EXECUTIVE COURSE OUTLINES

The course is structured into ten compact, high-impact modules, designed for rapid uptake and immediate application.

1. The Entrepreneurial Mindset: Shifting from Employee to Creator

This foundational module focuses on the psychological overhaul required for business success. It addresses the critical difference between managing tasks and leading vision. Participants will explore concepts such as resilience, calculated risk assessment, failure recovery mechanisms, and developing a growth orientation. We analyze case studies of successful African entrepreneurs to extract actionable mindset habits, emphasizing discipline, perseverance, and emotional intelligence as core business assets.

2. Idea Validation and Market Opportunity Mapping

Having an idea is insufficient; knowing if the market needs it is everything. This module teaches lean startup methodologies, including minimum viable product (MVP) development and iterative testing. We delve into effective market research techniques that can be executed with zero budget, focusing on identifying pain points, defining niche audiences, and performing competitive analysis within the local and digital economies. The goal is to ensure the business idea solves a genuine, paying customer problem.

3. Crafting the 3-Page Executive Business Plan

Traditional, massive business plans are often roadblocks to execution. This module streamlines the process, focusing only on the essential components needed for launch: the value proposition, the operational model, and the financial forecast. Learners will be guided through creating a succinct, compelling document that clearly outlines the path to profitability and serves as a vital tool for stakeholder communication (investors, partners, management).

4. Financial Literacy and Bootstrap Funding Strategies

The biggest barrier to entry is often perceived capital requirements. This section demystifies core financial concepts—cash flow, profit margins, capital expenditure—and emphasizes bootstrapping (self-funding) techniques. We cover practical methods for expense management, smart pricing models, basic taxation awareness, and identifying local micro-finance and grant opportunities relevant to the Nigerian context, minimizing dependence on high-interest loans.

5. Digital Presence and Rapid Customer Acquisition

In the modern marketplace, a digital footprint is non-negotiable. This module focuses on low-cost, high-impact digital strategies. Topics include setting up essential online tools (social media profiles, Google My Business, basic landing pages), content creation that converts, and leveraging free or cheap targeted advertising. The emphasis is on generating initial sales quickly through focused, digital outreach campaigns.

6. Legal Structures and Regulatory Compliance (Nigerian Context)

Understanding the legal landscape is crucial for legitimizing operations and preventing future liabilities. This module provides a simplified overview of business registration processes (CAC), intellectual property protection (trademarks), and fundamental contract law. We discuss the importance of separating personal and business finances and understanding basic regulatory bodies relevant to micro and small enterprises in Nigeria.

7. Operational Efficiency and Supply Chain Management

Success is built on execution. This section focuses on optimizing day-to-day operations. It covers essential topics like process mapping, vendor negotiation, inventory control (if applicable), and leveraging simple technology (like spreadsheets or free scheduling tools) to monitor performance. The core objective is teaching participants how to deliver products or services reliably and cost-effectively.

8. Sales Mastery and Negotiation Tactics

Selling is the lifeblood of any business. This module moves beyond passive advertising to aggressive, ethical sales techniques. It teaches effective pitching, handling customer objections, mastering the art of negotiation for better deals (both selling and buying), and building lasting customer relationships that encourage repeat business and referrals.

9. Team Building, Delegation, and Culture Creation

As the business grows, the entrepreneur must learn to delegate effectively. This module covers the basics of hiring the first few essential team members, defining roles, establishing a positive internal culture, and managing performance. It focuses on how small businesses can attract and retain talent even without large corporate salaries.

10. Scaling Strategies and Sustainable Growth Planning

The final module looks forward, focusing on how to transition from a successful small business to a rapidly growing enterprise. We explore strategic diversification, partnership opportunities, technology integration for scalability, and ethical business practices that ensure long-term community trust and environmental sustainability. This module prepares the entrepreneur for the demands of sustained expansion.
