This course provided me with the building blocks I need to start my journey in food entrepreneurship. It helped me organise my ideas and identify objectives for my future venture. I know now where to begin and what I need to do to establish my business. I now know where my weaknesses lie so I am able to work on them and become a stronger, and hopefully successful, entrepreneur.
