Description

Starting your own business is
scary
.
Really scary
.
How do you know if your idea is any
good
? Or if your customers will
ever
show up?
How do you know... what you're doing
AT ALL
?
There's no place, degree, or university that can teach you how to become a successful Entrepreneur.
You just have to get out there and learn everything for yourself.
One step at a time....
Right?
Wrong.
Entrepreneurship is not a mythical, illusive creature and it's not a secret that's hidden behind doors.
You
CAN
learn how to become a successful Entrepreneur and you
CAN
learn how to prepare yourself.
In this course, we're going to do just that.
You're going to learn everything you need to know about being an Entrepreneur, like:
The core concepts
How to think like an Entrepreneur
What you should care about and conversely ignore
How to go about gathering the resources you need to tackle your dream
And when you're completely ready to go toe to toe with any "
veteran
" business owner out there, you're going to learn something they wish they knew:
How to consistently come up with insightful, actionable business ideas
It's everything you need to get started.
You'll go from 0  to Entrepreneur in no time.
