Here's what you can expect

Anyone looking to start a business often wishes for a clear roadmap or a step-by-step checklist. The truth is: When starting a business, there’s rarely a linear path. Many things happen at the same time and run in parallel—and that’s exactly what can feel pretty overwhelming at first.

In this workshop, we’ll shed light on the apparent chaos. We’ll give you an overview of what really comes into play when starting a business and help you overcome the fear of “Where do I even start?”

Instead of overwhelming you with dry theory, we’ll take a holistic approach and start where it all really begins: with you, your strengths, and your personal values. Because once your inner compass is clear, the next steps become much easier to figure out.

Together, we’ll gain a practical overview of the most important building blocks. So that you can continue working at your own pace right after the workshop, you’ll take home all the methods and tools presented as practical templates.

This workshop will be recorded and will be available for 3 days afterward.
