Een stap-voor-stap handleiding om het spel te spelen
1
Each player runs through a full business cycle of nine steps. The goal: develop your own business or project idea and boost your entrepreneurial skills!
2
Step 1: Business Idea – Think like a real entrepreneur and decide on a challenge to solve, a need to meet, or a gap to fill. This could be in your youth work practice, your community, or even within your organisation. Decide on a product or service you’ll offer that achieves a solution to the challenge, need or gap you have identified. Also think about the location you would like to start your business, the customers you want to reach and your business identity (logo, slogan). What could be potential pros and cons about your business idea?
3
Step 2: Start Money – reflect on your funding source (family, bank, savings, friends, or someone/something else). How will you convince them to support you? What steps would you then undertake to actually receive the money?
4
Step 3: Get Ready – What will be necessary items you should buy to get started? What will be one-time and recurring costs? List them.
5
Before moving to the survival phase, try defining the final price of your product.
6
Step 4: Good or Bad Luck – unexpected events happen in every business. Reflect on potential risks and positive things and how you will protect yourself.
7
Step 5: Invest – make a smart move to strengthen your business. Think of cooperations (handshake), globalization (world globe), communication (megaphone), tools/skills (wrench), technology (smartphone) or digital tools (USB stick).
8
Step 6: Profit & Loss – Reflect on how your investments can make you stand out, make you unique. What other factors contribute to this (e.g. decoration, cleanliness, friendliness, ...)?
9
Step 7: Market Demand – To reach a bigger audience, they need to be aware of your existence. How will you reach out to them?
10
Step 8: Business Evaluation – reflect together: What went well? What was hard? What did you learn about yourself? This is called a SWOT analysis.
11
Step 9: Future – imagine your next steps. Where will your business be in 3 weeks, 3 months, and 3 years? Make SMART decisions here (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound).

- Teamwork to make a detailed list of all the items or services you need and put a price on your product/service.
- Take turns acting out one of these random events. Then discuss how would this impact your business? What would you do? Possible scenarios: A thief steals your goods, A customer leaves a bad review, A surprise inspector shows up, Your supplies are delayed, Inflation increases your costs, A famous influencer mentions your brand, Your business wins an award, A competitor opens right next to you,…
- Build your business repair kit! Create a poster, drawing, or collage (paper or digital) that shows: The problem you faced, The investment or solution you chose, How it helps your business grow or recover. Then share with the group: Why did you choose this investment? What difference do you think it will make
- Draw or sketch your unique business idea! Include the elements that make it special.
- You want to grow your client base — now show us how you’d promote your business in public! Create a 1-minute street promo. Think about what message you want to get across? How do you make people stop, smile, and come try your product/service?

- Record a message on your phone or write a note to your future self as an entrepreneur. It could be just a voice memo, or a rap or poem. You choose. Start with: “Hey future me...” or
