For 16 weeks, I had the privilege of being part of **Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Cohort 43 at Delgado Community College**—and it has already changed the way I think about MillerFoto and our future.
We didn’t just sit in a classroom and talk about business. We dug deep into our companies—our numbers, operations, leadership, marketing, employees, opportunities, challenges, and most importantly, our plans for growth.
For 16 weeks, we challenged the way we have always done things. We identified new opportunities, built a real growth plan, learned from some incredible business owners, and were pushed to think bigger about what our companies could become.
One of my biggest takeaways was realizing that **growth doesn’t happen by accident. It has to be planned, measured, and acted on.**
I’m already putting what I learned into action at MillerFoto—from expanding our college and university photography business, to improving our systems, strengthening our team, and creating new opportunities for growth.
I’m extremely grateful to the faculty, advisors, business owners, and everyone involved with **Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and Delgado Community College**.
Proud to be a graduate of **Cohort 43**—and even more excited about what comes next.
**The 16 weeks may be over, but the real work is just beginning.**
