It was a great opportunity to get some generalized business knowledge while developing great relationships with other strong, creative female entrepreneurs. I have continued my relationship with my accountability-buddy beyond the end of the course, and hope to keep in touch with the rest of our cohort as well. Courtney and Denise were great facilitators, and were so willing to share their knowledge and time with us all. I strongly recommend this program to anyone who is just starting out. Biggest tip? Do. The. Work. It’ll pay off in the long run.
