“What I liked the most during Captivate was learning about the different parts of a story, and how there is a framework to use in every story. I could not always join the live sessions but listened to each module (sometimes from my car!), and with lifetime access to the course, I will definitely go back over it all and spend more time on it another time.

To those who hesitate to join, I would say: if you are stuck telling your own story and personalising your marketing, joining Captivate will definitely help. There is loads of content in it, lots of food for thought and practical guidance too, so it was worth the investment.” [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1538588651543{margin-top: 100px !important;margin-bottom: 100px !important;padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Answers to Some Common Questions” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:45|text_align:center|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_tta_accordion style=”outline” shape=”square” color=”black” spacing=”10″ active_section=”1″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Do I need a business idea to take this course?” tab_id=”1538164539344-c4d6f91c-a4e2d264-cf8b676a-e2c808d5-5ccb”][vc_column_text]People have started this program with an idea and after digging into it found a different path.
