Incredible crash course into entrepreneurship. Startup ignition teaches you the right way to start a business and how to avoid so many common pitfalls. It’s a must-take course for anyone wanting to start a business. John Richards takes care of his students and has helped me out numerous times post-graduation.

I have taken Startup Ignition twice now - once when I founded the business, and again just last month once I had more traction. Gotta say, John Richards and all of the instructors have a deep, complete understanding of Lean Startup methodology, backed up with countless real life examples of entrepreneurs they have personally mentored, invested in, watched succeed, seen fail, and everything in between. You will not regret the enormously SMALL investment in this course that will literally save you thousands of hours and millions of dollars over the course of your business' journey. It has my 100% recommendation, now go take it.

I RECOMMEND THIS COURSE FOR EVERYONE!
It is A MUST take for anyone serious about achieving their ideas and dreams be it via a career path or entrepreneurial path.
Don't think, just take this course. It will be the best self/career investment you make. Even if you are not wanting to start your own business, you will benefit from this course. Plan to exit this course with a new way of looking at life; a dynamic skill to identify, evaluate, and execute opportunities; tools to produce money; a network to the most influential individuals in Utah, and a resilient self-confidence that will get you were you want to go.
I have spent years in formal education, pursuing multiple degrees including a bachelors in Entrepreneurship, along with participating in diverse entrepreneurial ventures to know what I could have easily gained out of Startup Ignition. I wish Startup Ignition had been around 15 years ago to save me hundreds of thousands in education and profit me hundreds of thousand in revenue and time having fun.
So what exactly does Startup Ignition do? The course properly opens your mind and shifts your thinking. You begin to see opportunities (problems, pains, gaps), evaluate them (profitability of creating a solution), and effectively execute (make money) without even thinking that you're doing it. The associative skills to that mindset are seeded if not adequately matured for harvest; including questioning, listening, negotiating, collaborating, and selling.
