Launching our new Boost Your Start-Up course!
We are really looking forward to starting our 7-week ‘Boost Your Start-Up’ course this month! Our free course aims to help Devon-based entrepreneurs in the early stage of their start-up company, whether they have an idea for a business model or have already launched and need extra guidance.
From workshops on intellectual property, sales, marketing, customer retention and accounting basics, to building resilience, developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and public speaking, this will give you all the tools you need to boost your start-up!
Joining us is the founder of Boost Your Business Network: James Court! He is a renowned expert with 20+ years of experience helping start-ups, and will be using his vast knowledge to host our core Monday sessions.
“Anyone who has started a business will know the journey is not easy,” James says. “There’s so many things to consider, and it’s all about getting your foundations right. I can’t wait to see you at Newton Abbot Library.”
After each Monday session, you’ll have the opportunity to network with the speaker and other attendees, which will give you many valuable connections, both in-person and across any social media platforms you’ll be using together. The core material will be recorded so participants can review it at their own pace.
