This online course shows you how entrepreneurs think about starting a business and how they develop startups.  You’ll learn everything from business planning essentials to the most commonly used business strategies.  Whether you’re a small business entrepreneur or you’re starting an empire, this course will show you how to bring your idea to the market so you can get started building your business today.  

We’re going to learn theory first and then take a look at examples of existing businesses where you can see it in action. We’ll also roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty, creating our own business models.

At the beginning of this course, I’ll show you that business models are everywhere.  Then, I’ll show you how every model breaks down into the same 9 parts over and over again using the Business Model Canvas.  Additionally, we’ll take a look at the six main strategies that businesses use in planning their models.  Finally, I’ll show you how to develop your own business model, and I’ll demonstrate how to pitch the model to other people using a fill-in-the-blank script I created.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to start a fully functional business with the tools and strategies you’ll learn.  You can take that passion project you’ve been working on and turn it into a side hustle or even a full-on startup.  You’ll know how to take an idea, find a target market for it, and start creating solutions for your customers.

This course is for you if you’re an entrepreneur who is just getting started or if you’re a founder who’s been in business for awhile and want to expand your knowledge.  Whether you’ve got a business idea or you want to become an entrepreneur and don’t know where to start, you’ll be able to walk away from this course knowing what your roadmap looks like so you can keep going with confidence - and a solid plan.

There are no prerequisites or need to have any business knowledge prior to taking this course.
