Great course with a lot of information that seems not very important first (strategy, presence, red flags, assumers, fizzling, pricing...), but if you think and hear about it, you will see that it's essential to build a working business. It's much better to understand that before starting a business and avoid a lot of errors in the long run. Thanks a lot for this informative course!

It was definitely worth every penny

By Roy Pieters on 7/15/2020

The course is really good the guy tells everything really good, the only thing is some topics are outdated therefore no 5 stars.

By Jayson Nabor on 7/8/2020

This is definitely not a course to buy in 2020. The strategies are outdated and need to be updated.

Good so far. Not sure if there's a section on collecting payments, and how to avoid bad clients.

By Michelle Crisan on 12/20/2020

I loved it!

By Yuri Radaelli on 2/7/2020

I strongly recommend this course if you are a developer freelancer or web design team or enterpreneur who want to offer IT services. Evan is a guy with direct experience in offering digital communication tools to startups, so I found very helpful and practical the strategies and - most important - the mindset he propose and discuss in the course, covering really every aspect of what we need to know to grow faster.
