Here's why your students will love Start Your Own Business: Step-by-Step...

Many people talk about starting a business, but few make it past the dreaming stage.  

And even fewer get their business launched and earning enough to reach their financial goals.  

What is it that holds back these aspiring entrepreneursโ€™ success?  

Often, itโ€™s because...  

  • Their mindset is stuck on failure and self-doubt 
  • They worry that their business wonโ€™t earn enough 
  • They donโ€™t know whatโ€™s involved in getting their business set up 
  • Theyโ€™re not sure exactly what to sell that people will buy
  • They arenโ€™t clear on how theyโ€™ll get people to buy  

And sometimes itโ€™s just because they canโ€™t get themselves organized and focused on their goal long enough to reach it. You can help your audience build the business they deserve.  

With our course on how to Start Your Own Business: Step-by-Step, you'll walk your students through the critical steps for getting a new business off the ground. You'll show them how to pick the business model that makes sense for them, how to determine what to sell, the value of creating a โ€˜minimum viable product, the essential details that every startup has to pay attention to, the keys to a successful launch, and more.  

Even better, when you purchase a license to Start Your Own Business: Step-by-Step, youโ€™ll get the rights to edit the content any way you want, put your name and brand on, and repurpose it into whatever format you want.

Here's what you'll teach in Start Your Own Business: Step-by-Step:

Introduction 

You'll start out with an overview of the course and what your students will learn, so that everyone is excited to jump in and get going. This module will help motivate your students to focus on the real reason they're taking your course! 

Module 1 โ€“ Develop a Mindset for Success

In the first module, you'll explore the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs and help your students recognize that they have the power to change their mindset. Then theyโ€™ll identify their big โ€œwhyโ€ for their business, so that they always have a motivating reason to deal with the challenges of getting a new business off the ground. 

Module 2 โ€“ Define Your Driving Vision and Values

While knowing why you want to start a business is an important first step, so is having a vision of your life once that business is a reality.

In Module 2, youโ€™ll show your students how to identify the vision and values that will guide them on their business-building journey, so that they always stay true to themselves.  

Module 3 โ€“ Pick the Right Business for You

Most of your students will already have a vague idea of the business they want to start, but itโ€™s important to make sure it matches up with their strengths and talents.

In Module 3, youโ€™ll show them how to ensure this match is there, so theyโ€™ll have the best chances of success. Then youโ€™ll help them set revenue goals, so that they have a way to check their progress as their business gets going.  

Module 4 โ€“ Identify Your Target Customer and Your Niche

Thereโ€™s no point investing time in building a business if it has no chance of being profitable.

In Module 4, youโ€™ll walk your students through the steps for researching their market to see if it can be profitable, getting totally clear on their ideal customer, and determining if they need to niche down further to compete effectively. 

Module 5 โ€“ Decide What to Offer and How 

 Once your students understand their target customer, they can make decisions about what to offer thatโ€™s also in line with their big โ€œwhyโ€ and their values and strengths.

In Module 5, youโ€™ll explore different business models and how to choose the right one. Then youโ€™ll show your students how to define the unique value theyโ€™ll offer and how to design a minimum viable product to test with their market, so they can get feedback before investing too much in one direction.  

Module 6 โ€“Set Up the Essentials for Running your Business

Starting a viable, sustainable business involves a lot more than creating a product and putting it up for sale. There are all sorts of legal, administrative, and financial requirements.

In Module 6, youโ€™ll walk through the most common ones that your students have to set up, providing them with a checklist of items to address. They will then need to research any requirements that are specific to their country. 

Module 7 โ€“ Start Branding Your Business Now

 Even though your students are starting with a minimum viable product, itโ€™s important to think about their branding from the start.

In Module 7, youโ€™ll discuss the elements of an effective brand and how it ties in with their Unique Value Proposition. Then youโ€™ll walk them through how to start branding their first offer, so that it has a clear identity that people will remember. 

Module 8 โ€“ Pick the Right Price  

Pricing is always a touchy subject for any business owner since itโ€™s such a big decision that affects revenue.

In Module 8, youโ€™ll explore the concept of value vs. price and explain different pricing strategy options. Youโ€™ll then give your students the questions they need to ask themselves to pick their strategy and price their MVP. 

Module 9 โ€“ Set Up Your Marketing

 A new business doesnโ€™t need a grand marketing plan to get off the ground, but it pays to have a few strategies in place.

In Module 9, youโ€™ll show your students how they can get started with a few good, low cost marketing tactics that are proven effective. Youโ€™ll give them a simple 10-point plan to fill in and tell them how to decide which tactics to choose, so they can have something to guide them without being overwhelmed. 

Module 10 โ€“ Your Launch Starts Here

Business launches are exciting, but stressful.

In Module 10, youโ€™ll explain to your students the importance of carefully planning their launch and how it involves 3 phases - pre-launch, launch, and post-launch. Youโ€™ll give them ideas and tips for success in each phase and then have them put together their own launch plan for their first offer.

Module 11 โ€“ Track Your Progress

 Successful businesses monitor a few key metrics to make sure theyโ€™re on track to achieve their goals.

In Module 11, youโ€™ll explain the 7 key metrics that your students should be looking at in their business, so they can use that data to improve and grow in the future. 

Module 12 โ€“ Moving Forward

In this last module, youโ€™ll give your students sound advice on how to make sure they maintain a balance in their life as they immerse themselves in their business. Youโ€™ll discuss ways to plan their time, be more productive, and set ongoing goals. Theyโ€™ll finish up by creating their Action Plan, so they know exactly what they need to do next to make their business dream a permanent reality.
