@akbarrafsWorking with the SFTV team has never been a greater joy than now. A team which everyone is a leader of themselves, takes initiatives to get things done.
With great honor and respect, we've completed our Final Quest: Step Two which is creating a business plan for Speak Freely TV. The links are below!

Let me show you how.
When I start getting notifications from Speak Freely TV discord channel, I was sick for 2 days, food poisoned to be exact. Everyone started introducing themselves and discussing "What are we gonna do for this project?" kind of topics. Remarkable ideas were thrown everywhere in the channel, which is beautiful to see. At this point, I was a spectator.
2 days later, just after
The first question suggested is "What are you most afraid of?" and second question is "If you know the world is listening, what would you say?". Everyone liked these kinds of questions. My brain started looking how these are connected, what are the intentions.
Aha! The intention is "To provide a free platform for poeple to express themselves freely, from a space of authenticity and vulnerability without being discriminated or judged." It's a vision that I deeply believe in.
I suggested this vision and everyone agreed to it right away. It's a beautiful cause, really. "I'll be glad to work a project like this!"
Now that our beliefs are aligned, we're starting getting into real business.
Since the beginning, all of us love to make a video since it's Speak Freely TV after all! It's a TV show. Here I've suggested an idea with the intention to work closer together, making a collaboration video. Not sure this is how you call it but the video comprised of all of us talking at separate locations. You can view the video at 
Then the filmmaker in the house,
Then comes my long comment. Like I've mentioned, I am the big picture person at the beginning. I suggested we need to have goals and how we know we've achieved those goals, aka metrics. Of course, with suggestions comes example. I do not believe in suggesting "We need to do something" without tell people what that something is. It's almost like a bullshit to me, really.
As this post is about giving myself credits, I'd not do that entirely because what I've contributed is an outcome of the team spirit. I'd like to give as much credits to each of the team members as well.
Moving on, all of us started to work on the Google docs. What we're missing is a framework or template of a business plan.
The Google Docs was blank in the beginning so I've decided to document, organize and write down everything we have discussed so far. I've also created a open question section in the document, because important questions always get pushed up in discord. They remain hidden until you scroll up or search.
I read what everyone have said and agreed then write those down in Google Docs, suchh as vision, goals, metrics, teams and budget. Pretty much all the big chunks.
Everything I've updated I make it transparent. I "report" to the team what I've done and what I've changed.
Regularly, I will check on Google Docs to see what can I refine more, enhance more and fill in the missing gaps. Sometime I'll see some of my team members viewing and editing the docs too!
On the creativity side, I've decided to spice things up in the proposal, particularly the role description. It sounds like a class description in a game. Here's an example :
At the same time, the business "writer" me comes into play. Writing stuff down in points and concise is the way to go for a business proposal. For the empty parts such as budget and deliverables, they're in point form so that it's easier for you to read.
At this point, other team members have filled other parts such as executive summary, success criteria, and others.
In this project, I was flexible enough to wear different hats to contribute at different times. When I need to be big pictured, I will be. When I need to be an initiator, I will be. When I need to be a writer, I will be.
However, I am not perfect in this team. There are some areas I need to improve as well.
This is a learning journey for me and I've definitely learn about working effectively with a virtual team and the importance of surrounding myself with like-minded people.
I believe in working to your strengths. I’m glad that
