“Participating in the Next Level Streetwise MBA Program gave me the opportunity to be laser focused on the business side of running my law firm. I made strong connections with business owners in a variety of industries that I may not have ever met otherwise. Most business owners are experts at their particular skill or craft, but not necessarily experts in what it takes to run a business. This program is definitively a game changer.”

– Amanda Jelks – Jelks Law | Nextlevel Graduate, 2017

“Looking back on it, I didn’t know much about business before participating in NextLevel, [It] gave me the foundation I needed. I learned about finances, the need to hire an accountant and attorney, and how to improve my management style. The program was a lifesaver.”

– Walter Lindsey – Unity One East | Nextlevel Graduate

“After completing the NextLevel program my company has doubled in revenue within the first year and has experienced on average 30% growth every year since graduating.”

– Jennifer Hoff – Skye Strategies | Nextlevel Graduate
