The Entrepreneur Project
The Entrepreneur Project is a twelve month program to focus your energy & take your business to the next level.
Work intensively with a nationally recognized business coach, Helaine Iris, and a cohort of like-minded business owners in this proven year-long program.
The Entrepreneur Project has achieved an impressive record of results. Participants, on average, more than doubled the revenues of their company. Documented surveys attest to the value received and satisfaction of participants in the course.
Next class starts in May 2012 - contact us for more details.
Why Enroll in This Program?
You work very hard to attract customers and deliver your products or services. However, you’re too busy to focus on the growth of your business. The Entrepreneur Project takes you out of that reality. With structure, accountability and support, you can put into place, one by one, the pieces that will enable your business to grow.
How the Program is Unique
There are three elements that enable The Entrepreneur Project to deliver stunning results.
First, unlike most business building programs, it coaches you on both personal and business development. After all, if your friends and family are perpetually angry with you because you can’t carve out time for them, is a business that doubles in size truly going to make you happy? Apart from work/life balance, many of the obstacles that come up in business relate to personal blocks that require solutions so that you can achieve better outcomes.
Second, the course guides you to an understanding of some business fundamentals that you may never have learned because you’re flying by the seat of your pants. Don’t worry – if you haven’t cracked a textbook in 20 years, this instruction is not complicated and it’s very, very practical. With Helaine’s help, you put together a written plan that serves as a roadmap for your business.
Third, along with mentoring from an experienced, knowledgeable instructor and coach, you benefit from masterminding and resource sharing with the other members of the group (limited to 8 participants). Very often another participant in the program has the perfect answer or rationale for something that’s been holding you back.
Note too that very few coaching programs of any sort have evidence that they deliver results. They present isolated testimonials but not the overall record of what participants achieved as a result of the coaching program. The Entrepreneur Project has a proven track record of increasing participants’ business revenues an average of 120 percent. That means annual sales more than doubled! (Further details and documentation are available upon request.)
