Description
Hello there, intrepid entrepreneur! Starting a business can be one of the most exciting things a person does, it gives you an opportunity to develop a product or service you're passionate about and make money as well, which is what most of us want to do. It can also offer you a chance to have more freedom and opportunities to enjoy the kind of lifestyle you have always wanted.At the same time, running a business can be stressful and frustrating, especially if you're not getting the results that you want.We all start businesses with a great deal of enthusiasm and optimism (as we should) and then we hit bumps on the road where things don't work out as planned. This can lead to not just getting frustrated, but can also hit our confidence and self-esteem and some entrepreneurs end up in a rut and find themselves emotionally and financially distressed. The time spent on a struggling business can end up draining an entrepreneur, draining their finances, getting them into debt (inside and outside the business) and also drain their very souls. (Sounds dramatic, but I know some of you can relate.)Despite the challenges you might be experiencing in running a business, I want you to know that there is always a solution for troubleshooting a business problem. A business is a system and anytime there is a problem in a system, there will be signs that point to where that problem is and how to fix it. I can relate to being a frustrated entrepreneur running a business, because though I have an MBA and a degree in entrepreneurship I have gone through all the stages of grief while running a business! And after years of working on my own business and working with entrepreneurs to develop their businesses, I have figured out what's missing from many entrepreneurs' understanding of building a viable business.The problem is not the business idea as many entrepreneurs think it is. So many people think that if they come up with a better idea, then things will work out. Here's the thing- entrepreneurs often already have amazing ideas for products and services, that people desperately want and need. In fact if you look around you right now, observe the items in your room, some of them are not that creative or fancy and yet someone has developed a strong business model around products that some might describe as mundane. The number one problem is that as soon as entrepreneurs come up with an idea, they start the process of business planning (which is conventional wisdom) but they miss out on one crucial step, they don't develop a business model BEFORE developing a business plan. So let's break down the steps most entrepreneurs make;STEP ONE : The idea. The first thing most entrepreneurs do is start developing an idea and this a crucial step, without an idea, there is nothing to build.STEP TWO: The business plan. The next thing most entrepreneurs do is create a business plan for how they are going to run their business (yikes!)Don't get me wrong, a business plan is an absolutely important tool of running a business and I'm not saying they have no value. What I am saying, is that most entrepreneurs skip the step between having their "AHA" moment when they first get their business idea and the step of creating a business plan. That step is developing a business model around your idea, so it should go;Develop the idea.Develop the business modelDevelop the business planYou might be wondering why developing a business model before developing a business plan is better.Firstly, it's easier. Now if you've ever tried to create a business plan, you understand how much of a headache it is to do one, it has sections in it that will require you to, have either studied business in college or hire professionals to help with and you may or may not have the ability, funding or time to do that. Whereas you don't need to be a business expert to start and complete a business model canvas or expand on one. Secondly, many entrepreneurs never finish developing their business plans. They focus on the parts they understand and get their business started on a shoestring budget and strategy, then work on their business day and night, while trying to plug as many holes as they can, to stay afloat. Whereas developing a business model, could be as simple as working on a Business Model Canvas over the course of an hour or two. To sum it up, preparing a business model before creating a business plan will help you clarify the basic foundations of your business, BEFORE you take the time to create a business plan around it and in some situations might lead you to realize that, as much as you like the product idea you have, that it wouldn't actually work as a business and in this regard, doing a business model will save you the time and money you would spend on a business that is not going to work out. Now that I have hyped you up (hopefully) on how awesome business modeling is, let's look at what a business model is. A business model basically helps you answer the following questions;What is so great about your products or services that people will choose you over another business?Who you will be selling to, how are you going to develop relationships with customers and how are you going to get your products to them?What jobs are you going to have to do, to produce and deliver your products and services?What resources are you going to need, to do the jobs you've identified?Who will help you develop and grow your business?How much it is going to cost to start and keep your business running?How are you going to get paid for the products or services you sell?How much profit you will actually make and (very importantly) is the business worth starting?The great thing about business modeling is that you don't have to be a business expert to create a business model and using this simple to understand course, you will learn how to develop your business model, going step by step through the business model canvas.In the course you will also be exploring the basics of some common business tools, so that once you're done with the course, you will not only understand business modeling, but you will also be able to concisely communicate with business consultants, coaches, mentors and investors about what your business is about and what areas you need help with, because one of the challenges many entrepreneurs face when seeking help, guidance or services from professionals is not being sure if they are getting value for the money they give these experts and this often happens because of the knowledge gap between entrepreneurs' business skills and their service providers' expertise.The purpose of this course is to;Help you understand of the basic fundamentals of developing a viable business around an idea you haveHelp you understand the basic fundamentals of business modelingHelp you develop a business model around your idea.Help you create an outline based on your business model that you can develop into a business planThis course will additionally;Align your professional skills to your business skills.Close the knowledge gap between you and potential business service providers.Advise you on the next steps to take once you've developed your business model outline.Course ResourcesApart from the course video content, included as complimentary tools to the bootcamp, are the following resources;Bootcamp Worksheet Booklet : A 44 page booklet, that you can fill in as a PDF or print out and fill in by hand, that contains all of the worksheets that you'll use to develop your business model and even use in your business at a later date.Bootcamp Workbook: A 78 page workbook that contains worksheets to help you sort through your thoughts around the topics of the bootcamp, develop ideas, consider how the topics apply to your business and will also help you make decisions about your business.Bootcamp Glossary: A guide that contains definitions of business terms you will come across during the bootcamp.Work-along Videos: That will show you how you can fill in the worksheets for your own businesses and give you the confidence to complete other business tools that you may encounter in the course of running your business.Ideal Course ParticipantsIndividuals who just have a business idea, but have not yet started a business, due to the uncertainty on how to structure a business around their idea. (ie I have an idea for an app, but how do I turn the idea into a profitable business)Individuals who have already started a business, but feel they need to understand more about business fundamentals to troubleshoot issues they are having in their business. (ie I have already started a business, but it's struggling and I'm not quite sure what the real issue is)Individuals who do not have a background in business, but are creating (or have created) a business based on an idea developed from an area of expertise. (ie I studied pottery making and I'm great at making pottery, but I'm not sure how to develop my passion into a business)Individuals who have a business background, but from an administration perspective and not from a founder perspective. (ie I studied business in college, but the focus was on giving me the skills to work in someone else's business, I'm not sure what steps to take to start my own.)Individuals who have been asked to consider partnering up with a business founder, but need a basic understanding of business fundamentals to decide if investing their time and money into the business would be a good idea. (ie someone I know has asked me to be a cofounder of their business, or give them money to start a business, how do I tell if the idea has potential?)Individuals at any educational level, the coursework is designed to go in depth and simplify complex topics. (ie I didn't go to college, I only went past high-school, will I be able to understand the course content?) Yes, the answer is yes and if there is anything you don't quite understand, send me a message and I'll work on making it clearer for you :)Course DurationDepending on how much time you are able to dedicate to the course, there are different tracks that you can follow to complete the course;The Paced Track: This would see you complete the bootcamp in 30 days.The Fast Track: This would see you complete the bootcamp in 14 days.The Express Track : This would see you complete the bootcamp in 6 days of full-time study.These tracks are simply a guide, you get to decide your pace, because you know how much time you're realistically able to dedicate and you also know how much time it takes for you to go through course material on average, especially when studying on your own. The goal isn't to complete the course as quickly as possible, but to get as much value from it as possible. Let's Get Started!Don't allow yourself to remain frustrated and stagnant as an entrepreneur, all it takes is one step at a time to solve the problems you are facing and start developing a business that actually thrives. Get clarity and troubleshoot your business today, so that it can start to thrive :)
