Chapters
My name is Simon Ramsey. I have been in the technology space for over 25 years. I have built my own online software that focuses on online communities. I joined the program in order to grow my existing business. One of the key processes in the program is the ability to de risk your idea. I think this has been one of the most important lessons I've learned, is that you don't have to spend money to launch your business. One of the biggest wins on the program for me was to be able to pivot my online platform from a networking system to a marketing and e commerce system. I don't think I could have done that without going through the steps of the program. So I've really grown during this program in new ways. One of the most important ways, I think for me and for everyone around me is the confidence that it's given me to know what to do next and know that when I do it, there are very specific tests that I can apply to whatever I do next that will allow me to judge whether it's a good step or not. I would recommend this program to an entrepreneur because it allows them to figure out if their idea is really going to be successful or not. And if not, it gives you the chance to develop the idea or completely change it and find and understand the formula of really developing any idea until it's successful.
