I recently participated in Sgt Ken's Boot Camp Certification course in Toronto. WOW!! What an amazing experience. I am so thankful there is a course like this. Sgt Ken is a brilliant man and very admirable. I learned so many useful tools and ideas to set my business apart and had a great time doing it. I would definitely recommend this course and any course offered by Sgt Ken.
