The Academy for Creating Enterprise is excited to announce the launch of the updated ACT NOW platform, an innovative online hub designed to help members start, grow, and strengthen their businesses. Serving members across 16 countries, the enhanced platform gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to learn, track, and succeed, all in one place.
“This launch represents a major step forward in empowering our members,” said Cam Crowther, president of the Academy for Creating Enterprise. “With this platform, we’re putting powerful learning tools directly into their hands and helping them gain the confidence to create lasting change for themselves, their families, and their communities.”

All of this information lives in one central location, making it easier than ever to stay connected to your goals and manage your learning journey.
