Introduction
Welcome to NEON’s Thinking About Business course! This course is ideal for those interested in going to business for the first time, have a great idea, invention or concept but are not quite sure how to critically think through the details of getting the business started.

Get started
The Thinking About Business workbook will guide you through the process of creating a business model. Begin by downloading and saving the NEON Idea to Business Model Worksheet and Thinking About Business Workbook (interactive PDFs) below.

Open the Idea to Business Model Worksheet and Thinking About Workbook online and complete each section as the lesson guides you.

Each lesson within the Thinking About Business course will prompt you to complete a section in your workbook before you're ready to meet with a NEON Business Advisor to discuss next steps in the business development process.

After completing all the pages in the Thinking About Business workbook, match the page icons with the corresponding sections of the Thinking About Business Idea to Business Model worksheet.

When the lesson is complete
When the Thinking About Business workbook and Idea to Business model worksheet are complete, email them to Tina Thomas ([email protected]) for review to meet with a NEON Business Advisor.
