What You Will Learn
In this free class, you’ll learn:
-
The major decisions every first-time founder needs to make before launching
-
The proper order for working through your idea, customer, pricing, money, legal setup, marketing, and launch
-
Why many people freeze or start randomly, and how to avoid both
-
How to use the Business Startup Roadmap to see where your idea is strong and where it needs work
-
What to do next if you want help working through the full process
You’ll also get the Business Startup Roadmap after the class.
Use it to work through the key questions every first-time founder should answer before spending serious time or money on a business idea.
“The goal is not simply to teach you about business.
The goal is to help you understand the essential disciplines, use them to make better founder decisions, and build a concrete plan for your own business.”
The class walks through the Start Smart Framework:
Designed and taught by a real business professor
There is a difference between knowing a subject and knowing how to design a serious educational program.
This class is designed and taught by Justin Griffin, a business school professor, entrepreneur, business attorney, accountant, and adviser who has helped more than 1,600 businesses.
Justin serves as an Assistant Professor of Management and Marketing in the Reginald F. Lewis College of Business at Virginia State University, where he teaches business students inside an accredited university.
Justin also brings more than academic knowledge to the program.
He has spent more than a decade starting and operating his own businesses, practicing business law and accounting, working directly with first-time founders, and advising more than 1,600 businesses through the real decisions and challenges that come with entrepreneurship.
