It really gave me another vission of how to manage the funds for marketin but I still wanted to learn more details on the different forms.
MA
The course was very impactful. I have gone back from start to finish like twice a day for the past two days. I am not yet done. I will go through the courses
PM
The videos, examples, etc. are tilted towards manufacturing to the detriment of those providing services - especially technical support.

This would probably be my favourite and eye opener. Working out what's the best opportunity to take take up. Getting feedback on the best way to move the business forward.

This course helped me to develop growth opportunities with additional services that I had not previously thought of.
Concise and well delivered. There was one functional error, which would not allow the input of a revenue figure. This was the case in the opera and Safari browsers. Inspecting the element did not help. I bypassed it by pressing next. However, my personal report will be missing this key information, which is frustrating.
Fantastic Course. How can this be free? Thank you Coursera. Thank you Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women
top notch class on strategy
This is a course I would recommend to anyone running a business or who wants to get into business as it helps you look at your business and business opportunity through an objective lens to ensure that it is profitable for both you and potential funders. Most times we disregard putting our plans or visions in writing but this course shows the importance of doing so and the clarity it brings.
Excellent and refreshing course...!!!
The course is very easy to understand, the resources are extremely useful and relevant. I highly recommend for any business owner.
Highly interactive and educative
This course really helped me to better understand and identify growth Opportunities in a business. I'll recommend this to anyone!
great
This course is a great head start to start your business. Knowing the different approaches, weakness and strengths which allow you to fix it. It also teach you about having your Business Growth Plan.
Very instructive, pragmatic and useful even when we received an education in high business schools ode developped countries
This course helps you take a look at your business growth strategy and great foundation for other 10,000 Women Courses.
The course materials were full of insights and case studies to help me understand everything I was learning.
This overview might be helpful for people who are just starting their business or have little experience in the business aspects of their craft or trade. For people who are trying to expand and grow an established business, the approach is too basic.
The course is detailed. I didn't think it would be this interactive, the videos, exercises and the discussion group of fellow entrepreneurs made it much more interesting. The courses are planned without pressure even though there's an expected completion time.
I find myself always looking forward to the next steps even though the responsibilities of a mother and online teaching supervisor pulls me away more often than desired.
I look forward to the other courses even the ones I dread, I'm now excited just thinking of them.
Thank you Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women for this free online course. I don't think I would have been able to afford paying for this amazing course. I have heard of the organisation for over ten (10) years but resigned to fate that i would never be able to participate or benefit of the magnanimity of Goldman Sachs. But here we are, embarking on the long, interesting, amazing, self discovery, business growing journey.
Thank you again Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women
