With today’s business services and technology in the “cloud”, it never been easier to setup and organize your business effectively – but there are so many choices, and it is confusing! Don’t worry about the technology – this course is targeted for all users – you do NOT need any background in legal, business, IT, or accounting. I’ll show you which business services to pick and the correct way to configure and use them. The only thing you need is the desire to turn your business dreams into reality!

This course will save you time and significant money by allowing you to either:

A. Learn how to do common business setup tasks yourself by following our step-by-step exercises

B. Understand the details and language behind a business task that you are planning on outsourcing. This will drive down the total cost of the task from your external party as well as improve the quality of the final output by allowing you to ask the correct questions and define the project more accurately. The cost of this course is a fraction of the cost getting something wrong with an external consultant.
