YOU think you might have what it takes to make your own choices and decisions, chart your own course, be the best you can be, and give something to the world.

BYB is a course of workshops, meetings and events. It provides a Small Business Backpack of 'simpler business' decision-making tools, interactions with successful entrepreneurs who have walked the walk, and the kind of intensive peer mentoring and friendship with other 'Edgies' which values the intangible, creative and human elements of successful entrepreneurship. (This includes Edgies from previous BYB's.) Your key outcome is a focused, practical and flexible 'One Page Business Plan' which you'll use to guide your business growth.

BYB is highly flexible in its delivery style, but favours an intensive 'coal to diamonds' approach to create pressure and a sense of urgency about action, about actually getting things moving. In 2009-2010 this will usually involve a set of four full-day sessions, spaced a fortnight apart. More details will be published (on the right hand side of this page) as the schedule for the year is finalised.

Indigenous Business

In the second half of 2007 Edgeware successfully trialled an adaptation of the core Build Your Business program for Indigenous learners, creating a model for business development uniquely suited to Indigenous learning styles and processes. The program will now be offered throughout 2009 and 2010. Contact us if you'd like to know more.

Intrapreneurship

We also offer intensive BYB programs for intrapreneurs, people working within organisations which seek to grow an entrepreneurial culture. Contact us for information.
