I’m attending Boots to Business tomorrow (28 Jan 2026) and looking forward to it as I continue this entrepreneurial journey. For those who’ve already gone through the program: - What were your key takeaways? - What insights shifted your thinking about entrepreneurship or ownership? - Anything you wish you had paid more attention to during the sessions? I’m especially interested in perspectives from those who went on to: - Start a business - Acquire a business - Or decide not to pursue entrepreneurship (and why) Appreciate any lessons learned or advice you’re willing to share. Always value learning from those a few steps ahead. — Dennis
