5 responses to “Accelerate Your Portfolio Career – Catapult Course | The Portfolio Collective”
A truly fantastic, practical, hands-on course. Loved the structure and by dividing the programme into 8 clearly defined, relevant modules, how to build up a business from scratch was broken down into very easily digestable bite-sized chunks. This has given me so much more confidence to transform an idea into something concrete and give me that guided push to actually make something happen!
Joining a like-minded group of people weekly with challenging but achievable objectives has been so stimulating for both my business and my limited mindset. I’m so glad to have joined this course, it’s really changed a lot for me and I know it will continue to be an amazing resource even after its finished.
The Catapult Course has given me the confidence to narrow down my most valuable skills and position myself for success.
The Catapult course is a brilliant resource for anyone who wants to embark on a new venture. The supportive community of coaches and fellow learners combine to make an environment where you can test ideas, learn new skills and develop your niche offerings. It’s a real voyage of discovery that I would recommend to anyone who wants to start a business, big or small. It certainly helped me far more than I expected it would.
The focus applied to each module helps give my business a solid foundation. All the start-up bases are covered as best as I can manage. As I test and grow my business I am using what I’ve learnt on the modules every hour of every day.
