Green Belt: Preparing for Business

Green Belt learners will be given practical advice, guidance and support on starting a business from an experienced business operator who has started from nothing (sometimes called a bootstrap business), and gone to acquire businesses from other people.

Head instructor Carl Mannion will disclose many of the challenges and opportunities you will not read in a traditional text book. This is not a Hollywood highlight reel of success stories. This programme is designed to teach the risks, losses, pain points and the positives of business ownership.

The warts-and-all challenges and triumphs of running a business are disclosed. This will include:

• Advantages and disadvantages of different business thinking
• The Cashflow Quadrant explained in detail
• Application of lessons learned in real life
• Getting you started in business

Green Belt: Starting a Business

• How to calculate the cost of services (Gross and net costs)

Starting a Business: Identifying a Product or Service

Every business on earth is in the problem solving business. Regardless of the sector you are involved with, your job is to solve a problem for your customer.

Our goal in the Green Belt is to discover what skills you have that will help you to solve problems for your customers.

Starting a Business: Market Research

A great idea for a business is one thing, but understanding who is going to want your product or service is critical to your success. Questions to consider:

• Who is your customer?
• How will you communicate with them?
• What is the scope, specification and expectation of the service?
• How will your product or service be delivered?
• What are the critical elements the customer needs you to solve?

These are just some of the many questions we will help you to answer.
