Turn Your Idea Into A Business

Turn Your Idea Into A Business

Presented by the Women’s Business Center at JEDI

Duration: 1.5 hours

Have an idea you’ve been thinking about turning into a business — but not sure where to start?
This interactive class will help you take that idea out of your head and begin shaping it into a real, viable business concept.

You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a simple next-step plan to move forward — whether you’re still exploring or ready to launch.

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Identify whether your idea can become a sustainable business

  • Define your customer and the problem you’re solving

  • Understand basic startup costs and pricing considerations

  • Learn simple ways to test your idea before investing money

  • Map your next three action steps to bring your idea to life

Who It’s For

Aspiring entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, or anyone exploring self-employment who wants practical guidance — not theory.

Outcomes

By the end of this session, participants will:
✅ Have a clearly defined business idea
✅ Understand their target audience and potential market
✅ Identify basic startup needs (licenses, funding, marketing essentials)
✅ Know their next steps to move toward launch

Bonus Resources

Participants will receive:

  • A “Start-Up Readiness Checklist”

  • A Business Idea Planner (1-page template to validate your idea)

  • Access to free one-on-one consulting through the WBC at JEDI
