“Working with the Florida SBDC at FAU was just an amazing process to go through. I think I learned a lot in those three years, and it's really a very humbling experience to understand as a business owner, as a person, for that matter, that you never know what's down the road, and you never really know what's coming, but that you need to have a mental preparation and mental tenacity to go through it and not give up.”

"I had the privilege of receiving advice from Dr. Sara Alshareef for my business during the pandemic had an unexpected slowdown. When I started this process, I was at the beginning of my entrepreneurship. Thanks to the didactics of Dr. Alshareef, I have taken important steps in my company to redefine my market offer. I think Dr. Alshareef help me to confront my own mindset, and that is very valuable!"
