Wilderness Pathfinder

Maybe you're like I used to be: A Smart Engineer who is a Naive Businessman, without any training or experience. Maybe you're an independent person who wants to strike out on their own but it's tough breaking out of your comfort zone. 

Maybe you're a scientist with a great invention. Maybe you're somewhere in East Africa where finding a good job is impossible without money, connections, and a college degree: you have to bootstrap yourself into a business to get income.

If so, you too are a Newbie Entrepreneur who wants to be successful in an unfamiliar Wilderness where you have little training and are lost as to what to do next.

You're a Newbiepreneur™;
Welcome! This a place is for you.

Our main activity is completing The Book about Business Strategy & Operations for Newbiepreneurs™, and its companion workbook: The Quick & Dirty Workbook for Newbiepreneurs™. 

But while the book is being completed, we're actively posting and engaging with our publication followers on Substack: 

• Ignite.Act.Win. (english) » 

• Anza.Tenda.Shinda. (swahili) »

Join us there as we flesh out ideas and pages for The Book. Join the discussion through comments and suggestions.

We are also open for coaching Newbiepreneurs™ on a one-off basis and helping them with both with an on-going business or in developing their business plans. Contact David for further details and pricing.

Future Offering: 2025

Practical and Engaging Training for the Busy Newbiepreneur™: A hands-on experience using the The Quick & Dirty Workbook for Newbiepreneurs™ which contains worksheets, forms, and Quick & Dirty Techniques to avoid Analysis Paralysis. Meeting once a week in a Video call with up to 15 other Newbiepreneurs™, I'll be conducting the course and you'll get a chance to try techniques, tell about your experience using the techniques, get tips from me, and hear the progress and ideas of others.
