Mentoring, Coaching, & Facilitating Business Growth

Entrepreneurship is a journey - one that takes us along a pathway that can be both exciting and challenging.

And while it may seem like we are travelling this path alone at times, help is often available ... we just need to look around and ask! 

Some may discover the value that can be provided through a Mentor as they launch and grow their business. For others, help may come from a Business Coach who works with them on specific aspects of setting up, expanding or improving their business operation. And still others may find themselves in a group learning environment - something like the "Business START-UP Seminar Series" that we've facilitated for the past decade with various Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development departments, and with the help of other supportive organizations and sponsors.

There are always success stories, but as with so many 'good things' it often takes time for that success to be realized. Success is both qualitative and it's quantitative! Success is frequently first recognized by the founders who originally believed in the potential of their business concepts. For others, success requires something more tangible - a product or a service that's delivered to a receptive target audience, willing to purchase from the entrepreneurial business.

One of the success stories that we're pleased to have been associated with, and is 'tasting' some 'sweet success' is Jacqueline Jacek, with her award-winning business, JACEK Chocolate Couture.

A few years ago, Jacqueline attended one of the "Business START-UP Seminar Series" that we facilitated in Strathcona County, just east of Edmonton. Since then, her business has grown and expanded from being home-based, to having multiple locations, and an eager distribution network selling her products.  

Jacqueline's learned a lot on her journey and has been quick to share some of those lessons along the way. 

Here are a few of her thoughts on the value entrepreneurs can gain through participating in something like our Business START-UP Seminar Series:

"Although I studied business at University, I attended a business seminar series while setting up JACEK Chocolate Couture as this was a great refresher on key elements of a successful business.  In addition, one of the great benefits of a business series is that it touches on all facets of a startup, which helped me understand which parts of business (eg. marketing & sales, R&D) I naturally migrate to.  In turn, this helped me understand where my weaknesses are so that I could determine areas where I would need support from the starting line (finance & accounting). Many thanks again Jim.

Jacqueline Jacek, and now have it available for viewing on our YouTube Channel.

So whether it's been MENTORING, COACHING or having participated in a BUSINESS START-UP series, we've enjoyed assisting entrepreneurs in each of these capacities. We believe the important thing to remember is that we continue to learn, grow and share that with others we meet along the way, just as Jacqueline Jacek has done! 
(Thank you Jacqueline.)
