Testimonials for this guide:
- Kimberly, incarcerated in Wisconsin
I had no idea how to go about starting my own business and the information in this guide was very helpful. It provided information on how to conduct research before starting a business and how to plan everything. I want other people to learn how to be entrepreneurs, too, and help create a better society.
- Gabriel, in prison in Pennsylvania
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to learn something that can change my life, especially something that I can put to use once I'm out in society. I have read a few articles on how to start your own business. But I have never written out a business plan until now.
