IN THIS LESSON

Having an idea and deciding to act on it can feel very different. For first-time founders, one of the biggest questions is often simply: where do I start?

In this Expert Insight, Clôd Baumgartner draws on her own entrepreneurial experience to share practical advice for taking those first steps. She reflects on the value of starting even when you don't have everything figured out, while also using tools such as the Social Business Model Canvas to break an idea down and begin turning it into a more concrete venture.

As you watch, consider:

  • What is one step you could take now rather than waiting until you have everything figured out?

  • Which parts of your idea would become clearer if you put them down on paper?

  • What questions about your business model do you need to explore next?
