Business Fundamentals Course is Launched

April 8, 2008

Hi Everyone

It gives me great pleasure to let you know that the course is now live. It is a seven week programme that you will get sent to your in-box. Most important of all is it is currently free as I originally planned. But there is a catch; isn’t there always?

What I would like you to do is give me some feedback as you go through it. What is good, what is bad and what is just downright confusing. Is there anything missing that you think should have been covered? Have I spent too long in one area or not enough time? Or did you just think the whole thing is great!

Although it is a free course at the moment I am not committing to leave it free. I have put a lot of great content into it and it basically walks you through how to grow and develop your business. The seven parts are:

Part 1- What Does Your Business Actually Do?

Business is simple and yet most people seem to want to make it complicated. Find out the basic business model that every business has to operate from and determine what it is for your business.

Part 2 - The Five Phases Of Business Development

Every business moves through five phases. Each phase has a significant impact on the business structure. Not knowing what the phases are or there effects can have your business going round in circles rather than growing.

Part 3 - Why Every Business Needs Seven Departments

There is a basic structure to every business consisting of seven parts. If one of these parts is missing that could be a problem for you.

Part 4 - Changing Roles as Your Business Grows

As a business grows the role of the owner changes. Find out what the roles are and see if you are playing your part.

Part 5 - You Can’t Improve It If You Can’t See It

To develop your business you need a map. Find out what kind of map and how to draw one for yourself.

Part 6 - Creating a Joined-Up business

With everything else in place it is time to ensure that your business can flow. Learn the secret to ensuring you have a consistent and trouble free business.

Part 7 - Planning Your Future Growth

Finally, with everything in place you can begin to think about how to develop your business. Learn what you have to do and why you have to do it.

Over the seven parts you will be introduced to the 20 Business Fundamentals that I believe every business must comply with if it is to be successful. To get your copy go to http://www.businessperformancecoaching.co.uk/spc/spmc-sign.html

  1. Hi Eric,
    Thanks for the first part of the course. I’ve been running our business for 4 years now and was a little sceptical about needing to look at a course about running a business but to my surprise and great pleaseure I wish I had access to
    this course when I first started the business. It clearly sets out the basic fundamentals of why you want to run a business instead of working for someone else. That made me stop and take stock of why the hell am I doing what I’m doing. I then releaised that running your own business is a lot more exciting and personally satisfying than ever working for anyone else again. Thanks for helping me put my business into perspective with my life. Can’t wait for the next part.

  2. Eric,

    outstanding stuff. Great to meet you in person last week — and a big thank you for the not-so-sugary kick up the backside! Your insightful comments were/are well received.
    Enjoying the course — like I told you a lot of overlap with what I’m hoping to achieve over at my Business Growth Series. I’ll certainly mention your blog over there.
    All the best
    Veit
