You’ve heard the story time and time again. An intelligent, young entrepreneur working from a garage or a small studio apartment notices a need in the market and creates a business to meet it. That business takes off and grows into a tech empire. Oftentimes, these entrepreneurs are entirely self-made and have had no formal training.
You might have the idea, the drive, and the gumption, but you don’t know where to begin. Of course, there are myriad of benefits for post-secondary business education. However, the fact of the matter is that not everyone has the time or means to attend such institutions. You still need to hear from industry experts, to learn from their journeys, successes, and failures.
Luckily, sites such as Udemy have made learning from renowned leaders accessible to everyone. Here are 4 Udemy courses you need to help get your business started.

The Complete WordPress Website Business Course
One of the biggest ways the internet has disrupted business is by removing the need for a brick-and-mortar store to sell your product or service.

Your website needs to be your best salesperson and that means paying close attention to the user interface and graphics, but you also need the technical know-how to build it.
