Many people have great business ideas, but only a few manage to turn those ideas into thriving enterprises. This session focuses on bridging the gap between inspiration and execution, offering a clear roadmap for transforming vision into a working business model — especially within offline, in-person operations.

We’ll start by breaking down the creative process, discussing how to validate an idea in the real world, identify a market, and craft a business plan that’s both flexible and grounded in reality. The session emphasizes the importance of prototyping, market testing, and receiving direct customer feedback, which is more immediate and tangible in offline settings.

Next, we’ll explore what it takes to move from planning to action: securing funding, building a team, launching a physical location or service, and managing logistics. You’ll gain insights on dealing with the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship and how to stay focused when real-world challenges threaten to derail your dream.

By the end of this session, participants will have a toolkit for moving confidently from “I have an idea” to “I run a successful offline business.”
