What People are Saying about this Course:

I really appreciate the time you took for the seminar this week. I learned a lot—and even if I don't end up starting my own business it will certainly help me relate better with clients of my current company, most of whom are serial entrepreneurs.

Jennifer B.

The '10-slides' is really exciting. It's making me rethink my ideas and work them into products. Yes!

DAY ONE: HOW TO GET AN IDEA

Some people have tons of ideas. Some people have not even thought of their first idea. The key to generating ideas is setting parameters for ideas, because it’s much easier to think of something out of the blue when you have clear guidelines. You will learn Penelope Trunk’s process for generating hundreds of ideas each year. You might even get an idea that you can run with.

DAY TWO: HOW TO GET MONEY

The best tactic might be to get a business idea that does not require you to raise money. Penelope will show you how to do that. But she’ll also show you a simple checklist for coming up with a business that will get funded. Nothing is certain in the world of entrepreneurship, but this checklist is a pretty safe bet: do everything on the checklist and you’ll get funding.

DAY THREE: HOW TO GET A TEAM

You already know the research that says most entrepreneurs fail. But do you know the research on what makes entrepreneurs succeed? According to the Darden School of Business, success depends on surrounding yourself with the right people. In this session, learn how to identify the right people to work with and how to convince them to work with you.

DAY FOUR: HOW TO GET GUTS

This session will show you how to make the final leap. But before that, Penelope will help you decide if entrepreneurship is right for you. It’s a big trend right now, but to be honest, it’s not right for a lot of people. It’s just that people who are accustomed to being successful at what they do assume that they should start a company. Learn how to figure out what’s right for you.

DAY FIVE: BONUS

Penelope answers the most common questions on entrepreneurship.
