“I am very grateful for the self-reliance courses and for the Academy. They have motivated and taught me how to start and grow a business. Today we support our house with the sales of these products! Thanks to Start Now, we learned that we can start a business and achieve self-reliance through entrepreneurship.”

“Due to my country’s difficult economic and employment situation, I felt that I should take the ‘My Business’ Academy course. I was able to recognize the skills and gifts I already possessed to start my own business and with guidance from our Heavenly Father, we set out to create our own automotive paint technician business.”
