Description

Starting your own business is scary. Really scary.

How do you know if your idea is any good? Or if your customers will ever show up?

How do you know... what you're doing AT ALL?

There's no place, degree, or university that can teach you how to become a successful Entrepreneur.

You just have to get out there and learn everything for yourself. One step at a time....

Right?

Wrong.

Entrepreneurship is not a mythical, illusive creature and it's not a secret that's hidden behind doors.

You CAN learn how to become a successful Entrepreneur and you CAN learn how to prepare yourself.

In this course, we're going to do just that.

You're going to learn everything you need to know about being an Entrepreneur, like:

  • The core concepts
  • How to think like an Entrepreneur
  • What you should care about and conversely ignore
  • How to go about gathering the resources you need to tackle your dream

And when you're completely ready to go toe to toe with any "veteran" business owner out there, you're going to learn something they wish they knew:

How to consistently come up with insightful, actionable business ideas

It's everything you need to get started.

You'll go from 0 to Entrepreneur in no time.

                  Hi, I'm Evan Kimbrell. Thanks for checking out my course. 

**My courses have been featured in Forbes, CNN, Entrepreneur Magazine, BusinessInsider, BuzzFeed, Mashable, TheNextWeb, The Daily Beast, & Techcrunch**

        Currently, I'm the Founder and Director of Sprintkick, a full-service, referral-only digital agency based out of San Francisco. Over the past four years I've overseen the development and launch of over 100 web and mobile apps. Clients range from two-man bootstrapping startups to multibillion dollar Fortune 100s like Wal-Mart, Dick's Sporting Goods, and GNC. 

Prior to Sprintkick I worked as a VC for a new firm called Juvo Capital, based out of L.A. I spearheaded the firm's expansion into Silicon Valley and into the Consumer Web tech category.

                  In the long long ago, I was a co-founder for an educational software startup called ScholarPRO that raised a ton of money and then spectacularly blew up (in the bad way). Before it exploded like the Death Star, I went through five tech incubators (yes, five): Tech Stars, Excelerate Labs, MassChallenge, Babson Venture Program, and Sparkseed. 

                  Hope you enjoy my courses!
