Description

How do you know if your business idea has legs? You test it. How? Come find out at this one-hour Q&A. Those million-dollar or bright-heart-light ideas float through your mind all the time, but only a couple stick. They persist. Beg you to just try them. They're the ones keeping your mind active late at night. Once someone is ready to really take the first steps in testing whether this has legs, entrepreneurs face a lot of options: read all the books, attend all the classes, hire all the consultants, read all the articles, bootstrap the things that make the most intuitive sense, write a business plan, get a loan, hire someone else to lead the way, make it a side hustle. It can be immediately overwhelming and discouraging. Instead, there is another way. It's simple. Define the offering. Be very, very clear. Define the customer. And then test the market. That's it. Join Holly Harper, a brand strategist and strategic marketing consultant with more than 12 years experience in small business launch, growth, and transition, as she talk's you through the basics of beta testing your idea cheaply, easily, and joyfully.
