Are you looking to start a business, but have no idea where to… start?Â
Â
Maybe you’ve got this brilliant idea that’s been sitting in the back of your mind for a long time…Â
Waiting to be launched and make you some money..
Or you have a bunch of ideas, but you’re not sure how to narrow down and pick the winner.
Maybe you have no idea what kind of business you’d start, but you know the world of entrepreneurship is calling out to you like a fog horn.
Free-dom... Free-dom.. Free-dom...
But let’s be real.Â
On top of your current job(s), all those mouths to feed and bills to pay, you hardly have time to sit down let alone start a business.
Yet that fog horn keeps calling…
… Free-dom…
“Maybe if someone laid it all out for me (say in a workbook, with easy-to-follow video courses that didn’t eat up all my time) then I could get started...”
Well dear reader, I’m here to tell you that the solution you’re looking for is at the click of a button, right at the bottom of this page.
BUT BEFORE YOU START SCROLLING INDEFINITELY...

Let me tell you real quick about how cheesesteak became the downfall of my business.
When I started (and utterly failed) my first brick and mortar business, I was:
- A single mom raising a son who just couldn’t stay healthy
- Still following orders as a Naval Reservist in the US Navy
- Learning to make delicious cheesesteak in an environment that was struggling with low traffic and outside construction.
Oh, and did I mention it was in the middle of a recession? *yikes*
Looking back, it seemed like this business was doomed from the start.
But it wasn’t the poor timing that made my business fail…
What made my cheesesteak restaurant fail, was me not wanting to own a restaurant in the first place.
If I didn’t want to own one… why the heck did I start it?
Because I knew I was ready to take a chance and gain the life I wanted as a business owner.
So I decided to take my first idea and run with it...
This, dear reader, was truly my downfall.
I hadn’t taken the time to plan it out, to think about my business ideas (in the biz world we call this ideation) and ultimately ask, is this business right for me?
To make sure that no other venture would meet their end the way my cheesesteaks met the trash can :(, I decided to create The Innopreneur Academy.
Yes, I failed my business and then became a Business Professor… proof of how I turned my failure into success.
Â
After choosing a business that I had no interest in, and clearly not doing enough research on it, I knew I had to do things differently.
I discovered a passion for learning the theories of businesses, of WHY they failed and what they were missing, all while continuing my entrepreneurship journey as both a small business consultant and owner of a boutique dessert service. (Oh yeah, did I mention the desserts?)

So I took all those missing pieces, or what I call the “soft skills” of business, and I compiled them into a self-paced, easy to absorb business course for entrepreneurs who wanted to:
- Avoid failure
- Create a sustainable venture
- See their idea grow into successÂ
Â
The Innopreneur Academy creates innovative entrepreneurs.
Â
It provides all the tools you need to stop dreaming and start planning, and can be referenced throughout your entire business journey.
Now, if I told you this course worked like magic, you might believe me.Â
But they’re all based on the Design Thinking Process, a proven method to help you create and ideate a business that lasts.
I want your business to withstand any recession, pandemic, or second-guessing so you’re feeling confident and ready to take the next steps.

“This is incredibly helpful work here that you’ve done with me Renee, I really appreciate this. This is very applicable to writing good content… but it also gives you a measuring stick. As you think about what it is you want to do next exactly, now you have something to measure it against. Is what I’m doing next accessible, inclusive, empathetic? Is it building a community of learners for no code? Are we doing it in a trust and respectful way?” - Jen K.
How The Academy Works
Â
Broken up into 7 Modules, each and every video is available as soon as you log in.Â
The full-color, digital workbook follows along with each lesson, offering tangible actions and thought-provoking questions so you can interact and get the full experience.
The Introduction, shows you the outline & objectives, and a little more about me.
We’ll answer the question, “What is the Design Thinking Process?” and use the following modules to dive deeper into each part of the process:
- Empathize with where you’re at on your journey so you can feel certain this entrepreneurship journey is for you.
- Prepare for the business ahead by defining your next stepsÂ
- Ideate your business thoroughly, leaving no corner unturned and no question unasked so nothing gets in the way of your success!
- Prototype your business - see how it will look and feel as a finished product.
- Test your business - see how it stands on its own and prove once and for all that you found the winning idea!
(Did I mention the modules are less than 10 minutes long? Easy to squeeze in after tucking the kids into bed or any other free minute in your busy schedule.)
When I tell you there’s no other course like this, I mean it (and cause I’ve googled it 159 times).
It’s so unique, I trademarked Innopreneur Academy as the first of its kind.
You’ll find Business Coaches who will teach you these things for +$3,000/month, or school courses that run for $500 + Tuition (so around $8k/semester)…
But I wanted this course to be accessible to ANYONE who was willing to take a chance on their idea.
So I’m selling it for $799.
And that’s not all, dear reader…
It’s graduation week here at Harvard, and I want to celebrate with you!
So if you sign up by June 10, you’ll receive a massive 72% off, and get the entire course for just $220!
