These are good practical guardrails to use when establishing a business that is based on one's dreams. The instructor is clear and rational on the more emotional issues such as passion, His use of methods which he has tried is a great reminder that we need to try different things to find our sweetspot. And his casual use of easy humor makes it easy to stick with.

The content of this course was simple and easy to digest, while remaining relevant the entire way through. I'm excited to apply its teachings. I appreciate that the instructor, Steven Burns, was so engaging. Often times, when participating in courses from Udemy (or from many other sources), I find my "monkey mind" taking over, and my focus quickly diminishing - that did not occur at all during this course. As such, I definitely plan to check out his other offerings here on Udemy.

It truly involves the fundamentals, such a great help to make sure you're starting your business RIGHT. That you know WHY you are starting it and WHAT the steps are to take. Through this course I created a great niche I'm passionate about, with an online course and a coaching-package that I'm sure will help many people. Good luck with the course! Enjoy it! Thank you Steven

Steven is an AMAZING instructor. I've taken 3 of his Udemy courses and plan to take more. I really enjoyed some new perspectives in this course. And as a person with ADHD, I appreciate how he can simplify concepts that other trainers make so complicated. As Albert Einstein said, “Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex.” Thanks, Steven, for another wonderful course!

So far, I've learned a lot of fundamental tips for starting a business in this field. These tips can be applied to most any business creation. It's all about changing your mindset from being an employee (one who works for others) to being a boss (business owner).

Steve approaches his students with a light heart and humor. I believe his NLP knowledge makes him an outstanding teacher. He is direct and to the point- NO FLUFF! Thanks Steve, I am enjoying listening to you.

Lots of useful information, necely presented with clear relaxed Scottish charm. I mostly listened to this whilst doing other things, and it works well as an audiobook. It's not overproduced or over-slick, and so you get a sense the content comes from genuine experience. It's also not one of these unnecessarily long Udemy courses.
By Megan Blatchford-Peck on 2/14/2022
The information in this course was absolute GOLD. There was so much value, and I would have no hesitation in investing in any of Steven’s other courses. There is absolutely no excuse for me now, not to take things to the next level now and establish my business.

Steven Burns is a delightful instructor and this course was surprisingly helpful! I have taken other kinds of courses and seminars intended to help therapists and coaches market themselves and their services, and I found most of the information was too dense and a little overwhelming for someone just starting out. This course on the other hand offered useful and easily applicable information, presented in straightforward and easy-to-understand way. Definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'd recommend it to others!

I found this just when i am preparing to start as a coach and helped me a lot with the final touches for my preparations. I get overall perspective and even opened my mind to some ideas that i didnt explored. I must say that i liked a lot Steven accent and his style so i will look other materials (i am not native in english but i did understood all of it). Thank you! For me was helpfull and i will listen again to enter deeper… I love the idea of SABOR! I know my own and that gave me confidence. GG, Romania❤️
