“The course was outstanding. Not only did I learn a lot about business, and also myself. The best thing I learnt was collaboration is key. I was very fortunate to be with an amazing bunch of people who have encouraged, supported and helped me along this journey. When I started the course, I felt like a didn’t really have a business in mind, and I wasn’t going to run my own business I was just dabbling.
The others have all done really well, and I am so proud of them. We meet up every month, and I can’t wait to talk over my new venture. If things go the way they always do, there will be loads of support and encouragement all round. I feel the 5-9 course, opened my mind to new possibilities and prepared me for this brand new step in my life.”
