This is a big section! First I cover the illusion of employment. Then we cover the "why" do you want to be an entrepreneur. The "why" is huge...super important! Then I show you how to transfer that into a strong intention and set some goals!
Now we are getting into the meat of this course. I'll cover why passion is so important when planning a business to start. Then I'll guide you through one of the most important tests of you entrepreneurial career!
As a continuation of the Passion and Entrepreneur Idea Test, now we are going to analyze your answers to the test to come up with some common themes. We are going to bring your business ideas into focus!

If you’ve gone through this course so far and are still really stuck on what to do, I put together this section to give you some actual business ideas. These are not a substitution for the Passion & Entrepreneur idea Test, but can be used to help get you un-stuck. These will get you thinking.

5 STAR REVIEW: "This course should be the first step for every entrepreneur. Tom's a funny and experienced instructor who doesn't disappoint. I think this course is the perfect first step for anybody who wants to get started as an entrepreneur. Because after all, there is no shortage of opportunities but what really makes the difference is finding something that you're passionate about. And that's what this course is all about!" Manuel Kraus
Are you stuck? Do any of these questions describe you?
I want to start a business, but I have no idea what to start or what to do first.
I've wanted to start a business for years now but I have doubts that I can make it work.
I want to do something different than my current job or business to make a full-time or part-time living.
I've started a bunch of different ventures along the way that sounded great at first but I ended up hating them or never made the money that was promised.
If so, this course will help!!
5 STAR REVIEW: "Stop thinking and take action! I've been an entrepreneur for over 30 years having owned several businesses. I took Tom's course as I wanted to see if it would help some of the people I run into that want to start a business but are not sure of what they want to do. I highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to start a business but just can't pinpoint exactly what they are both good and passionate about." Wendy Mayhew
