Business online classes – do’s and don’ts

There are so many business online classes and they come in all shapes and sizes.  When you are starting your own business you need to make the right choice.

Apart from running multiple real world businesses I’ve worked with MBA courses and professors at business schools,, I’m going to overview some of the different types of courses that are available and then show you what you should look out for.

I’ll also explain some of the tricks and traps you should avoid. You’ll quickly see what you should be doing.

What’s available?

The two most popular online business courses generally come in two flavors. Downloads and drip drip sessions. here are some of the traps that people get stuck in.

The download is where you pay money and literally download a file (usually pdf). That’s it. Our point of view here is that you’re better off getting a book out of the library than paying for these downloads. it will save you lots of money and probably be just as good. Don’t beleiev promises of instant riches either.

The drip drip sessions can be equally problematic. You pay for part one and realize that you need 16 parts and soon discover that most of the valuable information is, guess what….. at the end.

if you’re going down the the sessions approach make sure that your payment gets you everything and there are no additional charges.

What should you do?

Business online classes at top business schools feature a well thought through course that are overseen by experts who are available for you. people spend up to four years and sometimes, a hundred thousand dollars to attend the top schools. But note the two key elements – a well thought through course and coaching.

The problem with business school is that it’s really expensive and takes years of work.

This is what you should look for in business online classes.

1. Clear fees with no hidden extras. Avoid, at all cost, sites that start charging for stuff that should have been in the package that you originally paid for. It’s like buying an airline ticket and then being charged extra for food, baggage… whoops they already do that :-) You know what I mean!
2. A step by step easy to follow approach that lets you work at your pace. You probably have a job today and are looking at setting up your new business in your spare time. You may me a mother with kids. You can’t spend 40 hours a week on this at the moment. The system needs to understand this and be flexible.
3. Coaches who have real experience – not people who were losers with no experience and suddenly discovered a miracle solution. For example, we have had senior positions at household name companies and now run multiple business ourselves. We’ve stood in your shoes.
4. Coaches who are available when you need them. You’re going to have moments when you’re confused and unsure. We want you to be successful and actually really enjoy helping people and hearing about their wonderful ideas.
5. A guarantee – if you’re not 100% happy you should be able to get a full refund over the first couple of months. If they can’t offer that you know something is wrong. We do, because we know that people love using our system.

There’s a reason that professors from the 3 top business schools (Harvard, Kellogg and Chicago Booth) in the US, really liked our approach at We Dared To Dream. We don’t promise you overnight riches. there are no hidden charges and there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee. What we offer is simple. A proven step-by-step system developed over years. Coaching from experts who have done it themselves.

Business online classes are important because they are going to support you at a crucial moment. make sure you ask the right questions and make the right choice. Good luck!
