Financial Business Plan

We are excited to be launching a new business, Will2Well In person Gym. With any launch, having a financial plan is one of the keys to success, and we would like to involve students in creating one for our new venture. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Learning about our business strategy from various employees to become familiar with our goals, mission, and products. Creating forecasts using Excel (or another financial software) for sales in the first year of operation as well as an income projection (conservative and aggressive). Working with our team to develop an expense budget. Conducting a break-even analysis timeline using financial projections. Reporting on projected assets and liabilities. Including visual comparisons such as graphs and charts to show the differences between the conservative and aggressive income projection.

Content Creator and Writer Project

The main project is for a content writer and creator who can contribute to Spinning Forward's content by producing impactful and engaging stories that help our audience of aspiring 16 to 34 year-old online content creators in the Greater Toronto Area succeed. We are a local journalism company that covers issues important to 16 to 34 year old people of color who aspire to become content creators. We covers issues important to our audience in the real world like affordability, food insecurity, mental health and others as well as issues in the online world like comparison culture, burnout, financial inclusion and how to earn a living, online negative comments and many other topics. Additionally, a writer and content creator will be curious, have great research skills and want to improve ther storytelling and writing skills. They also have an interest in issues like social justice, equity and diversity and financial inclusion for underrepresented and marginalized communities. Embody Spinning Forward's approach to writing by sifting out the “noise” from the 24-hour news cycle and telling news stories in a way that will resonate most with our readers, who are Gen Z and Millennials. Bring a curiosity-driven mindset to your work. One day you might be learning about a personal finance creator and the next you'll be covering how AI is changing how creators do what they do. --- PLEASE REMEMBER: We highly value lived experiences and strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t believe you meet every one of the qualications described.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization, and we are most interested in nding the best candidate for the job. That candidate may be one who comes from a background less traditional to our field of work, and we welcome the new insight such a candidate would provide.
