I came into EPG with the hopes of gaining the skills needed to start a business. This made me glaze over all the Appalachian dependency portions of the course and become super focused when we began talking about business models. While I definitely don't feel like, I know everything there is to know about starting a business, I feel like I have an excellent direction and place to start.
