Why you should start today
From problems to solutions:
The Ecopreneur Self-Paced Course
Problem
You care deeply about nature, you have an idea to help it, yet you’re drowning in all these questions:
- Is this the right idea? Or what about the other 2?
- What should I prioritize?
- What should be my next steps?
- How do I grab people’s attention?
- How do I convince them to donate or buy my product, service, or support my NGO?
- How can I juggle all this next to my other responsibilities (family, full-time job, friends)?
- How can I create something that will allow me in the near future to quit my job? (If I want to)
- How can I increase the chances that I can actually live from it?
Maybe you’ve looked at structured programs, but the timing doesn’t work, the budget is tight, or you just prefer figuring things out at your own speed.
Either way, you need a clear path. And you need it now.
Solution
This self-paced course helps you swim through all these questions and go from idea to reality, by:
- Getting clarity on which idea to pursue (and which ones to drop fast)
- Working directly on your nature venture every single module, not just watching videos
- Building a nature-positive business model that makes sense on paper and in the real world
- Creating an offer that gets people excited enough to say yes
- Finding the right marketing channel to grab attention for your project
- Turning that attention into money so you can scale your impact
- Using the Ecopreneur OS loaded with systems, blueprints, and prompts so you execute faster, not just learn faster
You’re not in a group. You’re not on a schedule. You open the course when you have time, work through the material at your speed, and build as you go. And if you get stuck, 1,200+ ecopreneurs in the community have your back.

I roll up my sleeves for your dream
Hey, I’m Oliver 👋
I built the Ecopreneur Beginner Bootcamp because I kept meeting people with wild ideas for nature who couldn’t figure out where to start.
But I also noticed something else. Some people weren’t ready for 8 weeks of structured work. Some couldn’t afford the bootcamp price. Some were in a different timezone where the group calls didn’t work. And some just wanted to figure things out on their own first.
So we took everything from the bootcamp, all the video lessons, the Ecopreneur OS, the bonus modules, and made it available as a self-paced course for a fraction of the price.
You won’t get the live feedback or the group. That’s the trade-off. But you’ll get the same material, the same tools, and the same path from idea to your first paying supporters.
If you’re the type of person who reads a book, highlights the good parts, and then actually does the thing, this course was made for you.
Let’s grow your wild project into a real movement.
Oli
In the beginning I frequently got decision paralysis. So I read a lot about making faster & better decisions. Here the tips that served me well.
Not sure? 3 Hacks to help you decide
Calculate your ROI
To keep things lean always reflect if you think what you purchase will have a good return on investment ROI. In this course, you can do 2 calculations.
Paying Supporters
How much of your product/donations etc. do you need to get (If you already have a price idea) to get “back” your money. What you sell x Quantity = Revenue E.g. 100€ x 2 = 200€ In this example you would need to get >2 customers to already get a positive return of investment.
Time Saved
At the same time you not only will gain potential income, but you will save a lot of money & time. Because you want have to do all this research & mistakes that we did for you. Because your time never really comes for free. Your hourly salary x hours of research = Cost saved E.g. 20€ x 10h = 200€ So in this example just 10h of research would cost you 200€.
Based on what you see here and what we offer you can then better calculate if you think the ROI is good.
Doors of return
Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon, came up with a great concept to make faster decisions (don’t have to like him, but the concept is good). He says in life we always have 2 types of decisions, similar to 2 doors.
1️⃣ No return decisions/doors.
After you walk through the door, there is no turning back. Once you made the decision, you can’t undo it. For example, you tell your Boss you quit your job. Only a fraction of decisions are those.
2️⃣ Decisions/doors you can always walk back from.
Don’t like what you see on the other side? Lesson learned. Just walk back. Pretty much 95% decisions are those. Don’t like the colors of the new wall? Just repaint. Might will cost you something, but these are not decisions that should occupy you for hours/days/weeks.
In our case, we provide you with the best door we came up with. If you don’t like it after 2 weeks you get your money back. No question asked.
Find the decision maker
Lastly, I realized sometimes I was not actually the person who was in power to make the decision. It was actually my boss, my wife, my mum & co. Have a quick reflection if you are fully decision maker here or if its someone else. Why take this burden if its not you to begin with?
In case you don’t call the shots. We got you.
Here a message template.
Why I want to buy the Ecopreneur Beginner Course and why it matters to me (and us).
Hey love,
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I want to use my time, energy, skills and how I can contribute to something that actually makes the world a little better and a lot wilder.
There’s this course. It’s designed for people like me: those who care deeply about nature, have a wild idea, but aren’t sure how to get it off the ground. Or where to even start.
I know we’ve got a lot going on. Life is full. But this isn’t just another course. It’s a structured space to take action on something that really matters to me and maybe even unlock a new path forward.
Here’s what I’ll get out of it:
Clarity on which of my ideas is worth pursuing (and which aren’t) Tools to test them without wasting time or money A community of people walking the same path (I won’t do this alone) The push to get my first paying supporter not someday, but within 8 weeks
I’m not expecting to change the world overnight. But I do want to move from thinking about it to actually doing something. Even if it’s small. Even if it’s messy.
This course gives me the structure, focus, and accountability I’ve been craving. And it could be a stepping stone toward eventually building something that supports both nature and our life goals.
The investment is 147€, and there’s a money-back guarantee if it doesn’t deliver. So there’s no real risk. Just a chance to try, learn, and grow.
Most importantly: I want you to know this isn’t about running away from anything. It’s about leaning in. To purpose. To possibility. To being the kind of person I want our kids (or future selves) to be proud of.
Thanks for listening and for always having my back 💚
FAQ
Got questions?
What's the difference between the self-paced course and the bootcamp?
Same video material. Same Ecopreneur OS. The bootcamp adds 8 weeks of live group calls, 1:1 sessions with Oli or Michelle, weekly feedback, an accountability buddy, and a cohort of 16 ecopreneurs. The self-paced course is for people who prefer working independently, can’t commit to a fixed schedule, or want to start right now at a lower price.
Do you offer scholarships?
Where does the 15% for nature go?
15% of the 147 € (about 22 €) goes to our nature partner, the Niue Ocean Wide Trust, which protects ocean biodiversity through ocean biodiversity credits. That’s roughly 172,000 m² of ocean protected, just by buying this course.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you’re not happy with what we deliver, you get your money back. No questions asked. Simply write me oliver . dauert @wildya.earth
I don't have an idea yet, can I join?
Why does this course costs money?
We don’t take equity in your venture. We don’t have VC backing or big grants. We sell great products at fair prices so we can keep building and keep paying nature. 147 € for 10+ hours of video, a full operating system, community access, and 2 bonus modules. And 15% goes to protecting the ocean.
Can I upgrade to the bootcamp later?
Yes. If you start the self-paced course and realize you’d love the group experience, write us at oliver.dauert@wildya.earthand we’ll sort it out.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime. The course and the Ecopreneur OS are yours forever. Go through it in a weekend or spread it over 6 months. Your call.
