Grow and understand your business better with LEADING EDGE
Even if we’re experts regarding our product or service, most of us were never taught to be business owners; we were taught to be employees.
LEADING EDGE is a 12-week course designed to teach you how to start and/or grow a successful business based on an actionable business plan. The program is a combination of in-classroom sessions, interactive learning exercises, and conversations with subject experts. By the end of the course, you will understand the aspects of running a business, have a written business plan or strategy, and test your model for financial viability.
"The LEADING EDGE class is an comprehensive program for small businesses. All businesses, whether just getting started or have been in business for many years, can benefit from content presented from the class instructors. The value of the small group format cannot be measured. To this day, I collaborate with the people I met at the LEADING EDGE class.
