This course emphasized so much on personality. Yes, character is everything in business, an Entrepreneur is a Role Model so therefore adopting the right attitude will protect your brand. The world is watching how you run your business and recording for future judgement.

The course is very precise. I wish I had gotten access to this when I was a manager for the first time instead of having to invent everything on my own. That way I could have grown faster. The course also share generously all tools and documents needed for managers to empower themselves and their teams. All the best and can't wait to complete the rest in this series!
