You have made a process which at first seemed sooooo unachievable a reality and allowed me to see it to fruition and I am only half way there. I can’t thank you enough and I wish for you to keep up the amazing work you are doing.
S. McKay Entrepreneur
I am happy to say I have started the course and I am totally impressed with how you have put together and presented the information (its evident you have put in much time and effort in your work). I look forward each day to watching the videos and completing the materials. I haven’t completed the course (or near to) but I want to send you a very big thank you. You have boosted my confidence on the way forward.
Shanneil Entrepreneur
The course is great – it’s really inspiring and focuses your ideas and goals. I also love how you can take it at your own pace which is really helpful to both fit the work in and give time to consider some of the important probing questions. Susannah has a reassuring delivery style in her videos helping you think calmly about your ambitions. The other video testimonials are so human and honest – it’s great to see how these people have realised their ideas in different shoe business models. The assignments help you get to the essence of who and what you want to be in the shoe business. I would absolutely recommend the course to anybody wanting to start a shoe brand – I think there are learnings here that will help avoid common mistakes, so valuable.
