Becoming a Willing Student® Entrepreneur Program.
Are you a smart, passionate and compassionate young 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 being a young entrepreneur?
Are you tired of learning everything about entrepreneurship or business without getting results?
Or maybe you feel stuck with your business, overwhelmed, and are not sure how to move forward?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the Becoming a Willing Student® Entrepreneur Program is for you.
My name is Tawanda Chirenda. I used to think passion was enough to grow your business, go through life as a young 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.
Becoming a Willing Student Entrepreneur Program is for smart, passionate and compassionate young 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 business and in your life than you’ve ever been before, join me.
I created the Becoming a Willing Student entrepreneur program to empower visionary, smart and caring young 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.
Becoming a Willing Student is not for everyone. But is perfect for young entrepreneurs ready to become willing students and try something different. Becoming a Willing Student entrepreneur 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.
We’ll help you create genuine shared value for yourself and your customers by facilitating practical and immediately useful business growth opportunities. We approach our work with a long-term perspective and a humbler focus on co-creating true value including:

Becoming a Willing Student offers a unique approach to growing your business. If you believe in being authentic, engaging others, being intentional, and being deliberate in how you live and work, we would like you to join us. We believe in having a mission that’s rooted in something bigger than any one person.
We believe in becoming who you want to be as a young entrepreneur. This starts with making decisions with a long-term perspective. We believe in being humble and in creating true value for others. Your true value as a young entrepreneur is in more than what you do and what you want. It’s in who you are being and what’s driving you.
This is more than just checking off a business to do lists, getting ahead, building a team, networking, or developing an elevator pitch. We believe in establishing trust, breathing authenticity, and providing your customers with true value.
Becoming a Willing Student is about helping you unlock incredible personal and business growth opportunities in your life as a young entrepreneur. It’s about elevating you from the slush pile of competitors. It’s about prospering as a young entrepreneur. It’s about expanding the quality of your presence and influence in business, with your customers, and in your industry. It’s about knowing your value and increasing that value in how you think, speak and act.

If you are feeling any of these things, you are not alone. I have felt many of these things before and many young entrepreneurs around the world are feeling that too. If you answered yes to any of the above statements, I invite you to join me in the Becoming a Willing Student Entrepreneur Program. I’m on a mission. I’m building a next generation, authentic entrepreneurship movement of smart, caring and visionary young entrepreneurs with the courage to tackle the world’s biggest challenges.

The Commitment
Becoming a Willing Student is an immersive, high impact program designed to take you to the next level of your business. 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 goals, and your best business growth opportunities. Throughout this period, we'll work closely with you, and become an extension of your business growth team. Our program is offered via a flat monthly fee.
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 expand your 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 grow 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 growing your business. We will teach you how to remain calm and confident in the face of change and uncertainty.
Ready to Get Started?
We’re building a movement and training a coalition of young entrepreneurs with the courage to tackle the world’s biggest challenges.
With the Becoming a Willing Student Entrepreneur Program, I’ve been helping young entrepreneurs like you to grow their businesses the right way. I used to think I can go it alone and I do sometimes. I am not always at my best when the environment around me feels a little too noisy and crowded. However, I have discovered the value of surrounding myself with a great team to help me expand the value I offer to this world. My team has challenged me as never before. Having a team has given me an edge. I want to do the same for you. I want to be on your team and help you grow your business and become who you want to be.
In this program, I share more about my story of struggling with entrepreneur anxiety as a young entrepreneur and my unique business growth approach that helped me overcome my anxiety and will benefit young entrepreneurs who want to unlock the next-level of business and personal growth.
You’ll break out from the pack and flourish as a young entrepreneur, and strengthen your own place and unique position as a thought leader. You need to impact you before you can impact anyone else. There is no empowering anyone unless you empower you first. There is no changing anyone unless you change yourself first.
I created Becoming a Willing Student Entrepreneur Program because I believe in growing the business you love and becoming who you want to be. I believe becoming who you want to be is more than just noise and crowds. It’s about chasing you and no one else. It’s about creating your own marketplace, competition and opportunities.
I’ll help you develop a personal growth and authentic leadership mindset. My process doesn’t just stop at you and what you want for you. I want you to make an impact with your life. I want you to give hope to others. You’ll learn how to use your voice to inspire others and to help them create their best life.
