Have you long harboured dreams of becoming the next Julie Meyer (founder of First Tuesday) or Simon Woodroffe (owner of Yo! Sushi)? · Or maybe redundancy is looming, or you just can’t face another year in that dead-end or stress laden job? · Or perhaps you have children, and want to create a lifestyle that allows you to work from home and spend more time with your family?
Whatever your reasons you may well be one of the huge number of people who fantasise about starting their own business, being their own boss and earning money for themselves, not putting it into the pocket of some employer or large organisation.
Statistics on the amount of small businesses that fail are bandied about by the business and financial press, but there is much less focus on what makes small businesses succeed, and this is why Business Advisor Julia McDaid has put together the 101 day Start Up 101 ecourse to help businesses identify the processes and methods that will help them thrive.
The ecourse combines vital subjects like where to go for funding and legal and financial issues together with “softer” matters which are less talked about – motivation, goal setting and the process of working over time to meet those goals.
The ecourse consists of 101 daily emails which are delivered 5 days on, 2 days off. These are bite-sized briefs on topics, together with an action point of the day which either involves thinking about a specific issue, or taking a small but helpful step. Together the steps build up an incredible momentum which both breaks down tasks and make them happen. The programme is also accompanied by a free ebook “52 Reasons why some people are much, much more successful in business than others”.
Creator Julia McDaid’s aim is to get businesses to focus on how to do it right from the very beginning, setting themselves up for future success. The email format of the eprogramme, already tried and tested by over fifty small business owners (or people thinking about starting a small business), means that it fits around your lifestyle. You can read and act on each day as it arrives, or do it in your own time, without having to worry about sifting through large volumes of dry business books.
The 101 day eprogramme costs £147 which is a fraction of what you would pay a business advisor to help you with each of the 12 issues that the course covers. There is also the possibility of further support, should you need it, via email, telephone coaching and occasional workshops.
