A great course, thanks Alison. I already had a business plan, but it is now much better developed thanks to this course, especially in terms of sales (and the wider marketing aspects too). I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who needs some help and guidance when starting out with their business.
I really enjoyed taking the guide to starting a business course by The Entrepreneur Godmother, Alison! She made the course interesting and shared a lot of information on the topic including useful websites/apps to use. I would do it again if I was asked again. I hope to meet Alison one day, she is very inspiring and motivating!
This is an excellent course based on practical and personal experiences that Alison Edgar draws upon. The videos, work books and useful information make it a great way to ensure that knowledge in all of these areas is gained.
A good course in a well laid out format. This covers the basics for considering starting a business. The combination of videos, text and workbooks in addition to references to other web pages to check out for advice worked well.
This course is well paced and asks the questions that you need to be able to answer if you seriously thinking about starting a business. I liked that there were a number of levels of detail that you could explore in each section, depending on your style of learning.
I loved Alison's course 'The Guide to Starting a Business'. From the off Alison is warm, personable and highly engaging. She delivers essential business knowledge in a genuine, no nonsense approach in bite sized digestible chunks. I would encourage any startup to check out this course as I'm left feeling inspired, motivated, informed and most important of all READY. Bye bye imposter syndrome and fear. Hello entrepreneurship and here is to reframing fear as feeling excited and ready!
Well thought through. Clear, concise and to the point. Great support documentation and ask some very relevant questions.
When we dream of starting a business it’s usually because we want the freedom of working for ourselves and the adventure of following our dreams and building something around our passions and talents.
But starting a business is like having a baby - it doesn’t come with an instruction manual.
There’s so much to do it can seem overwhelming.
The Entrepreneur’s Godmother is ready to wave her wand and make it all a little bit easier.
But successful businesses don’t happen overnight.
They take hard work, determination and drive. I can’t change that for you, but I can give you a roadmap that helps you focus on the right things at the right time. You’ll benefit from my experience and advice as well as a lot of encouragement and support along the way.
“I’ve started a business, but haven’t fully committed to it” - you might still be working full or part time in a regular job, or maybe you’re a mum or dad trying to build something while you raise a family.
If you've ever said anything like that - then this course is for you.
It also covers practical things around funding, legal issues and accountants.
Most importantly - if you complete the course and all of the activities - you will have everything you need to start a successful business.
We believe strongly in what we do and if for any reason you are unhappy with the course we will refund your money as long as you notify us within 14 days of purchase.
