The RED Method™
A proven way to turn possibility into action.
A human, accessible and practical approach that helps people with disability discover, build, launch and grow enterprises of their own.
Start with the person
Everyone has the potential to create something of value. RED begins with the person, their strengths, interests, aspirations and life, not a diagnosis, a deficit or a predetermined outcome.
- Strengths before deficits

Lived experience of disability can build entrepreneurial strengths
Living in a world that was not always designed for you can demand ingenuity, resilience, courage, adaptability, risk awareness, networking and the ability to find another way.
These are not simply coping strategies. They are entrepreneurial strengths. The RED Method™ helps people recognise those strengths and use them to create something of their own.
Five steps,
one living journey
The Method provides a clear pathway without forcing every Founder through the same process. Accessible learning, practical tools, coaching and hands-on support are brought together around the person, and their goals.
- Discover
Start with who you are, your interests, strengths, support needs and the life you want.
- Imagine
Turn interests and strengths into enterprise possibilities. You do not need the perfect idea before you begin.
- BUILD
Test the idea, understand customers and costs, and create a practical RED Business Blueprint™.
- LAUNCH
Take the enterprise into the world with coaching, practical assistance and the right support around you.
- GROW
Keep learning, connecting and developing the enterprise at the Founder’s own pace.
One method
A connected set of tools
The RED Method™ is brought to life through the RED Enterprise Workbook, RED Business Blueprint™, Business in a Box resources, RED Online, Ask RED™ and the practical support of RED Enterprise Coaches™ and Assistants.
Built from experience, strengthened by founders
The RED Method™ combines more than 20 years of enterprise practice with lived experience of disability. RED Founders and our Advisory Group continue to test, shape and strengthen it.
