So little information and schooling is available to us here. I used this guide more than I thought I would. I have a certificate in business but I needed to look back and check for things I thought I knew. I learned new things and it was humbling to realize how much I forgot. This is a great thing you are doing.

Testimonials for this guide:
- Steven, in prison in Arizona
I'm working on my business plan to be ready upon release. This guide is clear and asks the right questions that I need to answer to begin my business. I feel more confident as I proceed to venture into new opportunities. I love how clear and precise the information is, and the suggestions really help, too. Thank you.
- Melissa, in a county jail in Texas
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.
