The profession of a businessman or entrepreneur causes many people envious glances. Perhaps, almost every second person would like to become the head of a large company. Some dream of making excellent 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, without taking any action to achieve their dreams, continue to dream and fantasize, while those who are enterprising and active do not stand still and achieve a lot.

Among them are Petr Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev, who not only became young businessmen, but also helped others realize their dreams. Surely, almost every young entrepreneur knows what BM is. "Business Youth" - this is how the abbreviation stands for. Peter and Michael are directly related to this organization.

General information

"Business Youth" (BM) is the name of the company founded by Petr Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev in 2010. From the name it is clear that it is aimed at young people who want to do business. Let us consider in more detail what BM is, what tasks this organization sets for itself. The company's activities are aimed at helping young entrepreneurs to start their own business without any investment (other than investing time and effort). BM also helps businessmen improve their 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.

Today, the question of what BM is, almost does not arise in the business community, since this company has become very famous and popular. Numerous reviews of participants in trainings, seminars, and training courses testify to its success.

As the practice and experience of many entrepreneurs participating in trainings from "Business Youth" show, sales of many of them increased after the training. It is important to note that it includes not only theory, but also practice, as well as cooperation of interested parties after the completion of the courses.

It is noteworthy that the "Business Youth" seminars from the very beginning gathered a large number of interested, willing to learn people. At the moment the organizationpositions itself not only as an educational center, but also as a large-scale business community that brings together young entrepreneurs.

Founding History

The "Business Youth" project was founded after the meeting of Peter and Mikhail 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 along their professional path, despite the fact that they implemented their business ideas in different ways. They also had different approaches to doing business. Both of them faced both psychological difficulties at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey and financial ones.

They tried to "reason" the others around them, tried to force them to do their usual work and pull them out of "business fantasies". Friends and family members mocked both of them, and the authorities tried their best to prevent development. Subsequently, they both had financial difficulties and a virtually starving life while they bumped up 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 Petr Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev decided to organize courses that could help such people as they were at the beginning of their careers. Thus, they became the founders of "Business Youth". It is noteworthy that at that time none of the founders was even 24 years old.

OwnThe first workshop was held by Peter and Mikhail in June 2010. He immediately became successful and declared the high level of the young company. During the summer season, when people tend to go on vacation, the founders gathered more than 350,000 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 is 123 people. The number of community members is constantly growing. This figure has already exceeded one and a half million.

BM Geography

Business Youth courses are designed for a wide audience of young entrepreneurs, for the reason that now the spectrum of students covers several countries. Basically, the company's courses are attended by participants from Russia, because it is easier for them to get to the venue of the event. However, you can also meet guests from near and far abroad on the courses.

The founders of "Business Molodist" often hold successful seminars outside the Russian Federation. The first such seminar was held in the capital of Ukraine - Kyiv, in 2012. It brought together about 5 thousand participants.

If we talk about offline and online events, since 2012 the employees of "Business Molodist" have noted an increase in interest in them at the international level. Now the company has its branches and clients in the CIS countries (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan), the B altic States (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), Europe (Czech Republic, Spain, Italy,Germany, France), as well as in Canada, Vietnam, Thailand, the Canary Islands and many other countries.

As you can see, what BM is, they know almost all over the world. Thousands of young entrepreneurs were able to competently and successfully implement their business ideas thanks to the training materials of this company.

BM products

Whatever arouses interest among those who want to gain valuable knowledge in the field of business, the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in practice remains paramount. At the moment, about 24,000 students study at Business Youth every year. Those who have used materials wisely are already successful entrepreneurs.

In general, BM has a fairly extensive knowledge base, which includes:

• 574 articles that talk about the peculiarities of starting to implement your business idea.
• 134 cases with successful stories of BM employees and their pupils.
• 83 audio course.
• More than 2,000 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 develop their enterprises with confidence. Each individual seminar, like each individual course, covers one narrow topic. Thanks to this, a thorough study of the topic occurs, time and attention are not wasted on various general topics.

Trainings "Business-Youth" has also repeatedly confirmed its effectiveness. Mostly they are aimed at the practical application of the knowledge gained and the development of skills through special exercises, business games and counseling.

Business Youth courses are very popular, as they usually include several classes and focus on one narrow topic. Most courses are paid online, although free events are often organized.

Another interesting product was the book from "Business Youth" - "Start your own business". It goes into great detail about the challenges young entrepreneurs face at the start of their journey, but goes much deeper into how to avoid those challenges.

Intensive "Business start"

The "Business Youth" project 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 have developed a course for those who understand absolutely nothing about business, but want to understand. Such a course will allow them to quickly understand the essence of the matter (provided that they are attentive and responsible approach) and move on to more complex materials for study and practice. In addition, the methodological materials for this intensive include detailed instructions on how to get started and how to make a profit already in the firstweek.

The "Business start" intensive lasts two days and takes place both offline and online. The seminar is held in Moscow, and it is broadcast in many countries in real time. The purpose of the intensive is not only to help you understand the intricacies of the business, but also to immediately start launching your own enterprise.

This is exactly what "Business Youth" is aimed at. "Start Your Own Business" is a great book to recommend to every young entrepreneur in addition to the intensive. It can become a desktop teaching aid.

To become a member of the starting intensive, you need to leave a request in any convenient way to contact "Business Youth" (e-mail, phone call). All contacts are listed on the official website.

Coaching program "Workshop"

When the first stage of training (intensive "Business Start") is completed, the employees of "Business Youth" offer their students to go to the next stage - a coaching program called "Workshop".

The very word "coaching" is of English origin and literally means "accompanying". As a rule, support services are more of a psychological and consulting nature, however, thanks to the possibility of constant communication with mentors, students can quickly sort out their mistakes and begin to move confidently along the business path.

Training in BM under the coaching program "Workshop" lasts abouttwo months. Classes are held in Moscow on weekends. Anyone who could not attend the classes can view them in the recording.

This "Business Youth" program includes eight lessons, after each of which students are asked to complete their homework. At the end of the course, participants must pass an assessment, during which they demonstrate the level of assimilation of knowledge in theory and practice. Based on the results of the certification, the founders and employees of "Business Molodist" decide to transfer each individual student to the next stage of education, which is called the "Master Group".

Deep Program

"Master Group" is no longer a course, but a community of entrepreneurs who, through joint efforts and under the auspices of the "Business Youth" teachers, are developing their business in practice. If the previous two stages included more theory, which led students to start putting it into 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 of any level. If you wish, you can constantly develop. 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 hisactivities.

Teaching Approach

It is worth noting that the company "Business Molodist" positions itself as a community of entrepreneurs. Therefore, one of the key points of her activity, she points to communication between participants and the establishment of useful contacts. Here, special attention is paid to the level of each member of this community. If the participant does not demonstrate the necessary positive development in the process of acquiring knowledge, he is suspended from further training.

This methodology works effectively, which was confirmed only two years after the project was founded. On average, almost every third student ended up opening their own company. During the years of BM's existence, very few students were expelled. In total, more than 70 thousand people have been trained.

However, exclusion does not mean absolute suspension from further studies. If desired, the student can retake the course from which he was expelled. With positive dynamics of development during the second attempt, a person can move on to the next stage of training. In "Business Youth" there are not only basic programs, but also many additional courses and seminars that are available to everyone. Some of the learning materials are also available for free.

Among the courses that currently exist, the following can be distinguished:

• "Real Direct".
• "A million for a hundred".
• "A billion formillion".
• "Real Marketing".
• "Curating".
• "Personal coaching".
• "Twist".
• "The BM Club is an environment of people in their field".

This list is far from complete.

The founders of BM themselves claim that their courses are not a magic pill, but just an impetus for changes in life and in their work. This means that without sufficient effort on the part of the student, it is impossible to achieve high results. Success is achieved by those who are ready to work on themselves and develop.

Initially, members of the "Business Youth" club had an age restriction: students had to be adults, but not older than 29 years old. 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. So they completely removed the age limit. At the moment, everyone is allowed to take classes, even pensioners.

The founders continue to conduct their own classes, because they believe that each coach can only teach how to achieve their own result. When asked by journalists about whether the Business Youth project brings profit, Mikhail and Peter calmly answer that it does, because it cannot be otherwise, because a project that teaches how to make a profit must be profitable a priori. Otherwise, students will have every right to doubt the qualifications of teachers.

All these events helped BMbecome popular and in demand.

Reviews about the "Business Youth" participants

Of course, over the 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 the two sides.

Most of the reviews about "Business Youth" are unambiguously positive, which is confirmed in practice. A lot of today's young businessmen started doing what they love thanks to studying at BM.

The main task of even the initial course (intensive "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". At present, these figures remain high. This is a fact of positively influencing students and fulfilling our 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, was able to correctly present his idea for upgrading equipment at factories and signed a lucrative contract for his services in record time.

Despite the fact that many people who are associated with the field of business and entrepreneurship 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 decided that the Business Youth courses were not suitable for them.

Some participants of offline seminars say 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 acquaintances in order to pay membership fees and participate in educational programs. This indicates that the participants are far from successful businessmen, since they do not have the opportunity to invest even in their own projects.

In fact, such situations may be the exception rather than the rule, since the founders of "Business Youth" monitor the development of each student during training and its results in practice. If a person has not achieved the expected results in business, he either undergoes training at the initial stages, or attends only educational courses and seminars as a student. There are no losers among the members of the BM club.

Some people are sure that the activities of "Business Youth" can be put on a par with the work of network companies selling cosmetics. Mostly supporters of this opinion not only did not attend a single event from BM, but also did not watch broadcasts remotely, but they call the Business Youth team scammers. Where did such a comparison come from? After all, not a single Business Youth course involves any network contacts or sales of BM seminars by students.

A lot of controversy about the directive "Business Youth". In their training programs, company employees are taught to increase sales byplacement of keys in indirect queries, for example, advertisements for the sale of ventilation should be placed on resources that are not related to it. Allegedly, this technique increases sales (a person who visits the site, for example, to read about cosmetics, clicks on the key about ventilation, becomes interested in the material and eventually buys the product). However, many participants in seminars and courses criticize this technique, arguing that it does not pay off.

Pyotr Osipov and Mikhail Dashkiev are sure that such a belief has developed in the post-Soviet space. During the Soviet era, the entrepreneurial vein completely died out among people, so they associate business strategies with a complex system that will not bring profit due to its complexity. It is these beliefs that are the main problem on the way to a successful life, as people are afraid to leave their comfort zone. The banal deception with "MMM" succeeded only 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 is not enough just to invest financial resources and take a wait-and-see attitude. To achieve something, you need to act. This seems too much for the people of the post-Soviet space, who are used to not keeping 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 entirely depend on the student himself. That is why beforeAt the beginning of training, one must recognize that without effort it is impossible to achieve one's goal. Without effort, becoming a highly qualified specialist will not work.

Conclusions

Business Youth is an educational organization that helps young entrepreneurs grow their businesses. The popularity and relevance of this company is due to the responsible and competent approach to their activities of its leaders and all employees.

In its eight years of 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 collected all the vast experience of the BM founders and their most successful students. This publication can be used as supplementary material for any Business Youth courses and seminars.

The list of courses, master classes and seminars is quite extensive. There is something for every student to choose from.
