Beginner Level
Have you ever dreamed of turning your hobby into a money-making endeavor but don't know where to start?  If so, this is the class for you.  We will learn the basics of entrepreneurship and the steps to create your own business right now.  No previous experience is required, as we will work through the process from start to launch together.  

In each class, we will discuss the daily topic and work through the activities together.  I will use examples and modeling to explain how each step works.  For more details about each lesson, please see the Syllabus below.
