The Co-Creative Blueprint:

Build What Matters, Serve What Lasts, Launch What Works.

Module 1

Have you ever felt the spark of an idea that could change everything? That whisper of possibility that won't let you go?

Then bam – doubt hits, and you question maybe you're not ready, your idea’s not good enough, or the goal is too far out of reach? Starting is usually where the resistance hits hardest.

You’re here because you’ve felt the nudge—maybe a whisper in your heart or an idea that won’t let you go. Today, I am going to help you achieve what may be the hardest thing for those with creative ideas; to help you start…today!

But ideas, on their own, won’t get you far. They need legs. More importantly, they need to serve. Forget the old line, “build it and they will come”—trust me, you can have a killer idea, but if it doesn’t speak to them where it counts, then it’s just empty hype, no matter how good it sounds in your head.

That’s why this is more than just a creative exercise. It’s a chance to help you finish—to build something that matters—something that makes people pause, think, and feel understood. Because when it lands in the right hands, the response you want isn’t just, “Oh, that’s nice.” No, you want them to say, “This is exactly what I needed.” It’s about the impact—something that transforms lives—including your own.

Whether you're creating a Product (a tangible item people want), delivering a Service (that serves a need), or presenting an Experience (an event or interaction that impacts your audience)—your PSE—needs to serve a purpose.

So, bring that perspective. Bring the heart, the depth, and the genuine desire to make a difference. It’s what will set you apart, and it’s what people will remember you by.

Lesson Objectives Parts 1 - 5:

  1. Craft Your 3-Year Vision Big Picture with clarity and purpose.

  2. Learn how to reverse engineer your vision into actionable steps.

  4. Create a clear, step-by-step plan right down to your first week.

  5. Anchor your vision with Scriptural truths that inspire faith and perseverance.

 

Part 1

Part 1: Craft Your 3-Year Vision—The Big Picture

What Is a 3-Year Vision?

A 3-year vision is your long-term goal for your PSE—what success looks like after three years of hard work, faith, and consistency. This vision includes:

  • Your Impact: How will your PSE change lives?

  • Your Audience: Who will you serve, and what problem will you

  • solve?

  • Your Results: What tangible outcomes will show that you’ve succeeded (e.g., revenue, reach, recognition)?

 

Action Step: Write Your 3-Year Vision

In two paragraphs, describe your 3-year vision in detail. Include:

  • Where you want your idea to be.

  • Who you want to serve.

  • The changes you want to see in the world because of your PSE.

  • Example:

"In three years, I want my art workshops (experience) to reach X amount of people locally/worldwide, helping them reconnect with their creativity and faith. By year three, I’ll have a team, a dedicated online platform, and live events in three cities. I’ll see lives transformed as people discover how creativity can be an act of worship and healing."

 

Part 2

Part 2: Reverse Engineering Your Vision


What Is Reverse Engineering?


Reverse engineering in this case means starting with your big goal (your 3-year vision) and working backward to figure out the steps needed to get there. Think of it like planning a road trip: you choose your destination first, then map out how to get there step by step.

                                        

Break It Down: Crafting Your 1-Year Blueprint & Stage 1 MVP

Bridging Dreams to Action


1-Year Vision: Where do you need to be in 12 months to stay on track for your 3-year goal?

• Mini Task Example: "By the end of Year 1, I will have launched my ………. online, reached X amount participants, and secured a small team of volunteers."


6-Month Goal: What needs to happen halfway through the first year?

• Mini Task Example: "By Month 6, I will have a prototype/stage 1 ( Stage 2 MVP) of my ………. ready, completed my ………., and started gathering interest on …….”

3-Month Goal: What are the smaller steps that will lay the foundation for your 6-month goal?

• Mini Task Example: "By Month 3, I will finalise my ……. content, research ……., and launch a simple ……. to collect email signups."

Next-Month Goal: Your Tasks for Next Month—The Key to Staying on Track

• Mini Task Example: "In Month 1, I’ll write an outline for my Stage 1 MVP, create a list of potential platforms, and start sharing my idea on …….a to build excitement."

Next Week's Plan: What do you need to do next week to move closer to your 1-month outcome?

• Mini Task Example: “By next week I’ll craft a succinct and compelling sentence “what is it?” description (your elevator pitch) of my core offering. What do I want people to know about my PSE in 30 seconds?”

 

Mini Task:

  • Write down milestones for each time frame: 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month, and next week. This will create a clear path forward.


  • *I have six carefully crafted examples to describe each timeline. You have my permission to use them as templates for your own Mini Tasks.


  • Select one that resonates with your vision, and use it to map out your 3-year milestones, then step by step breaking down those timelines to your next month's and next week’s goals.

                                        

Part 3

Part 3: First Week Action Plan

 

Your Starting Steps

For the first week, focus on one or two small and achievable tasks that build momentum:

1. Research: Study your target audience. Who are they, and what do they need?

2. Create: Draft a rough outline your 30-second pitch.

3. Connect: Share your idea with one or two trusted people for feedback and encouragement.

Mini Task:

Commit to one action for each category—research, create, and connect—and schedule it for the 1st week of your creative adventure!

                                        

Why This All Matters

Clarity Breeds Progress

Having a clear vision gives you focus. It ensures every decision aligns with your ultimate goal. Without it, you risk wasting time on distractions.

Scriptural Anchor

“Write the vision;

make it plain on tablets,

so he may run who reads it.” – Habakkuk 2:2 (ESV)

This Scripture reminds us that a clear vision equips not only you but also those who will support, follow, and benefit from your idea. God blesses the work of your hands when you step forward in faith and obedience in Him.

                                        

Homework

1. Write your detailed 3-year vision and break it into 1-year, 6-month, 3-month, 1-month to your first week goals.

2. Identify your Stage 1 MVP and describe what it looks like.

3. Share your vision and Stage 1 MVP plan with a peer or mentor for feedback.

                                        

Final Takeaway

This lesson is about starting strong. Your PSE is more than an idea—it’s a calling. By crafting a vision, creating a roadmap, and taking small steps today, you are setting the stage for a legacy that will serve others and glorify God. Let this process be a journey of faith and action as you bring your vision to life!

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance,

but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” — Proverbs 21:5 (ESV)
