Testimonials from ‘Business Boot Camp’ Graduates

Thanks so much for the opportunity to share my business model canvas, it was great to meet with everyone and share dreams. The past weeks have been a great chance for me to think strategically about my business, as I often find myself caught up in the day-to-day, so being forced to think about Canister Watches from a different perspective was very helpful.  Given that I lack an education in business, these fundamentals have been very important and will be critical to scale and grow in the future. – Chris

I appreciate the time you take with every course. The material for me was eye opening. I knew the direction I wanted to take and realized, that I was moving in the right direction. Having a guide, as was provided, allowed me to look at what has been accomplished and what needs to be done to move forward. Thank you very much. – Dom

I truly want to thank you for this course. I had a passion and a vision, and this course helped me bring it full circle. You helped me connect all the dots and see the full potential of my business. I enjoyed how this course tested my business knowledge and opened my eyes and mind to the endless possibilities my business has to offer.
Thank you again for your support and knowledge. – Jennifer
