Decode the entrepreneur's DNA

You want to start a business, but you’re not sure where to begin? Or perhaps you have a business idea to begin with, but you’re not sure how to take it to the next level? Or you’re not sure you have the qualities for becoming an entrepreneur?

Let’s brainstorm together to get you moving!

If you want to be an innovative entrepreneur, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a business idea yet: the first thing you’ll need is a high level of motivation and a few personal skills. I would like to walk you through this process of becoming an entrepreneur by giving you some advice and methods, a few hints, and also inspiring stories of other entrepreneurs. By the end of the course, you will know how to recognize business opportunities and analyze their potential.

Once you are done, I will show you in two other courses how to build your venture project and then launch it.

You will have to work on yourself and learn how to find your way in the jungle of innovation !
