YOUR STARTING POINT
Your Situation
What if you could take your expertise and business ideas and shape them into your first successful business?
What if you could use the state of the art, but readily available strategies and affordable solutions to create a fast growing and profitable business?
And what if you could do this next to what you already do for living, or perhaps to replace for your current occupation?
You’ve got innovative business ideas, a great vision, and a long experience as an intrapreneur, or perhaps as a traditional entrepreneur. You’ve got knowledge, network, and know-how. And now you want to transform them into a successful online business serving your future customers and your stakeholders while brining you, prosperity and profits.
If you’re like most experienced and successful professionals and entrepreneurs, at a certain point doubting what path to take next in shaping the next phase of your career or your business, I have a good news for you!
You are not alone!
Your Equation
But what would you do then with your current job or your current business? Another good news is that you do not necessarily need to choose one between what you do now and your ideas for starting an online business, if you choose your domain properly. Having the intention of shaping a business while you already have a full-time or part-time work, or a traditional business, is neither new, nor impossible. According to different experts, you [even] should have at least two careers! Such a career, among other things, makes you able to subsidize your skill development, make friends in different circles and discover real innovations. ‘Portfolio Careers’ are the realities of today and more so of tomorrow.
In addition, according to neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, to be truly happy, you will always need something more. For me, that is why humanity has been growing to this sophisticated physical, virtual and societal complex system as we see today. That is why, exactly you successful professional who is working as an intrapreneurs in the corporate world or you successful entrepreneur who has created their business to its current level, experience dissatisfaction and are the ones wanting more! More for themselves, their families, their employees, their customers, their society and for the world. It is this desire for more which did result in all the inventions and enterprises we use and rely on today.
You may have multiple business ideas in your mind. Perhaps, you prefer one of them over the others. Maybe you doubt and change your mind. Possibly, you study about entrepreneurship and the successful entrepreneurs. You may seek new skills or refresh the old ones and attend multiple conferences and events. You may draft your business plan. But you perhaps doubt if you will ever succeed, or if you can think of a new domain next to what you already do, or perhaps you simply do not act, asking yourself: What’s the best approach to put me in the right path in the transformation journey I desire to embark on and what are the first and the subsequent right steps for me to take to reach my vision?
That is why I'm here.

There are individuals and companies who offer training courses, seminars, webinars, consulting, software and more trying to help entrepreneurs with methodologies, business models, strategies, tools and more.
