Starting smart is the best way to avoid wasting time, money, and costly mistakes that derail most new entrepreneurs.

Hi! I'm Erin Steinberger — Top 20 MBA, entrepreneur, and founder.
For over a decade, I’ve helped companies start and scale smarter, with systems that help you save time, money, and avoid stress.
Now I’m here to help you build your business the smart way, too. Let’s do this.

💭The Dream-Killer Keeping You Stuck? 

👋 I See You, Dreamer Entrepreneur.

You watch friends launch new businesses, chase freedom, and talk about purpose.
But you're still stuck — not because you lack motivation, but because you’re asking the right questions no one’s answering:

👉 What business is actually right for me?
👉 Can I even afford to start this the smart way?

You're not lazy. You’re smart.
And deep down, you know - the cost of picking the wrong business could be more than just money.

😞 The Painful Reality of Being Stuck

You scroll through social media, watching success stories that should inspire you, 
but instead, they just remind you of everything you’re not doing.

Your friends are launching businesses. They’re creating impact.
They’re building lives of freedom and purpose.

👉 And you? You’re still asking yourself:

“Where do I even start?”

“What if I pick the wrong idea?”

“What if I fail… and waste time or money?”

“Can I even afford to do this?”

You're not lazy.
You're not behind.
You're just missing a smart system that makes it all make sense.

The Truth

No One's Telling You

💡 The Truth No One’s Telling You

It's not that you lack talent. It's not that you're not smart enough. The real culprit holding you back is that you don't just want to just start, you want to start smart. And most people aren't selling that. 

You’ve been sold on sales and mindset, but no one talks about the real cost of doing business.  You know that starting a business isn’t free.  And it doesn’t feel smart to just jump without a plan does it?

🧠 You’re Asking the Right Questions — But Getting No Answers

Maybe you’ve taken online sales courses.
Maybe you’ve seen people in the chat asking:
👉 “What’s it going to cost me to pursue my idea?”

And what happens? Silence.
Because talking about business expenses doesn’t sell programs.
But here’s the truth:

It’s not that you were asking the wrong question.
It’s that they didn’t want to — or didn’t know how — to answer it.

They’re trained in sales, and many of them are damn good at it.
You probably felt the urge to buy…
but then something made you pause and think:

“Wait — how is this business actually going to work?”
“Can I even afford this?”

Maybe you were told to follow your heart and forget logic.
Maybe you heard: “Sales cures all.”

Well, of course a sales coach is going to say that! But your logic kicked in — and it’s right.

The problem is, sales is only half of the equation.     

💵 The Real Equation Most Programs Ignore

There’s a basic formula:

👉 Sales – Expenses = Net Income

Sure, sales is the top of the equation.
But expenses are the part no one’s talking about.

Net income — not sales — is what you actually keep (before taxes and some other things).
That’s what fuels your freedom, your future, and your decisions.

And if you’ve been sold on just sales?
You’ve been sold half the equation.

 

😨 The Terrifying Cost of Doing Nothing

If you keep hesitating — overthinking, second-guessing, and waiting for the “perfect time” — here’s what’s really at stake:

👉 In 6 months, you’ll still be stuck in the same job, watching others build the business you keep dreaming about.

👉 In 12 months, your list of “what ifs” will grow longer — and so will the self-doubt.

👉 In 5 years, you may look back with regret, wondering why you didn’t take that first step when you had the chance.

 

💡 But Here's the Good News

It doesn’t have to be your story.

You don’t need to rush.
You don’t need to be perfect.

You just need a smart plan, a little structure, and the right support to move forward with clarity and confidence.

🎉 Your Journey Isn’t Over — It’s Just Waiting for You to Start Smart

Your entrepreneurial dream isn’t dead.
It’s just waiting for you to take the first smart step.
And I’m here to show you exactly how to do that.
➡️ What if the only thing standing between you and your business breakthrough…
wasn’t more hustle or hype — but a simple, step-by-step system to turn your idea into a smart, structured plan?

This is for you if...

💡 You’ve got ideas — a notes app full of them.
Late-night brainstorms. Pinterest boards. Half-named brands.
But no clear path forward.

⏯️ You’ve got “how to start a business” courses collecting dust.
They’re bookmarked, half-watched, on replay…
But still — no launch, no earnings, no clarity.

You’re not lazy. You’re just stuck and tired.

✔️ Stuck because you’re scared to waste time and money

✔️Tired of wondering which idea is “the one”

✔️Stuck with too many ideas, but no real plan

✔️Tired of vague “just launch it!” advice

✔️Stuck because you don’t want to make a mistake — so you make no move at all


💥 Let’s change that.

Start smart — with structure, strategy, and a system that actually makes sense.

Are You Ready?

I see you — dreaming about possibility.
About income.
Freedom.
Purpose.
A life on your terms.

Dreaming is powerful.
But dreams alone won’t build the business 
starting smart will.

👉 Start Smart Entrepreneur helps you turn your dream into a structured path forward — so you can stop overthinking and start building with clarity and confidence.

Start Smart Entrepreneur is the shortcut you need to go from confused and spinning your wheels to clarity and action. 

➡️You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start.

🚫This course isn't for you if you're:

Looking for a sales system. Everyone’s selling you a sales system. In fact inside of the course I will tell you about some of the creators I've used to implement new sales systems. No...this course isn't about a sales system, because
👉 Sales alone don’t make a business.

If I make a $500 sale that costs me $600 to fulfill…That's not a business. That's a $100 loss.

Recently, I watched a creator tell a successful entrepreneur:

"I just need more sales."

The entrepreneur replied: 

"What are your expenses? What’s your net income?" 

When the creator admitted their expenses were too high, the entrepreneur said: 

"Then you don’t have a business. You have a sales system."

✅ What Makes This Different?

Inside Start Smart Entrepreneur, you’ll learn how to:

✅ Research and test business ideas before wasting time or money

✅ Build a 12-month cash flow plan based on sales and expenses

✅ Select a business name and brand that you can use

✅ Research and budget for startup costs 

✅ Separate business and personal income the smart way

✅ Choose a system to track your money from day one

 Because starting smart means seeing the full picture and sales are only half the story.

I’m not guaranteeing results—because results come from you taking action and pursuing your plan.
But I’ll give you the structure, tools, and clarity to make smarter decisions from day one.

⏳ Here's Why You Can’t Afford to Wait Any Longer

I’ve seen it happen time and time again...
Dreamers taking course after course, chasing clarity — but ending up stuck, spinning their wheels.

You want to start a business.
But you don’t know where to begin, or which idea is actually right for you.

👉 You’re not alone — and you’re not the first person to stand at the edge of entrepreneurship without a plan.

But here’s the truth:
Entrepreneurship isn’t a guessing game.
It’s a journey — and every journey starts the same way:
With you.

We begin by getting clear on your passion, purpose, and strengths —
then we combine that with research to uncover a smart, aligned market opportunity.

This isn’t just theory.

A side hustle for extra income?

A creative brand around your art or talent?

No matter your path, we start with YOU.

We’ll map your goals, lifestyle, and identity to a business idea that actually fits.
Because real businesses serve others, but they also need to support the life you want.
