Curriculum

Entrepreneurial Mindset

Though creating a new venture is the focus of the program, we first have to take a step back. To create a successful business, it’s not just about what you do (technical execution), it is also about how you think. This session will help re-frame your thinking in order to maximize your chances for success as a business owner.

Do you actually know your audience? Do you understand the path a visitor takes to becoming a loyal customer? How much of that understanding is driven by data?

The goal is to enable your brand to streamline activity by focusing on customers that truly drive value for your brand. Consequentially improving CLTV, reducing costs, increasing ROAS and much more!
