    Course details

    FINALLY a guideline for entrepreneurial success backed up by 10+ years of science research

    The first business course that integrates

    science-based findings on entrepreneurship

    with easy-to-implement tools,

    techniques to make the most promising business decisions

    on your own, and a

    down-to-earth explanation WHY this works

    If you hate blurrish recommendations like "do what you love" for becoming *signficantly with a higher probability* successful with your starting business, this course is for you.

    Don't you hate it? I used to do that, too.

    Here's what I mean:

    Have you lately searched the internet for secrets about entrepreneurship? Have you been "impressed" as much as I have been?

    Title: Just another big insight!

    How actionable is THAT?

    "Limited" would be a polite answer.

    But that's just an extract.

    You get literally overwhelmed by them:

    Believe in yourself ... even if you just got fired, have a hangover and the the coffee you are drinking is bad as the one from your last holidays

    Follow you passion ... but your passion is watching the latest series which you just started to watch via your new subscription to Netflix which you want to try out

    Just do it .. but you don't know WHAT to do (Why do they keep telling me these obvious advices?)

    Yes... if it was so easy. Sure...

    But we who want to have our own business look at these sites, right? Minutes and Minutes on Facebook, Reddit, Entrepreneur Magazine. Even if they don't REALLY help.

    We have made up our mind and we know what we want:

    A future where we buy our friends drinks... and we don't have to even think about the check

    Looking at the mirror in the morning which shows us a face marked by the long hours of hard work, but also … uncannily SHINING from this deep sense of conviction that you are following the right path

    A memory at the last anniversary meeting of our former fellow students who congratulated us to our business, yelling "man, your business is great!"

    … And that's why we happen to be on these sites. Entrepreneur Magazine and so on.

    But think about how much time that is!

    What does this cost you?

    What energy level and hope do you have after 2 hours of ONLY READING this?

    ,,Just do it" is easy to say and there a lot of psychological reasons why this is INTERESTING (think of stylistic devices in rhetoric).

    But what is the actionable value of these advices?

    If you are truly honest with yourself? Not like if you took a cheat day with your meals today and said to yourself "yeah, but I really worked hard today, so this doesn't count".

    Truly honest.

    Well…

    Then what we call progress.. and long hours of "work" is just an illusion.

    But we still KEEP ON reading this. And then we wonder again what we really can BELIEVE now after reading the 5th blog post about the "step-by-step" roadmap guiding path to your own business.

    And then you keep searching. For the "hidden secret". The ultimate recipy for your success as an entrepreneur.

    But everything you have found so far is... Yes, it's working- probably... SOMEhow...

    At least these articles you read: they get a lot of readers!

    So they must be useful to others! But it's the same as watching a movie:

    Without any further use afterwards.

    No other benefit than the time itself.

    Ok, by now you are probably asking:

    Yeah, but where should I go to get useful information? It's not as simple as that. Let me have my time. I need to study more.

    And… in the end everybody has to find his or her own truth, right?

    Yes... So why don't we just continue dreaming and bury our wishes?

    Well... here we go again: Because we want it. You want it. Success. With your own business.

    You want your success as an entrepreneur. With tactics that are working.

    But what happens if you continue reading such stuff without taking action?

    What happens if you read these things, incorporated them into your routines etc…

    but you are still not taking the RIGHT action.

    Because these advices are just phrases. Lifeless quotes of somebody's success, forgone or not.

    Would you agree that your biggest problem is not knowing what really works?

    And more specifically: what works for you. What is really APPROVED and RECOMMENDED.

    So what happens if you do not solve this problem?

    Will you drop your idea of becoming an entrepreneur?

    Will your failures be too high, too irreversible?

    Will you make one of these failures we know about people continuously make they start their business?

    Where is this leading you? You somehow did something, yes.

    But does this … reading… impact your total happiness after a few hours?

    Do you have the same smile of relinquished joy and of knowing what needs to be done which you have … when you see little, hopeful babies and you know they want you to make a funny grimace?

    Do you really feel that happy with this totally unproductive reading?

    And let's get more specific here.

    How do you feel right now with yourself when you probably browsed a lot of different online courses and sites to teach you how to move forward?

    Do you thinking you're making real progress?

    And your income, your wealth? How is it growing? Is it?

    Let me quickly tell you what kind of funny comparison this reminds me of:

    I have this mental picture if I think about how your wealth thinks about random advices like the ones above.

    Ok, imagine this:

    Your wealth is like a whale.

    Yes, a whale.

    Those big animals.

    A whale… STRANDED at the beach.

    And your wealth - the whale- is BEGGING you to FINALLY be surrounded by a stream of …….money again.

    Do you see this picture now, too? How it is dying of thirst?

    Ok, that's enough for now. You should feel the urgency by now.

    So let's get to the positive site, my eager student:

    How would knowing what VERY successful entrepreneurs intuitively do… help you step in their footprints?

    What effects would knowing HOW to come up with business idea AND new products or services for your current business help you in the future?

    Looking back at your previous challenges in life and how certainty helped you overcome them:

    How would the certainty you get from knowing these are SCIENCE-based insights help you to overcome the challenges of entrepreneurship?

    How much time, how much money, how much hassle would that save?

    How much faster could you start as well as grow your business?

    Maybe we together can reach some of these things in this course.

    My name is Erik Maehlmann and I hold a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship.

    During my studies we covered what science can actually tell you what makes entrepreneurs successful.

    And more specifically:

    How a certain way of thinking and decision-making makes some entrepreneurs as successful (they are VERY successful) as they are.

    I studied this more in-depth and wanted to know the actionable parts.

    So here is what I can offer you:

    Introducing an online course

    on the mindset of EXPERT ENTREPRENEURS,

    on how to imitate their decisions for entrepreneurial success

    and on the tools to put these insights

    from 10+ YEARS scientific research into action

    I exclusively selected this content to give you only the most actionable advices. The core content a years-of-study Master program in Entrepreneurship at a top-level university could give you. Now you might think these books and the concepts in these books are too theoretical. Even though many successful entrepreneurs deeply appreciate the work of these authors and these concepts…

    But I understand your concerns.

    So here is my answer:

    These are natural concepts of entrepreneurship.

    Let me explain this.

    The components of this mindset (the exact phrase is decision-logic) are insights gained by professors.

    Yes, I agree: that's the theoretical part.

    But they gained these insights by looking at what VERY successful entrepreneurs have to say.

    How they think.

    How they do things differently than "not-so-successful" entrepreneurs.

    How they make decisions.

    Let me put some numbers to this "very" successful:

    The entrepreneurs who contributed to this scientific study - each of them- founded companies worth now between $200 million and $6,5 billion.

    Let me give you some quick extra information (to compare this):

    The average startup that raises angel equity (so more successful ones) in the US is valued by $4.2 million.

    So the least successful of these expert entrepreneurs has a company valued by MORE THAN 59 TIMES the average value.

    Do you see now why they are called expert entrepreneurs?

    To get even more specific about this fancy name "expert entrepreneurs":

    The founders who participated in milestone study (which lead to the mindset we are talking about in this online course) had a tremendous amount of experience, founded multiple companies, endured successes as well as failures, took their companies public, and …

    ….shared a common way of thinking when making decisions (covered in the course).

    And yes, I repeat myself here, the least successful company of these founder is worth now more than 59 times the average (pause) successful company in the US (more than $200 million).

    What are the end results of this course?

    Ok, back to topic:

    In this online course, we are covering the decision-logic used by the most successful entrepreneurs, including the 5 principles for the early business phase.

    The content of this course is based on 10+ years of research in entrepreneurship and on what leading entrepreneurship professors, but also on what business people intuitively recommend.

    Here is what others are saying about this research on the mindset of Expert Entrepreneurs:

    First good paper I 've seen

    Vinod Khosla, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, Billionaire.

    We will have a look at the real quotes from expert entrepreneurs who analyzed 10 different decision situations, based on a 17-page problem (of course summarized for you).

    At the end you will be able to imitate these founders in their decisions.

    And let's get specific here:

    What is success more than making the right decision when it comes to figuring out

    How you should start a business... with the personality, skills, and knowledge that you have

    How to GROW

    How you get more customers

    How to deal with the competition

    How to do the pricing

    How to market your product

    The researchers gained the principles of this way of leading a business by hearing what the expert entrepreneurs have to say about these points

    and extracting the principles from it.

    And this online business class course is serving you these insights in an actionable format.

    These principles will help you understand a broad variety of new business approaches (you might have heard about these).

    These new findings of entrepreneurship research (covered in the course) are the bases of the content of the following books

    (yes, that means the authors built their business management styles on the research insights - but most likely unconsciously):

    Steve Blank: The Four Steps to the Epiphany

    Eric Ries: The Lean Start-up

    Alexander Osterwalder: Business model canvas

    Ash Maurya: Running Lean

    So these authors intuitively used the concepts derived from more than the last 10+ years of entrepreneurship and designed certain models from it.

    But the unbiased origin of this new entrepreneurial movement is the mindset with its principles covered in this online course.

    So personally, I would study the origin as well as these books.

    But in the end the content of this course covers what's backed up and proven, and then you can pick from the above books the tactics you like

    (by the way: you will get the tools you need to put the research insights directly into action in this course, too).

    What you can take home with you

    Ok, let's eliminate the fluff here: There are 5 Principles to this entrepreneurial mindset. These are woven into one final framework which is constantly used by entrepreneurs to make the right decisions.

    We talk about the exact experiment with which the modern approach was revealed. This course does not give you the content of the research and leave you there. This is not just another blog post to be shared.

    Things like

    "Just do it".

    Title: How the lessons look like

    We go through the different decision-logics of entrepreneurs.

    We discuss

    how the 5 principles interact together,

    how leading entrepreneurial concepts like "The Lean Start-up" are DERIVED from these concepts and how you can apply the fundamental core of these insights by using actionable tactics given in this course.

    So to get this picture straight:

    You get the theory which was EXTRACTED from the practical site, so that it can be taught and learned. And THEN we cover how you can APPLY this again, so that you act as if you never did anything else than founding companies and growing them.

    A natural entrepreneur.

    How does that sound?

    Thought so.

    So the content of this course gives you the edge you need to finally fully understand the advices and rules of already successful entrepreneurs.

    You will see the big picture of entrepreneurship better when you hear quotes like:

    "It's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." Bill Gates

    In every success story, you will find someone who has made a courageous decision. -- Peter F. Drucker

    "Everyone has ideas. They may be too busy or lack the confidence or technical ability to carry them out. But I want to carry them out. It is a matter of getting up and doing it." James Dyson

    "Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough." Elon Musk

    "The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." Mark Zuckerberg

    I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I cannot accept not trying. -- Michael Jordan

    If you have read until here, you are not looking for some make-me-feel-good-about-myself tips, labelled "The 7 Secrets Every Entrepreneur Knows About", but REAL advices.

    Something.. which gives you a perspective how to look on opportunities, challenges and failures.

    With PRINCIPLES serving as your guidelines.

    Real stuff that is derived from RESEARCH.

    Not too heavy stuff, but applicable one.

    The business course will give you

    the theoretical part, the "why this works".

    how many research studies are there, where can I get them?

    how everything was derived

    But is this actionable? I don't just want to her "principles" and "studies". I need actionable recommendations for my business. Give me some tools!

    I knew this was coming. My answer: Everything is arranged for you.

    Title: We will discuss everything with examples.

    You will get the fundamental frameworks, actually two, the five underlying principles, the information about the research settings, the single recommendations derived from the principles, and the tools which incorporate these. All.

    For whom is this course?

    Now, a short note here.

    If you want to

    get the secret business idea which will make you rich overnight

    know illegal tactics how to leverage your business

    have another reason for your theory of your "No business advice out there is useful. Nobody can help me"- world view,

    then I have to ask you a favor:

    Please close this window.

    Now, LEAVE IT OPEN, if you want to get…

    Tool #2, resolving the question: How do I handle risks of my idea or in my business - and how do I minimize them?

    The explanation why our intuitive approach and the one taught in business school is the opposite to what very successful entrepreneurs are doing

    The 5 Principles of Expert Entrepreneurs

    And THEN you can make better decisions when you are wondering…

    Should I follow my passion or should I learn a new skill?

    Should I lower my prices - to defeat the competition- or stay calm?

    Should I select the most promising target market or should I build on the customers I already have?

    By the way: How do I get customers… and how do I get MORE?

    No course before has given you the science-based core recommendations after 10+ years of extensive entrepreneurship research- PLUS the tools for APPLYING them, leaving you with

    actionable insights

    ... from scientific research

    … ... on immensely successful entrepreneu

    ... ... ... that gives you the certainty to choose the way you want to go, while giving you the flexibility to adapt it in your way .

    Ok.

    Think about what you probably just recently read:

    It's about taking action.

    Now is your opportunity. Here in this moment.

    And think about how the next moments will look like if you decide to wait until "you really feel like it".

    How often did you take no action at all?

    How was your regret then?

    How did you feel and HOW much you would have given if you would have done this one thing right:

    smiling the right way when you wanted the most sympathetic person you have ever met to come and join your life

    saying the right words to your partner so he or she does not feel like the worst person on earth when you break up with her

    writing the right answer down on your piece of paper, the last one in your final exam, giving you the access to the institution you always wanted to apply for

    HAD I DONE THIS….

    Is "success with my own business" already on your list of "my deepest wounds"?

    Do you feel a sense of urgency that it might happen to be so, if you continue to do the things as you are doing them?

    Imagine what would be the WORST that could happen with all your choices. Really the worst. Would you agree that it is "not taking action" and always having this black cloud above you reminding you that "you always could have been..."?

    Chris Guillebeau said we should ask ourselves, to leap foward: "What is worthy to be done, regardless of whether I succeed or fail?".

    If you would have gotten this one thing right...

    But you still can.

    You still can get everything right. Even with your entrepreneurial career. With YOUR BUSINESS and the RIGHT PRINCIPLES.

    So I am just here to tell you the hard-edge findings which resulted from studying EXPERT entrepreneurs.

    The price of this course is ridiculous. I know.

    Studying an entrepreneurship master costs you EASILY $5,000 per year.

    Saving your time and not having to study 1 or more years, gives you YEARS OF TIME to practice entrepreneurship in the most recommended way.

    In fact, with this course you can learn THE ONLY PRINCIPLES YOU NEED while doing anything else.

    The time saved alone is worth hundreds of dollars, if I give myself a salary of just 8$ per hour…

    Think about it: YEARS of research, distilled to the actionable content, for less than a cup of simple black coffee a day.

    So this is my first online course. And I'm here to find out what my students want.

    That's why this course is priced so cheaply. At the moment.

    I will raise these prices in the future.

    But that is also why I am giving you a guarantee here.:

    We both have a risk here.
