So grateful for the opportunity I had to take part in the E-Series! I am excited to implement some big, but positive, changes to my business, that I wouldn't have had the courage to pursue without the program.
Read More“Last week was my first time attending [a weekly connect] and I LOVED it! I have been attending different virtual meetings and events all year (much like everyone else) but this one I'd say has been the best so far. The people were engaging, I loved the simple set up with intros, asks/gives, and questions/discussion. I think this worked really well and let things flow a little more organically than other groups I've been involved with. I made some great connections and contacts even within that first meeting, and I will definitely be attending again today 😊”
Read More“Pitch for the Purse has given me a lot of confidence when it comes to pitching. I was never really nervous about public speaking (because I’ve done a lot of it during my PhD studies), but it helped me narrow my focus on what’s important to know and include in a pitch. Pitch for the Purse taught me the concept of knowing what you don’t know. It’s important to have the expertise and to understand your numbers and financials, so that you know your business frontwards, backwards, and sideways.”
Read More“Pitch for the Purse really taught you to step outside your comfort zone. To not be linear about your business. Doing something that terrifies you [like pitching live to a large audience] can keep you open-minded.”
Read More“I loved and enjoyed the entire experience. It was most definitely the highlight of my business thus far. I have every confidence in myself and my business to succeed. You gave me the first platform to share my company. I am ever so grateful for that. The support I received was the most meaningful for me. Thanks again to all of you.”
Read More“The Forum has made such a difference in my entrepreneurial journey so far.
