DESCRIPTION:Thursdays: October 19th – November 16th\, 2017 from 6pm – 9pm \n**Please note this class is held at our downtown Asheville office.** \nThe Alpine course helps you get up and out of your day-to-day operations and regain an aerial perspective of where you have been\, where you are now\, and where your business is headed.   \n \n\nIf you are finding yourself at a crossroads with your business\, possibly experiencing a sense of burn-out or overwhelm\, or simply would like the chance to critically reflect with a peer group on how things are going\, our Alpine course is designed for you. The course begins with a look at the heart of the venture and the primary value of your products or services. Participants then comprehensively assess their financial picture and marketing efforts to date and start setting course towards their newly defined or refined future vision.\n \nThis course also revisits some of the core concepts of our popular Foundations course while also assisting entrepreneurs in determining whether our Scale Up program may be a good fit for them in the future.  \n\nThe peer-to-peer learning environment coupled with one-on-one coaching support will give you the confidence to make the next steps towards growing and generating results for your business.  The class addresses challenges and opportunities directly related to your venture.  Alpine also provides you with the tools to determine if and when to scale your business model and can serve as an excellent precursor to our ScaleUp WNC program. \nSign up today or contact us with additional questions! \n\nWeek 1: The focus this week is on regaining perspective of your venture today\, your mission and vision\, and what your goals are for this course and for the future.
