Having a plan for starting is useful to achieve traction as soon as possible. And luckily, there is a lot of good advice freely-available about starting a business. Heart and grit are also elements that come into play for the journey of self-discovery that is launching a business.

Topics covered:
• Getting started on a business journey.
• How a business model canvas can help you.
• Why you should consider a self-directed (or with a team) business bootcamp
