Education Business

Businessan James Caan is launching The James Caan Entrepreneurs’ Business Academy, which specialises in entrepreneurialism.

His new venture is for emerging entrepreneurs and existing owners of small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs), and will provide knowledge, pass on experience and practical guidance for entrepreneurs.

The course ensures that entrepreneurs’ capitalise on ‘sweat equity’ and ‘sunk cost’ by developing either a plan to increase then sell their business or take their business to a much higher level.

The Academy will allow business owners and entrepreneurs to connect with Caan and his team of entrepreneurs, mentors and business owners, decide their purpose and vision for 2010 and the next three, five, seven, ten years, rediscover their business and passion for it, hire the key staff and maximise customer service impact and use it as a form of ‘mutual sales activity’.

Also, learn to maximise revenue, increase profit and generate more ready cash, come up with the tools to launch another entrepreneurial venture or launch successful add-ons, spin-offs and sidebar, discover how to get more done in less time, by continuous focused action, learn how to innovate and sustain business growth and manage a team.

Caan’s EBA mentors will allow entrepreneurs and business owners to capitalise on their knowledge gains and learn from their mistakes so they can avoid them when growing their own business. They will provide business coaching, on-going guidance and mentoring way beyond the level of consultancy most business owners have come to expect.

A recent Dunn and Bradstreet survey discovered that 90 per cent of SMEs fail because of the lack of all-round knowledge of the business owner.

Cann says: "5 per cent of being an entrepreneur is about the idea and mindset, the rest is about taking action and accountability. Every course draws on real-life learnings from my experiences and lessons I learnt along the way."
