Description

CREATE A PROFITABLE, THRIVING BUSINESS - EVEN IF YOU’VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE.
Imagine turning your business idea into a reality with the step-by-step guidance of an expert entrepreneur. This course is your ultimate roadmap, showing you exactly how to transform almost any idea into a profitable, thriving business.
Achieve the freedom and independence that comes from being your own boss!
The course includes my 200-page business plan book which is used by a number of universities.
GREAT FOR BEGINNERS
Even if you are an absolute beginner, this course will guide you to successfully plan and start your business. You will first learn about successful entrepreneurship mindsets to unlock the right kinds of motivation to become a resilient entrepreneur.
With the right mindset, you won't give up until you reach and surpass your goals!
PRACTICAL, WITH REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES FOR TODAY'S BUSINESSES
All examples in this course are taken from entrepreneurs just like you or scenarios that I faced personally. This ensures that the course is up-to-date with today's business challenges, and the advice you get is helpful in today's business landscape.
Plus, the advice you get in this course isn't theoretical - it's practical from real experience.
DO YOU FEEL LOST STARTING YOUR FIRST BUSINESS? GET EXPERT GUIDANCE
Millions of aspiring entrepreneurs feel uncertain, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to begin, so they start too late or never do.
I’ve been there. I know what it's like to face the struggles, stress, and doubts that come with starting a business - because 20 years ago, I was in your shoes.
Now, I’m here to guide you every step of the way so you can take action, and avoid the costly mistakes new entrepreneurs usually make.
I'll help you select the best business idea, plan effectively, register your business, raise money, and start with the right fundamentals to maximize your chances of success.
RECENTLY ADDED: Interactive course project where we build a real business together!
Want to build a business with me side-by-side? Now you can? I created a class project to which all students can contribute, and you join to work as a community of entrepreneurs.
We’ll build an online eCommerce store, brainstorm strategies, and share ideas while learning from real-world examples.
It’s all practical, collaborative, and packed with insights you can’t find anywhere else. The skills and experience gained here are worth hundreds of dollars alone, giving you unmatched value for starting or growing your own business.

By the end of this course, you’ll go from aspiring entrepreneur to confident business owner, able to smart business decisions and achieve your goals. AND you’ll save years of struggle and avoid costly mistakes that could waste hundreds of thousands of dollars.
DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS IDEA? SEE HOW TO GET PROFITABLE BUSINESS IDEAS THAT WORK
While many people in this course already have a business idea that they want to grow into a business, many people have not found a business idea they love. For that reason, there is a section in this course about finding profitable business ideas. You will learn how to evaluate business ideas and perform the right business idea analysis and planning in order to find the one great business idea to work on and turn into a profitable business.
LEARN 10 DIFFERENT FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES TO KICKSTART YOUR BUSINESS
Many people get fixated on one way to raise money, and waste a lot of time pursuing that method. Instead, I'll help you kickstart your entrepreneurship journey by showing you many different fundraising strategies so you can get money from multiple sources.
Some examples are getting a small business loan or a personal loan to fund your business. You can also get a business grant, and of course, you can also do crowdfunding on websites like Kickstarter or GoFundMe. I'll also show you how to find, approach, and pitch investors. Plus, we'll explore a number of creative and lesser-known ways to raise money.
BY THE END OF THIS COURSE, YOU’LL BE READY TO BUILD YOUR DREAM BUSINESS
This course will give you the clarity, confidence, and skills to take your first bold steps toward real business success. You’ll become a decisive, independent entrepreneur with a clear vision of where your business is headed and how to make it happen.
Sign up today, and use this course as a step-by-step entrepreneurship guide to go from business ideas to starting a successful business.
