Hello everyone, how are you doing the quarantine? These days it is becoming talking about doing many things, about taking advantage of time. It can be overwhelming and stressful to think that we are not doing enough. Take it easy, and do what you can, and what you feel comfortable with.
But if you like the entrepreneurial world, I have to recommend a course. For those of us who are entrepreneurs, having time now can be a great opportunity. So if you like the world of entrepreneurship, now you have it easy with this Scalabl online course, I took the in-person one and it is highly recommended!
This course is designed and taught by Francisco Santolo, and is 100% online. It is designed to learn about entrepreneurship. I did it in person, in Barcelona, ??and I can tell you that it is wonderful. You dynamically learn a different vision of leadership, which prepares you to start a project or continue fully with the one you have. And there are times when we ask ourselves: what is it? Can I study to be an entrepreneur? And starting by taking a course like this may be the answer.
– 20 hours of theory with explanations, debates, animations and case analysis.Perhaps this is the part that I find most interesting. An online course can become boring if there is no interaction with other students. But in Scalabl you can talk to your colleagues. In fact, it is something that Fran greatly enhances and gives great importance to.
– Practical exercises and complementary material in all units.This is also a very positive point. If you have seen online courses, there are some that limit themselves to giving you the theory and that's it, forget about it! To learn, it is VERY IMPORTANT to do exercises, see things in a practical way, analyze, test. Come on, put your mind to think and analyze. If you just learn things by heart, in my opinion it doesn't do much good.
– You interact and network with students from all over the world. Finally, Scalabl has a lot of students from other editions and from a lot of countries. They encourage networking a lot, and you will be able to find opportunities and people with your same mind set with which to make synergies.
What I love about Fran and his methodology is his philosophy, and him as a person. The design of the course seems to be in place. You will be totally influenced by your vision of the world and business, and that's the best thing! An important point of this course is to familiarize yourself and understand that you can start a business without investment being the fundamental thing. In addition to it being a project that is aligned with you and your values. This means that throughout the course there is a change of chip, and that you begin to see how to do business differently, and to detect business opportunities, that at other times you would not have seen.
In addition to the methodology being good, in terms of syllabus and content it is very complete. In addition to having an idea, it is SUPER IMPORTANT to validate if the idea is valid. solving some REAL problem. And in Scalabl you will learn the Problem Interview tool, essential to discover your client's problems, pains, needs and desires. And the best thing, you will generate the “minimum viable product” for your business idea. A concept that in many cases is often misunderstood and that with this course, you will be left with an understanding. super clear. In addition to this, it also covers setting prices, creating sales materials, sales maps, etc. A lot of ESSENTIAL things, which you will see in a practical way
Francisco Santolo has been a serial entrepreneur since he was a teenager. It's in his blood… but he also has a solid training. He is an economist and MBA, with studies at prestigious universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, Singularity, Kellogg and MIT; recognized in 2017 by Forbes magazine as the «Startup Hacker”.
But the best thing about Fran is his closeness and his involvement in each of the projects. If you are interested in the course and want to take a look at it,here I leave you the website.
