    It's a good course thank you Sir, I'm able to learn a lot about business planning, but I have a lot of questions which I'll like to ask and I will be so much happy if my questions are strictly answered, thank you

    I found this entertaining but not very informative. There was little practical guidance on the business plan itself just more of general information, not really a business plan but more of a pep talk.

    C'est super intéressant et instructif. Je veux en savoir plus sur la rédaction d'un plan d'affaire. Vous pourriez m'orienter vers un guide ? Ça me fera beaucoup plaisir.
