Testimonials

By becoming more involved in the activities of the WBII and making full use of my membership, I have benefited enormously. Through networking at the WBII I have made new contacts who can assist me in my business, have met potential candidates for my clients (recruitment), have worked together with other members which have lead to new business opportunities and most importantly, I have made friends.
By attending some of the courses at the WBII I have learned about marketing, goal setting, and how to relax. The lunch-time goal setting sessions I have learned to be more focussed, evaluate my direction, shared my fears with other member participants who are experiencing similar phases and in turn, this has given me the courage to go out and do things I wouldn’t have otherwise considered – because I realised `if they can do it, what’s stopping me’!

As a member of a Business Breakthrough team, we have supported and encouraged each other, exchanged feedback on marketing materials, business ideas and presentation, as well as how to deal with situations, problems – and, we have a good laugh. -By hiring office space at a very competitive rate, I am able to meet my clients in a professional and comfortable setting with all the back-up facilities I need if necessary.

Starting up for oneself can be rewarding, daunting, exhilarating and so many more things. It can, also be lonely. Being part of the Womens Business Initiative has allowed me, and my business, to grow in ways no business plan could have anticipated. From wise and insightful comments from individuals in a whole other field of expertise I have been able to broaden my horizons, refine my message and increase my skills and become certain of the path I am on – as an entrepreneur. I could not have done it alone – and the advice, support and structure of the WBI has allowed this. Being active at and on behalf of the WBI has meant receiving a wealth of support way beyond the value of what I pay.
