Phenomenal walkthrough of the small business journey. This was my first business-themed course with TGC, and I had no idea what to expect.

Each step builds on the previous, so that when you're at stages like choosing your business model, creating or packaging your offers, and developing your marketing and sales strategy, you already have a foundation to answer many of the questions involved in making those decisions. The instructor's vast experience in working with small business owners is felt throughout. For example, instead of creating an "ideal client profile" (often a static and limiting concept), she provides a list of questions to ask to create a dynamic range of your potential customer base. 6 types of business models are covered to appeal to everything from online coaching to wholesale.
