DBE Graduates Share Their FastTrac Experience
Sheila Jo Burke, S.J. Earth Boring, Inc.
"Excellent program! Many thanks."
Patrick Mansfield, America’s Finest Filters
"After coming to the FastTrac GrowthVenture program, I have built up my confidence level to move forward in building the company. I’ve learned so much from my fellow classmates and through their experiences, good and bad. I’m sure what road to go down."
Leonard R. Paige, L.R.P. Trucking Co. Inc.
"A very good program - opened my eyes about a lot of things."
Martha Rainey, Ah, Whatta ‘Bout Mimi
"I have 2 Masters degrees in business and finance – and FastTrac put it all together. GrowthVenture put me on the right track with realistic, applicable tools. The group discussions had immediate, positive impact, and the lesson plans will be work-in-progress to attain long-term goals. When reviewing last year (2008) and setting our goals for 2009, I asked Kelly what she thought had been our best move in 2008 and her response was - attending GrowthVenture. Thank you!"
Anne Bader, Corn Island Archaeology LLC.
"Listening to Your Business motivated me to start doing a better job of working on the business side of my company rather than the technical work, and I needed to do that!! I got so much out of the program I went back for the ten-week GrowthVenture program."
Anne Bader, Corn Island Archaeology LLC.
"...GrowthVenture lasted only 10 weeks but I know that it will serve us well for years to come."
Toni Levy Toni Levy & Associates
"Listening to Your Business has the ingredients to make me stop and focus on the big picture. See the tree vs. the forest."
Andre Brown, Custom Maids Cleaning Services
"Great workshop, it made me really see things I'm not doing in my business that need to be done. It helped me visualize what my business is supposed to be in three years and the things I need to do to get there."
Donna McDonald, Exclusively for You, Inc.
"Listening to Your Business helped me identify a few of the missing steps that I needed to complete and enhance what I am already doing. Also plan and make the time to implement what I learned."
Joe Lee Phillips, Travelplex International
"The Listening to Your Business program renewed me. I got more out of it than I ever thought I would from a four-hour program. It was great material that reminded me how critical it is to work on my business and not get stuck in the daily work so much that I don’t thoughtfully plan for the future."
Joe Lee Phillips, Travelplex International
"The FastTrac GrowthVenture program was great! It made me think differently about our company. I’ve become more strategic in my thinking and look at information differently. The information that the program exposed me to was invaluable. If I had known that the program was this good, I would have taken it much sooner!
Joanne Poe, Energy Saving Systems
"I came into GrowthVenture with the expectation that I would be given all the answers, literally! Instead it taught me how to understand and find my own answers – and to use my answers to get my long-term strategy for my business off the ground and running."
Cris Carson, Robert L. Schmitt Co, Inc.
"Listening to Your Business is the Best Investment I ever made for my company. I finished the program with tools that will affect the way I manage my company from the very first meeting. Without a doubt, the best program available of its kind. Really!"
