Syllabus

Mini-Bootcamp for Small Business Owners

Starting a business? Or stuck in a rut with your current business? This 3-hour mini-bootcamp will whip it into shape. Your instructor, Nate Wright of Small Biz Triage, will help you uncover the weaknesses in your business and teach you how to strengthen it to weather any economy.

Before the bootcamp, you’ll speak with Nate to assess the current health of your business so he can tailor the course accordingly. Topics covered will range from techniques for identifying (and connecting with) better customers, to a no-frills human approach to digital marketing. You’ll leave the Mini-Bootcamp for Small Business Owners with a scheduled list of tasks designed to toughen up those weak points, plus the knowledge, confidence and focus to grow a stronger business.

Due to the intense, hands-on nature of this course, class size is limited to 10 owners.
