Testimonials
“After careful consideration, I opted for the ASBC Cloud Accounting Package. I can say it’s given me the confidence to go forth in my business with an extra gusto and knowledge that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. In many ways the course reinforced approaches that I had thought of already, and it also taught me new ways of looking at things. I learned how to apply practical skills for running a business and keeping momentum, how to better manage my time and I came out of it all with a detailed business plan which I adjust as I go on and which I still refer back to more often than I thought I would. My chats with various mentors, Steve Slisar and Mark Darling in particular, and the videos I watched which had a lot of other business people sharing their strategies for success you could say, were easy to follow, and quite interesting and have been relevant to lot of situations that I’ve come across running my own business. I honestly can say I got a lot more than my money’s worth out of this course.”
