Testimonials for this guide:
- Brandon, in federal custody in California
I thank you for helping me on my path to improvement. I really enjoyed this course because it was insightful and provided me with a new perspective about going into business. I learned lingo (product-market) that I was unaware of, and I learned how to evaluate the businesses that are in the market I plan to join.
- Anthony, incarcerated in California
Thank you for the opportunity to participate and further my knowledge, so I can be a productive citizen when I'm able to get into society, and be successful on my own terms. I've read the guide 5 times, and I'm going to continue to use it as a reference. It gives insight on what's needed to start a business.
