Our popular series for early stage entrepreneurs is back!  The Fresh Start Thursday Series is designed to deliver contemporary insight, immediately useful actions and peer engagement to accelerate the progress of your early stage venture.  Four sessions explore the core requirements for entrepreneurial sustainability: financial goal-setting & management; customer/client development; social & traditional marketing; and strategic relationships.  Each hands-on workshop is from 9am - 12 pm at the BDA-PivotGuild Studio in Boulder - limited class size to promote peer discussion and PRACTICE!   Special pricing for the series: $199 total for all four workshops.  Individual classes are regularly priced at $79-89.

Is your business designed to be profitable? Are you hitting sales goals? Together, we will test your revenue model and find the best ways to strengthen and diversify it. You will also gain clarity on how your products / services fit into the competitive market place so you can price your product more confidently for profitability.   Through hands-on worksheets you will learn how to set up a simple financial management process to help you monitor your most important revenue sources, as well as control expenses. By the end of class, your will understand key metrics and how to manage the financial dynamics of your business.  These are the first steps in building a sustainable venture. 

Finding your “tribe” makes marketing a lot easier. When you really know your most likely buyers and engage them in two-way communication - rather than push messages at them - you set yourself apart from the competition. In this workshop you will learn how to empower your customer / client acquisition efforts.  Who is already looking for what you are selling? Who is most interested in your offer and inclined to buy? When your customers are enthused about you and your firm, they will gladly become referral sources for more clients who fit your desired profile. We will show you HOW! 

Often entrepreneurs are comfortable in their zone of expertise but filled with dread by engaging in "sales."   Your customers and clients don’t want to be sold – they want to BUY!  And when you can attract in-bound marketing leads, you don’t have to work as hard to push your messages out.  Learn how to tell your story in a persuasive and compelling manner, distribute it via the “right” channels and engage your customers on their needs and preferences - so that prospects self-select to choose you! Meaningful connection with your customers is a core skill for your business success.  

One secret of the most successful entrepreneurs is not one of them achieved their goals solo. No matter how the lives of Steve Jobs or a Mary Kay are publicized as hero's journeys, the truth is they were well supported. You also need a range of supporters, influencers and collaborators if you are going to grow your business. No one goes it alone successfully! The key to strategic relationships - your network of champions - is being clear about what you expect from - and contribute to - those relationships. We'll prepare you to find and engage the champions you need.
