Starting A Business: The Truth Nobody Tells You

With François de Neuville

Most business courses teach you tactics. This one teaches you what actually determines whether you succeed or quit. You'll learn to debunk the myths that kill most startups before they launch, understand the mindset that separates entrepreneurs who survive from those who don't, and navigate the emotional cycle of change that nobody prepares you for. What you'll walk away with: - A realistic picture of what entrepreneurship actually demands - Tools to manage expectations, pressure, and uncertainty - Clarity on what success means for you — not someone else's definition No hype. No overnight success stories. Just the real foundation. If you're serious about starting a business, start here.

I hope you will offer a course with problem solving workshops, or any type of more explorative work on entrepreneurial growth. Like, to identify the root cause of sinking to valley of despair and how to face it, make it shrink and navigate back to the top. Or, coaching starting business owners step by step, what to consider, helping to see the big picture, journal and set intentions, e.g. one week per topic. Daily clarity morning sessions. This felt like a TED talk, interesting and entertaining, but I need to zoom in on the details. It is something a starting business owner needs to do daily, to maintain focus and reinforce determination. I love your humoristic style, it is a stress relief in itself, and a bit of humour helps admitting failure and putting it to context, and move on. Sometimes you say a word very fast and it is difficult to get which distracts a bit (like, "did I just miss the most important word in the sentence?"), maybe consider this in future recordings. 🤗
