Hear it from them…
I attended several workshops run by people with very successful businesses. They had great insights and tips on how to build a business from scratch, and advice on what we should and shouldn’t do.
I learned a huge variety of essential skills from marketing to web development. I have also had access to mentors and industry leaders to help me with my own startup idea. The wealth of experiences and contacts were invaluable.
