Testimonials

“The process of doing a business plan was useful. The workshop gave me the tools and initiative. But really doing it opened my eyes. Very worthwhile.”

“I used to refer to meeting with Donna as ‘drinking from a firehose’ due to the pages of helpful information and contacts throughout Barrie and the area which she freely shared with me and anyone else who asks, I have come to cherish every meeting I have with her as my business mentor. She defines the path for achieving the ‘new’ and ‘uncharted’ like no other person.”
