Me encantó, si bien no hice mi proyecto final como lo especifica el curso me dio las bases para crear un tablero en trello replicable a proyectos similares.
She began her journey into entrepreneurship one year after earning her degree in graphic and advertising design. It wasn't long before idea overload and the lack of planning and organization started to take its toll, eventually leading to burnout. Thanks to this experience, she realized that balance is the key to success and discovered that action plans are the perfect tool for pinning down and developing an idea.
