Turning Dreams into Goals into Profit
Most business start up courses include boring and complicated out dated Business Plans. Most businesses fail within the first two years. Don’t waste time by getting stuck in the planning process. Whether it’s a side hustle that you’re looking to grow or a passion your looking to promote, with a little planning you can take your ideas from paper to pitch.
In this class we’ll, remove the filters and take a look at what it really takes to go from a business idea to launching a business. Whether you want to be a small business owner, a solopreneur, or an entrepreneur, the process is the same. This course primarily focuses on creating a business in the United States; however, students located outside of the U.S. will still learn the basics of creating a business.
This class respects all legal business ideas. No legal business idea will be turned down.
What would a typical day in class look like?
Class will begin with an explanation of the focus of the day. For students who have no idea what business to start, or a million ideas, they’ll learn how to narrow down the list, and find something they can focus on. The teacher will then facilitate a discussion where students will work to refine their business idea. Each class includes writing in Google Docs to formulate their business plan.
During the last day of class, students will “pitch” their idea to the panel. Each student will have an opportunity to share their business ideas and the likelihood of it’s success with the goal of convincing classmates to invest in their business. Students will learn to ask questions of potential investment deals.
