If you have a business idea you can apply it to the course to help you to rethink your value proposition, otherwise you can apply it to a hypothetical case study they provide.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An added benefit is you will get to know the entrepreneurs doing the course alongside you, and you\u2019ll be able to share your experiences and perhaps even start a team together afterwards!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIn addition to getting to know great ideas and value propositions around emerging economies, the course opened up a mindset on how to discuss culturally-sensitive obstacles and challenges.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You will learn:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Follow the \u2018number 1 Internet Marketing Service Provider\u2019 Chris Farrell, as he teaches you how to start a web business from scratch in just 21 days.
