In this private, 1:1 semester business class, your learner will dive into the world of entrepreneurship!  The first 3 weeks explore a basic, draft business plan for a real or imagined business.  Weeks 4-10 dive into topics that support a robust business plan like visuals, sustainability, and social media marketing.  Please note that this is designed as a 10 week course, but the length will depend on how fast we move through the material, how many questions your learner asks, whether they have special interests, etc.  

An additional 6-10 weeks can be added based on the topics of the Semester Business Part 2 class, if desired.

Week 1:  Elements of a business plan
Week 2:  What goes into pricing your product or service
Week 3:  How personality and strengths/challenges can impact/improve your business
Week 4:  Social media marketing platforms and best practices
Week 5:  Defining what sustainability means for you and your business
Week 6:  Speak confidently about your business through self awareness
Week 7:  Visuals for your business Part 1: Design your logo, tag line, brand colors (Canva)
Week 8:  Visuals for your business Part 2: Design a post for social media (Canva)
Week 9:  Visuals Part 3: Flexible class re: websites, craft fair table setup, product design
Week 10:  Final learner presentations and teacher feedback

This class requires very little materials - just a journal and a notebook.  Any worksheets posted in the classroom can be printed OR filled out digitally OR answers jotted in a notebook.  The Canva classes require a Canva account (free or paid) and access to Canva on the app or website.  Please ensure before signing up for this class that your learner can access Canva on a phone or computer, as I cannot troubleshoot Canva log-in issues during class.

Homework may be assigned between classes (5-30 minutes), but is optional.  If you would like your learner to have accountability for homework, please message me in advance, and we will start class by reviewing last week's homework.  

The final presentation is a key part of this class, but learners are offered multiple format options (presentation, essay, video essay, pre-recorded slideshow, etc.)  

This class is highly interactive.  In my group classes, I encourage students to participate verbally or in the chat.  However this 1:1 class assumes the learner will be available to chat verbally - if your student is interested in the class but non-verbal or wants to stay silent, please reach out to confirm how best we can structure the class series!  

Please reach out if your learner has any learning needs I can be aware of to help them learn best!
