Reviews
It is very important to know an entrepreneur, what to do before starting a business and this course will help them much better to perform in the future.
A good overall explanation about the subject but I did expect deeper and more practical examples to be discussed. In general I recommend the course.
Start your own, getting "the Jack of all" mindset is very important to become Entrepreneurship in own business or corporate work culture. Great module, smart learning. Thanks!
What a good scenario for entrepreneurs! Interesting lectures. The lecturer knows what he talks about and gives a panoramic view of topics an entrepreneur needs to take care of. Thank you!
