Class Overview

The Building Your Business program is designed to help Average-Joe’s and -Jane’s explore and launch their self-employment dreams. It was created with two main goals in mind; to provide those who start a business the required knowledge and skills to have a good chance of success, and to persuade those who might start a potentially ruinous business that perhaps self-employment isn't right for them.

The Building Your Business program is based on over five years of experience teaching a similar course for a non-profit organization in Madison, Wisconsin. Since then, the course has been revamped to make the curriculum more descriptive, more informative, and more fun. Over 350 participants came through the old program, and at least 50 businesses started as a result. Many of these businesses continue to find success.

There are other programs available to those who want to start a business in the Dane County region, but these programs are not for everyone. First, they are expensive, from two to four times the cost for the same information. Second, these programs use widely different curriculums and teaching methods that may not appeal to many learners. The Building Your Business curriculum is based not only on the instructor's many years of business and teaching experience, but also on sound adult-learning theory, so that everyone will benefit.

The program has two tracks, each with three, three-hour sessions. Plus, participants in either track can attend an additional class where experts answer your questions. An accompanying book created specifically for this class covers each topic in greater detail. Written in an engaging, easy to read style, the book gives the learners an additional way to learn, and provides an ongoing reference when the course is over.

Kevin offered an excellent business class. His explanations were clear. He took extra time with anyone who asked. I appreciated his honesty, and his humor lightened the load.

I came to the Building Your Business class with limited knowledge on how to proceed with growing my business, and I wondered how applicable it would be for me and my work. It was amazing and I learned many skills to proceed with growing my business. I highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about, or running, a small business.
