“I realize that anyone can be an entrepreneur and the method to be entrepreneurial is not complicated, but it requires us to look at ourselves, our contacts, things we have, our own skills”

“I learned that I should know myself very well and be aware of my abilities”

“I really identify with the dynamic career approach presented in this course”

“Although I have had experience with founding start ups, it has been very valuable to become aware of the skills I have learned on the go”

“I learned through this course that the business canvas can be also applied for personal career planning. Before this course I would have mapped my strenghts and interests and visualized possible career paths. I am sure that my current process can be enhanced through the use of the business canvas as it is a tool that helps detect resources, activities and customers directly and analyze the own career in a more concise way”
