SARESA WHITLEY: "When I was talking about knowing if my business is viable or not, through a profit-and-loss model, I was like ‘Wow, I didn't even know the word viable before, and now I do.' I've learned a lot, I've learned a lot about how to write a business plan, about effective communications skills, how to listen, something I didn't know how to do before."
惠特利：“当我谈到通过盈利和亏损模型来分辨我的生意是否可行时，我在想‘哇，之前我甚至都不知道“可行”这个词，但现在我知道了。’我学到了很多东西，我学会了如何撰写商业计划书，学到了很多有效的沟通技巧，如何倾听，以及一些我以前不知道怎么做的事情。”
