Great for networking and keeping abreast of what is happening in the area Safia Khan, Sep 23, 2021 As a new small business owner I was expecting to gain a few handy tips with this free course I had discovered in the library. How wrong I was! I feel like I have been jet-propelled into the real world of business, armed with skills I didn't even know existed and really confident in my future venture as a Chocolatier @chocaterre. As well as some awesome special guest speakers, our tutor Lisa Young was exceptional in her attention to detail and also provided some very useful follow-up advice to each individual on the course. Pranic Living Adventure, Aug 6, 2021 My experience with the Let's Do Business Group / CHART started in a very smooth, supportive and very professional way. My 1:1 business support with Emily Wright brought so much valuable clarity about how to plan, structure and build my business project that is in alignment with my clients' needs and my skills, experience and natural abilities. Emily provided me with necessary marketing, social media and other tools and tips that I could apply straight away. Working with Emily is a pleasure and joy, seeing her enthusiasm, kindness and understanding of how to plan a business and what actions to take to grow and expand it further. I am really grateful for Emily's professional and thoughtful support, very informative and tailored to my individual needs which I appreciate so much. Thank You. William Hunt, Jul 23, 2021 I found the course extremely useful and informative. The course resources (slideshows, spreadsheets, links etc) are also supplied free after each session for participants to download and use. Very well researched and comprehensive. Very helpful indeed.
