I Want to Learn to Start

We live in a time when one idea can change the world but the truth is that people are not always being developed in a way that makes them capable of executing on their ideas. I Want to Learn to Start is the very beginning of bringing real change to people so that they can be developed into empowered human beings, capable of accomplishing amazing things.

Welcome to the beginning of your Learn to Start journey.

I Want to Learn to Start is the story of a curious Vietnamese child who wants to know how to start something important in the world. Set in a wine-producing mountain region of Vietnam, this is the story of Happy and Mr Bavi, two wonderful, precious characters who come together to speak into the real meaning and purpose that is at the heart and spirit of the Learn to Start model. It is through Happy's encounter with Mr Bavi, a local vineyard caretaker, that we are taken on this amazing journey of self-discovery.

This is a story for anyone, at any age, interested in understanding the four environments of the Learn to Start Model - Relationship, Failure, Mentorship, and Story. At The Startup Studio, we believe it is these four environments, merged with love and trust, that when properly built into a person's development, ensures they can become human beings capable of real empowerment in the world.
