Business 101:

Mastering the

Fundamentals of Business

Business 101 provides you with the knowledge, skills and support needed to navigate the world of business, to take away

the confusion and intimidation, leaving you confident to make

the right, well informed decisions, leading to long term success.

It sounds strange to say it but starting your business is often the easy part.

Our businesses generally stem from our passions, so enthusiasm, drive

and commitment will never be in short supply, meaning you have the

impetus you need to get started.

You know that mastering the fundamentals of business is crucial, that they

provide the essential foundation upon which a successful business

can be built and sustained.

But how do you know where to start?

It can be confusing and intimidating, which eats away at your creativity

and enthusiasm as every time you have a great idea, you just don’t know how

to build on it and maximise your potential to grow your business.

This is why the list of what comes next is so often the stumbling block:

  • How do you set business goals?

  • How do you find your ideal clients?

  • How do you build a strong brand?

  • How do you create a marketing strategy?

How do you acquire the knowledge to

answer the other thousands of questions that nobody ever told you you’d need

to know to start running a business?

And there doesn’t seem to be a guidebook anywhere….

We have been there, and we needed that guidebook and that is

what inspired us to create Business 101, your comprehensive guide, handbook, roadmap and instruction manual, absolutely stuffed

with practical knowledge and actionable insights.

Whether you:

  • Have your big idea and are still in the planning stages. 

  • Are new to running your own business and need a full toolkit to help you assemble and maintain it. 

  • Have a traditional business that you would like to bring online.

With clear and implementable content, Business 101 will give you clarity on:

  • How to effectively manage your time and increase productivity.

  • How to leverage social media to grow your online presence.

  • How to master sales techniques and optimise your sales funnels.

Leading up to Module 8 when we will teach you how to strategically plan for financial milestones, including your first £100,000.

Right now that £100,000 milestone may seem like a pipe dream, but we have been where you are now.

We know the steps to take to get you there.
