Thinking of launching a new business?

Do you have a business idea but don't know where to start? Need a Business startup checklist?

Entrepreneurship can be one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences you can do. This course is over 2 hours of information on how to start a new business.

Most business failures are caused, not by poor execution as commonly believed, but by poor strategy implemented from the beginning.

Conventional wisdom of writing a business plan as the first step to starting a business is a mistake leading to a higher risk of business failure later on. In its place, this course begins by introducing theConcept Plan.

Where business plans are based on a lot of guesswork and pulling unsubstantiated numbers out of thin air, the Concept Plans serve as a concrete question and answer methodology to produce the answers you need.

Concept Plans:

1)  Quickly answer the question of what you think you are going to do.

2)  Encourage you to address the crucial unknowns.

3)  Question your assumptions and ask how you’re going to test them.

4)  Identify the what-if or only-if-this scenarios that are the foundation of the plan.

The Concept Plan is followed by learning how to demonstrate that a business is viable because untilproof of conceptis shown, your business is just an experimental start-up.

Next, you'll learn how to design and conduct business experiments because until you validate the assumptions in the concept

plan and turn all those unknown factors into known ones, your idea isn’t workable.

This program takes the rigor and process of the scientific method and shows how to apply it to starting a new business – a process and system for you to discover and determine what your new business really is.
