Description
No matter where you are in your bootstrap startup journey, we have a range of Startup High Intensity Training (S.H.I.T) to help you. Choose the SHIT you need from the list below, but we see all 7 courses as critical for the bootstrap startup process if you are starting from scratch.
You can buy individual workshops, and select the number of workshops you want to pay for to create your own program. We’ll email you so you can tell us which courses you want access to on our membership site if you want to complete them online, and tell you when we have face-to-face workshops scheduled if you would like to attend them.
We have also put together workshop packages for people who are at different stages of their business startup journey. This includes existing business owners who may just want a health check before investing in scaling up and growing their current business or creating extra revenue streams.
1. BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, GREAT ALREADY (BIGA)
Our BIGA-SHIT course is about skills recognition, and work out if you have the skills you need to do what you love, and earn an income out of it in a competitive marketplace. If you don’t have it now, that’s ok. our HOT-SHIT course will help you fill in the gaps.
This course is available for free as an introductory offer for anyone that joins our member’s site HERE.
2. HELP OVERCOMING TROUBLE (HOT)
No Small Business can go it alone, even if you are a Solopreneur. What would your rather double, $10 or $50? Following on from our BIGA-SHIT course, this HOT-SHIT course teaches you how to increase your earning capacity by doing what you are great at.
We’ll show you how to overcome your weaknesses through collaborations with others in your business network. Find people who do for love the things you hate.
3. UNDERSTANDING PURCHASERS (UP)
If you don’t understand buyer behaviour, you’ll be up the proverbial creek, without a paddle. Our UP-SHIT course teaches you the different types of empathy to use at each of the 5 steps in buyer behaviour.
When you understand where potential customers are in the decision-making process, you can meet purchaser needs all the way from tyre kickers to raving fans and repeat business.
4. MAKE OPPORTUNITIES VIABLE ENTERPRISES (MOVE)
If you don’t believe people will pay you to do what you love, then our MOVE-SHIT workshop is for you. A dream is just a plan without a timeframe, so in this workshop, you’ll get the steps to go through to make your dreams come true.
All you need is a passion for something, and this is the stage before startup known as business inception. The Bootstrap Startup program is part of the Inception Network, so think of this as the cross-over course unplugging you from the matrix.
We can only show you the door. You still have to walk through it.
5. DEPRESSED, INSECURE, AND PRECIOUS (DIP)
In our DIP-SHIT course, you learn how to use emotional intelligence in business to overcome the 3 main triggers why all businesses fail. Poor strategy, poor cashflow, and poor products, and how this relates to 3 of the 4 P’s of the marketing mix.
Use critical thinking to avoid these pitfalls and make smarter business decisions on your bootstrap startup journey.
This workshop requires a high degree of self-awareness and can be quite confronting if you are entering the program at this workshop with an existing business. Tools and techniques used in this workshop are covered in more detail in workshops 3 and 4 above, so we recommend doing the other 2 workshops first to get the most out of your face-to-face time here.
6. SOCIAL TROLLS, INSURGENTS, AND FAKE FRIENDS (STIFF)
The last P in the marketing mix, promotion, can be hard for people to do in a Bootstrap startup. Particularly on social media, where you may get criticism that dents your confidence. That’s where our STIFF-SHIT course comes in. It’s not personal, you just need to be a bit thick-skinned in business.
This session includes using a 7-day free trial software used for social media management and website templates for people setting up their own Chatbot Agency. this workshop does not include the ongoing subscription,
This course gives you the tools and techniques to apply what you learned in our BIGA-SHIT and HOT-SHIT courses, turning attacks into an opportunity to show off your expertise.
7. SYSTEMATIC TESTING OF PROBLEMS (STOP)
70% of businesses survive the first year but by the end of 2nd the year, when businesses are looking to scale up, only 50% of businesses survive.
This SToP-SHIT workshop applies Jobs to be done and disruptive innovation theories, as a practical analysis of your business model canvas to focus your activities only on what works. Our HOT-SHIT workshop can teach you what to do about the things that don’t work for you after this workshop as a next step in the continuous improvement process.
