"She has a pleasant voice and great organization of the material. The information was put together thoughtfully, there were just places where a little more explanation of terms might have been helpful. Overall I learned some new information and am grateful for the experience." Jai

Great course
Simplicity at its Best . Simplest way to Explain Details .great Course
superbly awesome!! simply no words!! I'm a medical doctor but thanks to author, who will make me a financial wizard, my long term desire will be fulfilled after your course! thanks a zillion! author is awesome!
The content is clear but I thought that I paid for all the lessons while there's only the introduction.
I like the short video content. But i feel every concept needs an example from both software and hardware companies. Great course anyway.
Not enough depth if one is just starting to study business. By itself it has little value but it is a lead up to her much more expensive courses that may be of value to some people. You definitely would need this as a review and first step if you were going to purchase her other courses. She is a consultant and the other courses give you some access to her expertise. She appears very competent and the production is well made. I would consider her when my business gets to the point of needing a competent professional consultant.
great course

It’s a good course just to give you a glimpse of what is coming. I wanted a little more specific details about planning financial models for start ups.
