Starting Up
The phrase “starting your own business” may seem daunting to some aspiring entrepreneurs. Well, turning your idea into a reality does not have to be difficult. A lot of people can be turned off from realizing their dreams when they realize all of the work that goes into a startup.
Additionally, while there is plenty of information on the internet, it can be hard to discern what is helpful and what is not. Especially if you have little prior knowledge of starting a business and entrepreneurship.
What We Offer
In this 8-week course, we will show you how to take your brilliant idea and turn it into a functioning business. We have carefully selected and compiled information for you to access easily, so you can spend less time searching the internet, and more time working on your business!
Each week will focus on a different topic such as writing a business plan, securing funding, and marketing. We aim to teach you everything you need to know about starting your own business and provide practical support for every step along the way.
Not only will there be written content for you to learn from, but there will be a variety of resources including worksheets, templates, handbooks, videos, and podcasts. These practical elements will enable you in your journey to create your business. They will also help you with tasks such as creating marketing calendars and spreadsheets.
It is often easier to learn through practice rather than just by reading information. You can use the tools provided to gain a deeper understanding of important areas of business such as planning your budgets and managing your expenses.
