The Start Up Course



Welcome back to Write Away, the blog for small business owners, freelancers and anybody who is thinking of starting a business and jumping into self-employment.
Today I’m giving you a heads up on a free e:mail course, created by Enterprise Nation, a fantastic small business support organisation, whom I’ve blogged about before.

The idea is that, over the course of seven days, you get daily inspiration and direction to assist and support you on your journey into starting up a business.

Day 1 covers your idea and the all-important business plan

Day 2 will delve into the administration associated with setting up a company

Day 3 will tackle how to raise money and managing the money you may have available

Day 4 focuses on building a web presence for your new business

Day 5 looks at marketing your business and generating sales

Day 6 discusses how to become an expert in your field and pitching to the press

Day 7 looks at how to scale up your business


Every new business will encounter each of the above areas during their start up experience, and Enterprise Nation founder, Emma Jones, will share her expertise on these subjects, along with some of the Enterprise Nation community of small businesses.

Receiving inspiration, on a daily basis, over the course of a week could be just what you need to help you transform your dream of starting a small business of your own, into a reality.

As an aside, Enterprise Nation has a bundle of other resources for the small business owner and lots of benefits should you choose to become a member of their community.
They have an excellent blog, for which I have written before, and lots of real-life stories from people who have launched their own businesses, for you to draw on and gain inspiration from, for your own journey.

I hope you find this a useful resource for your own small business journey, maybe your success story will be featured one day!

Until next time……

Mike Southon is both an entrepreneur and business mentor and also writes regularly for the Mail on Sunday  and the Financial Times about small businesses and entrepreneurship.

If you so desire (and can afford to!) you can book Mike for a personal appearance from here, but there are a number of other free resources that may be of more interest.
