Launching
Perfect for: Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Create Your Lean Business Plan
The number one reason startups fail is misreading market demand. The second is running out of funding. With a proven business plan in place, you can confidently launch your business.
Secure Your Financing
Cash is king in business. Getting the right financing to fund your idea and keep your business running is crucial. John will work with you to determine which funding method is most viable for your idea.
Grow Your Customer/Patient Base
Most businesses develop a service or product, then find a customer base. Successful startups first develop a customer base then sell them a product or service offering. John will help you investigate the real needs of potential customers and develop your brand so you launch with customers who are ready and excited to buy.

Improve and Scale Your Processes
