsoft to use a template?
Short answer - no.
All of Thrive's DIY Templates are designed with all of the hard work (formatting, tables, sections, etc) done for you - you just need to add your logo, and change the colour and style of the fonts, and you will have most of what you need to get started.
If you need a little bit more support, your toolkit includes the step-by-step video tutorials, with unlimited access. You can take your time, and use the tutorials to help step you through the process!
Hi there - I'm Marianne (or Maz!)
In case we haven't already connected, I'm the owner, Magic Maker and problem solver here at Thrive. Officially, I'm a systems and processes Online Business Manager (OBM), specialising in Microsoft 365. I'm also certified in some other useful programs like Simplero and Mailchimp.
For years, I worked in corporate administration roles (I worked at every level of admin from reception through to 1:1 Executive Assistant to C-Suite types!). No matter what role I had, I was the problem solver, the 'make it happen' person, when it came to documents, spreadsheets, presentations and systems.
All of this (last-minute, urgent, insane expectation level) experience has shown me that that it's possible to do some incredible things within the tools you already have access to. I know that with a little know-how, you can confidently manage your business and wow clients using practical, common-sense tools that align with how you like to work, and what your clients need!
