Help determine the viability/growth of a new business ( or new market) with the least amount of dollars risk.

These are “no BS” courses taught by Rod Hosilyk & Matt Westfield – “real world” guys who have been there and done it all – and are still doing it! They explain it in detail. And although they teach these topics in University Executive MBA programs, students will learn from real world experiences – what worked and what didn’t…and why, in easily understood terms, not highly theoretical ideas that are difficult to understand and implement. The focus is on starting and building a business for success focusing on marketing, customer acceptance, product viability, validating the marketplace, etc. rather than on determining legal structures such as partnerships, LLC, corporations, etc. Attendees leave with a wealth of practical information they can begin using immediately.
