Testimonials for this guide:
- Jerson, incarcerated in New Jersey
I use this guide constantly to motivate and inspire me to achieve my dreams and goals of becoming a successful entrepreneur. I related to the hard work and the pride you feel when you see your business succeeding. It motivates me and encourages me to not give up on my dreams of starting my own business.
- Miguel, incarcerated in California
This guide pointed out a lot of key ideas I didn't know about starting my own business. This would have been very helpful when I was in the world trying to start my own business. Level doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, they give you the keys to success. Now it's up to you to drive there.
