About this course
A business vision still needs customers, timely payments and reliable daily execution. This free mini-course organizes common operating difficulties into six factors for an owner or business-unit manager to examine.
Dimitris Thanassas, Ph.D draws on his entrepreneurship and marketing perspective. The recordings are a concise diagnostic discussion rather than a financial model, a turnaround service or a guarantee that a venture will survive.

Skills you’ll gain
- Recognize weak product demand as an operating warning
- Consider customer fit and the needs behind a sale
- Explain how late customer payments can strain cash flow
- Assess the pressure created by competitors
- Reflect on employee commitment and the founder’s own readiness
- Connect customer knowledge, hands-on management and persistence
The central six lessons consider insufficient demand, difficult customer relationships, payment defaults, competitor behavior, employee engagement and the entrepreneur’s suitability for the work. The payment discussion concerns ordinary business receivables and liquidity; it is not a trading strategy or a lesson in interest-based lending.
The closing lecture presents three qualities the instructor sees as essential: understanding customer needs and value, staying involved in core business processes, and persevering. The title’s dramatic language should be read as the instructor’s framing of risk, not as a tested formula predicting the outcome of every business.
The public course has eight lectures in three sections, totaling 32 minutes. It asks learners to be running a business, managing a unit or considering entrepreneurship, with beginner-level marketing understanding. A complete beginner can listen, but some concepts will be easier to assess against a real operating context.
For a practical review, write one observed warning and one information gap against each factor, then identify what you need to check with customers or colleagues. This is an optional reflection suggestion, not an asserted video exercise. A free spreadsheet is sufficient; avoid exposing employee or customer information in a shared document without authorization.
