Based on John Chisholm's book, this fast-paced, 90-minute workshop offers a ten-step process for discovering, testing, selecting, launching, and scaling the right business for you.
Where to start? What hasn't already been done? How to build confidence to take the plunge? Need a co-founder? How to choose one? How/when to raise money? How to scale your business? Is starting a for-profit business as ethical as starting a non-profit? The workshop will answer these questions and more.
Learn how to:
- Discover dozens of unsatisfied customer needs in areas you are passionate about
- Recognize advantages for satisfying those needs
- Assess and strengthen the fit between you and customer needs; choose the best fit
- Overcome doubts and insecurities holding you back.
This workshop will help you to do what you love, create security for yourself, and make the world a better place.
