The profession of businessman or entrepreneur in many people causes envious glances. Perhaps almost every second would like to become the head of a large company. Some dream of earning great money in order to be able to buy everything that the soul desires. Others want to raise their status. The third is to influence the development of society.
However, not everyone understands that the path to becoming a successful businessman is not as simple as it seems at first glance. People who prefer to indulge in sweet dreams, not taking any action to achieve their dreams, continue to only dream and fantasize, and initiative and active people do not stand still and achieve much.
Among them are Peter Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev, who not only became young businessmen, but also helped others realize their dream. Surely, almost every young businessman knows what BM is. "Business Youth" is the abbreviation. Peter and Michael are most directly related to this organization.
general information
"Business Youth" (BM) is the name of the company founded by Peter Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev in 2010. From the name it’s clear that it is aimed at young people who want to do business. Let us consider in more detail what BM is, what this organization sets for itself the tasks. The company's activities are aimed at helping young entrepreneurs to open their own business without any investment (other than investing time and effort). BM also helps businessmen to improve an existing and functioning business.
It is worth noting that the company's employees are engaged in training young entrepreneurs, however, BM does not refuse advice and recommendations to representatives of the older generation who want to start their own business.
To date, the question of what BM is almost does not arise in the business community, since this company has become very famous and popular. Its success is also evidenced by the numerous reviews of participants in trainings, seminars, and training courses.
As the practice and experience of many entrepreneurs participating in the trainings from "Business Youth" shows, the sales of many of them increased precisely after passing the training. It is important to note that it includes not only theory, but also practice, as well as the cooperation of interested parties after completing the courses.
It is noteworthy that the seminars of "Business Youth" from the very beginning gathered a large number of interested people who want to study. At the moment, the organization positions itself not only as an educational center, but also as a large-scale business community that unites young entrepreneurs.
Foundation History
The project "Business Youth" was founded after the meeting of Peter and Michael in one of the restaurants in Moscow. They were old friends and young entrepreneurs. On that memorable day, the guys told each other about their lives. They were surprised how many coincidences happened on their professional path, despite the fact that they implemented their business ideas in different ways. They also had different approaches to doing business. They both encountered psychological difficulties at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey, and financial ones.
People tried to “reason” them both around, tried to force them to do normal work and pull them out of “business fantasies”. Friends and family members scoffed at both of them, and the authorities did their best to prevent the possibility of development. Subsequently, both of them had financial difficulties and an actually hungry life, while they filled up bumps and learned from their mistakes.
At the time of the meeting, both of them had already become successful businessmen. It was after this conversation that Peter Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev decided to organize courses that could help such people as they were at the beginning of their career. Thus, they became the founders of Business Youth. It is noteworthy that at that time, none of the founders was even 24 years old.
Peter and Mikhail held their first seminar in June 2010. He immediately became successful and announced the high level of the young company. In the summer season, when people want to go on vacation, the founders gathered more than 350 thousand participants for their first seminar.
Currently, "Business Youth" has more than two hundred branches in many cities of the Russian Federation, near and far abroad. The number of employees in the staff of the general department totals 123 people. The number of community members is constantly growing. This figure has already exceeded one and a half million.
Geography BM
Business Youth courses are designed for a wide audience of young entrepreneurs for the reason that now the range of students covers several countries. Basically, company courses are attended by participants from Russia, because it is easier for them to get to the venue of the event. However, you can meet at the courses and guests from near and far abroad.
The founders of Business Youth often conduct successful seminars outside the Russian Federation. The first such seminar was held in the capital of Ukraine - Kiev, in 2012. He gathered about 5 thousand participants.
If we talk about offline and online events, then since 2012, Business Youth employees have noted a growing interest in them at the international level. Now the company has its branches and customers in the CIS countries (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan), the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), Europe (Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Germany, France), as well as in Canada, Vietnam, Thailand , in the Canary Islands and in many other states.
As you can see, what is BM, they know almost all over the world. Thousands of young entrepreneurs were able to competently and successfully implement their business ideas precisely thanks to the training materials of this company.
BM Products
No matter what arouses interest among those who wish to gain valuable knowledge in the business sphere, the ability to put the acquired knowledge into practice remains paramount. At the moment, about 24 thousand students are undergoing training at Business Youth. Those who correctly used the materials are now successful entrepreneurs.
In general, BM has a fairly extensive knowledge base, which includes:
- 574 articles in which it is about features of the beginning of realization of the business idea.
- 134 cases with successful stories of BM employees and their students.
- 83 audio courses.
- More than 2 thousand answers to students' questions.
- Many videos of seminars and courses, online broadcasts and other events.
Many seminars from Business Youth have already brought up a worthy generation of businessmen who are confidently developing their enterprises. Each separate seminar, like each separate course, covers one specific topic. Thanks to this, a thorough study of the topic takes place, time and attention are not wasted on various general topics.
Trainings of "Business Youth" also repeatedly proved their effectiveness. Mostly they are aimed at the practical application of acquired knowledge and development of skills through special exercises, business games and counseling.
The courses of "Business Youth" are very popular, which, as a rule, include several classes and are aimed at one narrow topic. Most courses are paid, conducted online, although free events are often organized.
Another interesting product was a book from "Business Youth" - "Start your own business." It describes in detail the problems that young entrepreneurs face at the beginning of the journey, but much more about how to avoid these difficulties.
Intensive "Business Start"
The project "Business Youth" has in its arsenal courses for completely inexperienced entrepreneurs, including those who are just planning to develop in this area. Special courses have been developed for already experienced businessmen who want to improve.
The founders of BM are convinced that learning is not a shame. Therefore, they developed a course for those who absolutely do not understand anything in the business sector, but want to figure it out. Such a course will allow them to quickly understand the essence of the matter (subject to a careful and responsible approach) and move on to more complex materials for study and practice. In addition, teaching materials for this intensive course include detailed instructions on how to get started and how to make a profit in the first week.
Intensive "Business Start" lasts two days and takes place both in Offlan and in online mode. The seminar is held in Moscow, and its broadcasts are in many countries in real time. The purpose of the intensive is not only to help understand the intricacies of the business, but also to immediately start the launch of your own enterprise.
That is what the activities of Business Youth are aimed at. "Start your own business" is a wonderful book that can be recommended to every young entrepreneur in addition to intensity. It can be a desktop tutorial.
To become a participant in the starting intensive, you need to leave a request in any convenient way of communication with "Business Youth" (e-mail, phone call). All contacts are indicated on the official website.
Coaching program "Workshop"
When the first stage of training (intensively “Business Start”) has been completed, the employees of “Business Youth” offer their students to go to the next stage - a coaching program called “Workshop”.
The word "coaching" itself is of English origin and literally means "accompaniment." As a rule, escort services are more psychological and consulting in nature, however, due to the possibility of constant communication with mentors, students can quickly sort out their mistakes and begin to confidently move along the business path.
Training in BM according to the "Workshop" coaching program lasts about two months. Classes are held in Moscow on weekends. Anyone who could not attend classes can view them in the recording.
This Business Youth program includes eight lessons, after each of which students are invited to complete their homework. At the end of the course, participants must pass certification, during which they demonstrate the level of assimilation of knowledge in theory and in practice. Based on the certification results, the founders and employees of Business Youth decide on the transfer of each individual student to the next stage of training, which is called the "Master Group".
Advanced program
The Master Group is no longer a course, but a community of entrepreneurs who, through the joint efforts and under the auspices of the teachers of Business Youth, are developing their business in practice. If the previous two steps included more theory, which led students to start applying it in practice in the form of opening their own company, then at the stage of participation in the master group students are already seriously engaged in their work.
In addition, seminars, webinars, advanced courses and master classes from Business Youth remain available to all categories of students at any level. If desired, you can develop constantly. It is worth noting that another important task of the master group is to bring the business to the stage of development when the owner receives not only active, but also passive income from his activities.
Learning approach
It is worth noting that the company "Business Youth" is positioning itself as a community of entrepreneurs. Therefore, one of the key points of her activity, she indicates communication between participants and the establishment of useful contacts. Particular attention is paid here to the level of each member of this community. If the participant does not demonstrate the necessary positive development in the process of obtaining knowledge, he is suspended from further training.
This technique works effectively, which was confirmed only two years after the founding of the project. On average, the result of training for almost every third student was the opening of their company. Over the years the BM has existed, very few students have been expelled. In total, more than 70 thousand people passed training.
However, an exception does not mean an absolute removal from further studies. If desired, the student can re-take the course from which he was expelled. With positive development dynamics during the second attempt, a person can move on to the next stage of training. In “Business Youth” there are not only the main programs, but also many additional courses and seminars that are available to everyone. Some training materials are also available in a free version.
Among the courses that exist at this moment, the following can be distinguished:
- "Real Direct."
- "Million for a hundred."
- "Billion for a million."
- "Real marketing."
- "Supervision".
- "Personal coaching."
- "Twist".
- "Club BM - the environment of people in their field."
This list is far from complete.
The founders of BM themselves say that their courses are not a magic pill, but just an impetus to changes in life and in their work. This means that without sufficient efforts from the student to achieve high results is impossible. Success is achieved precisely by those who are willing to work on themselves and develop.
Initially, a restriction on age was introduced for members of the Club of Business Youth: students were required to be adults, but not older than 29 years. Thus, the concept of "young entrepreneurship" was realized. After a while, the founders of BM came to the conclusion that youth is a state of mind and soul, and not physical age. Therefore, they completely removed the age limit. At the moment, everyone is allowed to take classes, even pensioners.
The founders continue to conduct their studies themselves, because they believe that each coach can only teach to achieve their own result. When asked by journalists about whether the Business-Youth project is profitable, Mikhail and Peter calmly answer what it brings, since it cannot be otherwise, because a project that teaches how to make a profit must be a priori profitable. Otherwise, students will have every right to doubt the qualifications of teachers.
All these events helped BM to become popular and in demand.
Feedback on "Business Youth" participants
Of course, over almost eight years of the organization’s existence, a lot of reviews and opinions about its activities have accumulated. As in any field, there are satisfied and dissatisfied. We will try to objectively consider the views of two parties.
Most reviews of "Business Youth" are unambiguously positive, which is confirmed in practice. A lot of current young businessmen began to do what they love because of training in BM.
The main task of even an elementary course (intensively “Business Start”) was to help students in starting their own business. This task was achieved in most cases at the stage of development of "BM". Currently, such indicators remain high. This is a fact of a positive impact on students and the fulfillment of their obligations to them.
The founders themselves are proud of the first successes of their students. For example, Aleksey Naniashvili, who graduated from the Faculty of Nuclear Physics, managed to correctly present his idea of modernizing equipment in plants and in a record time concluded a profitable contract for his services.
Despite the fact that many people who are associated with the business and entrepreneurship sphere do not have a question about what BM is, there are those who do not understand the essence of the company. It is these people who speak negatively about her activities. This is not about competitors or envious people, but about potential students who have decided that Business Youth courses are not suitable for them.
Some participants in offline seminars claim that they found the atmosphere too fabulous and pretentious. It was noted that many participants who are already members of the BM community spoke about the need to borrow money from their friends in order to pay membership fees and participation in educational programs. This indicates that the participants are far from successful businessmen, since they do not have the opportunity to invest in their own projects.
In reality, such situations can be the exception rather than the rule, since the founders of Business Youth monitor the development process of each student during training and its results in practice. , , . .
Some people are sure that the activities of Business Youth can be put on a par with the work of network cosmetics companies. Mostly supporters of this opinion not only did not attend any events from BM, but did not watch the broadcast remotely, but they called the Business Youth team a scam. Where did this comparison come from? Indeed, not a single course of "Business Youth" involves any network contacts or sales of seminars by students from BM.
There is a lot of controversy over the Directorate of Business Youth. In their training programs, company employees teach to increase sales by placing keys in indirect requests, for example, advertise ventilation sales on resources that are not related to it. Allegedly, this technique increases sales (a person who visits the site, for example, reads about cosmetics, clicks on the ventilation key, becomes interested in the material and eventually buys the product). However, many participants in seminars and courses criticize this technique, proving that it does not pay for itself.
Pyotr Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev are sure that such a belief has developed in the post-Soviet space. People in the days of the Soviet Union completely lost the entrepreneur’s streak, therefore their business strategies are associated with a complex system that will not bring profit due to its complexity. It is precisely such beliefs that are the main problem on the path to a successful life, as people are afraid to leave their comfort zone. The banal deception with "MMM" was only possible thanks to simple promises. They demanded money from people and promised to return it with interest. The instruction seemed simple: invest and wait, but people lost their money.
In the case of modern business, things are not so simple. Now it’s not enough just to invest financial resources and take a waiting position. To achieve something, you need to act. This seems overwhelming for people of the post-Soviet space who are used to not fulfilling promises even in simple algorithms.
However, it is important to understand that Business Youth does not make promises, but offers a quality education, the results of which depend entirely on the student himself. That is why, before starting training, it must be recognized that without work it is impossible to achieve your goal. Without the efforts to become a highly qualified specialist, it will not work.
conclusions
Business Youth is an educational organization that helps young entrepreneurs develop their business. The popularity and relevance of this company is due to the responsible and competent approach to its activities by its leaders and all employees.
Over the eight years of its existence, many educational products from Business Youth have been released. “Start your own business” is one of them. This is a very useful book that has gathered all the vast experience of the founders of BM and their most successful students. This publication can be used as an additional material for any courses and seminars of "Business Youth".
The list of courses, workshops and seminars is quite extensive. Each student has a lot to choose from.
