Startup Mentoring
How would you like a free 30 minute consultation to review your current business or get feedback about the new one you are intending to start?
Read on to find out more…
You are probably reading this because you are interested in starting a business or you have already started one and are in the early stages.
As you are well aware, there is a lot of uncertainty when you are starting a business:
- Where do you start?
- Will the business be profitable?
- How do you actually turn this great idea into a business you can make money out of?
- How do you make a business profitable when you’ve been running 6 months and there’s still no money coming in?
- Do you need to raise capital? Where do you get it from?
The problem with uncertainty is it creates risk. Smart entrepreneurs are not risk takers. They are aware of the risks and plan to mitigate them. Of course, there is always some risk in starting a business – it’s the nature of the beast – and part of what makes it exciting. But when you have a lot of unanswered questions about your business (and by unanswered I mean you don’t have definite, specific answers that make business sense) then you open yourself up to unnecessary risk in starting your business.
However there is a way to give yourself answers to the questions you have and create a lot more certainty for yourself. After all, we all want to know when we start a business, that the returns will be worth the time and money we invest into it.
Jeffrey Timmons, a distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurship, said that there are three things a business founder needs to juggle in order to create a successful business: the opportunity, the team and the resources. Most entrepreneurs have worked out the team and the resources they need, but the thing that will give you some answers to the uncertainty is knowing your opportunity inside out.
The best way to gain this knowledge is to go through a thorough opportunity evaluation process which will give you the information you need to know whether your business is going to be profitable in your chosen market. Opportunity Evaluation is a tool seasoned entrepreneurs use before they get into a new venture. It provides you will the chance to tweak and change your business before you spend too much of your valuable time and money on it.
How I can help?
I have developed a mentoring program that will step you through the process and give you targeted mentoring for your business. This is what you get:
- One task to do each day to move your business forward, taking 15 – 30 minutes of your time
- Personal phone mentoring – 6 x 30 minute phone conversations with your mentor – Susan Jones, which will give you questions and feedback designed to improve your idea and keep you on track
- Guided learning materials that will step you through the process of thoroughly evaluating the opportunity you are commercialising. This consists of powerful University level Entrepreneurship tools explained in a simple way and made easy to implement on YOUR business
Who is this for?
- People who want to take action to start a business now
- People who have started a business, but it is not running the way they want it to, and they want to work out why
Some of the types of entrepreneurs I have mentored in the past include people starting high tech ot internet businesses, mompreneurs, university students wanting to start a business to pay their way through Uni and small business owners and seasoned entrepreneurs wanting to investigate a new business opportunity.
I know this information works for everyone and any type of business. I have seen ideas transformed many times from an average idea into an awesome idea, just by applying the principles you will learn in this program. In fact I guarantee it. Putting it into practise – that’s up to you. If you are ready to work on your business, then this program is for you.
If you are not sure whether the program would be useful to you (or you want to check me out) contact me to schedule a 30 minute chat where we can review your business idea for free. Then you decide.
Why do you need this?
The Ready Set Startup Mentoring Program gives you the tools to reduce your risk and plan thoroughly so when you launch, your business will be a success. They can also be applied to create change in an existing business to make it more successful.
You will have the confidence and knowledge to launch your idea or you will know that you need to change it and how to create an idea that has a high probability of success.
More about the program
There is a lot of information about business and startups on the internet – so much that you could read blogs and tweets all day and not move forward on your business at all. What is presented in this program is carefully edited so you focus only on the crucial principles you have to get right for your business to work – no fluff, just powerful strategies you can apply to your business.

So who is Susan Jones anyway?
I am the founder of Ready Set Startup. I am passionate about helping business owners in the beginning stages of their business and sending them off on the right foot for success in business. I am a lecturer in Entrepreneurship at Swinburne University. I am a great teacher and consistently get positive feedback from my students. I have won national and international business plan competitions and have run my own businesses since the 1990’s. I have helped hundreds of people to develop profitable business ideas using these powerful principles that apply to every business. I hold a Master’s degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
I am direct. I will say it like it is. I will challenge you and push you to make your business the best it can be. That’s because the best feedback I can have is that you are running a successful business.
The bottom line - What’s your investment?
The knowledge this program will give you is invaluable. You can use these principles, not just on this idea, but for every business you develop in the future. And the cost of failure is high – both in time and money and often psychologically.
Because I want to get some clients on my books for the start of next year, I have made a special price for mentoring. If you sign up before Dec 31, you can go through the whole program for $495-. I know website sales letters always say this, but the price will go up after that, for two reasons; one, because I think the value you get out of this is worth way more than that and two because it is not financially feasible for me to offer it at this price indefinitely.
If you want to sign up, then you can use the form below and then contact me to make a time to get started.
Here’s my Guarantee:
If you complete the program and don’t either
- make the amount you paid for it when you start your business, or
- save the amount you paid for it,
then I will refund your money.
However I am confident that with this information and guidance you can make many times the price you pay.
If you have any questions, remember you can contact me for a free 30 minute consultation with no strings attached. It is entirely up to you whether you go ahead – infact I am really only looking for people who are serious about working on their business now to make it a success.
Whatever you do, I wish you every success for your adventure in business.
Regards
Susan
