Course Description

Running your own private practice can be very rewarding if you value the freedom and independence that come from working for yourself. You get to work with more of your ideal clients.

The downside of running your own private practice includes periods of uncertainty, especially when you are starting out. It takes a while to learn to go with the flow and to trust the big picture. There are also feelings of discomfort in having to push the boundaries in doing things you may never have done before, such as speaking to others about what you do and managing the money issues.

Running your own private practice gives you the freedom to work in areas in which you have a passion, to be innovative and entrepreneurial if you wish, to avoid office politics, and to be properly rewarded for what you do.

Whether you are a counsellor, psychologist, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, social worker, occupational therapist, naturopath, or other self-employed service provider, this course programme will help you to avoid the pitfalls that lead approximately 10%%%% of small businesses to fail each year and a significantly higher proportion to struggle financially.

This course contains 10 individual sessions, outlining the most common pitfalls and what you can do about avoiding them. You will get some great insights while starting to recognise how you can be more effective in sourcing new clients when building your private practice.

Course Description

Do you want to become an App Maker?

Learn the 5 Step App Making Process, a simple and concise way of getting from nothing to App Store in a matter of weeks. This course teaches you how to make money as an entrepreneur in the app making business, as a freelancer or tech co-founder, by explaining the structure of the app making process.

Why Should You Do This Course?

The "Become an App Making Entrepreneur" course is an excellent starting point for anyone that wants to work in the app making business. Right now, there is a high demand for App Makers and experts who know how to solve problems with technology. Do this course if you want to start in that business, because it'll give you a great head-start with a well-structured process.

The 5 Step App Making Process, In Short

Inquire

The Inquiry step is the first step of the Process, and starts once you've found a prospect. The Inquire step is finding out what a client wants.

Mockup

The second step in the process will deliver you a tangible layout, flow and feature list for the app. A mockup is a rough visual representation of an app.

Design

With the mockup made, you can go to a designer and say: this is what I want, can you make it pretty? For the third step, you ask your client what kind of graphical style they like and find a graphic designer that fits the needs and the budget.

Develop

Now that the design is ready, you can go to a developer and see whether they can make what you want. Perhaps you're a developer yourself. The fourth step in the process usually takes the longest, but ultimately it results in a tangible and functionable app!

Deliver

Make sure your client is a happy client. See whether they like the end result and if it can be improved. The last and fifth step in the process is about delivery, a little upselling and finishing the project.

Materials

The course features 7 video's, 5 about the Steps and 1 for the introduction and 1 with a demonstration of making mockups. Also, there's an e-book on the entire 5 Step App Making Process and a PDF with optional assignments.

What It Doesn't Teach You

This course does not teach you programming or graphic design. It's purely aimed at the entrepreneur, the business person that takes on the management role. Of course, if you're a designer or a developer, this course is for you -- no need to hire if you can do it yourself!

What are the requirements?

There's no prerequisite knowledge!
Hardware & Software: an Apple Mac (MacBook, Mini, Air, etc.) with OS X (for app programming). Perhaps an iPhone or iPad, to test apps you're making.
What am I going to get from this course?

Over 9 lectures and 2 hours of content!
By the end of this course, you'll know how to handle an App Making project from beginning to end. You'll know how to get a prospect, make their wishes tangible, find a good designer and developer (or do that yourself) and deliver a stunning end result (the app!).
What is the target audience?

Starters, fresh graduates (college or university) with an eye for apps.
Second-career professionals, those who've been working for a long time already and want a fresh start in the app industry.
