Becoming a Willing Student® Entrepreneur Program.

Are you a smart, passionate and compassionate entrepreneur?

Do you wish you could grow your business like a pro, even though you may not feel like you have what it takes?

Are you afraid that you'll fail or you won't know how to navigate the awkward parts of entrepreneurship?

Are you tired of learning everything about business or entrepreneurship without getting results?

Or maybe you feel stuck in your business, overwhelmed, and are not sure how to move forward?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, I hear you. I would love to help. My name is Tawanda Chirenda. I used to think passion was enough to build a great business, go through life as an entrepreneur, and succeed with your customers. I was wrong, very wrong. I discovered the hard way that you need strategy. I discovered you need to learn how to lead yourself first before you can lead anyone else.

I am now a Willing Student and I am on a mission to teach others what I have learned and what I am still learning. I want to be your coach first and then show you how to become your own best coach and make the impact you want to have with your business and your life.

The Becoming a Willing Student® Entrepreneur Program is for smart, passionate and compassionate entrepreneurs who want more in life and from their businesses. I am on a mission to change the way you build your business. If you want to feel more purposeful, effective, and passionate in your business and in your life than you’ve ever been before, join me.

I created this program to empower visionary, smart and caring entrepreneurs like you with the authentic entrepreneurial tools and mindset you need to become who you want to be. I am on a mission because I know what’s at stake. I want to help you discover, develop and master your authentic voice so you can build, lead and inspire your best customers.

This program is not for everyone. But is perfect for entrepreneurs ready to become willing students and try something different. This program has been designed to give you an engaging experience that fast-tracks the achievement of your business goals while elevating your impact and influence in the global marketplace.

The Commitment

Our minimum commitment period is three months. In the real world it is extremely rare to achieve breakthrough results with a single test. That’s why you will get the best results from an iterative (rinse, repeat) process where we continually learn about you, your business, and your best customers and opportunities. Throughout this period, we'll work closely with you, and become an extension of your business growth team. Our services are provided via a flat monthly fee. Once the initial 3 months are over, we’ll continue month to month until the law of diminishing returns kicks in.

We Don’t Sell Time, We Sell Value

At our core, we’re thinkers. Our greatest value to you is our ability to think. Unlike most business coaching programs, we don’t want to divert attention away from that which matters most – thought and more importantly the value of thoughts – and not the amount of time it takes to execute those thoughts.

We don’t need to concentrate on this phase right now. The main focus is on finding out what should be done in the first place to grow your business and boost your income, influence and impact.

At Becoming a Willing Student, you’ll become who you want to be. You’ll have an edge. You’ll become more effective, strong, strategic, and creative in how you build your business. It’s not about clamouring for attention. It’s about elevating yourself above the competition. It’s about expansion, quality, presence, and influence.

We will help you live larger and bolder no matter how less experienced you feel about pursuing your goals. We will help you offer more than just your products or services to your customers. We will help you use your passion to offer hope to those who need it the most.

We want to help you feel secure in building your business. We will teach you how to remain calm and confident in the face of change and uncertainty.
