Entrepreneurship: 5 keys to building a successful business

Hi Everyone,

Great businesses are built by entrepreneurs who understand that their business is a reflection of themselves. When starting a business you are architecting the future from the ground up.

In order to build a business that reaches any kind of heightened level of success it is imperative to equip yourself with the knowledge you need to push through each stage of the journey.

To empower you on this journey, we outline the initial 5 practical steps you’ll need to launch your business in this course:

• YOU – Characteristics of great entrepreneurs

• CREATE – Develop a business idea that will gain traction

• MARKET – Speak to the hearts and minds of your audience

• SELL – Enrol customers and build a sales model

• DELIVER – Delight your customers and set your business up to scale

If we haven’t already met before, I’m Jack Delosa, Founder & CEO of Australia’s largest education institution for entrepreneurs, The Entourage. I’m also an author, investor and BRW Young Rich List Member.

I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 18, and since then have built several companies, which have reached heightened levels of success. My intention is to empower you with the education you’ll need to do the same.

Remember, learning and consuming knowledge is only half the equation. Success in business is 50% a result of the education we undertake and 50% a result of our ability to implement. Remember to ensure you’re taking steps to action what you learn to set yourself up for success.

Thank you for taking the time to do this course, I hope it resonates with you.

Live On Purpose,
Jack Delosa
