TESTIMONIALS

Entrepreneurship Decoded 6-week program was a great way to master and perfect our skills on a greater level. We were able to network and connect with prominent individuals within business. It reassured us that we are on the right track within our business and future endeavors. It’s definitely a program worth taking.

I really enjoyed the sessions about social media growth as well as mental health because I feel that those aspects of owning a company are often overlooked. It was nice to hear everyone’s insight on owning a company as well as the journey of how they became entrepreneurs. I mostly enjoyed the social media session because that has been an area in my business that I didn’t understand how to use properly for client outreach. But after the talk I felt much better about using social media as a tool in my business. All in all I learned so much from every course and I would totally recommend this program to anyone looking to be an entrepreneur or is currently struggling as an entrepreneur.

The most unique aspect of Entrepreneurship Decoded was their prioritization on discussing Entrepreneurship and mental health. It’s rare that programs speak beyond the logistics of how to become an entrepreneur; and instead, prioritize what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur. This aspect of the program was really special to me. Also, genuinely looked forward to attending class every week as the teachers/speakers were phenomenal and the were sure to engage each and every participant! As a result of this program, I was able to buy enough raw materials to be in my first Merchandise fair this fall! Thank-you ED
