What Could You Build With the Experience You Already Have?

About this event

A free, beginner-friendly online masterclass exploring business ideas, practical next steps and how AI can help. You've spent years developing skills, solving problems, helping others and learning from experience. But have you ever wondered whether some of that knowledge could become the foundation for something of your own? Perhaps you're considering a career change, approaching retirement, looking for an additional source of income, or simply curious about starting an online business. The difficult part is often knowing where to begin. What kind of business would suit you? Do you need technical skills? And where does AI fit into the picture? This free online masterclass with Julie Ann, co-founder of Build An AI Business, offers a practical starting point. What we'll explore During the session, Julie Ann will introduce: • Finding your business idea: Use the Four Question Idea Finder to explore opportunities based on your existing skills, interests and experience. • Moving beyond the initial idea: Understand why people often struggle to get started and how a structured approach can help. • The BUILD Method™: Explore a five-stage roadmap designed to take you from an initial idea towards launching a business. • Testing before investing: Learn why checking whether people actually want what you're considering is an important early step. • Where AI can help: See how AI tools can support research, planning, content creation and other business activities, even if you're not technically experienced. • Choosing your next step: Identify a practical action you can take after the session. Who is this session for? This masterclass may be particularly useful if you: • Have years of professional or personal experience but aren't sure how to turn that into a business idea. • Are exploring self-employment, a side business or a new direction. • Are approaching retirement and would like to remain active while exploring additional income possibilities. • Are curious about AI but don't know where to begin. • Already have a business idea but need a clearer way to evaluate it. No previous business or AI experience is required. Meet your host — Julie Ann Julie Ann is the co-founder of Build An AI Business. After a career in finance and operations within a demanding corporate environment, she chose to pursue a different professional direction. Together with co-founder Annmarie, she developed the BUILD Method™, a structured approach to helping people explore, develop and test online business ideas. Her approach focuses on practical guidance, manageable steps and making business development more accessible to beginners. What to expect This is a friendly, practical online masterclass with an opportunity to ask questions. You won't need to turn on your camera or microphone, and questions can be submitted privately through the chat. The session is designed to help you think through your own possibilities, rather than simply listen to another presentation about AI tools. There are no income guarantees or promises of overnight success. Starting a business takes research, effort and ongoing decisions. At the end of the masterclass, Julie Ann will also introduce the optional Idea to AI Income™ programme for those interested in further guidance and support. Ready to explore what's possible?
