The role of planning is crucial for any successful business. The second “Elements of Entrepreneurship” course, Creating Your Business Blueprint, educates participants on how to create an effective business design, including key elements and best practices to consider for long-term success.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-Explain a problem in the marketplace that your business solves.
-Begin to articulate the business’s target market, competitors, and unique selling proposition.
-Recognize key financial documents needed during business startup.
-Identify operational considerations for starting the business.
-Determine when and why businesses need a business plan or pitch deck.

Investing time to comprehensively map out your business blueprint before you launch will save you valuable resources in the long run. It will also raise important questions for you to consider as you move forward in creating a sustainable business.
