Learn from the finest and always do your best
1 天前Our start-up course is like learning how to solve an equation with long-hand math. Watching the teacher break down the problem on the chalk-board and sending us back with homework, so we can practice at home and learn the underlying principles. Using AI is like plugging everything into a calculator and generating the answers. So grateful to be working through this course - learning the formulas by working through each one. Once we better understand the formulas - creating personas, validating a business idea, providing evidence, generating a value proposition and presenting the idea - we can better implement these AI tools to SUPERCHARGE our effectiveness and join the top ranks of entrepreneurs who are leading the charge. Thanks, #Amilcar for your leadership and genuine interest in helping the class!
