About This Course

A step by step guide to starting and running your own business with videos, tools, templates and articles

If you ever dreamed of starting your own business but don't know where to start, or have fears and barriers that are stopping you, then this course is a must-watch for you.  Let's face it, most businesses fail in the first year and it's clear that is because having a good business idea is not enough to be successful.

So what else do you need and how on earth are you going to be confident enough to leave your current job and go it alone?  This course will take you through a step by step guide from having a business idea to researching your idea and potential market place.  We will work with you to understand where your product fits in the market and look at who your target customer is and best practice ideas for reaching them via your sales and marketing activities.  Finally, we will discuss how to keep and grow your customers.  

By the end of the course, you will have the confidence to take the first steps and have a range of tools and templates to assist you in your journey.  This isn't a 'get rich quick' video but a pragmatic, step by step guide providing you with video coaching sessions, tools, templates and articles to help you research, test and launch your business.

Ian Laurie from Snow Digital Media commented: "Rob has a no-nonsense practical approach that cuts through the hype of starting your own business and gives you the tools and templates to move forward with confidence and focus."

This is a really good course, the instructor is very knowledgeable.

The only place I felt the course fell short was the depth of some of the topics. A few of the videos are too "surface level". For example, important topics like the customer personas section needed more explanation as to how they work. See the video from the Futur titled: Building a brand episode 2, defining the customer. I was expecting depth similar to the depth in these videos and other videos on the Futur.

EXCELLENT! Robert did a great job of fitting so much content in such a short amount of time. great for busy people who want to start working on a business idea before they stop working at their other job. I'm looking forward to putting it all into practice and seeing great results.
Thank you Robert!

Good and Sound business advise. I wish there was more content. It was basically one interview spliced into several very short sections.

The content of each video is brief, but it provides great content. What I enjoy about this course so far is the approach of the content given. It's not flash or over-the-top.

Very informative with a good guide on how to work your way through starting your business. Before watching this I didn't have a clue on any sort of process to follow to get my business up and running. I will probably look into these concepts in more depth as they are somewhat basically outlined in this course.

This is a fascinating course with a wealth of good, practical information. As someone who recently started a business I have found the videos extremely useful, and will be referring back to them in the future.
