How The School For Startups Program Works

Our program is unique in that we personally walk you through the steps to build your company. We don’t just send you a bunch of videos and worksheets and collect your hard-earned cash. We actually walk you through step by step and guide you at every turn. Are you ready to build your very own company?

The School For Startups Program

The School For Startups program is designed to walk you through the process of starting and growing your business. Whether you are struggling to grow your business, or have not even come up with an idea yet, we can guide you through the process. Our program is unique in that we meet you where you are, we don’t provide some canned course that claims to be a one size fits all approach to entrepreneurship. Instead, we get to know you and meet you where you are in your journey to create a tailored program to help you build or scale your business. Below you can learn more about what we cover in our curriculum.

Being A Business Owner

Anyone can be an entrepreneur! Yes, absolutely anyone. You just have to understand the fundamental elements of what owning a business means. We walk you through the process of building the character you will need to be successful and dispel any myths you think are true about entrepreneurship.

All About Creativity

As you may have already learned, we believe that being creative is not required to be an entrepreneur. We help you break down the creative barriers and systematically guide you through a proven process to find the perfect business idea or improve upon an existing one.

First Steps

If you are starting from scratch we walk you through step by step what you need to do in order to be a legal business, from legal documents to setting up bank accounts and protecting your personal assets. If you are already up and running we perform a checklist to ensure you have a strong foundation to grow your business.

Money Money Money

From setting up the correct capital structure and accepting payments, to loans and venture money, we walk you through everything related to business finances so that you build a sustainable company. Building a strong financial foundation is critical in your success as a business owner.

Selling Products

If you decide that your company is going to be one that sells products we provide you with everything you will need to know from finding suppliers and dropshipping to finding the best products and inventory management. E-commerce is growing every day and we help you get set up for success.

Build A Service-Based Company

If you have skills to bring to the market, and you are really good at what you do, but just can’t figure out how to brand your services, market them, or how to sell, we have you covered. Building a service-based business is a great way to get paid really well for what you are good at and we can help you make that happen.

Marketing & Advertising

When it comes to getting your company out there and standing out amongst your competition, there is a lot that you can do on your own before hiring expensive experts. From setting up the basics of bootstrapped marketing to managing your own ad campaigns we cover it all.

Bootstrapping The Essentials

There are so many free or super cheap tools, apps, software options out there that it is simultaneously awesome and overwhelming. We help you build the perfect software stack that helps you streamline as much of your business as possible so you can focus on doing what you do best.

How To Sell

For many entrepreneurs, selling is one of the hardest parts of building a business. We help guide you through the sales strategies and tactics that help take your prospect from cold, to warm, to hot. We discuss all of the sales channels available and how to maximize your ROI of each one.

Website & Online Presence

Your company website and online presence can be your greatest asset or your worst nightmare. We walk you through the process of building a strong online presence so that when prospects go searching for what it is they need, you are not only there, but you are able to build trust without having to even speak to them.

Business Financials

At this point, we have already covered building a strong financial foundation for your company, but as you will soon discover, the more money you make the more problems you will have. We take the foundational elements of business finance to another level to keep you profitable and sustainable.

When To Hire

When your company starts growing and it is time to bring on help there are a lot of decisions that need to be made, and what you choose to do can be critical in managing the success of your business. We walk you through hiring, firing, and everything in between.

Business Plans

Although writing a business plan is far from critical to build a successful company, there are many good reasons why writing one is a good idea. We walk you through the process of writing one that actually helps you and doesn’t just turn into a document that collects dust for years to come.

All About Franchises

Starting a franchise is a great way to build a successful company, mainly due to the fact that you have your playbook prewritten, but when it comes to selecting the right franchise, buying one, and running one there is a lot that you need to know in order to ensure success for your business.

Buying A Business

Building your own company from scratch is a lot of work! Buying someone else’s business can be a great idea depending on what you want out of your business. We explore the options from how to find the right broker to financing and through to negotiating the deal.

Entrepreneurial Success Factors

Being a successful entrepreneur is not just about making the numbers work. You have to put more into building your business than just about anything else you will dedicate yourself to. We coach you through building the skills necessary to not only start a business but how to become who you need to be.
