🐻 FOSSA - An Agile Business Development Framework for Solopreneurs
by Jeff Eddy | at Minnebar 19
The Fossa is a unique Malagasy apex predator that hunts Lemurs through the treetops. It is a solitary hunter, fast, specialized, and incredibly agile.
Just like Solopreneurs.
The FOSSA framework takes the best parts of the Agile Software Development and Scrumban methodologies and tailors it to solve the biggest business development issue that Solopreneurs inevitably face: how to work ON your business while busily working IN your business.
FOSSA combines long-term strategic vision with tactical 9-Week Stories, broken down into four 2-Week Sprints and a 1-Week Review and Reset. Individuals can scope their work to fit their available time and plan Stories for periods that fit their lifestyle.
In this session I will give an overview of the framework and provide some examples for how to implement it in your own business.
Stop struggling to make progress without a system designed to work the way you do.
Be Fast... Be Observant... Be Strategic... Be Sustainable... Be Agile...

Jeff Eddy
I'm a corporate Customer and Product Operations ex-pat, loving the heck out of working for myself and building the sort of things I want to see in the world.
My primary passion is expanding my 25+ year old full-service niche publishing company, Sofawolf Press INC, from a part-time passion project into a full-time business focusing on helping mid-to-emerging genre storytellers maximize the footprint of their IP. We are part traditional publisher, part agent, part marketing team, and part operations consulting... allowing storytellers and visual creators to focus on their art rather than how to maximize the visibility of it.
My secondary passion is Notion and introducing it to creators as a solution to keeping their business operations organized and out of their way. I use Notion exclusively for my own business, have been using it personally for almost 6 years, and am a Notion Ambassador and community educator.
Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn to learn more about me, my services, and my passion for Minnesota, creatives, and Notion.
