Are You Ready to Master the Skills You Need to Become an Entrepreneur

No matter who you are, what you do or what stage of life you are in, we all think about the future and what matters to us most.

Maybe you feel a desire to do something more meaningful that better aligns with your values, strengths and lifestyle. Something you truly enjoy and empowers you to take more control of your life.

As you are here, you probably have some business goals, but they always seem out of reach.

Perhaps you lack the necessary support or you’re held back by fear, indecision and confusion. When taking steps to change, we often feel a mix of excited anticipation and fear of the unknown.

Whether you’re thinking about becoming an entrepreneur or just curious about the topic, this is the best place to start.

Find out if you fit the entrepreneur profile

Do you like the idea of becoming an entrepreneur and be your own boss? Maybe you have been dreaming of starting a small business, an online business, or a startup?

Or perhaps you want to start a side hustle first, earn some extra money with the idea of later turning it into a profitable, sustainable business?

There are many reasons why people decide to make the transition to entrepreneurship and start their dream business.

Maybe your job has no career progression or your ideas are not valued. Perhaps you are burned out from your job and are looking for better options, but don’t have a clear idea what to do next.

Maybe your job opportunities are limited and you want more out of life than being stuck in the low-paying gig economy where you have no security, and you cannot control your destiny.

Or you want to use your passions, knowledge, skills and talents to be part of something bigger than yourself, or to make the world a better and safer place, if you only knew where to start.

Perhaps you find it difficult to come up with good business ideas or how to find viable ideas. Or you have too many ideas for business ventures and don’t know which one to choose and focus on.

Find out how to turn your ideas into a viable business opportunity

Entrepreneurship transforms and challenges you, and it’s never too early, or too late to start – there’s always a new chapter in your life waiting for you to write.

Don’t think “you can’t” and instead say “I can”. Join thousands of people just like you and bring your dreams and business ideas to life.

And while some people are born entrepreneurs, most of us first need to learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship – to discover your Inner Entrepreneur.

You do not need a university degree to learn how to become an entrepreneur.

It was created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. It is practical, comprehensive and easy-to-implement, and gives you a step-by-step action-based roadmap for achieving your aspirations.

We show you how to discover if there is a need and a market for what you intend to create, assess the feasibility, risks and rewards of the business idea, and help you turn your idea into a viable Business Concept.

Becoming an entrepreneur is extremely exciting. But just like normal life, it comes with risk and one of the core aspects of the entrepreneurial process is risk management.

What Our Students Say

Testimonial from Ben Müller

The workbook for the Business Concept process was broken down into manageable exercises which stopped me from wasting time. I still have a lot more research to do, but I’m miles ahead of where I’ve been in the past. I highly recommend this course because it really can change your life!

Ben Müller

Laura Scheffner Alonso
Mumpreneur

As an entrepreneur, it’s not always easy to get started.
If you have someone who can give you some clarity, you know what your next step is.
That will cut 15 years out of your journey. So I am very happy to have met Hans.

To hear what she has to say, view Laura’s video below:

I found this course to be very insightful, and I now have a much better idea on whether or not entrepreneurship is the right fit for me. The 9 stages of entrepreneurship helped me understand the roles of different types of entrepreneurs. It also helped me discover which of my skills would be best used in an entrepreneurial venture. The bootstrapping module was particularly helpful as it gave some quick tips about how to start my own business with little resources. All in all, I found this course to be really helpful and very insightful.

Testimonial from Chloé Durand

I’ve never been more excited to take on new challenges than after doing the Courage module in this course! Before doing the course I was suffocated by fear. But since implementing what I have learned, my friends and family are taking notice. I feel like anything is possible and know nothing can stop me now!

BUDDING ENTREPRENEUR

Testimonial from David Miller

For years I’ve wanted to quit my corporate job but couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with myself. I had all these ideas running around in my head and at other times I had none. Totally frustrating. But now that’s all changed. Using the Business Concept module workbook, I’ve been able to narrow down on a couple of ideas and ended up running with one which is already showing great promise.
I’ve now quit my corporate job and I couldn’t be happier!

David Miller

(EX-)BUSINESS MANAGER

WOW! The best way to understand the importance of entrepreneurial mindset is by doing this course. It isn’t only applicable to becoming an entrepreneur, but to anyone and everyone, no matter what your current situation is. Before I had a fixed mindset and I found out how to change this into a growth mindset using the targeted strategies and perseverance I learnt in the course. The main sources of persistence and motivation are there too, and in life you’re definitely going to need that!

Emily Taylor

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETER

Testimonial from Emily Taylor

The information has been extremely helpful learning about myself and who I am as an aspiring entrepreneur. For instance, I’ve always known that I am an analytical person, but I’ve learned that I can also be quite impulsive depending on what type of business situation I am faced with – I never knew that.

Testimonial from Helmi Heikkinen

DATA ANALYST

Testimonial from Mia Ramírez

I love this course! I’ve learned so much in the past few weeks. Discovery, creation, innovating… I’ve already begun to apply these skills to my company and am getting very good results – very exciting! The course has really helped me understand the creative process and why it’s important for success as an entrepreneur. I felt challenged and excited reading about perception and strategy and how they fit into innovation. Learning about creativity has been a revelation – as long as we connect with what matters to us most, we’ll never lose track of our ideas!

Mia Ramírez

Learning about personality traits really helps to understand why others think and act around me. This has helped me in both my personal relationships as well as business interactions. As a result of doing the course I’ve improved my communication skills and has helped me realize what areas I need to need to work on to become an even more successful entrepreneur.

Robert Garcia

FOUNDER

Testimonial from Robert Garcia

What we’ve gone over in this course has been completely life-changing for me – it has made such an impact on the way I approach situations at my business and in my life.

These skills have really improved my capacity to focus as well, which not only helped me with attention span but also managing my time more effectively by understanding how to prioritize tasks that are important to me.

This alone has resulted in a massive increase in revenue. But the best part is that I’ve started to build good habits as well as replace the bad ones. If you’re feeling stuck, this is a great place to start.

Change your mindset and you can achieve anything!
