Entrepreneur’s Academy empowers you to lay out every aspect of your business. Things that would give me anxiety are put into writing so I can visualize them and give them their due consideration. Being able to share with my peers and mentors in the class also gave that extra perspective to help me sharpen those ideas. Sharing in class and going to one-on-one meetings with EA mentors has helped me turn obstacles into opportunities. EA stretches your imagination, reorients your perspective for the better, and emboldens you to pursue your entrepreneurial goals
