Course Description

ABOUT THIS COURSE

At TPM Focus, we work with a lot of companies that are either just starting out or small businesses that are adding more products and services to their companies. Both of these are the perfect scenarios for completing the Business Model Canvas.

The business model canvas enables you to think through your business, step-by-step, without creating a 20-page document (the old-fashioned business plan) that takes weeks or months to create.

Instead, it's a one-pager and what we call the "lean" way to develop a new business model or even to document an existing one.  This one-page visual representation makes it easy to see and understand the most important business components.  

This course will teach you how to launch something new, visually target the key areas that need to be considered, and have a full understanding of everything that you need to know to make your new endeavor a success.

A template is included for download in the course. Let's get started!
