The interaction with business mentors, lawyers, accountants, financial experts, etc., is vital to the whole entrepreneurship experience, and it’s a huge part of the value that Real World Entrepreneur Training brings.

When I enrolled, I had high expectations given the lecture titles. The course actually surpassed the expectations due to the delivery. There is a lot of real world examples, real world successes, real world failures, real world advice. I know that’s the course title, but I still didn’t believe there would be so many real examples based on real businesses. Thanks!
