StartupPHTraining

To be clear, no. But this coaching program will show you how to. We'll also give you the tools you need, then help you stay driven as you do what needs to be done. Startups are very hard and there are too many factors to consider. Providing a guarantee would be a lie. Although being part of this program doesn't guarantee success or exempt you from the effort, passion, or time required to do so, we do guarantee that you will progress in your startup a lot quicker, with less pain with considerably less expenses (assuming you follow the advice given).

That's totally fine though initially we won't be focusing on that, and I highly recommend you put a hold on it until we speak! It's very difficult to be a solution looking for a problem, and the more you build it, the more you're making it more difficult to pivot in the future.

We will be focusing on getting to know the people that could potentially be using it FIRST, understand their problems, and then see if what you've built is the best solution for it.

If not, then the good news is you've saved yourself from spending more money and time building something people don't need.

That's great! That's really critical at the very early stages of a startup. The focus will move from finding your first customer - to sustaining and growing your customer base. We'll focus on making it repeatable. The fundamentals for starting are the same for growing (Understand people, find problem, test solution)

If you already have customers then you're now in position to progress much faster We'll understand how they feel about doing business with you and the areas that you can improve. By doing so, we'll keep them happy, keep and make sure they keep buying from us. Finally, we can find more people like them to grow our startup!

If you have a startup idea and are willing to invest time into it to make this succeed. If there is a problem so big that it affects you so much and are passionate about solving it. If you are committed to making this idea your full-time career soon as you to afford it, if you are working with a team and have committed to each other to make it succeed, then this is for you. Even if you have a full-time job now but are committed to eventually going full time on this idea, assuming it succeeds. If you said no to any of those, perhaps think about it some more.

Or book me a call and find out (see what I did there?) One thing you can expect from me is to tell you what you need to hear. If I don't think you need this program - or if we're not a good match, I'll let you know. Not because I don't like you, but because at the end of the day, the goal is to solve problems worth solving

TLDR - For best results, we recommend at least 3 hours for the coaching itself (which can happen once a month to one a quarter).

For coaching sessions (group and 1on1) - an hour to prepare, another for the actual coaching sessions, then another for processing notes and taking immediate action on what was discussed. Time to perform the prescribed activities (eg running interviews, creating and launching campaigns, prototyping, testing, pitching, etc) will vary greatly and should not be considered as "additional work". This should be considered the "CORE WORK" for the founder and/or the founding team.

Absolutely! We want to be the Phil Jackson to your Kobe Bryant and give you the plays that get you to win the championships. Even experienced founders need help when starting new startups.

In a nutshell, no. The beauty about 1on1 coaching is that we can arrange our schedule so that you and the coach are both available. While a consistent schedule makes things convenient. this isn't always possible so changes are inevitable What we need to watch out for is forgetting to schedule the sessions. You can expect to hear from us from time to time.

That might be a problem because business and startups are all about selling. Not just to your customers but also by selling your vision when recruiting your co-founders, your employees, and later on to investors and other customers.

The good news is that we don't sell to people that don't need our product or service. You won't need to do any convincing. If you do, then you're doing it wrong. People often associate selling with being that suave smooth talker that's trying to deceitfully convince us to buy something. That's now what you're going to learn.

What you're going to learn is how to empathize with people, really understand them and match their problems with a solution to their problems and price it reasonably. Selling is problem solving. And if you like problem solving but don't like the old-school definition of selling, then this is your course.

This is a learn-by-doing type of course so if you do the activities that this course makes you do, then you will 100% learn a lot of things. Not just how to do things, but also about the people you hope to serve.

You risk not learning anything if you simply watch the videos and don't complete the prescribed activities and attend the sessions. That being said, if at anytime you don't feel that you learned anything and or are unhappy about the progress you are or aren't making, let us know, and happy to give you your money back. All we ask is that you tell us what we could have done better.
