Testimonials for this guide:
- Miguel, incarcerated in California
I found your entrepreneurship guide to be very informative, especially to those of us with little knowledge of how to start and maintain a legal business. I learned about unfamiliar terms like product-market fit, unmet needs, buyer persona, ROI, continuous improvement, break-even point and working capital. Thank you.
- Branden, incarcerated in Nevada
I've used this entrepreneurship guide frequently and continue to do so, as I am making a list to track my ideas, cost, etc. It is easy to read and easy to follow. I like that it's almost a step-by-step guide. What Level does is such an inspiration, keep up the amazing work! Thank you for this opportunity.
