I love the idea of small business, and they are the heroes of the economy. And it’s so tough and it can be lonely. And sometimes it is a coaching conversation that needs to happen.  I feel like having systems and having the framework so I can not only be certified but but have that extra bit of confidence to sell myself and have that conversation.  – Chris Wilkinson

I’m a CPA, and I’ve always worked with Small Business owners.  I opted into this program because I am looking to transition my career to becoming a small business coach. I’ve always really enjoyed those interactions and that kind of relationship and I want to continue that on as I transition into my later career life and that’s why I’m here  – Kirsten Jenner

Sometimes when people are stuck, yes, it might be a limiting belief. Yes, it might be something that’s coachable, but actually it might also be something that’s really practical. And the resources that I’ve seen from a systems business coach I think are going to be incredible for that. – Mike
