STARTING BLOCK

A SIMPLE STEP BY STEP COURSE DESIGNED TO GET YOU FROM AN IDEA TO IN BUSINESS.

Let's Gooooo

You might be asking yourself...

How do I Form an LLC?

Do I really need one?

What kind of business model should I use?

How do I pay self-employment taxes?

When do I hire someone?

Do I need a brand and what exactly is it?

How am I supposed to market my new business?

We Get It!

There are so many questions when it comes to starting your own business.

Most people start with an idea or have something they are particularly good at but as soon as they start to Google the answers to the questions above, they just give up.

That’s why we created Starting Block!

To help people just like you think through some of these questions above and show you how to find the answers. This isn’t some get rich quick scheme with videos of us stepping out of rented Lambo’s and wearing big chunky watches.

Starting Block is two normal guys who have started a few businesses in their lifetime and just want to share what we’ve learned through hard earned experience.

No bullshit.

No salesy bro crap. Just some simple knowledge paired with our personal stories of success and some failures thrown in for good measure.

This 8-part video course course is designed to be your step-by-step guide from idea to execution. Here’s a sneak peek into what you’ll learn:

What’s Your Why

We discuss the importance of understanding WHY you want to build a business. This will be important when things get tough!

Choosing a Business Model

We also discuss the need to choose the business model that’s right for you and your idea. Building and Testing is where we show you how to create low resolution prototypes of your idea to test and iterate on.

Stay Scrappy

Creating a solid business plan that outlines your vision, goals, and strategies. The importance of staying scrappy in the beginning. No need to hire people and spend a bunch of money before you know if your idea is viable.

Setting Up Your Business

Legal, accounting, banking, etc. We walk you through the the backend necessities of getting a business of the ground.

Working With Others

This is where we discuss when to pull the trigger on hiring employees, working with contractors, and potentially building a business with a partner or partners.

Betting On You

More than any of the practical topics above, this is where we talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. The grit and determination. The vision and inspiration. And the showing up every day and doing the thing!

Branding and Messaging

Names, logos, communication with your customers, and other marketing related activities.

We also believe that small businesses can be started easily and sustainably. We don’t sell that hustle culture shit here. We want you to build something that allows you to take care of yourself and your family first. We genuinely enjoy helping people build businesses that they love and want to work on for years to come.

We've seen firsthand the challenges and triumphs that come with building a business from scratch. Our approach is practical, grounded, and focused on sustainable success—no get-rich-quick schemes.
